Powder – finishing touch with light coverage
Not all powders are the same: loose or pressed, mattifying or with a glow, in the right skin tone or transparent. A face powder can be a game changer for a wide variety of looks. It gives full-face makeup longer-lasting wear, and those who skip foundation in their everyday routine gain light coverage and a naturally balanced complexion. In addition to durability and coverage, face powder can also create a soft-focus effect or cover the skin with a glow that makes it look fresh and radiant.
Face powder: Coverage, setting, and glow
When you think of powder, you probably first think of its mattifying or light covering effects: A touch of powder on the T-zone to prevent unwanted shine, or a layer of lightly covering powder on foundation-free days to visually even out the complexion. However, modern face powders can also enhance the entire makeup look. Some formulations contain finely ground mineral pigments that reflect the light that falls on the skin. This makes them act like an optical filter: the entire makeup looks more even, pores are less visible, and the skin appears fresher and plumper. Added to this is the benefit of longer-lasting makeup underneath.
If you want particularly high coverage but don’t want to use a liquid foundation, pressed compact powder is the perfect companion.
Loose powders are particularly suitable for setting or for the baking technique. This involves leaving the face powder on the relevant areas of the face for a little longer. This allows the powder and cream products to blend together. After a while, the excess powder is swept away with a brush. What remains is an even and long-lasting, optimized complexion. This method is popular for setting concealer under the eyes, for example.
An overview of different powder types:
- Pressed powder: A classic pressed powder is the perfect companion for on the go. It instantly removes excess shine and refreshes the complexion.
- Loose powder: Loose powder is particularly suitable for setting makeup. Its finely ground formula blends well with creamy textures and prolongs their hold. Finishing powders also often come in loose form.
- Transparent powder: Powder without additional color pigments settles invisibly on the skin and sets makeup without affecting the color of the products underneath.
- Compact powder: Practical and easy to use, compact powder can replace a lighter foundation and is the perfect companion for refreshing your makeup on the go.
- Mineral powder: With natural pigments, mineral powder visually perfects the complexion. The perfect match for sensitive skin or beauty enthusiasts who value natural ingredients.
- Powder with moisturizing ingredients: Some powders contain moisturizing or nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or squalane. They are designed to look less dry on the skin than classic formulations and provide additional moisture to the skin.
