What is the use of pressed powder? Is pressed powder the same as liquid foundation?

Some people use pressed powder instead of air cushion when applying foundation. What is the purpose of this pressed powder? Are pressed powder and liquid foundation the same?

Pressed powder is mainly used for base makeup and touch-up. It can quickly cover facial blemishes, even out skin tone, and make the face white and flawless. In addition, if the makeup comes off due to sweating or wearing makeup for too long, you can use pressed powder to touch up the makeup.

Liquid foundation is a liquid makeup base product. It fits the skin better than pressed powder, has a more moist texture, and has a better concealing effect. It is suitable for use at home. Pressed powder is a pressed solid powder makeup product, usually in the shape of a cake. The makeup effect is relatively transparent and dry, suitable for carrying around for easy touch-ups. Liquid foundation and pressed powder can also be used together. Generally, liquid foundation is used first as a base and then pressed powder or loose powder is used to set the makeup. The combination makes the makeup more durable and fits well. Liquid foundation: It is more suitable for dry or mixed skin, because liquid foundation is generally more moisturizing and fits well after applying it on the face. Pressed powder: It is suitable for oily or mixed skin. Since powdered products can absorb the oil on the face, it can achieve the effect of oil control. Pressed powder is smooth and light to use.

The vast majority of pressed powders have the function of concealing blemishes. Of course, the original function of pressed powder is to set and touch up makeup, but because it is very thick, it can be used as a concealer for the entire face.

The shelf life of powder is usually twelve months. If you look at the back of the powder, you will find a small "12M", which means that the powder can be kept for 12 months after opening. This mark is marked on many cosmetic boxes, which may be 6M, 8M, 24M, etc., which means the shelf life is six months, eight months, twenty-four months, etc. When using cosmetics, you can pay attention to the shelf life after opening written on the back of the cosmetic packaging. However, not all cosmetics have the shelf life after opening marked on the back. If there is no mark, please use it up as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
