Compact Face Powder

Depending on its composition, texture and purpose, compact face powder can be matting, finishing and fixing, used for mixing, contouring, making the skin look more even, smoothing vellus hair and much more.

Features of compact face powder

The product can be coloured or transparent. The second option is universal for any epidermis tone and type. Like the classic pigmented one, it is used to provide smoothness to the relief, give a natural shine or matte effect, fix the result.

Since the texture of compact face powder is denser than that of the loose one, it is not applied as evenly. However, it hides imperfections well and mattifies the skin. There are also lightweight products designed to simply remove oily shine rather than even out the skin or cover redness. Due to its high fat content, the product is perfect for dry epidermis because the loose one can dry it out even more.

How to choose it

Here are several tips on choosing the composition that is suitable for you:

• If you use foundation daily, then a transparent fixing compact face powder will be enough for you. If you like to refresh your look throughout the day, choose a tint product, which will mask minor imperfections.
• Determine your skin type. If it is dry or dehydrated, make sure the cosmetic does not contain drying ingredients such as quartz or zinc. It should contain oils and vitamins that will not increase dehydration.
• If you need a foundation product, then it is better to choose a slightly lighter colour than a darker one. Remember, under the influence of sebum and heat, powders tend to oxidize and darken. Apply a small amount with your finger to the centre of your forehead. If the shade matches your natural colour, this compact face powder is yours.
• When buying, do not choose cosmetics by hand. Ask a consultant to apply it to the corresponding area and check what will happen in 3-4 hours. A good product should not accentuate the texture of the epidermis and dry it out.

These pieces of advice should help you make a choice.

How to use it

Here are the step-by-step instructions for applying the cosmetic:

• Prepare your skin for applying compact face powder. Use a primer and spread the foundation on top.
• The cosmetic can be applied in various ways depending on the desired result. If your goal is to create a weightless veil that gives a matte finish, take a little amount of the composition onto a fluffy brush and apply it in a thin layer. If you need a thicker finish that will last for a long time, use the stippling technique. Use a sponge or, for example, a kabuki brush to apply it, as if pressing it into the epidermis.
• If you have dehydrated areas, do not apply the composition to them. It is needed only where oily shine appears, and the result needs to be fixed. Avoid applying too much of it to the eye area.
