What is the difference between loose powder and setting powder?

Loose powder and setting powder are actually both used when applying makeup, but the two are different. Loose powder is mainly used to set makeup, especially for nude makeup. In addition to setting makeup, pressed powder can also be used to touch up makeup at any time and it also has a sun protection effect.

1. Loose powder is fine and loose in texture. It is mainly used to set makeup and has a strong nude makeup effect.

2. Pressed powder is mainly used to set makeup or touch up makeup at any time. The makeup effect is relatively more lasting and generally has a sun protection function.

3. Although setting powder and loose powder mean the same thing and are different names for loose powder, their effects are also different. Generally, setting powder is light, thin and transparent, making the makeup look clean after use. Setting powder is finer than loose powder and has no blemish-covering function, but it generally has the function of absorbing oil. Moreover, setting powder now comes in more shades and is better than pressed powder in correcting skin tone.

4. Loose powder is used to conceal blemishes and can also be used to enhance makeup. It is also used on top of pressed powder to further set makeup, making the skin tone more transparent and natural. And after applying makeup after oily skin, sweating, it is best to use oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil first, and then use loose powder to touch up the makeup.
