But both pressed powder and cream foundation can give you the right amount of coverage mixed with the perfect glow, all while looking natural. Consider your skin type when deciding which is right for you. Pressed powder gives skin an even, matte look, but the trick to using pressed powder is two-fold: your skin type and the right makeup tool. Puffs don't allow you to evenly apply the powder and they also run the risk of collecting bacteria.
The best way to apply pressed powder and loose powder too -- is with a mini kabuki brush ; it creates an even, fresh-looking finish. Second, consider your skin type. Pressed powders work better for normal, oily and combination skin , as powders help absorb oil and reduce shine , leaving you with a smooth, matte finish. If you have combination skin, apply powder only where you need it, such as your T-zone where you may be more oily. If you have flakey or super dry skin, pressed powder can cake and dry out, no matter how great your application skills and makeup tool are.
Cream foundation has a reputation for looking cakey and unnatural, but similar to pressed powder, it's all about skin type and application. Creamy foundations are great for normal and dry skin. Their creamy texture won't give skin a dried-out look while offering an au naturel look. Plus, they boost skin's hydration and moisture. If you have oily skin and you prefer cream over powder, opt for an oil-free liquid. The trick to applying liquid foundations is to not overuse -- a little goes a long way.
Here, we're going to tell you everything you need to know about face powders: the different types, how to apply them, and why you should consider adding one to your makeup arsenal if it's not there already. While everyone wants to glow, nobody wants to look greasy, and powder is a great mattifier.
Powder atop your liquid or cream foundation helps to set it so that it won't migrate into any lines or slide down off your face. Certain powders can also reduce the look of fine lines and pores. Powder is also a great base upon which to apply blush , contour, bronzer, or shimmer.
You can apply those things straight on top of your foundation if you like, but everything lasts longer when powder is in the mix. Another option is to use powder to set cream eyeshadow, turn down the volume on blush that's too bright, give a slippery lip color more staying powder, and in an emergency, as a replacement for dry shampoo.
Loose powder comes in a jar, has smaller particles and therefore a finer consistency , and usually gives lightweight coverage. It's also messy and hard to transport, so this guy is meant to stay at home. Pressed powder comes in a compact and contains ingredients used to turn the product into a semi solid. These are usually things like silicones and waxes, so if your skin is annoyed by that stuff, you may have a hard time with pressed powder.
Since the particles are slightly bigger and contain these stick-together ingredients, applying too much pressed powder can result in a cake-y appearance. Using a little as a touch up throughout the day, though, is quick and easy. The difference between setting powder and finishing powder is a little nebulous. Many cosmetic companies use these terms interchangeably, so it's partially a matter of marketing. Setting powder is what we think of as classic powder—it goes on after your foundation to get rid of shine and "set" it so that it lasts a long time.
It can be tinted to match your skin or translucent. Finishing powder is generally used after setting powder to blur fine lines and pores, giving you an airbrushed look.
It's best for situations where you're going to be photographed a lot, rather than an essential step for everyday makeup. These powders are white, so if you're going to be dealing with powerful cameras and flashes, you need to be careful. If you use too much or don't blend well, you can look like you fell face down in a bucket of baby powder as the light from a flash can bounce off certain ingredients, causing the dreaded chalky white flashback.
However, for normal life, applying a finishing powder as a setting powder won't have terrible consequences if you use a little and blend it well. HD powders are usually finishing powders. They are so named because makeup artists working on TV and movies that shoot in high definition found that other face powders read as too heavy on film.
