Can loose powder replace pressed powder? They each have their own functions.

In fact, loose powder and pressed powder are not only different in form, but also in other aspects, so these two products are not interchangeable in your makeup bag!

Loose powder cannot replace pressed powder

Loose powder cannot replace pressed powder, because pressed powder belongs to base makeup, which plays the role of applying makeup and setting makeup, but the main function of loose powder is to set makeup and absorb oil, while pressed powder has higher concealing power and coloring power. There are two types of loose powder: colorless and colored. Colorless loose powder is used to set makeup, while colored can also play the role of even and adjusting skin tone, but it cannot achieve the role of pressed powder in touch-up, whitening and concealing, so it cannot replace

The order of using loose powder and pressed powder is different

Loose powder is used as the last step, and pressed powder is used after foundation

Loose powder

It is mainly used to solve the problem of oily T-zone. It has a light texture, but poor concealing power. It is mainly used as a light makeup setting liquid. It is used as the last step to make the makeup last longer and look very transparent.

Pressed Powder

It is used after liquid foundation. Use it to even out the oily face and press it into a matte finish so that the skin looks more even and natural. The pressed powder has strong concealing power, but its disadvantage is that it is not as light and thin as the first two.

The usage of loose powder and pressed powder is different

Pressed powder is usually applied with a sponge, or by spraying the sponge with water and then dipping it into the powder for foundation. Loose powder is applied with a matching brush as the last step of base makeup.

The makeup effects of loose powder and pressed powder are different

Pressed powder is a skin-colored powder with strong concealing effect, which can help to even out skin tone. In theory, it belongs to base makeup like liquid foundation and powder cream, but because it is easy to carry, it is more often used as a touch-up product. In daily life, it can be used to suppress oiliness after sunscreen when making up lightly. Liquid foundation is not needed at this time. Do not stack pressed powder and other base makeup products when the makeup is still on. Otherwise, the concealing effect will be too heavy and you will feel like a mask.

There are colorless and transparent loose powder, natural color but basically no concealing ability, and green/purple/pink that slightly adjusts the complexion. Each has matte and slightly shimmering options, and there are also loose powder and loose powder forms. Loose powder is generally pressed looser than the foundation powder. It is generally used to set makeup and suppress oiliness. When applying eye makeup, in order to prevent eye shadow powder from flying and messing up the foundation, you can also spread a layer of loose powder under the eyes, and then use a brush to sweep it off after the eye makeup is done. Green/purple/pink can adjust red blood streaks/dark yellow complexion/no blood color respectively, but the effect is more natural. If you want a stronger effect, you still need to use concealer and blush to adjust. Most loose powders contain talc. Some acne-prone or sensitive skin may be more sensitive to this. You can choose mineral loose powder or silicon-based powder.

Loose powder can be used with pressed powder

Girls can choose to use loose powder or pressed powder to set their makeup according to the makeup effect they pursue. Loose powder and pressed powder are not mutually exclusive and cannot be used at the same time.

Professional makeup teachers believe that using loose powder first and then pressed powder can reduce the powdery feeling. If you use them in reverse order, you will truly have a radiant glow from within.
