Loose powder

Cosmetics can not only hide the bumps in the skin, but also care for the dermis. Powder is the means that fixes makeup on the face, evens out the tone and creates a matte effect. It is often used by girls with oily skin type - it is possible to correct the work of the sebaceous glands and remove the shine on the face with the help of powder in one instant. One type of means that contributes to the rapid alignment of tone and give the natural glow of the face - it is crumbly powder.

In Egypt, the queen applied powder of rice flour to the dermis to give it a matte and white tint, as in those days - light, matte skin was the standard of beauty, purity and belonging to a high clan.

From ancient times, until the nineteenth century, the crumbly base was used by girls all over the world: the fair sex literally whitened the face, in order to give a noble appearance. Modern fashion dictates its own rules, and the crumbly type tool can be used for several reasons:

• pinning makeup - lying on the skin evenly, can perfectly prolong the effect of the tonal framework;
• giving a natural shade to the face - due to the inclusion of natural minerals and useful components in the composition, the cosmetic has a caring effect. Depending on the type of dermis, it can tighten pores, moisturize or nourish;
• tone alignment - perhaps due to special substances (for example, talc or calcium carbonate), which create an even coating, preventing pore contamination;
• elimination of minor defects - there are certain types of powder (for example, transparent), with the help of which it is possible to eliminate reddening and some defects. Caring components can also restore the water-salt balance of the skin, thereby preventing the appearance of new inflammations;
• dull skin - natural, velvet shade gives not only crumbly, but also compact powder. This is the main effect of any powder - matting the skin. Due to the light texture and volatile particles, it is a crumbly remedy that lays down evenly, without creating the effect of transitions or a mask on the face.

There are several types of powder, each of which serves its purpose. To fix the makeup, a transparent base is more suitable, as it does not have any effect other than pinning the tone. Being a white powder, on the skin it becomes transparent, translucent "tonalnik". Women with problem skin use it freely. Sometimes, the tool can be used as a highlighter.

Powder itself has several advantages over other matting agents, but it is avoided by girls, as there is no clear understanding of how to use it. Active components included in its composition:

• talc - a natural component that tightens pores and makes skin smooth and matte in an instant;
• kaolin fibers - Promote hydration and nutrition of the dermis. Also, thanks to these inclusions, the tone is fixed and the makeup is held throughout the day;
• calcium carbonate - restores the protective functions of the epidermis and prevents the secretion of excess sebum;
• collagen inclusions - construction fibers for new cells. With the help of these components, the facial tone is leveled, and the dermis is fed on the deep layers.

For the fatty dermis there are powders with the addition of zinc and its oxides, which are capable of restoring the epithelium and suppress excessive sebum secretion. For dry, irritated and sensitive dermis, they release matting agents that do not overload the skin, moisturize and nourish the deep layers of the dermis. Girls with a normal type of derma are much more fortunate - they can safely use every type of makeup.

Powders may vary according to another criterion: tone. There are basic skin color types for which matting and skin color leveling are selected. For proper selection, before buying it is necessary to apply a small amount of powder on the wrist. In the absence of contrast, you can easily purchase the product you like.

For example, the use of beauty products, such as mineral powder, can not only even out skin tone, but also open pores. With this makeup, the dermis "breathes."

Most girls avoid buying loose powder. Sometimes, even the most qualitative basis can look unnaturally on the face, if it is wrong to apply. In order to create a perfectly smooth coating, and toned minor skin imperfections, you need to use a little trick:

• Before applying make-up, the skin should be evenly moistened or evened with a tonal foundation. It is better to wait until it is completely absorbed, otherwise the powder will fall unevenly and stained;
• a matting agent should be applied either with a powder puff or with a brush. Better both. The brush should be used to apply the tone to the cheekbones and cheeks, and the powder coat should be used for the forehead, nose and chin zone. Each tool is different way to cover the skin, for example, for the T-zone requires a more dense layer of powder - it is what creates a puff with a white base;
• in order to properly use the powder with a brush, you should collect a moderate amount of the tool and lightly apply it to the skin. Carefully go through the area of ​​the forehead and nose - these areas have increased production of sebum.

It is also necessary to remember some nuances:

• first applied moisturizer, then the foundation, then - powder, and only at the end - blush. Such a sequence is able to create the most even tone and complexion;
• Do not apply powder to wet and clean skin, as this will create lumps on the face - it will look untidy;
• before applying the powder on oily skin, you should wet the face with a dry cloth to remove excess fat from the skin;
• crumbly powder of various shades can be easily used to visually adjust the shape of the face. Lighter tones should be used for the parts that should be distinguished, and dark ones - for those that hide.
