Face powders are an important part of the makeup application process. They are meant for setting up all your makeup. I apply it right after the concealer and let it sit for sometime and then brush off the extra powder.
As we all know there are various types of powders that are created in order to fulfill specific purposes. So, today I will talk about all such types of powders today, their purposes and some of the brands that have the best powders in the market.
Lets get into the types of powders first.
- LOOSE POWDERS
- TRANSLUCENT POWDERS
- MINERAL POWDERS
- COMPACT/PRESSED POWDERS
- FINISHING POWDERS
Like seriously, I did not even have any idea that there are these many powders in the market.
- LOOSE POWDERS
Loose powders, as the name suggests, are loose particles packed in a jar. They are mainly used in order to set all the concealer in place and also for a heavier coverage.
This can be applied with wither a powder brush or a beauty blender.
- TRANSLUCENT POWDERS
These are normal powders that come in both loose and pressed form.
- MINERAL POWDERS
These are very similar to loose powders by appearance.
- COMPACT/ PRESSED POWDERS
These are the opposite to loose powders. They are easier to carry in bags as the risk of their fall out in minimal.
- FINISHING POWDERS
I recently learnt about this powder. It is mainly a white color powder that is used mostly for photo shoots on models for a flawless finish and also so that the face look crease less. but it has to be applied in an appropriate manner.
These come as both forms :compact and loose.
