Do I need to use loose powder after using pressed powder?

The two things are actually similar, and both can be used to set and touch up makeup. You don't need to use both at the same time, just choose one. Although foundation and loose powder are different, they still have something in common. Loose powder has a better oil-control effect and is more delicate than pressed powder, but it is not convenient to carry. The pressed powder can not only be used directly, but also can be dipped in water and used instead of foundation, which is convenient to carry.

The difference between pressed powder and loose powder

1. The makeup effects are different. Loose powder can control oil and set makeup, making the makeup more natural and lasting. Pressed powder can be used wet or dry, which can cover blemishes and balance skin tone.

2 Compared with pressed powder, loose powder has finer particles, and the makeup effect is more adherent and transparent, while pressed powder has denser powder particles and has stronger blemish concealing ability.

3 Pressed powder has a sun protection effect, with a value of 20-35, while loose powder does not have sun protection ability.

4 The effects of using a sponge puff or a loose powder brush are different. If you use a loose powder brush, the makeup effect is similar to loose powder and can set the makeup well. Using a sponge puff will have a good blemish-covering ability, which is equivalent to the effect of loose powder plus a sponge puff.

5. Loose powder is for better setting of makeup, while pressed powder can be used to set makeup and can be applied alone. Pressed powder is mostly used for daily makeup, and you can touch up your makeup anytime and anywhere.

Correct use of pressed powder and loose powder

1. Dip a proper amount of powder into the foundation and apply it from the inside out. Focus on the center of the face and apply a light layer on the surrounding contours to create a natural three-dimensional effect. The fragile eye skin also only needs a light layer.

2. For loose powder, just press the powder puff on your face and use a brush to sweep away the excess loose powder to make your skin fit more naturally. The effect will be better after two applications.

3. Generally, apply powder or loose powder after primer and foundation.

What Pressed Powder and Loose Powder Have in Common

Use it as a finishing touch to touch up or set your makeup. The effect after use makes your makeup more natural and transparent.

Precautions

Choose a powder that suits your skin tone.

Both pressed powder and loose powder need to be applied in appropriate amounts, otherwise it will backfire.

Loose powder, honey powder, setting powder, and crushed powder are actually the same thing, which is the powder that has not been compressed and is scattered like ordinary flour. Its function is to be used after foundation to set makeup. Loose powder is not just a cosmetic that beautifies the skin. Its role in makeup is like a tool, and it runs through the entire process of completing the makeup. It can be used to fix and soften all colors and cosmetics.

It is a buffer between foundation and makeup colors. The skin that has just applied foundation has high humidity and viscosity, and it is easy to absorb the color of cosmetics. In this case, many colors, such as blush and eye shadow, are not easy to apply evenly, forming mottled color blocks on the face. After using loose powder, the skin will become dry. At this time, the color of makeup is easier to blend evenly.

It is the fixing layer of the foundation. Loose powder is also called setting powder, which can fix the foundation. Foundation with high humidity is easy to move and get stained. Loose powder can absorb excess moisture and oil and play a role in fixing the foundation.

Please note that loose powder should be applied by patting, not moving! Doing so will cause the foundation to shift on your face!!

There is another small member in the powder foundation, which is the wet and dry powder foundation. As the name suggests, this powder can be used dry like ordinary powder, or you can wet the powder puff and dip it in powder. When used wet, the effect is more natural and adheres more closely, while when used dry, the coverage is better and the oil control effect is also better. Usually, if the skin is very oily and you need to touch up your makeup, you use pressed powder. So I suggest you use powder.
