Whats the difference between loose powder and powder foundation?

my sister got me this tru blend naturally luminous loose powder for my birthday (in translucent fair)


but i already have maybelline mineral powder foundation (loose powder also)





is the tru blend stuff powder foundation? it doesnt say foundation anywhere on the thing, so im not sure exactly what its for. anyone know?Whats the difference between loose powder and powder foundation?
Try it on your face, if it doesnt cover and its just a translucent or slightly skin toned powder, then it's just used to set liquid foundation, you apply it after applying the liquid foundation, it is not a foundation itself.Whats the difference between loose powder and powder foundation?
usually if it doesnt say foundation anywhere, its a finishing powder. sometimes loose powders can give very sheer coverage, therefore are not considered either a powder or a foundation. if its the covergirl trublend minerals ur talking about its a foundation. if its the one with the slide off white cap its a powder. the one in a cylinder like container is a foundation. you can use the foundation, then some blush or bronzer, then use the powder, it helps to blend and make pores less appearent, or ';flawless finish'; as they say. remember to moisturize!








hope i helped
if it doesnt say foundation anywhere on the lable it is not foundation. loose powder is more of a sheer cover and powder foundation is actual foundation just in powder form. So the tru blend is just more for sheer cover.
No, it is not a foundation.:)


A loose powder if often used as a


finishing touch to a finished makeup look.


You get a big brush(kabuki/foundation brush)


and dust it lightly all over your face to


make your makeup last way longer.:)


and the maybelline mineral foundation


gives you way more coverage.:)
Loose powder is a light powder formula used to cover shine and absorb oils. Powder foundation is a heavier powder used to even skin tone, hide flaws, etc. Powder foundation is an alternative to the liquids and cream foundations, although it generally does not cover as heavily (which, unless you have a lot of flaws, is a good thing... you don't want to look cakey.). Generally if you wear powder foundation you will not have a need for a loose powder on top as well.





Hope this helps!
