Loving beauty is the nature of every girl. Many girls will beautify themselves through makeup. Because of this, there are many kinds of cosmetics on the market. We often hear about loose powder and setting powder. So are loose powder and setting powder the same? Is loose powder the same as setting powder?

Setting powder is also called honey powder and loose powder. It is a kind of cosmetics. Generally, we see that setting powder is powdery and very delicate. This is because it contains fine talcum powder, which helps to absorb excess oil on our face, reduce facial oiliness, and make our makeup look more refreshing. It is especially suitable for setting makeup in our daily life. Therefore, if you want to have a delicate makeup, setting powder is indispensable. The function of setting powder is to set makeup and make our makeup not so easy to fall off. If you only use liquid foundation to create base makeup without setting powder, then in the afternoon, you will find that your careful dressing in the morning will fall off with the continuous secretion of oil on your face, and your whole body will be particularly greasy, or your eye makeup, eye shadow, blush, etc. will show traces unwillingly.

Loose powder is a setting powder. Setting powder is the professional name for loose powder, which can also be called honey powder. Loose powder contains talcum powder, which can absorb excess facial oil and reduce facial shine. It is suitable for most skin types. In addition to setting makeup, loose powder also has the function of blending skin color. Loose powder has different colors. White loose powder is the most common and can brighten the skin tone. Purple loose powder can blend yellow and dull skin tone. Green loose powder is suitable for adjusting uneven red or black skin tone. Pink loose powder can make the complexion appear healthy and rosy. It is suitable for people with white skin and no blood color. When using loose powder, you can use a loose powder brush or a powder puff to apply it gently on your face. The powder puff has a better powder-grabbing power. You should control the amount of loose powder to avoid uneven setting.

It increases the durability of makeup. After you have finished applying nose shadow, foundation, concealer, blush and eye shadow, which is basically a complete makeup, then lightly apply a small amount of loose powder to set the makeup. It can fix the eye shadow and blush in their original positions and will not fade due to facial expressions. This will make the makeup more stable and lasting and not easy to come off.

To create a three-dimensional effect on the face, the loose powder with pearlescent effect is applied on the bridge of the nose, forehead and tip of the chin. Of course, it cannot be used on the entire face. It can also create an additional three-dimensional effect on the face and slightly adjust the skin tone.

It can absorb oil and resist dust for people with oily skin. Some people have oily skin and are prone to having a shiny face. Loose powder can control oil and modify skin tone. The loose powder is loose, with finer particles, lower density and higher light transmittance. After applying it, it will not feel heavy, but give the face a velvety semi-matte effect, bringing a comfortable touch and refreshing look to people with oily skin.

Loose powder is used to set makeup, because it contains talcum powder, which can absorb excess oil on the face and make the makeup last longer. After the entire makeup is applied, use a loose powder brush to dip a small amount of loose powder and gently sweep it along the contours of the face. The texture of loose powder is generally very light and the powder is very fine. The color is mainly white, and it is transparent after applying on the face. Most products have no smell, but some also have a faint fragrance. Although loose powder looks inconspicuous and seems dispensable, this step of setting makeup is very important for the entire makeup. Countless people have told us from their own personal experience that the entire makeup will last for several hours longer after using loose powder.
