What is the role of loose powder? Which one should I use first, loose powder or setting spray?

Although loose powder and honey powder sound similar, there are still some differences in details. So do you use setting spray in your daily makeup? Which one should you use first, loose powder or setting spray?

Set makeup, brighten skin tone, hide pores. Loose powder is also called honey powder. It is used at the last step of makeup to make the base makeup more adherent, brighten skin tone, and smooth pores. When using, use a powder puff to apply a proper amount of loose powder and gently press on the face, paying special attention to the corners of the mouth and eyes. Do not use too much force, then use a makeup brush to sweep away the excess loose powder, and the makeup will become clean and natural. You can simply repeat the above two steps, so that the makeup effect is better.

Setting spray is usually used after loose powder, but it is not necessary to use it. It depends on your actual situation. In general, you can choose one of the products to use, but if you want a better makeup-lasting effect, you can use them together for better results. In addition to the effect of setting makeup, setting spray also has a moisturizing function. It can form a protective film on the skin, making the makeup last longer, relieving the problem of oily skin, and moisturizing the skin. Loose powder can fix makeup, absorb facial oil, modify our skin color, cover up problems such as large pores, and can be used to touch up makeup.

Using loose powder and then setting spray can make your makeup last longer and look natural. You can also use setting spray and then loose powder, but you need to wait until the spray is dry before using loose powder to avoid rubbing mud. Its effect is stronger than "loose powder first and then setting spray", and it can also create a matte feeling. Of course, it is up to the individual to decide which one to use first. If you use a setting product alone, you also need to pay attention to the method of use. Many people ignore loose powder after applying it. In fact, you should use a clean loose powder brush to remove the excess powder. When using setting spray, you need to shake it first and then spray it on your face at a distance of 15-20cm.

The principle of setting spray is that the film-forming agent inside can blend powder and water together, reduce the gaps, and form a thin film on the makeup, which helps lock the makeup on the face, delay the oil production of the skin, and thus reduce floating powder. Normally, when we apply foundation on our face, it sometimes causes powder to stick, making the makeup look not so docile, but after using setting spray, the phenomenon of powder sticking and makeup removal will be significantly improved. Using setting spray after completing the makeup steps not only has a moisturizing effect, making our skin look shiny, but also keeps our makeup in a good state for a long time. It is also a summer artifact that can both set and touch up makeup. It is not sticky and not greasy, and a light spray can lock the makeup.
