What kind of powder for the face we know?

If you decide to buy a new powder for the face, and came to the store, embarrassed by its range – do not worry! You may know some important things about powder, and you will decide easy what you need.

There are several kinds of powder for the face:

1. Loose powder for the face. Typically, such powder is placed a thin layer and does not face “overloaded” tonal means. Apply powder puff or large brush. However, valid only for use at home, as it takes up much space and quite unsuitable for use outside the home environment.

2. Pressed powder. The classic and most popular option. It is compact, has a mirror and s, fits easily into a purse. It is convenient to fix “floated” makeup throughout the day. However, if mismanaged application creates the effect of face masks.

3. Cream powder. It is good because sometimes can  substitute it with fond de teint. Excellent skin mats and hides flaws. You can use it when applying makeup in the morning at home, because to powder the T-zone during the day will be problematic.

4. Transparent powder for the face. For many girls with a healthy (!) Skin translucent powder – an ideal option. Choosing a powder, never go wrong with a shade. It makes the skin velvety soft and absorbs excess oil. But do not mask the shortcomings of the skin (redness, inflammation, pimples), and is not suitable for tanned skin.

5. Powder with the effect of sunburn (terracotta powder, powder-bronzant). An excellent option for sunburned skin. This powder girls are choosing for the summer, because it toned face (after all, a tan from the face is washed away in the first place). However, the effect of tan powder with a saturated color can not be fully applied on the whole face (only on the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose) and can not be used on pale skin.

6. Powder with light reflecting particles (shimmering powder for face). Adds radiance, improves the complexion. It is used for evening make-up since the day this powder would look out of place and will face effects of unnecessary greasy And for evening make-up this powder should be applied carefully – on cheekbones, temples, the decollete.

7. The powder in the balls. It is convenient because you can adjust the hue powder. For example, we remove the light bulbs – we get a darker shade, we remove the dark balls – powder becomes lighter. Most of this powder contains light-reflecting particles, and therefore should be applied only on the cheeks and temples, to avoid unnecessary light. But less of this powder is that it is poorly disguises flaws of the skin, it can not be applied to all face.

8. Antiseptic powder or powder of green color. This powder designed for problem skin, contains anti-inflammatory supplements, masking the shortcomings of the skin. The downside is that the antiseptic powder should be applied every time a new cotton swab (to prevent the spread of bacteria), and the green powder in addition usually requires a flesh-colored powder, as applied only to the red spot.

So, with varieties of powder we’re done. But the question “How do we choose powder” still remains open.
