What is the difference between loose powder and compact powder?

Choosing between loose powder and compact powder is not a matter of preference. Both types of powder have very specific characteristics that make them suitable for different needs and skin types. Discover in this article the advantages of each type of powder and tips for using them according to the desired effect.

Loose powder: ideal for oily skin and a natural matte finish

Loose powder, appreciated for its light texture and natural finish , is composed of fine particles that provide an immediate mattifying effect. This type of powder is perfect for setting makeup while absorbing excess sebum, which helps prevent shine throughout the day. Loose powder is particularly recommended for combination to oily skin , as it creates a matte finish without weighing down the complexion.

On the other hand, its volatile texture makes it less practical for everyday touch-ups. It is ideally applied with a brush, and its box format is more suitable for use at home.

Who is it for? People with combination to oily skin who are looking for a natural, matte finish.

When to use it? After applying foundation, to set makeup for a long time and provide a fresh, natural complexion all day long.

Compact powder: for an even complexion and easy touch-ups

Denser and pressed, compact powder offers more coverage that blurs small imperfections and evens out the complexion. Practical and ideal for touch-ups , it is easy to carry and can be applied with a powder puff or brush, depending on the desired effect. Its texture is also more suitable for normal to dry skin , as it does not dehydrate the skin like loose powder can.

Who is it for? People looking for coverage for an even complexion, as well as easy touch-ups throughout the day.

When to use it? Ideal for touch-ups during the day, it can also be used alone for a light makeup look, or over foundation for a more even finish.

In short, how to choose between loose powder and compact powder?

• Loose Powder : Provides a natural, matte finish, ideal for oily or combination skin types looking to control shine.
  
  
• Compact powder : provides more coverage and an even complexion, perfect for touch-ups during the day and suitable for normal to dry skin.
