December 29, 2008




Makeup powder is one of the most important things when it comes to a durable setting, cosmetic charm and long lasting makeup. When it comes to makeup powder, then there is a whole lot of variety to choose from. It gives a shine free finish, helps the make up to stay in place. Make up powder also provides finishing to the eyes, lips and cheeks. It also provides quick touch up tactic for the skin tone.

Makeup powder is versatile in nature. It is a photographer’s delight as it helps to give a natural and toned up look to the face, whether it is in natural light or artificial light. It highlights the distinctive features of the face and hides the unattractive ones.

Types of makeup powder:-

Loose powder: – it is a light and airy consistency, which is generally preferred by professional makeup artists. This is because it is less likely to leave marks on the skin. Loose powder gives your skin a matt look and a very smooth finish to the face, lasting for longer hours than the pressed powder.

Pressed powder: –
pressed powder is pressurized to create a compact and cake form. Oils are also added up in the powder to ensure that it sticks together on the face for longer. But this product leaves streaks on the face.
