Powder

 
Face powder
 
Face powder is used to reduce shine, help fix makeup and to give the skin a smooth look or natural glow. It can also help hide open pores and powder absorbed oil from your skin which stops your complection from looking too oily. It’s available in loose or pressed powder.
Loose powder- This is the most popular due to the natural look it gives, it also lasts for the longest. Makeup artists love to use this product because it make the skin look flawless and porcelain. It’s best used with a large fluffy makeup brush, gently dab it into the powder and tap once or twice to remove the excess. Dust it over the face and concentrate on the t-zone to reduce shin if you have an oily complection. It okay to use at home however if you’re going out and plan on touching up your makeup using loose powder can take more time and make more mess.
Pressed powder- This gives the skin a matte finish and is lightweight and small to carry around. These normally come with a mirror on the inside of the compact and an application sponge however you will get a better result if used with a makeup brush.
If you don’t want your powder to add any colour or tone to your skin tone you can get translucent powder which just sets your makeup and reduces patches of shine.
