Contains less oil and absorbs excess oil from the skin and sets makeup. Grab a pen and a notebook, ladies! To prevent the product from spilling, gently shake some of the loose powder onto the grid of the jar and gently dip your kabuki or powder brush into the product. To prevent applying too much powder on the face or product wastage, gently tap the excess product while holding the brush vertically. As compared to loose powder, compact powder has a heavier consistency.
It also contains more oils than the loose powder. While it does help to conceal those blemishes , too much product will make your base look cakey. Hence, you should always follow the less is more rule.
Either with a powder puff or a powder brush, swirl it into the powder and gently tap the brush to get rid of excess product. Then gently buff the powder into your skin and focus mainly on the oily parts of your face like the T-Zone area and hairline.
Pick up both! Both products are worth the bucks if you know how to use them. Compact powders are a great product for the girl on the go. Whereas, loose powders are that special makeup product to use on important events or when you have time on your hands. Be careful though, too much of compact powder product will cause creasing and makeup your base look cakey.
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. Your call. Powder that matches your skin tone can add a little extra coverage and help conceal any spots or scars that you may have. It can also look thick, especially as you reapply. Translucent powder matches all skin tones when blended well. It's great for killing shine and doesn't add a ton of extra product to your skin as you touch up throughout the day.
Applying a moisturiser always helps to make your skin smooth. But if you are wearing no foundation or concealer and are directly going to apply compact powder, then applying moisturizer beforehand helps a lot especially for the dry skin family. So make sure you drink lots of water and use a moisturizer.
This is very crucial, even for the girls with oily skin type. Never underestimate the power of a primer. Primer shuts all your pores, making your skin smoother and the powder is then able to sit on your skin. This will help the powder to not sink into your skin and fade away. Primer plays an important role in making the powder or the base makeup actually stick to your face and not slide away. Once you have prepped your skin for makeup, start with a foundation if you want full coverage. Compact powders just give you sheer to medium coverage.
So if you need the full coverage then go in with an even coat of foundation and concealer before the powder. Do note that if you do not want full coverage and want to avoid using a foundation, then you can skip this step. The technique of applying a compact powder is going to be the same even if you apply it over a layer of foundation or directly after a primer. You may use a powder brush, makeup sponge or a beauty blender in order to apply the powder.
If you want a sheer coverage, then you can just dust the powder on your face with a powder brush. But if you want a little more medium coverage then you need to go in with your sponge or blender, pick the product and press it on your skin to seal the deal.
Compact powders are widely used and are easy to manage and use as compared to loose and translucent powders. As the name suggests, they come in a compact formula and not in the loose form. Compact powders are pigmented and available in different shades.
