Should I use a brush or a powder puff for loose powder? Which powder puff is better for loose powder?

There are more and more cosmetics on the market now, and makeup tools are also increasing. Each cosmetic corresponds to a different makeup tool. Loose powder also has corresponding makeup tools. So should loose powder be applied with a brush or a puff? Which puff is better for loose powder?

Use a brush or a powder puff to set the makeup according to your skin. It is recommended that girls with dry skin can use a powder brush, while women with oily skin are better off choosing a powder puff. If it is a granular loose powder, you will usually be given a powder brush. Just dip the powder brush in it and then lightly sweep it on your face. If it is a powder cake, just use a powder puff. The difference between using a brush and a powder puff for loose powder is mainly reflected in the adsorption capacity, powder grabbing capacity, and makeup effect. The powder puff has a strong adsorption capacity, and the powder is more evenly and naturally applied, while the brush has a weak adsorption capacity, and it is not easy to apply evenly with a brush. The powder puff has a strong powder grabbing ability and can absorb excess facial oil, while the brush has a weak powder grabbing ability and cannot achieve a good oil control effect for oily skin. The powder puff coating is thicker, and the skin has color difference. Applying makeup with a brush is more natural, making the loose powder fit better with the skin.

The effect of a loose powder brush is much better than that of a powder puff. Because it is more flexible to apply makeup with a loose powder brush, you don't have to worry about accidentally applying too much loose powder, which will cause your face to become too dry and produce fine lines and dry lines. In addition, the loose powder brush is mainly used in a sweeping manner, which is more effective than the pressing method of a powder puff and can make the makeup look more natural. Powder puffs are generally larger in area and flatter in shape. If you use a powder puff to apply loose powder, you usually press the entire powder puff into the loose powder box to dip it. Once you apply too much powder, you will dip too much powder, which will easily clog the pores after applying it on your face. And for people with dry skin, it will make the skin even drier, and in severe cases it may cause skin peeling.

It is best to wait until your face is dry before using setting powder. It is best to start with the triangle area under the eyes. If you start applying loose powder directly from the T-zone, it will make your makeup fall off faster. Start from the triangle area and slowly spread to other parts and the T-zone. For combination skin, only a very thin layer of powder is needed on the T-zone. Never apply thick powder to cover pores and greasiness. This will only make your makeup fall off faster and more. Use as little loose powder as possible on the T-zone. After applying the powder puff to other parts of the face, use the loose powder left on the puff to powder the forehead. Start from the middle and blend a thin layer towards the edge of the hairline. No need to dip in loose powder.

Expensive powder is not necessarily suitable for you. You should first choose loose powder that suits your skin type. Only when it suits you can you consider whether it is expensive or not. Loose powder is honey powder. Honey powder pressed firmly is honey pressed cake. Honey pressed cake is easy to carry and is more suitable for business trips and travel. So, to put it bluntly, honey pressed cake is also loose powder. It is not recommended to use it as a normal pressed cake. Therefore, honey powder is a setting product, not a base makeup product. Both cheap loose powder and expensive loose powder are very fine, mainly because of the ingredients. Now it is not a problem to press loose powder very finely, the main difference is the ingredients. Cheap loose powder mainly contains talcum powder, that is, pure physical powder particles. Better loose powder has a lot of skin care ingredients added, which will not cause pore blockage or damage to the skin.
