Should I wet the powder before using it? Should I use a sponge or a powder puff?

Pressed powder is a very important cosmetic for base makeup. It determines the quality of base makeup. At the same time, the correct way of use is also very important. No matter how good the pressed powder is, if you don't know how to use it, the base makeup will not adhere to it. So should the pressed powder be wet before use? Should the pressed powder be applied with a sponge or a powder puff?

For wet and dry powder, you can wet the powder puff with water, squeeze out most of the water, dip the powder puff into the powder, and then apply the base makeup. This will make the foundation fit the skin better and make the base makeup more transparent and elegant. The powder puff is a kind of makeup tool. Generally, loose powder and powder boxes will contain a powder puff, which is mostly made of cotton and velvet materials, used to pick up foundation and modify makeup. After moisturizing, wet the sponge puff, squeeze out about 70% of the water, dip a little powder and rub it on the skin in a tapping manner. Pay special attention to pressing a few more times on spots and uneven skin color until the color of the whole face is unified. Generally, the powder puff of wet and dry powder is sponge-shaped. If used as a wet powder, it needs to be cleaned after use. If used dry, it also needs to be cleaned every once in a while.

Pressed powder is generally divided into dry pressed powder and wet pressed powder. It is generally recommended to use a powder puff for wet pressed powder and a brush for dry pressed powder. However, some brushes can also be used to apply wet pressed powder, but because it is difficult and not easy to master, it is not recommended for beginners. Using a brush to apply makeup is more suitable for girls with good skin and fewer blemishes. If the skin is not good, it is easy to cause incomplete and unsatisfactory concealment. Using a powder puff to apply pressed powder will make the makeup more concealing. The base makeup after using a brush is not as good as the method of pressing the powder puff to apply makeup. If the skin is dry and prone to floating powder and stuck powder, it is recommended to use a powder puff to apply pressed powder, so that the base makeup is more adherent.

You can mix and match. You need to find the one that suits you. Generally, the foundation on your face should be slightly whiter than your skin. Don’t make it too white, or it will look like you are wearing powder. You can also prepare a bottle of darker powder and apply it on the sides of the nose and cheeks. This will make your facial features three-dimensional. The color of the powder on other parts of your face should be the same as the foundation. People with fair skin can choose pinkish colors to create a healthy complexion. For people with dull skin, yellow powder is also the best choice. When you are not sure about the color, there is a simple way to compare the colors of the powder next to your face in a sunny place and choose the color that is closest to your skin color.
