Navel powder for oily skin

Almost every woman's facial skin is imperfect. Freckles, red blood vessels, spots, and even a pimple popped up at the most inopportune time in the most visible place. One girl is too pale, the other doesn’t like bright blush. Yes, almost everyone is not satisfied with something in their appearance. Each representative of the fair sex solves these problems at her own discretion. But there are still general trends in both protecting facial skin and masking minor defects.

Care products for problem skin

They depend on the woman’s age and skin type (oily, dry, combination).

Perhaps, oily skin creates more problems for its owner than dry skin. She needs constant special care. You should only use products designed for this type of skin. They are labeled noncomedogenic. Such cosmetics prevent the formation of blackheads. Products labeled for acne-prone skin are suitable for skin that frequently develops acne.

You should not use blush; you can use dry shadows instead. It is better to choose loose powder. You can use correction pencils.

Particular attention should be paid to pharmacy brands, that is, those sold in pharmacy chains. They contain substances that dry out the skin.

It is advisable to use products from the same manufacturer. After all, they are designed so that the elements of one complement the substances found in the others. You definitely need to take into account your feelings and watch how your skin reacts to the product.

Cosmetics company "Pupa"

The Italian company was created in the 70s of the last century.

Pupa cosmetics were initially intended for teenagers. Now the products of this brand are sold in many countries around the world. These are the USA, Western Europe, Japan, Eastern countries, South Africa. It differs not only in quality, but also in design. Pupa cosmetics works in the modern and classic directions. Leading professionals, including the company’s founder, Mr. Gatta, are involved in the development of new products.

They produce decorative cosmetics such as lip gloss, pencil, lipstick, blush, powder, eye shadow, eyeliner, and cosmetic makeup kit.

Foundation and powder

What they have in common is that both types of cosmetics hide skin imperfections. Both of them serve as a base for makeup. After applying foundation, the face is set with powder. It removes excess shine from the skin. This complex is used for evening makeup. If the skin is clean enough, you can apply one thing during the day. Another difference: the foundation matches the color of your skin. Face powder should be a shade lighter.

Apply foundation, like powder, to skin treated with day cream. It is absorbed for about 15 minutes. Remains of the cream, if necessary, are removed with a paper napkin. You need to be careful when applying foundation. If you apply too much of it, the result will be the opposite of what is desired. Wrinkles and other skin imperfections will become noticeable. After applying the foundation, the face is powdered.

Pupa powder

Helps quickly even out skin tone. It can be crumbly and compact. The latter, in turn, has many varieties, among which are:

1. mattifying (gives the skin a matte tint, removes excess shine);
2. bronzing (creates the impression of tanned skin);
3. antibacterial (medicinal);
4. baked.

Pupa powder set

1. Powder of one shade.
2. Set of two colors.
3. A set of blush, two shades of powder, and an illuminator that emphasizes the light points on the face.
4. Four colors in one box (powder-blush).

Compact face powder has a dense texture and is more stable than loose powder. It’s easier to carry it in your purse, periodically looking into the mirror on the lid and correcting your makeup. Apply it using a puff, sponge or brush.

Baked powder

Among these types, baked appeared relatively recently.

It is created using special technologies. When baking powder, moisture and moisturizing substances are retained inside it.

The texture is very fine. This makes it possible to apply the powder in a very thin layer.

In appearance in the box, it differs in that it has a non-uniform color.

Benefits of Baked Powder

1. Light texture makes the powder invisible on the face.
2. Hides imperfections.
3. Gives the face a healthy look.

The box contains 9 grams of powder. Available in shades 01, 04, 05, 06. The first two are light. Number five is suitable for summer. The last one is the darkest. They are all very durable. Baked powder “Pupa” gives everyone the opportunity to find the right tone. Customer reviews note that the first is slightly more yellow than the fourth. This suits many women who have been looking for just this for a long time.

Apply powder to foundation. But you can not use it, but limit yourself to daytime face cream. And here an unpleasant surprise awaits us. Not everyone is able to find the right cream to which baked “Pupa” powder reacts well. Reviews from some customers note that only one cream was suitable: Natura Siberica for oily skin with Japanese Sophora. More experienced users have determined that the face is moisturized with a light water-based cream before applying powder. They emphasize that this cream must be applied first and be well absorbed into the skin. Otherwise, the powder will be applied unevenly. If the cream is selected successfully, then small peelings on the face are not visible. Large ones, unfortunately, are noticeable.

