Question:

Pressed Powder vs. Loose Powder?

Which is the better buy?Which will last longer on the skin?Is it whether its pressed or loose or just the way you apply it that determines how long it will last on your skin?please help(:

Answer:

I've heard that pressed powder has a lot more oil in it than loose powder, but I've never actually used the pressed powder before. I personally like liquid foundation better, but that's just me.
Pressed powder is easier to apply and has less fall out, but loose powder in my opinion just feels better covers more over liquid foundation. The way you apply it doesn't matter as much as how much you apply and what brush you're using. A fine Kabuki brush or powder brush would cover more versus...say a stippling brush. If you want your powder to last longer, try using a base or a face primer before applying the powder.
I've used pressed powder for years, using a big brush, not the one that came with it. It's better for me, I like it. But each person will say liquid is better. It's a matter of pref.
actually both last pretty long when you layer it on top of your liquid foundation. The only difference is that LOOSE POWDER has more fall out. hope that helps:)
