Loose powder or pressed powder? You might be wondering whats the major difference between these except for the fact that one comes loosely packed in a container while the other comes in a brick form. Well, there's more to this powder than this. Choosing amongst these must highly depend on your skin type as not every product suits every face. Let's get to know the difference between these products. 

 

Loose powder

Mostly, the purpose of loose powder is to set your makeup to be its foundation, bb cream, or concealer. So, you cannot use it alone. It ensures that the makeup stays as it is and won't rub off. It is used for baking your foundation. Loose powder is also used to help define contour lines and give your cheekbones a perfect lift. Loose powders have finer particles and have less oil- so, it's best for oily skin. After applying, you need to brush away excess powder from your skin to prevent an extra cakey and powdery look.  

However, if you are someone who needs to dab on the powder again and again throughout the day, then the loose powder is not the one for you. With all the mess it creates, it's best to apply it in the house and let it sit there rather than carrying it around with you. 

Pressed powder

Pressed powders are primarily used to set the foundation and ensure that your foundation or concealer doesn't move. One can use it without any makeup on. Pressed powders can also be formed into foundations and used as a base for your entire makeup routine, or added to liquid foundation to build up coverage. The pressed powder has oils in it as a result it's best for dry skin.

And, if applied on oily skin, it may give some cakey look. A little goes a long way with pressed powder, and you’ll achieve the best results by pressing the powder into your skin. As it is compact, it can be carried around easily and also can be reapplied without causing any mess. 

As the particles of pressed powder are relatively bigger, it will give your face a cakey look if you over-apply it. Also, make sure to keep the consistency equal all over the skin.

Foundation is the first makeup item you put before anything else on your face (after primer, of course), and that's precisely why you're going to enjoy yourself much more once you get it perfect. There are certain things to consider while buying yourself a foundation, a buying guide! We have summarized all those things and compiled it in five points for you!

1. Finding The Ideal Shade 

The first thing you need to consider while buying a new foundation is that you need to do your testing under natural light. You might be used to doing your testing from your forearm but is that the right thing to do? Your forearm is much darker than your face so we suggest you do your testing on your chest. You don't have to have the exact match but match enough that when the color shift during the day your face color doesn't change. 

Find a place in the middle of the face and fade out towards the hairline so that the sides of the cheeks and the middle of the neck match together. If you don't want your face to be as fair, if your neck is lighter than your face, choose a shade lighter than your face so that it's comparable. You can still warm-up your face with bronzer while your skin still appears smooth. So it's not too warm, or it's a lot colder than your throat.

 

2. Skin's Undertones

Don't fight against the natural undertones of your skin unless you want to color-correct. Go for a hue that has yellow undertones if you have warm skin, and if your skin is on the cool side, your best choice is a base for pink undertones. But other options still exist. You should go for neutral and warm colors since different skin tones and colors are easier to match while choosing foundation undertones.

 

3. Coverage level

You'll find a full-coverage base looks thick if you hate wearing makeup. That's why knowing the appearance of each level of coverage is the secret to choosing the right one for your needs.  If this sounds like you, when you're not sure exactly what kind of coverage you need, we suggest choosing a more sheer base. Choose a full-coverage foundation if you want a long-wear base that does not need mid-day touch-ups or has acne or discoloration.

 

4. Skin Type

Dewy or Matte? What do you prefer?  And when it comes to selecting ends, your skin type is a crucial factor. On regular to dry types of skin, dewy foundations appear to work best. Too much radiance looks far oilier on this sort of skin and it's not a nice feeling on the face. Matte foundations are typically better suited to oily skin types in combination. 

Using a satin finish on mature skin instead of a matt one is better. With matte, more mature skin can get away, yet again, just as dewy skin can highlight defects and wrinkles, so matte foundations can be done because there is no dimension to the skin.

 

5. Seasons

All year-round, you won't be able to stick to one foundation color. In spring-summer, our skin appears to warm up when we're more active outdoors and in strong sunlight. even though every day you wear sunblock, our sound warms up. So be considerate enough to pick different foundations for different seasons for the sake of your skin glow.