Baked “Pupa” powder is applied to the face using a dry or wet applicator. Reviews from some customers indicate that it is best applied with a fluffy sponge, which is in a box with powder. The box itself is very beautiful, similar to a shell. It is quite voluminous. The refill with powder is recessed into the bottom of the box. This is convenient because when using a brush the powder generates dust.

Compound

Baked Pupa powder has the following composition:

The powder dries out oily skin a little.

Due to the fine grinding, the baked “Pupa” powder is almost invisible on the face. Reviews say that different colors have different effects. Women note that they are not even matte, but have a satin shine. At the same time, all are distinguished by ideal durability.

Masks defects as it has good pigmentation. The powder itself is not uniform in color. And when applied, the particles mix, resulting in a vibrant, not flat complexion.

Reviews

Many users have a positive attitude towards the Pupa brand, whose cosmetics meet their requirements. This applies, in particular, to the baked powder of this company. It is believed that it is the best powder available at a price. Lasts a long time, does not roll into lumps. Apply dry during the day, wet in the evening. Not only hides freckles or small spots, but also disguises dark circles under the eyes.

Users report interesting details:

1. After applying the powder to your face, it looks like flour, and the imperfections do not disappear. But after a few minutes it is absorbed, changes its structure, and becomes invisible. Disadvantages are hidden from prying eyes.
2. The matte skin effect is observed for about an hour. Then a light satin shine appears. After a couple of hours (in summer) you need to touch up your makeup. In winter, this can be done in half a day.

They note the cost-effectiveness of “Pupa” powder. For some, one box is enough for 8 months of daily use. For others, it only lasts for 2 months. Some people think that baked powder is more of a winter option. For the summer it is better to take crumbly silk.

Buyers who have been using only Pupa powder for many years sometimes, for some reason, switch to products from other manufacturers. As a result, they realize that they did it in vain. After all, when using Pupa powder, they have amazing velvety skin with a barely noticeable glow. The powder does not clog pores. The complexion becomes fresh.

Baked Pupa powder is not suitable for everyone. Cosmetics are an individual matter. Some people feel it on their face, like a mask. For others, pores appeared after application.

Some consumers believe that baked Pupa powder makes them look significantly older. Wrinkles appear that they had not noticed before. Perhaps this happened because they did not take into account the application technology described above.

Baked powder "Luminus"

One of the "Pupa" cosmetics products. Contains jojoba oil, which moisturizes the skin and helps protect against atmospheric factors. The skin becomes smooth, matte, and has a natural appearance. Luminus powder has four colors, which allows you to choose the most suitable one. Does not cause allergies.

Many consumers with dry skin, who usually find it very difficult to find the right facial protection product, say that this product worked for them. Four-color sets are also used as blush. After all, they are easy to shade and can be mixed to create the desired effect.

It is interesting that some girls with dry skin apply Pupa Luminus powder to their face without first lubricating it with a nourishing cream. And the skin does not tighten, no feeling of a mask, no peeling was noticed. As you can see, there is no strict algorithm for using Pupa powder. There are general recommendations, each consumer shares her experience, and others can choose to try something of their own.

Girls usually love cosmetics that contain a lot of glitter. Shades 05 and 06 of Luminus powder are suitable for them. It is dense, masks imperfections well, and improves complexion. At the same time, it is relatively inexpensive, like all Pupa powders. Price: $15.00.

Buyers like the pleasant smell, noticeable but not intrusive, the light texture of the powder - matte, silky, cool (this is tone 04). It does not clog pores, which has a positive effect on the condition of the skin when fighting acne. Does not create a mask effect. Gives the skin a healthy and fresh look all day long.

There are also many enthusiastic reviews from fans of the baked powder “Pupa” who have combination skin. They note that the powder applies smoothly, the skin looks healthy, and the color is natural.

