Can loose powder be applied directly to the face? Can loose powder be applied over lipstick?

We all know that loose powder is used to set makeup. Generally, after applying base makeup, a layer of loose powder is applied to set makeup. Now, many lipsticks are easy to fade, so many people use loose powder to set lipstick. So we need to know whether loose powder can be applied directly to the face? Can loose powder be applied on lipstick?

No. This will not only have no effect, but also easily damage the skin. For oily skin, applying loose powder directly can easily clog the pores, causing skin inflammation and acne. For dry skin, the skin will become drier and even peel after applying loose powder on the face. First of all, it should be made clear that loose powder belongs to the category of makeup, not skin care products, so applying it directly on the face will not have any effect on skin care. The first step in skin care is to clean it well, and the next step is to use skin care products suitable for your skin type. Whether to put on makeup depends on your needs. You can choose to go out without makeup or put on beautiful makeup, but skipping the skin care steps and using makeup directly will cause greater damage to the skin. If you apply loose powder directly to your face, the fine powder can easily clog your pores. At this time, cleaning will cause confusion in the steps and easily disturb the condition of the skin.

Loose powder can be used to set lipstick. The specific usage is: after applying lipstick, when the lipstick is a little dry, cover the lips with a piece of paper, then use a brush to dip loose powder and apply it on the paper, so that the loose powder can absorb the excess moisture on the lipstick, making the lipstick more shiny on the lips, and the lipstick will also last longer. The so-called lipstick floating color can be simply understood as discoloration. The outermost layer of lipstick is the easiest to fade, and it is easy to fade when it touches food or cups. There is a way to make lipstick last longer: apply lipstick on the lips, apply it evenly, then cover the lips with a piece of paper, spray water on the lips with a small spray bottle, and then pat the paper with your fingers. The excess lipstick will be stained on the paper towel. After uncovering the paper towel, the lips will be more moisturized, more delicate, and the color will be better.

Loose powder can only slightly cover blemishes. If the blemishes on your face are serious, the effect of using loose powder alone is not very obvious. It is best to use liquid foundation or concealer to cover the blemishes, and then use loose powder. After setting the makeup, it can effectively improve the blemishes and make the face look smoother and more delicate. After using loose powder, the skin tone will become more even and look smoother, thus effectively improving the dullness of the facial skin.

Loose powder cannot replace prickly heat powder. The two are completely different substances. Loose powder is a kind of cosmetics, which generally contains fine talcum powder. It can absorb excess facial oil and reduce facial shine. It can comprehensively adjust the skin tone, make the makeup more lasting, smooth and delicate, and prevent makeup from coming off. The main ingredients of prickly heat powder include talc, angelica, guanyin, borneol, alum, menthol, essence, etc. It is mostly used for symptoms such as prickly heat rash, prickly heat, and itchy eczema. It is an OTC Class B external-use medicine. Prickly heat powder must comply with the pharmaceutical standards for Chinese medicine formula preparations in the "Pharmaceutical Standards of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China".
