Tips for applying powder - in the video:

What should you choose?

When choosing powder, you need to look at its texture and release form.

Cream-based powder is chosen by many women, because it has a completely unique texture. It is easy to apply and provides the skin with high-quality hydration. When using it, there is no need to apply foundation. The face darkens, becomes matte and the powder hides all imperfections. The product is also considered economical; the packaging lasts for a year with daily use.

Loose powder is considered the most popular among its analogues. Such products are light, airy and crumbly, quickly applied and even out the skin. Great for oily and problematic skin. However, before applying, you need to use foundation or another base. Loose products perfectly hide even severe imperfections and redness.

Compact powder created specifically for problem skin. It eliminates redness and circles under the eyes, inflammation and pimples. The density of the powder does not allow for easy application, but the face instantly changes when using it. The powder can be used by people with dry skin, and it does not require prior use of cream.

Mineral powder is considered very common, because it contains unique substances. It contains elements that give the skin a glow. The face becomes healthy and radiant, radiant with health.

Any girl sooner or later begins to notice problems on her skin. Naturally, this leads to discomfort. That is why they created a mattifying powder that hides imperfections and makes the face more even and smooth.

For most women, powder serves as an invariable component of everyday makeup, able to even out the complexion and hide skin imperfections. However, the wrong choice will lead to completely the opposite effect - it will highlight the slightest flaws, so you should take the purchase of powder seriously.

Criteria for choosing a good powder

1. Powder texture can be liquid, powder, compressed or ball-shaped. Compact powder is denser, so its mattifying and concealing effect is ideal for oily skin types. The crumbly version is most often light and transparent; it serves only to fix makeup.
2. Hue The amount of powder you use will depend primarily on your complexion. For this reason, most manufacturers have several tones in their range. You can find out how well the chosen shade suits your skin by checking the back of your hand.
3. Shimmering particles (shimmers), which give the skin a subtle glow, are present mainly in roll-on and loose powder.

Which powder is better to avoid?

Of course, when choosing powder, the individual characteristics of your facial skin play a major role. However, some nuances should be taken into account so that the new acquisition does not turn out to be a disappointment.

1. You should not buy powder that perfectly matches your skin tone; it is better to buy a tone lighter. Remember that powder usually makes your natural complexion a little darker.
2. When choosing “loose powder”, avoid powder that does not have a strainer in the block. Otherwise, it will be difficult to apply it on the face in an even, light layer, and there is a high probability of accidentally spilling the contents.
3. If you prefer compact powder, you should not take those types that do not have a mirror. Of course, this is not an essential criterion, but compact powder is a mobile option, and a mirror is a must.
4. Don’t buy powder with a short expiration date, otherwise you simply won’t have time to use it up.

Is it possible to get a quality product without paying half your salary for it? The editors of LADY.TUT.BY are sure that it is possible! We have already written about budget analogues of luxury foundations and even found it for you inexpensive concealers . Today we’ll talk about an equally important product for creating the perfect tone - powder and how to save money on it.

The most popular powder among both makeup artists and ordinary users is finishing powder. Its task is to fix your makeup and prevent cream products from sinking into wrinkles. Such powders, as a rule, have no color, but may contain reflective particles.

One of the most famous finishing powders is Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder from the professional brand Make Up For Ever. It not only sets the foundation, but also mattifies well and smoothes out the texture. Your face feels like silk! True, even such a wonderful powder has a drawback, and it is quite obvious: $36 for 8.5 grams of product.

But about the same volume of HD Powder loose powder from E.L.F. Cosmetics on the well-known “organic” site will cost you only... $6! And, what’s especially nice, the budget copy is no worse: it has the same fine grinding, matte finish and lack of color. And the minimal differences are hardly worth paying - just think about it - six times more.

Another highly praised finishing powder is LAURA MERCIER's Translucent Loose Setting Powder. For $38 you get a hefty jar (29 grams) that at first glance is colored, but in fact is still transparent powder with two effects at once: matting and defocus. It removes unnecessary shine, but at the same time leaves the finish “alive” due to reflective particles.

Considering the volume of the product, its price is not nearly as high as it might seem at first glance. But why pay more if there is a more affordable alternative? And not only in terms of cost: Translucent Loose Powder from Mary Kay, unlike its low-budget colleague, can be bought in Belarus! And for a very modest $12. But its properties are absolutely the same: it mattifies and shines at the same time, and even fixes your makeup for the whole working day.

For lovers of compact and multifunctional products, we are ready to recommend Mineralize skinfinish natural powder from the MAC brand without a twinge of conscience. Actually, this is also a finishing powder - only colored and in a “bag” format, but it can also be used as an independent product. You shouldn’t expect a total disguise of imperfections, but this powder can even out the tone of the face and give the skin the now fashionable glow effect, 10 out of 10.

If $34 (excluding delivery, because MAC has not yet arrived on the Belarusian market) is an unacceptable amount for you, no problem! We found an almost complete analogue of the legendary powder: a recent new product from NYX - #NOFILTER Finishing powder. One of the differences is a coarser grind: when used as a tone, NYX powder can be applied more densely. And the price is two times lower than MAC.

Looking for something with high coverage? Try Clarins Skin Illusion Mineral Powder Foundation. Here you have a beautiful packaging with a brush included, and a natural finish with full coverage. The powder is excellent (we tried it on ourselves!), but not ideal: it is not suitable for very fair-skinned people - it can oxidize and is unlikely to appeal to girls with oily skin, because it does not mattify.

But Luminys Silky Baked Face Powder from Pupa does not darken the face, although there are still no truly light shades in the line. Otherwise, Pupa baked powder is a complete analogue of the Clarins bestseller: it hides imperfections, leaves the skin radiant and, when used correctly, does not create a mask effect. If there is no difference, why pay $50 instead of $28?

The final pair in today’s selection is for those who are not allowed to sleep peacefully by the currently fashionable “baking” technique. In case you don't know, baking is a way of setting makeup using a thick layer of loose powder. It is not suitable for every day: it is too heavy and noticeable on the skin. But for photo or video shooting, as well as some important events where you need to look perfect, backing is simply irreplaceable.

Makeup artists love to use Ben Nye Luxury Powder in the shade Banana for such purposes. Compared to other powders on our list, it can hardly be called expensive: the largest package of 85 grams can be ordered for $23, excluding delivery costs.

But if your soul asks for cheaper baking, here you go: Makeup Revolution Luxury Banana Baking Powder! The price for 42 grams is from $8, the pleasure of use is priceless.