Some customers indicate that they no longer need to apply foundation. Baked powder "Pupa" does an excellent job of protecting skin without it. It evens out imperfections and hides them.

Many customers with oily skin notice that immediately after using Luminus powder, the oily sheen disappears.

Everyone is very pleased that the powder does not leave marks on clothes. Most people like the stylish design of the compact.

Some buyers who did not like the results of using Pupa powder throw it away and buy another one. But many do not do this and continue to understand the reasons for failure. They approach the analysis of the properties of powder thoroughly. Apply it with a sponge and a brush alternately, try various creams (foundation, nourishing). It happens that the powder covers up defects well, but you can already see the powder itself. The skin, already oily, begins to shine even more. Peeling becomes even more noticeable.

After suffering a little, persistent customers usually achieve the desired result. The layer of powder turns out to be thinner, it is invisible on the face. It gives off a pleasant glow instead of the annoying shine.

An interesting approach: apply powder only to certain areas of the face, such as the cheeks. What’s especially convenient is that you can touch up your makeup at any moment with the brush included in the makeup kit.

Powder "Silk Tech" (silk touch)

Loose powder. Well suited for combination skin prone to oily skin. Apply powder with a brush. Mattifies very well and smells nice. Not everyone likes the packaging, as the lid gets scratched quickly.

Pros and cons

Positive feedback: you don’t need foundation when using it. Hides imperfections well. Mattifies (removes shine) for the whole day.

Some buyers believe that there are such disadvantages:

1. The powder is very noticeable on the face.
2. It really emphasizes the pores, making them “crater-shaped”.
3. Emphasizes wrinkles.
4. Large sparkles, which are found in some shades of powder (for example, number 05), it directly shimmers on the face.
5. If rain gets on your face, streaks appear.

Where can you buy high-quality cosmetics such as Pupa powder? Letual is a good example of a store where you can make such a purchase without fear of running into a fake.

How to choose a powder tone?

If you are going to a party or a date, you can use shimmering elements. Daily makeup is best done in natural colors.

As can be seen from the reviews, this is a high-quality powder that deserves the attention of women.

Baked cosmetic products are made in a special oven. Temperature effects improve the characteristics of powders, blushes, bronzers and shadows. The most famous manufacturer of such cosmetics is the Pupa brand. Its products received hundreds of positive reviews, and counterfeits began to appear on the shelves.

In order not to be disappointed with your purchase, you should choose the right baked cosmetics. Baked products are made using a special technology. The cosmetic mixture is baked at a temperature of 40 °C in special industrial ovens.

As a result, the texture of powder, blush or eye shadow becomes more airy and “silky”, cosmetics are better applied, retain rich pigmentation and acquire a delicate glow.

Baked cosmetics are easy to shade and do not fall off, and due to their high pigmentation they are used more economically. The reflective effect that appears as a result of baking differs from the usual shine of sequins and glitter.

Benefits of Navel Powder

Pupa is an Italian brand of decorative cosmetics that appeared on the Russian market more than 20 years ago. The company was founded 45 years ago and has since established itself throughout the world as a manufacturer of safe and high-quality products.

Pupa Powder has several differences from competitors in its price category:

1. One of the official target audiences for cosmetics: teenage girls. The company makes sure that the composition of the powder does not harm young, delicate skin and does not cause rashes.
2. The brand's products are hypoallergenic
3. The company refused to test products on animals.
4. The powder is suitable for any skin type: normal, dry or oily.
5. Economical consumption.
6. Does not oxidize over time. When oxidized, the powder may become darker or redder.
7. Natural, natural finish.

Pupa Luminys baked face powder is the brand's best-selling product.

Flaws

The main disadvantage of Pupa powder is its relatively high cost for the mass market segment. Without discounts, a package of powder will cost at least 900 rubles. Baked Navel powder, reviews of which are mostly positive, may not cope with masking inflammation in the acute stage of acne. In this case, it is necessary to additionally use concealer.

Powder composition

The powder is made on the basis of talc, dimethicone (a type of silicone) and mineral oil. In some cases, they can clog the pores of oily skin, but most compact and loose face products contain these ingredients.

The composition is enriched with jojoba oil. For a natural glow effect, finely ground pearlescent pigments that reflect light are added to the powder.

