It is worth remembering that the powder helps fix the makeup and eliminate the oily shine from the surface of the face in the T-zone. Do not use powder on the whole face for toning and creating the effect of a completely matte face - such methods have long gone out of fashion. You can not apply dry matter to the inflamed and irritated problem skin of the face, because small particles can "clog" the pores and cause the formation of new acne.
Powders differ in the form of release: compact and crumbly. Compact powder is a pressed product in a small round flat jar that fits easily into a handbag. It is convenient to use it “on the go” and “correct” the face of the house or outside of its walls due to the sponge or compact brush.
Crumbly powder has a dry friable consistence and is applied only with a wide brush; Spread it on the face will not work.
All cosmetic powders for toning and use on the face are further divided into several categories according to the type of their action:
- Matting;
- Cream;
- Mineral;
- Crumbly;
- Rice.
The most famous and sought-after type is matting.
Oily skin "pampers" its owner with a fat shine on the face: in the T-zone or throughout its area, which encourages the use of dry matting agent - powder. It strongly masks problem areas of the skin and makes the surface of the face completely matte, which requires the use of a highlighter, blush to refresh the face and give it a contour.
The creamy texture of the powder is denser; it can replace the foundation and use it as a corrector for problem areas of the skin when applied wet, but this product is also used separately to create a dense coating and a lasting make-up.
Mineral powder is considered one of the lightest formulations, hypoallergenic and suitable for use for a whole year.
It makes the surface of the epidermis duly matte and brisk, eliminates excess sebum and does not allow it to “break through” over makeup, while maintaining the natural glow of the skin. The mineral tinting agent contains natural components such as zinc oxide, kaolin, iron, boron nitride and quartz, which ensures its hypoallergenic properties.
Crumbly type of powder is often used by makeup artists because of its excellent toning and ease of product distribution over the face.
Despite its light coverage, powder perfectly retains makeup for 2 hours or more, depending on the intensity of the sebaceous glands.
Rice powder is enriched with vitamins B, E, PP, magnesium, silicon and tends to brighten the surface of the epidermis.
It was used in ancient times to give the skin a dullness and beauty, and today it is used by light-skinned beauties to create the perfect cover. Rice cosmetic product is not as affordable as other types of products, and it is sold exclusively by professional cosmetic brands, for example, Sweetscents, Polverederiso and others.
Shades
Powder differs not only in a form and expected effect, but also in a shade that allows to pick up an ideal product for completion of an image.
Transparent, often mineral remedy for the face has no shade and is ideal for oily and combination skin. The composition mattes the surface of the dermis and does not give additional color, emphasizes the natural shade of the skin or the tone of the tonal means used, acting on the skin of the face as delicately as possible. A transparent tool is ideal for use on oily skin to eliminate shine and is suitable for a smooth epidermis with minor flaws (almost imperceptible). Its disadvantage is that the powder does not mask the imperfections of the skin.
Tint powder allows you to emphasize or complement the color of the foundation, if they are used together. The spectrum of powdery tint differs from the almost transparent light to the darkest and most saturated; its choice is determined by the skin tone for which the dry cosmetic product is selected.
It is important to know that the shade of powder can be 1-2 tones lighter than your natural skin color, but by no means darker - it will create a mask effect.
Makeup artists say that with the help of ordinary powder you can correct the face: for a narrow shape, choose a powder tone that is lighter - this will visually expand the face. For broad form, use dark powder and apply it on hair growth and cheekbones.
The green shade of the cosmetic product will help to correct the thin skin with pronounced blood vessels on it.
How to choose
The right choice of powder ensures an even tone on the skin. When choosing a cosmetic product is to perform a number of simple conditions:
- Upon arrival at the cosmetic store, test the various textures of the dry matting compound on your arm: the wrist or the back of the hand. This technique will help determine the favorites among the powders and move in the next direction;
- To choose a shade, apply a little powder from the tester to the hand in the wrist area, then on the nose bridge, the pickups, and the forehead to assess the color of the product;
- It is worth remembering that the composition of the powder for oily skin should not contain fats (any vegetable oils), wax, starch and reflective particles (the exception is mineral);
- When choosing a powder professional makeup artists recommend to stop focusing on the brand of your tonal foundation.
- Dense matting powder for oily epidermis suitable for use in the cold season; for the warm and hot period, it is better to do without powder or pay attention to mineral analogues;
- For problem skin choose mineral bases - the natural composition of the product will not clog pores and will not cause additional irritation. It should be borne in mind that the use of a dry composition on the inflamed and irritated skin is not recommended no matter how natural it is;
- For combination and oily skinincluding epidermis with dilated pores, matting, and mineral, and creamy texture are suitable. Before buying, it is important to determine the effect expected from the product: fixing the makeup, toning the skin, or removing the oily sheen;
- For summer choose mineral powder with a protective factor SPF and do not forget to renew the layer every 2-3 hours to create a protective barrier on the surface;
