Covergirl Smoothers makeupWhat is the difference between pressed powder %26amp; loose powder?
pressed is essentially pressed into a compact, ex: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31鈥?/a>
where as loose powder is ';loose'; and not pressed together. ex: http://www.sephora.com/assets/dyn/produc鈥?/a>What is the difference between pressed powder %26amp; loose powder?
Pressed powder is where none of the powder will fall out of your applicator, and good for a nice coverage.
Loose powder comes out more easily, (kind of gets everywhere!)
Yeah, what the second person said. However, I've always thought loose is kinder to the skin (less clogging of pores, etc) but that pressed covers better. =)

Do I use loose powder, compact powder or pressed powder to set my concealer?
I know its a weird question but, do I use loose powder, compact powder or pressed powder to set my concealer?
And whats the difference between loose powder, compact powder and pressed powder?
No mean answers please because its my first time using make up =]Do I use loose powder, compact powder or pressed powder to set my concealer?
You can use any of them, but make sure the concealer is completely dried before putting the powder on!
Loose powder is easiest to apply, and in my opinion looks most natural. It has doesn't cake or look heavy.
Compact and pressed powder are the same, and go on heavier than loose powder. I recommend this for undereye circles and any blemishes.Do I use loose powder, compact powder or pressed powder to set my concealer?
It doesn't matter which you use. All of them will appear the same.
Loose powder is exactly that, loose powder. The powder doesn't stick together. Compact and pressed powder are the same thing, it just means that all the powder has been pressed together so it stays in the container.
You can use any powder to set the concealer. Loose powder is powder that is like dust. Compact powder has a little mirror with it. Pressed powder is pretty much compact powder!
Use pressed powder slightly lighter than your concealer to set it. :)

What is the best MAC brush to apply a loose powder? I've got 150 but it seems too large .?
It seems I can't cover little spots and I get too much powder on it when I dip it in.What is the best MAC brush to apply a loose powder? I've got 150 but it seems too large .?
After moisturizer or sunscreen, foundation, blush or bronzer, then...
1] dip brush in loose powder
2] tap off excess [ edge of container ]
3] brush over entire face, from hairline to chin
4] then apply eye makeup, lipcolor
NOTE: 'powder' and powder foundation' are not the same thing - a foundation brush should be used for powder foundation.What is the best MAC brush to apply a loose powder? I've got 150 but it seems too large .?
I use #272. I like that it is smaller and angled. I do tap it off first. This brush also is great for blending more then one shade together. It's a fantastic brush wet as well. The colors go on far more intense and last longer. Hope this helps here is a link for the 272.

Will using loose powder make my face cakey? Am i doing it right?
Ok, first in the morning my routine is to wash my face with cleanser, then apply moisturizer, then use a concealer wand and apply to the red spots/ pimples. I do NOT use foundation, and i don't really want to bc my skin is acne prone, even if the foundation is the kind thats designed for that. Recently my mom bought me a loose powder with a brush that's my tone color. Will applying it make my face cakey? Am i doing it right, as in the order of the stuff i put on my face?Will using loose powder make my face cakey? Am i doing it right?
That's exactly what I do. I worry that applying a liquid foundation would make it look cakey after a long days work and aggravate my acne-prone skin as well.
Small suggestion: Everytime you're finished doing your makeup, take a mirror and go right up to a window (make sure that there is no artificial light in the way of the natural), and simply look at yourself in the natural light.
It'll reveal if you didn't blend right or missed a spot perfectly. Often times in artificial light, it'll look perfectly fine, so if you want to make sure, this is what I always do and it works perfectly for me.
Hope that helps you out,
RayeWill using loose powder make my face cakey? Am i doing it right?
Yes you would apply it last. However, if you find your face looks cakey I'd recommend using an exfoliator to remove the dead skin cells. Your face shouldn't look cakey just from using powder.
If you put moisturizer on first then no, if it still looks cakey get a different kind or don't put as much on or you can spray your face with water from a spritzer.
Yes, you are doing it right, and it shouldnt make your face look cakey unless you put too much on
Yes, the order is correct. Loose powder shouldn't make your face cakey unless you apply too much. Here is how you should apply it:
Put a little bit of the loose powder in the container lid. Swirl your brush in the powder. Tap the brush to remove excess powder then apply onto your face in small circular motions.
Goodluck!

What is the best translucent loose powder out there that stays on like ou have nothing on and will absorb oil.
I want to know is there a translucent poweder out there that will go on like you have nothing on. At the same time absorb oil for all day wear. I currently use MAC. It seems to work good. Any other ones that you know of?What is the best translucent loose powder out there that stays on like ou have nothing on and will absorb oil.
Face powders are one of the few products where price doesn't necessarily mean the best. To make your powder stay requires proper preparation and application. Use a moisturizer and foundation that suits your skin first. Then use a large brush to sweep your loose powder on, tap the brush lightly on the powder box to remove the surplus powder . This will stop too much powder going onto your face. Sweep the brush from the top of your head downwards. To maintain your look as long as possible use a fine spray such as an atomiser filled with rose water or mineral water and spray lightly. This will set your powder.
Success will depend upon your complexion - oily skin will mean less staying power and how hot it is - you can't stop perspiration. To touch up, take a tissue and split it so that it is just single thickness and use this to blot any excess oil. That should be all you need to do, but you can also get blotting paper such as MAC or at Bodyshop to help repair.
As for products, I'd recommend going to the make up counters and finding out what suits you as we are all different and what works for one person may not work for another. Also having a makeover is fun! You might also ask if there are some samples you could try before you invest.What is the best translucent loose powder out there that stays on like ou have nothing on and will absorb oil.
I use MAC as well and like it. There is also Lancome Loose powder or estee lauder but it will be more pricey.
Bare Minerals. I love it!!

Mac blot poweder is the BEST
MAC Invisible Set Powder (only available at MAC Pro... you can call them and order it from the closest Pro store). Also the trusty MAC Blot Powder is also great!
Try Merle Norman. Hard to find a store sometimes, though. Mac IS one of the best, so good luck.

Maybelline mineral foundation!!!What is best mineral loose powder foundation which can get from boots?
Well i buy L'OREAL paris Bare Naturals,
it works pretty good to me and many others in my family.
It's not expensive i think its about $6, they
also have many varieties of blushes.
I'm not realy sure if you can buy it at boot,
but thats cause i have never heard of that
store. I live in a lil town in Texas.
L'oreal true match minerals from boots is gr8 value for money
maybeline mineeral foundation is a must
definately maybelline.
I live off the stuff.
make sure you go for a lighter colour than you are though, because it tends to make you go quite orange depending on your skin tone.
L'oreal True Match Minerals is really good. It gives good coverage and a velvety texture. It was the highest rated mineral loose powder foundation in Look, so worth a try.
Good luck!can dogs eat celery