How to spot a fake

Pupa brand baked products are often counterfeited. This is especially true for compact powders and bronzers. In many reviews, the reason for dissatisfaction with Pupa powder was the purchase of a fake.

How to distinguish branded cosmetics from illegal goods:

In a store, powder can be visually distinguished by the quality of the packaging - a fake has an uneven font, there is no embossing, no bulges, and the inscriptions are unevenly applied. The powder compact of such a product is made of low-quality plastic: it may have a blue or yellow tint and be opaque. The seams are rough and unfinished.

Types of Navel powder

This manufacturer's powder comes in 3 types.

Pupa Luminys baked face powder

A universal compact powder, suitable for both solo use and for fixing foundation. It has a light texture, but due to its high pigment content it masks skin imperfections. Has a silk finish. Reflective particles give the skin a fresh and radiant look, and also visually smooth out fine wrinkles.

How to apply Navel powder

Compact baked powder should be applied with a brush. Due to its light texture, the product will not pick up easily onto the sponge. Before use, you should moisturize your skin so that the powder does not accentuate flaking and dryness.

The manufacturer recommends using a natural powder brush.

With its help, the product is applied to the center of the face and then shaded towards the edges. The use of a sponge is acceptable when correcting makeup during the day. You need to blot your face with a mattifying napkin to remove excess oil, and then, taking a thin layer of powder onto a sponge, apply it to the skin with patting movements.

Powder selection criteria

When choosing baked powder, you must follow the algorithm:

1. Determine your needs: compact powder to even out your complexion, setting powder to set foundation, bronzing powder or highlighting powder.
2. Next, determine your skin type. Dry, normal or oily.
3. Having identified the necessary characteristics, you should choose the shade of the powder. To do this, you can apply a small strip along the jaw line. The shade should match the skin color of the face and neck. It is advisable to evaluate the shade both in artificial lighting of the store and in street daylight.

Important:

Powders with a large number of shining particles (bronzers and highlighters) emphasize the size of pores. Mattifying powders can highlight the texture of dry skin. Loose powder is only suitable for home use. To correct makeup you will need compact powder from the same line.

Loose powder or light veil powder is suitable for fixing foundation. A dense masking product will form a “mask” and will be noticeable on the face.

Where to buy, cost of baked Pupa powder

Compound

An important distinguishing feature of Italian powders is their special composition. Pay attention to baked products. They are made using a special technology that effectively retains moisture and maximizes color effects. Hypoallergenic powder necessarily contains factor 15 SP, an excellent “barrier” against UV radiation.

When developing Pupa powder, they experimented and tested the product for a long time, ultimately creating the ideal beauty formula.

The drug contains talc as the main component. Zinc oxide will protect you from cold and hot weather, direct sunlight, and titanium dioxide will perfectly retain moisture in the cells of the dermis. Both ingredients have an antiseptic effect and can mask any unevenness and roughness of the skin.

Light shine is produced by boron nitrite, and the color of the powder is influenced by iron oxide. It is also responsible for the saturation and brightness of a particular shade. When you feel that when applying the product your face is like silk, and the softness literally shocks you, at this time a component such as aluminum silicate is activated. Aloe vera controls the epidermis itself and the degree of its hydration.

Pupa powders also contain a sufficient percentage of substances that maintain a long shelf life of the product and prevent the creation of an organic environment for the proliferation of microbes and bacteria.

Shades

Each series of Italian powders has its own gradation of shades. For example, in the baked line you can find products designated 01, 04, 05, 06. As in any other series, shades are identified by numbers.

Almost transparent powder, the lightest palette is numbered 01, 02. The higher, the darker the colors you will find. Starting from number 05, optimal tones are selected for the summer period, when you want to emphasize your dark, tanned skin.

How to use it correctly

Experienced cosmetologists advise choosing matte, radiant, compact or baked powder for a specific type of dermis. For oily skin, it is necessary to apply the loose product together with the foundation.

High-quality Pupa powder will not clog pores, but will “suspend” the process of the sebaceous glands. Also, matte, baked facial cosmetics successfully mask oily shine, but at the same time allow the dermis to “breathe.” But for dry skin, a radiant, brightening powder with a shiny effect will be a successful experiment. Overdried epidermis often flakes off and exhibits inflammatory processes. And such products perfectly transform any appearance.

