How to Apply Loose and Pressed Powder

How to Apply Loose and Pressed Powder

When you think of makeup, there is no one product or cosmetic that stands out from the rest. There are a lot of elements and ingredients that constitute makeup and blend together to give your face a flawless glow. A well applied foundation and nicely blended concealer can work wonders for your patchy and discolored skin, but they alone cannot hold your new face together for very long. This is because no matter how high quality your foundation or concealer is, they need to be held solidly in place with the help of powder.

 

 

Powder is a crucial ingredient of good makeup. Powder promises to hold and set your base of foundation in place while you apply other makeup to it such as eye makeup, blush, etc. In the absence of powder dusted on your foundation, applying such makeup is very difficult as in most cases; the blush doesn’t reflect well or gives a patchy look to your skin. Not surprisingly then, world over makeup artists and skin experts have argued the importance of dusting some tinted or translucent powder over your foundation to give your face an ethereal and natural glow that stays on for long.

When buying your powder

Today, there are so many powders being sold in the market that it is, at times, confusing to understand as to which powder would suit you best.

If and when you find yourself in such a confusion, the best thing to do is to take some time out and reflect on why you need such a powder and how do you plan to use it. There are different powders that rectify different skin ailments. For example, if you are prone to dark circles and are looking to conceal them with some concealer and powder then you need to buy some loose powder which can be lightly dabbed in the under eye area to better camouflage your concealer. Similarly, there are different kinds of powders available in the market for oily skin, dry skin and uneven skin tone to name the most popular ones.

That having said, the same shade and brand of powder may not suit all types of skin tones. That is why you should always try on your powder before buying it. Actually, the best thing to do is to buy your powder along with your foundation or concealer, depending on which one you use more often. This way, when you try on your foundation in the shop, you can blend in different shades of powder as well to see which give you the best coverage or the best glow.

Kinds of powder

Generally there are two kinds of powder available in the market, namely pressed powder and loose powder. Given your complexion and skin ailments, you can choose either one of them.

Pressed powder is just as its name suggests - loose powder pressed well together and set in a portable and convenient container that can be easily and safely carried around in your handbag, vanity kit or even purse. Loose powder is on the other hand, powder that is not packed tightly and comes in a handy canister or a box with a screw lid.

An important thing to consider is the coverage required from the powder. It is generally felt that loose powder offers a better and more natural look because of its light-as-air quality. Plus, such loose powder goes well with foundation, since its light nature ensures this powder gels well with your chosen foundation and sets immediately. Pressed powder on the other hand, is slightly heavier and hence good for spot application, such as covering or dabbing on pimples and zits. For this reason pressed powder is generally preferred for carrying around and doing quick and easy touch-ups around the clock.

The last thing to remember is that if you are buying loose powder, then you also need to invest in a good quality, thick brush to ensure natural and full coverage. Should you be buying pressed powder, then you need to look for a good powder pad or sponge. Using a sponge to dab your pressed powder will give the best results if you are looking to cover your problem areas such as under eye dark circles.

Applying your powder

A best practice that most makeup experts swear by when it comes to powder in particular is ‘less is more’. Always keep this is mind while applying your powder over the foundation. To begin with, apply your matching foundation and concealer in a cool room and allow it a minute or two to settle down. Next, carefully open your pressed powder or your loose powder container and dip your brush or sponge in it.

Always remember to gently tap your brush or sponge against the container to dust off all that extra powder clinging to the brush or pad. Some women prefer to wet their sponge in a bit of water and then dab it in powder before applying it on their face for better coverage.

If you are using a powder brush, then the next step is to hold your brush very softly and press it over your whole face and neck, making sure that you cover your whole face. Here you can start from your cheek bones and go up till your hairline. You can also apply it on your neck area to ensure that in natural light, different shades of skin are not visible. Should you be using a powder pad or sponge, then you must lightly dab and press in onto your face. Begin by applying it along the cheek bones and the jaw line. This helps refine and sharpen your facial features.

Lastly, always use little powder at a time, or else you would end up with an unnatural look. Once you’ve applied your powder remember to wash and dry your brush and sponge well before the next use.

How to Apply Loose and Pressed PowderThe following items from our Makeup Kit will be used:

HD Translucent Powder

6 Color Pressed Powder

126 Powder Brush

Tissues


Now let’s start with the practical…

First I will demonstrate how to use the HD Loose Translucent Powder:

Step 1: Take your HD Loose Translucent Powder and dip your 126 Powder Brush into it. Shake off the excess powder by gently dusting the powder brush on the top of your hand. Begin by pressing the powder onto your client’s face, working from her hairline downwards to her jaw line.

Step 2: Wipe your powder brush with a clean tissue to remove any excess powder from it.

Step 3: Finally, take your powder brush and remove any excess powder from your client’s face by brushing over it while making stroking movements.

Now I will demonstrate how to use the 6 Color Pressed Powder:

Step 1: Take your 6 Color Pressed Powder and use your 126 Powder Brush and dip it into the powder.

Step 2: Take your powder brush and begin by pressing the powder onto your client’s face, working from her hairline downwards to her jaw line.

Step 3: Wipe your brush with a clean tissue.



Remember, always use small amounts of powder at a time, or else you would end up getting a caked face or unnatural look. Wash and dry your brush and sponge well before the next use, or else they could attract bacteria.
