The difference between pressed powder and loose powder

Many people do not understand how big the difference is between pressed powder and loose powder. In fact, loose powder is mainly used to set makeup, which can improve the skin and make the skin makeup look more three-dimensional. Pressed powder can make the skin whiter, more delicate and smoother, reduce acne pits and acne scars on the face, and play a good concealer role.

1 Loose powder can set makeup (usually there are loose powder and honey powder in skin color, purple, green, etc. It is usually used with wet powder. After applying liquid foundation, you can first apply a layer of loose powder (choose the color of loose powder according to your skin color and preference) and then apply blush and other makeup. If you think the makeup color is too strong, you can cover it with a little loose powder of skin color. You won’t feel that the makeup is too thick, as if the powder will fall off your face if you move.

2 Loose powder is finer than pressed powder and can set makeup, but it does not cover blemishes or whiten skin. It just makes your makeup more natural. Pressed powder is different. Can have concealer, whitening, etc.

3. If you don’t have anything to cover up on your face, just apply some loose powder after applying foundation.

4 If you want your face to be whiter and more delicate, then pressed powder is a good choice. If you use pressed powder, the foundation will not fade and sometimes you don’t need it. If you want to reduce the damage, remember to use a primer. But you have to use cleansing oil to remove the makeup. As long as the makeup is removed cleanly, it will not harm the skin. Of course, the premise is to remove it cleanly.

5 Generally speaking, people over 30 should use pressed powder, and people under 30 should use loose powder. Loose powder is mostly used to set makeup, and it is very thin and not easy to be oily. The powder is thicker and easier to touch up! If the technique is not good, the effect will be uneven, but more durable. Generally speaking, you will use primer first, then liquid foundation, and finally loose powder to set the makeup. The effect is very good, the skin will not be dry or oily, and it will be pink! MAC is super good!

6 Pressed powder is normally used for touch-ups and is relatively dry. If you want to use foundation, it is recommended that you use liquid powder, which has better heat retention. Loose powder is applied last when you have completed all the procedures. It is used to prevent makeup from falling off.
