How to repair a crushed powder

Pressed powder is a common cosmetic. It is mainly composed of powder. If it is used improperly and is subjected to vibration or bumps, it can easily cause the pressed powder to break. Some pressed powder is relatively expensive, and it would be a pity to throw it away like this. In fact, the broken pressed powder can be repaired through certain methods, and the repair method is also relatively simple. Let us learn how to repair broken pressed powder.

How to repair a crushed powder

First, prepare an A4 paper, a rolling pin, a small spray bottle, and plastic wrap.

Step 1: Pressing the powder

Fold an A4 paper in half, press out a crease, pour the powder on the A4 paper, fold it in half, and use a rolling pin to roll the powder into smaller pieces until it becomes a uniform powder.

Step 2: Install the powder box

Pour the rolled powder back into the powder box. If the powder is dry, spray some water or alcohol on it and cover it with plastic wrap.

Step 3: Pressing the powder

Use one end of a rolling pin to compact the powder little by little. During the compacting process, you can continue to shake it left and right to allow the powder to fill the edges and gaps of the powder box.

Step 4: Press the powder

After pressing, remove the plastic wrap and gently sweep it with a powder puff, and the indentation will disappear. Isn’t it magical?

Step 5: Finish

A box of brand new powder is successfully restored and can be put back into the bag for use

If the powder cake is broken, there is no need to throw it away in a hurry. You can use water or something to restore the powder cake.

The difference between powder and air cushion bb

Air cushion BB cream is a sponge air cushion BB powder cream that simulates the principle of honeycomb storing honey, locking the BB cream in a sponge air cushion powder core with thousands of fine pores. By gently patting it, it creates an airy nude makeup effect, which has a similar effect to liquid foundation. It is equivalent to liquid foundation, and its main functions are concealing blemishes, isolating and toning the skin. Pressed powder is dry powder compressed into a cake-shaped loose powder that has the function of setting and touching up makeup. When used as pressed powder, air cushion BB cream can fit into the pores more easily, so it has a good adhesion effect and is not easy to smudge, which is an effect that pressed powder does not have.

1. The difference between pressed powder and air cushion in terms of texture

Pressed powder is loose powder pressed into a cake shape. The powder is fine and can be used both wet and dry. The air cushion foundation is made by pouring BB cream, CC cream or liquid foundation into a water-absorbing sponge pad, and its texture is moist and smooth.

2. The difference between powder and air cushion in terms of makeup feel

The air cushion foundation is made by pressing the sponge air cushion and using the air cushion puff to evenly pat the foundation on the face. The makeup looks clear, natural, and lighter, with a shiny skin effect. Pressed powder is pressed onto the face with a powder puff or brush to create a soft light effect, more of a matte skin.

3. The difference between powder and air cushion in terms of usage order

Although both air cushion foundation and pressed powder can be used as makeup touch-ups, the air cushion foundation uses an air cushion puff to press the sponge to apply makeup, and is more used as a foundation application step. Pressed powder is applied with a brush or puff and is better for setting makeup.
