Can pressed powder and loose powder be used together? Which one is better?

Pressed cakes and loose powders both have the functions of controlling oil and setting makeup, and they will make the makeup look cleaner after use. So can pressed cakes and loose powders be used together? Which one is better?

Loose powder and pressed powder do not need to be used at the same time. The reason for using loose powder frequently is to set makeup, and the setting effect of loose powder is also very good, which can make your skin very clear. Pressed powder can also be used to set makeup when applying makeup alone, and pressed powder is particularly convenient to carry. When going out on a daily basis, if you need to touch up your makeup, you can use pressed powder. However, loose powder and pressed powder are suitable for different skin types, because loose powder is particularly delicate and suitable for neutral skin or dry skin, which can make your makeup more fitting and look more natural.

Both loose powder and pressed cake have the function of setting makeup. Loose powder is relatively light and thin, and is suitable for all skin types. Loose powder is a powdered product made from powder raw materials, does not contain oil, and absorbs sweat and oil through the water absorption of talcum powder, eliminating the greasy sheen on the face and increasing the sustainability of cosmetics, thereby achieving the purpose of setting makeup. Loose powder presents a clearer makeup, suitable for people of all skin types. Pressed cake is a base makeup product, containing oily ingredients, with good adsorption, can be adsorbed on the skin, so that the makeup does not fall off, thus achieving the purpose of setting makeup. Using pressed cake to set makeup is to superimpose two base makeup products, so the makeup presented is relatively heavy, suitable for oily skin or combination skin.

Loose powder generally has a finer texture. Because it is not compressed and is in powder form, it can make the makeup look transparent and thin. The texture of pressed powder is denser. It is compressed into dry powder form, and the concealer effect is better when used.

For oily skin, you should choose dry powder. This type of powder has a strong ability to absorb oil. Just use a powder puff to dip a certain amount of powder and press it on the face to instantly reduce the oiliness, and the makeup will feel refreshing and not greasy. For oily skin, it is best to choose a powder with a matte makeup effect. If you have oily skin after makeup, matte powder can also neutralize the oiliness. Oily skin will continue to secrete oil because of its active sebaceous glands. If you don't control oil well during the foundation step, the entire makeup will appear oily and affect the makeup effect. Excess facial oil will also melt the makeup and cause makeup to come off. Therefore, for oily skin, the step of using powder to set the makeup is essential.
