Ways to apply powder foundation

applying makeup

Makeup is an essential part of women’s life. But not every woman is an expert in applying makeup. Many women doubt which foundation to choose and how to use when it comes to laying powder foundations. Powder foundation gives finishing to the makeup.

With proper application, it not only works for oily skin but also for dry skin. There is always a question: Is powder foundation good for dry skin as it leaves parched or dry lines? But if you are using effective hydrating products and power foundation, one can also deal with the dry flakes issues.

Powder foundation type

There are many types of powder foundation such as:

Loose powder- It is light in weight and gives a smooth and silky touch to the makeup. It works best when used with a liquid foundation. Avoid using it when you are in a hurry, and it gets messier when it is not used appropriately.

Pressed powder- it is more like a flat cake. It is also known as compact or compressed powder. For better touch-up, apply pressed powder as it gets full day long without getting messier.

Tinted powder- it comes in matching shade and helps in highlighting the makeup.

Translucent powder- it comes in no color and more like sheer powder.
