Can pressed powder replace liquid foundation? Can pressed powder be applied directly to make-up?

Pressed cake is a common cosmetic, usually used to touch up makeup. A makeup may last for a short time, and it is easy to fall off over time, so many girls will use pressed cake to touch up makeup. So can pressed cake replace liquid foundation? Can pressed cake be used directly for makeup?

Most of them cannot be used directly. Because pressed powder is a completely powdery product, it contains very little water, so it uses its own low water content to set the skin, so pressed powder has a strong ability to set the skin, and the skin will become very smooth and dry after it sets. The skin will become sticky right after applying liquid foundation, but at the same time, the permeability will increase. At this time, using pressed powder can improve the freshness of the skin, but it cannot be used directly on the skin, because its powdery ingredients determine that it may clog the pores if used directly on the skin, and before applying pressed powder, primer, liquid foundation, and concealer are essential.

Yes, it is just that after using liquid foundation, the powder cake adheres better. Liquid foundation is a liquid foundation, which is suitable for neutral, mixed and oily skin. Compared with the moisturizing effect of foundation cream, the oil control effect of liquid foundation is relatively better. Liquid foundation should be selected according to different skin types. Liquid foundation plays a protective role. It is the first step of makeup and the last step of skin care. It blocks dust in the air from entering the skin, so it plays a protective role. Moisturizing liquid foundation with highly effective moisturizing ingredients can "catch" moisture in the air and "lock" moisture in the skin, so it can moisturize the skin and is the most considerate layer of outer clothing for the skin. If the weather turns hot or you have oily skin, a foundation with oil-control ingredients will bring you better results.

Pressed cakes cannot replace loose powder to set makeup. Loose powder is specifically used to set makeup. The setting effect of loose powder is thinner, more natural and longer-lasting. Pressed cakes can be used alone or to set and touch up makeup. Because they are easy to carry, they are more suitable for personal daily use. In a makeup artist's makeup box, there are only professional loose powders and no pressed cake products. If you have high requirements for your makeup, you can use loose powder to set your makeup after applying makeup at home, and carry pressed cakes with you to touch up your makeup when you go out.

Pressed powder can be applied with a brush, and the makeup applied with a brush will look more natural and light. Pressed powder comes with a powder puff when it is packaged, but the powder puff is far less natural than a brush, and needs to be cleaned frequently to keep it hygienic. Pressed powder is generally used to set and touch up makeup. Before using pressed powder to touch up makeup, use a cotton pad to wipe off the floating powder and oil on the face, apply a little moisturizing lotion on the parts that need to be touched up, and then use pressed powder to touch up makeup after it is absorbed. If the moisturizing work is not done well, the face may have floating powder, stuck powder, etc.
