How to choose pressed powder

The choice of powder is determined by personal skin color. Many people always make a mistake when choosing powder. They put the color of the powder on the back of their hand to test the color. Using the back of the hand to test the color cannot actually determine whether it is suitable for our complexion, because the skin on the face and the hands is different. Therefore, you must pay attention when choosing powder and consult professionals for recommendations.

Choose powder according to your skin type

When it comes to the different types of pressed powder, you can’t just choose them randomly. The key is to understand your skin type and choose the right powder to create the ideal makeup effect.

1. If you have dry or sensitive skin, you should choose a wet or dry powder

Analysis:

The characteristics of this type of skin are: the T-zone is not oily, the skin is dry and has slight red blood streaks. The skin tone is yellowish and uneven. If you use ordinary powder, it will easily cause the makeup to not adhere well and form lumps. As for wet and dry dual-purpose powder, it works better when used wet and fits the skin better, while it has stronger covering power when used dry.

Therefore, girls with dry or sensitive skin should choose wet or dry dual-purpose powder, which is easy to apply and smooth. After setting your makeup, spray on a moisturizing spray to enhance skin moisturizing properties.

In addition, it is best to choose a shade that is one shade lighter than your natural color, which will make your skin brighter, more even-toned, and change the overall color of your skin.

Wet use method:

After applying foundation, wet the powder puff first, make it 80% wet, then dip a little powder in it and apply it on the skin using a dot-pressing motion. Start from the T-zone and wipe the entire face from inside to outside. Pay attention to press a few more times on areas with spots and uneven skin tone to cover the spots. Do not apply too much on the lower eyelids and nose wings to avoid a heavy feeling. Finally, use a clean sponge to gently pat your face to blend the foundation with the skin and improve the lasting adhesion of the powder.

After dipping the brush in powder, hold the brush at an angle, remembering not to apply powder on the front of the bristles. The brush should be applied at an angle to make it easier for the powder to adhere to the skin. Start applying powder from the forehead, dip the brush once and brush it back and forth twice. Then brush to the bridge of nose and cheeks. Finally, after brushing the entire face, you can lightly dip a small amount of powder into it again and brush the entire face widely to set the makeup and make the skin delicate and smooth.

Choose powder according to your skin tone

1. Yellowish skin: Soft ivory

The soft ivory color is not too white and can naturally whiten the entire skin tone. It has the effect of adjusting the skin tone and makes the skin naturally white. If you use pure ivory directly, the color contrast on your face will become greater and your skin tone will look unnatural.

2. Fair skin: natural or pink

The natural color can neutralize the fair skin tone, making the skin look healthy and not too pale. Do not choose ivory color because ivory itself is whiter, which will make your skin look pale, like wearing a mask, and increase the color difference with the neck.

3. Dull skin tone: Yellow

Yellow powder is whiter and softer in color. It can brighten dull skin, cover spots and marks, and present a naturally fair complexion. Don’t use natural colors, as they can easily cause makeup to smudge and increase dullness.
