Loose powder
Discover the best loose setting powder for perfectly velvet skin
A little miracle which will set, mattify, balance, smooth, brighten, and is suitable for all skin types – this is loose powder!
The benefits of loose powder for skin
- Sets foundation and makes it last longer.
- Perfectly mattifies skin, and reapplying during the day regulates further sebum production.
- Visually smooths enlarged pores and other subtle skin imperfections. Makes skin look like porcelain.
- Pigmented loose powder boosts the covering capacity of foundation and balances skin tone.
- The translucent loose powder (white at first glance when in the box) sets not only foundation, but also blusher or contour liner and also mattifies your lipstick. Its translucency makes it totally universal.
Choose the best loose setting powder
- Translucent loose powder: Translucent loose powder for the face will mattify your skin perfectly, and at the same time looks natural. The advantage is that you can use it for any skin tone - once applied, it blends into the skin and is not visible.
- Tinted loose powder: Apart from mattifying, it also subtly tints. Use it to set your foundation or just by itself for naturally balanced skin.
- Pink loose powder: Pink setting powder is intended for the area under your eyes. Its light pink colour perfectly camouflages dark circles under your eyes.
- Loose mineral powder: Made of finely-ground natural materials – most often this means zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or various kinds of mica. It mattifies the skin and also protects it against harmful UV rays.
- Loose powder with a powder puff: Many loose powders have a powder puff in the container to make application easier.
- Loose powder foundation and loose mineral powder foundation: These offer excellent coverage and are a great substitute for the classic liquid foundation.
How to use loose finishing powder
- Sprinkle a small amount of the powder into the lid.
- Use a make-up brush or a powder puff to pick up some powder and gently tap off any excess amount.
- Apply the powder to your face and leave it to “absorb” for a few moments.
- Gently go over your face with the brush to remove excess powder. Now your foundation is perfectly mattified and set.
How to choose according to skin type
The best loose powder for oily skin
If you suffer from excessive sebum production, try loose powder foundation instead of liquid foundation. It absorbs excess sebum and skin stays beautifully matte for a long time.
Not ready to give up on your favourite liquid foundation? Then opt for translucent loose powder. It can be renewed at any time during the day and thanks to its translucency, it does not form a visible deposit on the skin even after repeated application.
The best loose powder for dry skin
Dry skin does not need to be mattified, although loose powder will still prove useful when setting a concealer or foundation. Choose a small brush and apply a tiny amount to problematic spots only, such as where foundation often accumulates – most often under the eyes and around the nose. The forehead and cheeks dry out easily, so leave them out completely.
The best loose powder for mature skin
Finely-ground, translucent loose powder is the perfect loose powder for mature skin. Avoid pigmented powder which could form unsightly layers inside wrinkles during the day.
