Do you use baby powder?

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

I sprinkle it in my shoes in the summertime.

I don't, because baby powder doesn't really dissapear on my skintone or my jet-black hair. If I was blonde, I'd use it to keep my hair/scalp fresh in between shampoos.

I only use it in my swim caps... I know, I know...

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

I once read some 1950s guide to "being a lady" that said to dust yourself with it every summer day. But when I tried it, I just smelled really strongly like sweaty baby powder. It was disgusting. So, uh, no, not after that.

i use it in my hair. lilykind i have dark hair too but i use it with an old makeup brush (cc's tip) and it works great on days when my hair is a little greasy!

blubirde · Chanel

I use it on my hair on days I don't wash it. I've also used it on my thighs in the summertime when I'm wearing a skirt so they don't get clammy in the heat. It's something my mom taught me but it just occurred to me that it might be weird... Oh well, it works.

small fry · Chanel

I use it for my hair to take the oil out in between washing.

Do you just apply it to the root? Or the scalp?

cc · Marc Jacobs

I hate the smell of baby powder so I just use regular cornstarch. Sometimes in the summer I'll use it on my shoes/feet but mainly I just use it on my hair in between washings.

Kitty - I just apply it to the roots (so I guess it also gets on my scalp?) with an old blush brush. And I just do it along my part, in my long bangs/layers in the front and sometimes at the temples.
