Question:

Loose and pressed powder?

What exactly is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder? And people say that it's better to use a 'loose powder' for a tinted moisturizer, why?Thanks!

Answer:

Pressed powder contains more oil which hold it together so, if you tend to get breakouts, I would stick with the loose.
loose powder benefits ur skin more, pressed powder doesnt apply as well as loose
Pressed has normally oils and waxes and chemical binders to hold the power together if too much is used it can cause issues and loose power doesnt tho the fall out on your face can be a issue but depends on you
Loose powder is basically powder that comes in a jar, that you can shake out onto a brush. Pressed powder is powder that is in a compact, usually they come with a mirror and a little powder puff to apply it. You can use either one, it really doesn`t matter. It`s a personal preference. I like pressed powder myself because it`s easier to use and you don`t have to worry about powder flying all over the place, LOL! If you get the pressed powder, go with: Maybelline Dream Matte powder because it makes the skin look airbrushed and flawless. Hands down, BEST pressed powder in the drugstore. If you get Mineral Loose Powder, go with Physcians Formula Mineral Wear Talc Free Powder because it`s great for sensitive skin and comes with a little brush. Hope I helped!!
