Know 3 Types of Powder and Their Functions When Applying Makeup

Dream - When you want to create a perfect base makeup, you will need powder to set your makeup. Especially if you want your makeup to last longer, look flawless, and not easily smudge.

But before using powder, you need to know the types that you need. Generally, powders are divided into three types: loose, compact, and translucent powder.

Although they have the same types, each of them has different functions and textures. Felita Anthony, a Makeup Artist (MUA) who has 120 followers on Tiktok account @felita_anthony and the founder of beauty products Loreca Official explains the differences between these three powders.

Loose powder or loose powder has a medium formula and functions to control oil production on the face. Therefore, this powder is suitable for oily skin types.

Loose powder also has certain colors and can provide medium coverage. So, you can use it to even out skin tone.

Compact Powder

Compact powder or pressed powder has a smoother texture and can conceal pores. So, you can use it when you want to make your face look smoother and flawless.

In addition, its small particles can provide high coverage. So, this powder can conceal faint hyperpigmentation on the face.

Translucent Powder

Unlike the previous two types of powder, translucent powder has a lighter formula and does not change your natural skin color. However, you can use it as a setting powder.
