Which is better, E cake or Givenchy loose powder? Which is better, E cake or nars honey powder?

The so-called E-powder, Givenchy loose powder, and NARS honeyed powder are all relatively famous. So which powder is better to use in comparison?

As for the color number, I don’t like setting powder with too many colors, fearing that it will affect the base makeup I have worked so hard to choose, so I chose color 1, which is transparent. For the four-square loose powder, I had been struggling between color 1 and color 2, and then I simply went to the counter to try them out. I found that there was almost no difference between the two colors on my face with the naked eye. In addition, I don’t like too white colors, which will look fake, so I finally decided to choose natural color 2.

After applying makeup, you can't see much difference between the two, both of them have a matte finish. However, the color of e-powder 1 is brighter than that of Givenchy 2. When you use e-powder to set your makeup, you will feel that your makeup becomes particularly clean and transparent, and it looks more light and transparent than Givenchy.

In terms of concealing power, you can't actually make this claim for loose powder and pressed powder, but for a fair evaluation, we still made a simple comparison. The No. 2 color of the 4-grid loose powder has a little bit of color, so the concealing power is a little higher than that of the e-powder, but it's not very obvious and basically can't be seen.

In terms of texture, the powder of these two products is very fine, and it does not dry, sticky or flaky. Especially when the skin is a little oily, there will be a soft focus feeling. In this respect, the two products are really indistinguishable.

In terms of durability, the e-pancake has a stronger ability to set makeup and lasts longer than Givenchy. The following picture shows the actual test of these two products with makeup for 6 hours. You can see that after 6 hours, the e-pancake still maintains a good makeup look, while Givenchy's four-square grid has a slight powder stuck on the nasolabial folds after about 3 hours, and the powder sticking is very obvious after about 6 hours.

In terms of oil control, the e-cake is slightly better. The e-cake is very moisturizing while controlling oil, and will not cause powder sticking, which is more suitable for combination to dry skin. And it is also very good at touch-up, and the residual makeup can be turned into new makeup in seconds!

All in all, these two products are excellent in terms of appearance, fineness of powder, durability, etc. If your budget is limited, Givenchy Four Squares Loose Powder can definitely meet your requirements; if your budget is sufficient, then feel free to choose Elegance E Loose Powder, it will definitely surprise you and make you want to leave~~

1. First of all, let me talk about e cake. I have neutral skin, which is a little oily. I like the white and matte makeup effect. I have always bought color No. 1. It instantly smoothes the skin after applying it. It is really like turning on the beauty filter. It covers the pores and makes your skin as delicate as a baby's. It becomes matte in one second. I have been looking for a setting powder like this because I don't like having even a little oil on my face. After applying this, my face is instantly matte. After applying it at 8 o'clock in the morning, my cheeks will slowly become oily starting at noon. Don't be afraid. This oiliness combined with e cake will give you a watery feeling, not oily. It's like good natural skin, with a watery and tender feeling, not the greasy feeling of an oily face. The makeup effect is as good as in the morning, not dull, and until the evening, it's like I just put on makeup in the morning. I don't have the habit of touching up my makeup. If you like to touch up your makeup, you can do it in the middle of the process for better results. I think the built-in powder puff is very good.

2. NARS loose powder is the loose powder I have been buying before, and I have used three pieces. This loose powder must be used with the large powder puff of CPB. This large powder puff is about 90, but it is super durable. The powder puff that comes with NARS loose powder feels almost like a piece of paper, and it is really unusable. It can only be used with the large powder puff of CPB. This loose powder will soon become iron-coated. After the iron-coated, it can be used for a super long time, but the powder will not be so evenly applied, and it will be a little difficult to put on makeup. However, after applying it multiple times, it will achieve a good setting effect. I can really use this loose powder for a year. After the iron-coated, I feel that it is particularly durable. After applying it, it is exactly the same as not applying anything. It will not change your base makeup at all. It is transparent, without a trace of matte makeup. The fine shimmer in the loose powder will make the face shiny when applied.

Summarize:

1. To test the makeup feeling and durability, I applied e-powder on my left face and nars powder on my right face. When I first applied the makeup, the e-powder side was like a matte baby skin, smooth, fluffy, and slightly white. After applying the nars side, there was no change. My skin was oily (because I have neutral to oily skin). The fine shimmer in the powder will make your face a little brighter than before, just a little bit. In the afternoon, when the e-powder side began to be shiny, the makeup effect was basically the same as that of the nars side, and the nars maintained very well. The whole day was the same as when I first applied it in the morning, with almost no change. This is why everyone says that the nars setting effect is good. The setting effect can indeed last for a day, and of course the e-powder setting effect can also last for a whole day.

2. If you like matte, invisible pores, instant skin smoothing, and good makeup setting effect, choose e-powder. If you like natural makeup, want your face to be shiny, and look bright and glowing, and if you have a dry face but want to set your makeup, choose nars honey powder.

3. For people like me who like matte makeup effect, I will repurchase E-Powder No. 1 again and again. If you have dry skin and like your skin to be shiny, you can choose NARS loose powder or E-Powder No. 4.

1. Texture

The E pancake's pressing plate is really solid, so it is very durable. The powder is super fine, and it is available with or without glitter depending on the color. It is very light on the face and will not get stuck even if you have dry skin. The super fine powder will not make you look fake even when you touch up your makeup.

2. Oil control ability

This Elegance Ultimate Joy Face Pressed Powder has outstanding oil control and makeup setting capabilities, and is definitely the first choice for oily skin in summer. It has a very nice matte soft focus effect on the face, and it instantly smoothes the skin, just like turning on a filter. Even the T-zone, which is very prone to oiliness, will be wiped away with this powder. It is not easy to get oily all day long.

3. Durability

After applying foundation, it is recommended to use a brush or powder puff with strong powder-grabbing ability to apply this powder. It can keep the foundation firm for more than ten hours without any movement. Say goodbye to summer makeup removal and patchy appearance. It can also keep the foundation long-lasting and not dull. The portable package is also super convenient for touching up makeup when going out.

4. Summary

In general, this is a powder with super oil control ability, light makeup, skin-smoothing effect, and super long-lasting ability. Although the price is much higher than ordinary powder, you get what you pay for, and the family pack is actually very cost-effective. If you have oily skin and your makeup tends to fall off in the summer, you must try this powder, which will make your base makeup more beautiful as the night goes on. It simply opens the door to a new world!

People have always said that the powder puff that comes with E pancake is not very useful, and that the powder puff of E pancake and CPB are the perfect match. Of course, I believed it and tested it myself. I can say responsibly that the powder puff that comes with this plate was completely emptied.

I am a very picky person. Once I use a powder compact that I think is useful, I will try to scrape it clean (you can look up the previous record of the empty pan of Angel Loose Powder). I specially took off the box and weighed it, and there was quite a lot of powder left.

I used to like to use a brush to apply powder when putting on makeup, but the loose powder brush couldn't remove this kind of residual powder, so I bought this small brush specifically to remove it all.

Until I came across the E-powder. This one comes with a powder puff, which is amazing. It can grab the remaining powder easily without any pressure (see Figure 3). It seems that I don’t need to tilt it down and crush it like Angel Loose Powder, so an empty pan should be no problem.

I have thought about it countless times, if the built-in powder puff is really that bad, why don't the designers improve it? Can't they hear everyone's voice? (Shiseido's Night Powder comes with a thick powder puff similar to CPB, and also with a thin flocked powder puff similar to E pancake.) But after using it all the time, I feel that the original family's puff is more suitable.
