When purchasing powder, your skin type and tone also matter. we will give you 4 tips for choosing the best skin powder.
1. View
You can really get lost in the variety of types of powders. But you can focus on your tasks. For example, if you need a universal product for a trip, you can choose compact or cream powder.
And for a photo shoot or video call, a product with a blur effect is suitable – it will perfectly hide all imperfections and create that very face “processed with filters.” When you need to remove shine on oily skin, it is better to use matte or transparent powder.
2. Shade
As a rule, loose powders are more versatile and adapt to any skin tone. The same can be said about white transparent powders – the main thing here is that in certain lighting they do not create the effect of flour on the face.
As for compact powders, it is better to check their shade in person – on the wrist or on the face, if possible.
3. Skin type
When purchasing cosmetics, the most important thing to focus on is the condition of your skin. If it’s too dry, even a good mattifying powder will only make the situation worse. Here it is better to use a mineral one or with a wet effect, which also has a care effect.
If your skin is oily, mattifying powders, on the contrary, are the best solution. For problematic or allergy-prone skin, it is also advisable to take mineral powder. When using a combination powder, you should not purchase very dense or mattifying powder, as this will highlight all the imperfections. It is recommended to opt for cream powder.
4. Price
On marketplaces and in stores you can find powders at almost any price; there are even boxes for 50 thousand rubles and more. And yet, a good thing can be purchased for between 3 and 30 dollars. Everything, of course, depends on the brand, the popularity of the product itself, the volume and the presence of a sponge and mirror. As a rule, the latter force the manufacturer to slightly increase the price.

1. Powder can be applied either with a brush or a sponge.
2. Apply it at the end, as the final stage of makeup.
