Three tips for buying powder
It’s up to you whether you want a powder that’s transparent, or whether you want one that matches your skin tone. A transparent one has the advantage of always being in season, while you may need to alternate between differently coloured powders during winter and summer, depending on how much colour you get from the sun.
Even when it comes to the type of powder: loose or firm, it’s often a matter of taste and a question of what you feel comfortable using.
-
Loose powder comes in a jar and is, as the name indicates, loose. In other words, it’s not packed into a cake-like texture, but is instead more like opening a jar of flour. The powder is applied using a powder brush or the puff that is sometimes included. The advantage is that the result is sheer and natural, but the disadvantage is that there can be some dusty spillage.
-
Compact powder comes packed as a cake in a small jar. Even this is best applied with a powder brush or the puff provided. The advantage of a solid powder is that there is minimal waste. The disadvantage is that it is easier to get a slightly cakey effect, especially if you use it with the sponge that accompanies it.
There are many different kinds of powders to choose from, and so you need to think about what you want from a powder. Most products have English names, and below are some keywords in English to keep track of when buying powder.
-
Fix your makeup and make it last longer? Go for a powder with the words “finishing” or “setting” in its name.
-
Want to make your face less shiny? Look for a powder with the words “oil-control”, “blotting” or “anti-shine” in its name. But beware: if you have dry skin, this type of powder will probably not feel very comfortable on your skin.
-
Want to revive dull skin? Look for powders that contain words like “luminizing”, “glow” and “brightening”.
Do you usually apply powder with a big, fluffy brush perhaps this guide from Allure may introduce a new routine for you; using a smaller brush for powder to keep skin dewy but not shiny.
