Why can loose powder set makeup? Why can loose powder control oil?

Loose powder is a very common cosmetic in daily life. We all know that loose powder has the effect of setting makeup and controlling oil, but few people know the principle behind it. So let's learn about why loose powder can set makeup? Why can loose powder control oil?

The principle of loose powder setting makeup is that loose powder contains talcum powder. Talcum powder has good water and oil absorption effects, can absorb sweat and oil, eliminate the greasy sheen of the face, and thus achieve the purpose of setting makeup. Setting makeup is an important step in makeup. Setting makeup after base makeup can make the makeup last longer, and the makeup is long-lasting and not easy to remove. The three main cosmetics that can be used for setting makeup are loose powder, pressed powder, and setting spray. Loose powder is a powdered product made of powder raw materials, does not contain oil, and the main active ingredient is talcum powder. Talcum powder has good water absorption. It can not only absorb sweat, but also absorb excess oil on the face, keep the face fresh and transparent, enhance the sustainability of cosmetics, and make the makeup last for a long time without removing makeup. When using loose powder, use a loose powder brush or a relatively soft powder puff to apply it, first gently shake off the excess loose powder, and then use it on the face, so that the makeup will be clean and not heavy. Loose powder can also be set by baking. Use a damp beauty egg to dip a large amount of loose powder, and apply it to oily areas of the face, such as the forehead and wings of the nose. Then leave it for a few minutes. The temperature of the skin will allow the loose powder to slowly penetrate into the base makeup and fill in the gaps in the base makeup. Finally, use a loose powder brush to sweep away the excess loose powder.

Loose powder can control oil because it contains talcum powder, which can absorb oil. The use of loose powder is the last step of the whole makeup. Therefore, it can effectively prolong the durability of the makeup, and play a role in fixing the makeup and making the skin more delicate. The reason why loose powder can control oil is that its main ingredient is talcum powder with a fine texture. This kind of talcum powder with a very fine and smooth texture can effectively solve the problem of oily face, because it absorbs a lot of oil and can make the skin present a matte texture. Some loose powders also have the function of adjusting skin color and even skin color. And it can ensure that the whole makeup will not fall off for a long time in the case of oil and sweat. The makeup after loose powder setting can present a soft matte texture, and when paired with a matte lipstick, it will have a retro and restrained temperament.

Method 1: Place a desiccant. Loose powder is usually damp because it clumps, or because it is stained with liquid cosmetics when applied, or because the powder cake and puff are used together, which causes the surface of the loose powder to clump. At this time, you can put the packaged desiccant in the loose powder box, because the desiccant can remove the moisture in the loose powder and restore the loose powder to dryness. When storing loose powder, be careful not to place it in humid places such as bathrooms.

Method 2: Store the loose powder in the refrigerator. If you find that the loose powder is clumping, you can put it in the refrigerator. After 24 hours, take it out and the loose powder will return to powder. It should be noted that during the storage period, the refrigerator cannot be opened and closed repeatedly.

Method 3: Perform a macroscopic examination in a high-temperature place under the balcony light. When the loose powder is damp, it is easy to cause caking. You can put it in a high-temperature place such as a balcony, but do not expose it directly to the sun to evaporate the moisture. After a few hours, knock on the wall of the loose powder box to quickly open the lumps in the loose powder.

After using loose powder for a long time, it will clump after absorbing moisture in the air. Generally, at this time, the loose powder has deteriorated, and crushing and grinding it will not have the original effect. Therefore, it is recommended to transform it into a pressed powder or foundation cream. The method is as follows: 1. Scrape out the required amount of clumps of loose powder and put it on a small plate (or an empty box). 2. Then mix in a small amount of eye cream and mix well. The amount of eye cream added depends on the dryness of the loose powder, generally 1:1. In this way, the originally clumps of loose powder can also be reused, which is very convenient and affordable.
