Whites now end up with some flesh tone in them. Nothing else about our powdering has changed.
Also, can anyone offer tips on powdering the eyelids? I must not be setting them well enough, because I will always get marks in the lids from blinking. It's not real attractive, and it's visible when I alter the shape of my eyes.

Well, it is kind of a double standard I have. I learned with the sock and have been using one for almost 20 years, so it is a comfortable habit. When I was working at the costume, magic,theatrical makeup shop I learned about the newer, better, professionally recommended method of the Neutra-Set with powder puff. It works really well and doesn't generate the clouds of powder that the sock does and gives many people more control. So that is what I generally recommend.
You might try using one side of your "powdering equipment" for the white areas and the other for the more colored areas.
Powder extra well as quickly as possible on the eyelids. That is a trouble area for many clowns.