Review

The Italian brand is so famous all over the world, has a high reputation and prestige that it is simply impossible to give the nomination “the best powder in the company.” Each product is intended for specific purposes and has its own advantages, effects and properties.

The manufacturer inserted the word “luminis” into the product name for a reason. This parameter is responsible for the most delicate glow of the skin, as if from the inside. Luminys Baked Face Powder contains light-reflecting, finely dispersed minerals. It is very reminiscent of a biscuit due to the two-tone pattern. The moist texture of the cosmetics ensures a beautiful shade on the skin and its evenness. You can choose one of four palettes (natural beige, soft pink, light and dark beige).

Another beautiful silver packaging features Pupa's Extreme Matt. Compact, it will help you achieve the effect of well-groomed skin. Today this product is the best for make-up. With the help of a sponge and a few movements, you can perfectly hide minor irregularities and imperfections in the dermis.

There is a special anti-shine complex here. There is no longer a need to renew the layer of powder every hour and create a “plastered” effect. Extreme Matt Powder Foundation provides excellent UV protection (SPF20). The low-allergenic product (porcelain) does not produce any perfume fragrance. There are only natural pigments and minerals here that prevent redness.

Like a Doll speaks for itself. Stylish baked powder can be with glitter or matte texture. The powder gives a stunning naked skin effect and is suitable for any skin type. Silk powder Silk Touch Compact Powder, Mineral Silk Powder, Mineral Foundation Powder looks great on the face. After such cosmetics you look well-groomed, refreshed, renewed.

Don't have time to visit resorts? Use Desert Bronzing Powder for a radiant effect. For a fatal look, purchase compact models Pupa Diva’s Kit, Red Queen Golden Powder. Baked powder Luminys Baked All Over is practically not felt on the face, it has a magical, textured effect. You gain natural beauty with just a few strokes of the sponge.

All Pupa products are dermatologically tested, so you can be confident in their quality and safety.

How to distinguish the original

The first thing that should catch your eye is the price tag. Pupa powder is quite expensive, so don’t skimp on fakes. You should also look at the expiration date so you don't accidentally stumble upon an expired or cheap illegal product.

To avoid buying regular powder instead of luminescent powder, pay attention to the certification, product code and composition. In the original products of any brand, talc always comes first, followed by significant components in descending order.

Reviews

Often in reviews, satisfied customers note that when using a 9-gram product, the powder in it does not seem to decrease. This is a very good property of baked powder, which lasts for a long period. Many people like its neutral scent. Users note that it is not felt at all on the skin.

Also, many are delighted with the heterogeneous structure of the powder. Created using special technology, they qualitatively even out the tone of the face, add freshness and make facial features expressive. Shine, hide any imperfections, “fix” your incomparable make-up. In the end, a woman should show off her natural beauty, not bright plaster. Pupa brand cosmetics add naturalness.

Compact, radiant, brightening, matte and many other series of powders are liked by most girls. They tirelessly share their impressions online, recommend which stores are best to buy the original, where there is a chance of stumbling upon a fake, what skin type is suitable for a certain tone and texture of the product, etc. All Pupa decorative cosmetics do not heal. But no one has canceled the “in-your-face” effect. Even without visiting a cosmetologist’s office, you can get rid of minor defects in the dermis with a few movements of a brush or sponge.

According to reviews, it is impossible to mask large problems, such as furunculosis, psoriasis, with the help of even the most effective powder, but freckles, pigment spots, and acne can be hidden. The manufacturer does not claim to be the best care products, but the fact that its products make the epidermis less oily and removes unhealthy shine is certain.

By purchasing Like a Doll, Extreme Matt, Luminys Baked Face Powder products, you create optimal moisturizing conditions for your skin. In the hot summer, with powder from Pupa it is impossible to dry out the skin even more, clog pores and take away the ability of the dermis to “breathe”. Don't hide your beauty under a layer of low-quality, cheap decorative cosmetics. Trust the experience and environmental friendliness of Italian beauty masters.
