Difference between Compact and Loose powder

The main difference between loose and pressed powders is the way the product is packaged. Pressed powders are pressed into a compact, loose powders are often packaged in jars or tubs. So which one is best for you? Let’s see Compact Powder Vs Loose Powder

To begin with, let me tell you, Pressed And Loose Powder are sisters, not a twin.

Coverage

Loose powders are a great option if you’re looking to achieve a luminous, even finish, and their silkier texture means they often work better as setting powders to finish a look. The coverage provided by loose powders is light, and you are more likely to find mineral makeup in a loose powder rather than pressed.

Skin Type

Loose powders are more finely milled so they contain fewer oils, and are typically used on oily skin types to control the oil your face develops throughout the day.

How To Apply Face Loose Powder Vs Compact Powder given below

Shake some product on to the lid of your loose powder.
A large powder brush or powder puff is the simplest tool to use.
Dip brush or puff into product and tap gently in order that the powder settles in.
Start applying the powder within the center of your face, then sweep the remainder over your face.
Buff the Product in, using any excess product within the brush for the sides of your face.
If the foundation is pressed, sweep a makeup sponge across it. You can also swirl a powder brush across it.
If the foundation is loose, lightly dip the brush into the powder.
Gently tap the handle against the counter to shake away extra powder.
Do not use the makeup sponge to apply loose powder.

Pressed Powder

COVERAGE

A pressed powder is ideal for a gal on the go or someone who wants a bit more precision and a wider shade range. Pressed powder foundations provide more exact coverage and are easier to apply if you’re new to powder.

SKIN TYPE

Most dry skin types prefer to use pressed powder over loose powder because pressed powders have more oils in them and can look “cakey” when applied on very oily skin types.
