Have you ever walked down the drugstore aisle and looked at all the brands of makeup with the different types of face powder? It can turn a simple decision into a mystery. Some people don’t know what to do with face powder, and avoid it altogether, while others apply it wrong and lose all of the benefits of the powder. How do you decide what to use and how to use it? Here is a few simple things to make this choice easy.
One of the most commonly used products, face powder is used because it is the quickest and easiest way to cover up blemishes. Face powder also works for “setting” your makeup, and works to create a flawless look. Every girl knows why you go “powder your nose”. Face powder works at giving you that clean look by absorbing oils and grease, thus reducing the infamous “shine”.
Powders will also protect your skin from sun or other harsh weather, all while concealing any discolorations and open pores.
Finding the right powder for you is key, and applying it right makes all the difference. Women have a choice of three different types of powders.
Pressed powder is the type found in a compact, and travels best in a purse. Pressed powder works the best if you are wanting to conceal problem areas on your skin. If you have dark circles under your eyes, or splotchy skin, pressed powder is a good solution. This can be worn alone, or used over foundation to help “set” the foundation in place. This works better for women without oily skin.
