The difference between liquid foundation and pressed powder

Liquid foundation and pressed powder are very common to many girls because these two things mainly appear in cosmetics. Generally, these two types of cosmetics are sold together because they belong to the same kind of makeup products. Some girls think that liquid foundation and pressed powder are the same and have the same function. Actually, they are not. There are some differences between liquid foundation and pressed powder. If you don’t understand yet, read on.

Many people think that there is no difference between liquid foundation and pressed powder. They believe that these two types of cosmetics are just for concealing blemishes and have a skin care function. In fact, liquid foundation is more lasting than pressed powder, and the directions for using the two are also different.

1. Liquid foundation

Liquid foundation is a liquid powder with concealer function, which is mainly divided into two textures: oil-in-water and water-in-oil.

(1) Oil-in-water means that oil molecules encapsulate water molecules. The application effect is moisturizing, easy to apply, and has a significant concealer effect, but it is easy to produce oil and the makeup does not last long.

(2) Oil-encapsulation means that water molecules encapsulate oil molecules, resulting in a slightly moist application effect, good concealing effect, and long-lasting makeup.

2. Pressed powder

Pressed powder can be divided into wet and dry dual-purpose pressed powder. The pressed powder is a powder block product that has a makeup-setting function. Pressed powder can be applied to the face with a wet powder puff to cover blemishes, while the dry powder puff can set makeup.

The second difference: liquid foundation and pressed powder are two different concepts

1. Liquid foundation

Liquid foundation is used to cover blemishes and moisturize the skin, and is just a foundation for makeup.

2. Pressed powder

After using liquid foundation, you need to use powder to set your makeup. If you don’t use powder, your face will look oily and lack texture.

The third difference: the effects of liquid foundation and powder are different

1. Liquid foundation

2. Pressed powder

It can be used after using all skin care products. It has whitening and concealing effects. It is easy to use and can be used to touch up makeup anytime and anywhere to suppress oiliness.
