Do you use a brush or a powder puff for loose powder?

Many women like to use loose powder when applying powder. Many people are confused about whether it is better to use a loose powder brush or a powder puff. Some girls feel that powder puffs are easier to use and the effect of applying powder is more even and natural; while others feel that loose powder brushes are easier to use and only require gentle sweeping on the cheeks. So, is it better to use a brush or a powder puff when applying loose powder?

1. Should loose powder be applied with a brush or a powder puff?

1. Use a brush or a powder puff to set makeup according to your skin tone. It is recommended that girls with dry skin can use a powder brush, while girls with oily skin are better off using a powder puff.

2. If it is a granular loose powder, you will usually be given a powder brush. Just dip the brush in it and lightly sweep it on your face. If it is in a pressed powder form, just use a powder puff and apply it like a setting powder.

How to apply loose powder with two brushes

1. Apply primer and liquid foundation with your fingers. After application, remember to cover your entire cheeks with the palms of your hands. The temperature of your palms can help the base makeup blend better with the skin.

2. Apply a small amount of concealer to the dark areas around the eyes by pressing and smearing. You can use a little pearlescent primer before the concealer to make the concealer effect more natural.

3. Frequent movement around the mouth can easily cause powder to stick. Apply a small amount of liquid concealer to the dark areas around the mouth, tap gently, and blend into the skin.

4. Dip a larger powder brush into the powder and lightly sweep it on the lower eyelid, chin, bridge of nose, and forehead. It is best to use a professional loose powder brush, which is not only easy to use, but also can better highlight the effect of loose powder.

3. How to apply loose powder on a powder puff

Step 1: Leave a small gap between the powder puff and the pores, then turn over the loose powder box and shake it a few times. This way you don’t have to worry about only a little bit of foundation getting on the pores on the powder puff, which will leave a deep mark.

Step 2: The powder puff will be coated with a suitable amount of powder. Then fold the puff in half, rub it and apply it on your face.

Step 3: Press gently in the order of cheeks - forehead - nose - jaw. Fold the powder puff in half to deal with uneven and narrow parts like eyes. You should also use the corner of the powder puff to gently press around the nose, and it is recommended that you focus on setting the makeup around the eyes.

4. Powder puffs and brushes and their advantages and disadvantages

1. Advantages of powder puff: strong adsorption ability. The makeup is delicate and flawless, and the powder application is more even and natural. The key is that the texture of the powder puff is better and it has strong powder-grabbing ability. If loose powder is used just right, it can absorb excess oil on the face and prevent makeup from smudging.

2. Disadvantages of powder puffs: Also because they hold too much powder, the makeup will feel too fake after applying it on the face, and the skin texture will be highlighted.

3. Advantages of loose powder brush: the amount of powder picked up is easy to control. Dip the loose powder brush in loose powder and gently sweep it across your face. This will prevent too much powder from being applied and make your makeup look more natural.

4. Disadvantages of loose powder brush: Loose powder brushes are partially made of fiber bristles. If your skin is sensitive and fragile, it is recommended to use a powder puff. It is recommended that girls with dry skin can use a powder brush, while girls with oily skin are better off using a powder puff.
