What is the difference between pressed powder and loose powder..?

and do u have to wear it if all u wear is mineral foundation?What is the difference between pressed powder and loose powder..?
Pressed powder is a cake of face powder pressed into a mirrored compact with a puff or sponge. It usually has a matte finish on the skin, and is portable and convenient for touch-ups during the day if you have oily skin that needs blotting.





Loose powder has a consistency more like baby powder - soft, fine, and, well, loose. Most brands are packaged in a tin, plastic box, or shaker container with a screen over the powder so you can shake out a little at a time through the small holes in the screen. Unless you have a container that stays tightly closed, loose powder is not very portable. There is a benefit of loose over pressed, though - loose powder is softer and more natural looking on the skin. You can apply it with a powder brush or a puff depending on the finish you want.





Both pressed and loose powders typically come in a variety of skin tone shades from light beige to deep cocoa. There are also translucent or colorless powders that are designed to work on any skin color. If you always use your powder over foundation or concealer, a translucent powder will set the makeup without adding any extra color.





Face powder in skintone colors are great if you want to wear only powder with no other foundation, or if your foundation color needs some adjusting. For example, if your foundation is too pink, you can layer a yellow-based powder over it to make the overall color more neutral. Some brands also make green and violet powders that are supposed to counteract too much red in the skin (you'd use green powder) or too sallow (you'd use violet). Personally I think these are gimmicky and never look as good on the skin as they sound in theory. I recommend sticking to translucent or natural skintone shades.What is the difference between pressed powder and loose powder..?

Should pressed or loose powder be used to set liquid foundation?

pressed powder is generally preferable for touch ups because it is easier to handle and less messy. it is usually made as a powdered form of foundation unless otherwise noted. therefore if you already have liquid on, you already have enough coverage so its best to set with loose powder because it can be applied more lightly like a veil. ifyu use pressed powder you'll basically be usimg two layers of foundation which, one, is completely unecessary and unhealthy for your skin, and two, will most likely look really cakey.Should pressed or loose powder be used to set liquid foundation?

Is mascara and loose powder allowed on airplane?

hahahahahahaha yeah


a certain amount of sun cream isn't though.Is mascara and loose powder allowed on airplane?
its not what it is its how much. So just check on your ticket information, (it tells you the quantity of liquids you are allowed in your carry on) and place only that amount into a separate clear plastic bag (sandwich bag or something) and leave in your carry on bag. have fun where ever you are goingIs mascara and loose powder allowed on airplane?
yes as long as u have them in a plastic bag if they are in your carry on. i brought so so much with me on my last holiday the man looked at me funny then another asked if he could randomly test some of my make up so dont be shocked if they ask that he just played with my mascara and lip gloss then gave it back!


hope this helps :)
yes it is , once they didnt even check what i had they just said go and other people too i guess cuz we looked very decent. I was wearing a jean jacket and jeans and a orange V-neck. Some brown boots. Oh well, and other time they checked but they didnt say anything
Yes but I would put each product in a seperate plastic bag just in case and I wouldn't take your most expensive stuff on the plane, keep that in your suitcase, just in case they confiscate it for some reason.

Is trueblend loose powder any good. And how would i use it?

I use Cover Girl True blend foundation (the one that you pump thing no the little jar one) They now have those jar with loose powder, they also have them for blush and bronzer are they any good. I probably will only use the loose powder since i already like the bronzer i use. so how do i use it. Do it put the bronzer on after hte loose powder. or should i not even use loose powder and just do foundation then bronzer???Is trueblend loose powder any good. And how would i use it?
i purchased some true blend powder 2 weeks ago, and it does not work no where near as good as you see on the commercials. if you don't match your skin color exactly, it will make your skin look discolored. i would suggest not buying, unless they have your perfect color. and yes you put the bronzer on top of the powder.Is trueblend loose powder any good. And how would i use it?
finish ur face make up base and in end apply loose powder with big brush...
