Is it better to use pressed powder or loose powder to touch up your makeup?

Exquisite makeup represents a person's mental outlook. Many women face the problem of smudged makeup. In this case, it is very important to touch up the makeup. As for whether to use pressed powder or loose powder for touch-up, it has to do with many factors. Both have the effect of setting makeup. You can choose according to your personal habits!

1. From the appearance

Pressed powder is a compressed powder. Generally, pressed powder comes with a mirror and a powder puff, while loose powder lacks a mirror, and some loose powders do not even come with a powder puff. But for loose powder, using a brush makes the makeup more thin and transparent.

2. From the perspective of makeup touch-up effect

For girls whose foundation fades easily, it is recommended to use pressed powder to touch up their makeup. Pressed powder has some brightening and blemish-covering effects compared to loose powder, while loose powder has no blemish-covering effect.

3. From the makeup setting effect

The setting effect of pressed powder is definitely not as good as that of loose powder. The setting effect of loose powder is definitely better, but for girls with oily skin, loose powder is more suitable for touch-ups.

4. In terms of portability

Although both pressed powder and loose powder are packaged in boxes, loose powder is, after all, bulk powder, suitable for use at home but not convenient to carry outside. It would be better to use a compact powder, which would make applying makeup more convenient.

5. Others

Generally speaking, loose powder is finer than pressed powder and looks more natural when applied.

The coverage of pressed powder and the durability of makeup are better. But it is more likely to become powdery.

Dry skin: In winter (not prone to oiliness and sweating), when you want a clear nude makeup, it is better to use loose powder.

Oily skin: In summer, girls with many blemishes and girls who don’t have time to touch up their makeup can choose pressed powder.

In fact, both can be used, there is not much difference between pressed powder and loose powder.
