Powders 101: What's the difference between loose, pressed, setting and finishing powders + TOP Faves

[@sybildisobedience9969]

I’m 53, wore Mac all through my 20s & 30s, but their cosmetics aren’t formulated for older skin. I still wanna look like a rockstar, as I’m sure a lot of women my age do. I know we’re not your target demographic, but would you consider doing a video for us to adapt our old punk rock ways of application to a more flattering look that’s still somewhat on the edge?

[@MissouriPA]

Yes! This!

[@alexj2802]

Hi Sybil! I feel the same way. What is your favorite setting powder for U?

[@caitlinparkerfilms]

A powder I really enjoy using is the Covergirl cg smoothers pressed powder and the Covergirl clean invisible pressed powder. I have dry skin and these powders work beautifully on my skin and they blur all my huge pores without looking cakey and my skin still feels smooth after using them.

[@استغفرالله-ه3ل]

clinic the best make up product for mature skin and cerave the best as skin care products or koarian products

[@Gsega]

Wonderful question!

[@CristinaF210]

i have oily skin and i use many times a setting powder or finishing powder WITHOUT foundation, it makes my skin look and feel so nice and blurrs too, no need to use foundation sometimes just setting your face to get that oil out its also great

[@Potatoesandchaos]

OMG I thought I was the only one and felt weird about it...THANK YOU sooo much for posting this comment!

[@krisl6327]

I ended up at the video while searching for the best powder for oily skin. I don't use foundation. It just clogs my pores terribly so opted for just a powder.

[@delphiniumdolphin2902]

Just discovered I can use primer then a powder just to reduce redness (fair skin) ~ absolute game-changer for day-to-day!

[@Gsega]

I was coming to this video just like give her information on this. I don’t wear foundation or concealer. I don’t wear anything the correct the color, my face, but I did want something to fix the oiliness. I will be getting the Mac blot pressed powder. Hope it works !

[@SleeplessinOC]

@@delphiniumdolphin2902hi which primer and powder (and shade) do you use ?

[@saw-whet]

My favorite setting is Laura Mercier. She was recommended by another makeup artist to me. As a 65 yr old I find it’s incredible. I don’t have a pressed powder at the moment but am planning on IT 🫡 cosmetics brand.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

[@lizetteguerrero3406]

These are the videos I’m always looking for and waiting. Please do more. Maybe a step by step video on how you apply makeup on a regular basis with these types of products and when you’re going out to an event, wedding, a night out.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

[@mandyincolo]

Lisa I would love your expertise on… how to “freshen up makeup”. I do all the skin care and good foundation prep to help it not to budge but sometimes it is just going to come off. For example I do my makeup in the morning and at nighttime time I want to go out. Sometimes my foundation has come off around my nose and mouth (masks), my eye liner is a little smuggled underneath( especially with allergies)etc. how do I freshen up without starting over? Thanks a million. ❤️ Mandy

[@alexandrasaadi7149]

Regarding touch ups with a powder compact during the day… does a sponge or a puff make a difference? Is one better than the other at applying lighter layers? When I say sponge or puff, I mean the round ones that come with some powder compacts. Thank you Lisa!💜

[@millig8980]

You will always have better results when you press in the powder as oppose to dusting with a brush. I have a 46 year old oil tanker skin and the only way my makeup lasts is either to press the powder with a damp sponge or a good quality puff ( I use the beauty blender puff). If you want a thin layer just tap it on your wrist before applying. Xx

[@alexandrasaadi7149]

@@millig8980 Thank you so much! I’m going to try that right now!!

[@peachontopk]

I feel like nobody ever talks about the Loreal Hydra Perfecte loose powder and it’s seriously one of the best powders I’ve ever used in general. And I’m oily but it works so well on me. I originally bought it for my sister because she has dry skin but I decided to try it one day and it stuck ever since. It’s such a gem! My top loose are the Loreal, Laura Mercier, Huda Beauty and Koh Gen Do. Although I recently tried the Photofocus from W&W and I was highly impressed! Top pressed are Lancome Dual Finish, Revlon Colorstay, Sephora Matte Perfection powder foundation.

[@cristyglagola2448]

I love Laura Mercier’s loose powder (original formula) over Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation. They look gorgeous together. Also love Charlotte Tilbury pressed powder for setting under my eyes. I have the Physicians Formula powder Lisa mentioned and it’s very similar to CT but smells like coconut and vanilla! I also love a pressed powder I recently found at CVS by Joah-it’s translucent and super finely milled and just blurs out my pores….plus it’s cheap.

[@yulianagonzalez2428]

Hello babe good morning 🥰 love to learn more and more I love to see which BK beauty brushes use with which powder Loose/ pressed Setting/finishing

[@didilietho9241]

Hello! I was recently at Sephora and the makeup artist told me that the reason why I experience creasing under the eyes is because we tend to use a loose setting powder. She expressed that finishing powders are for under eyes while loose powders are for all over the face. I was wondering if you had any other suggestions or if it it’s just my actual skin and no matter what i will crease. Thank you !

[@lagadi1998]

Sometimes finishing powders will give you flashback so first u must choose the right product if u'r gonna use flash to take photos, second creasing might be happening due to the havier consistancy of the setting powder compaired to a finishing powder, or the way of application and the lack of hydration might be causing under eyes to crease. I don't really think that there's right or wrong in these situations, u really must try different ways of application and different products to finally get the best result for your own skin. Practise and search will make the difference. It's impossible to find a concealer, a foundation or a powder that will not look cakey, oily or crease at some point in a day. We have pores and the skin moves all the time.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Very helpful delineation. When I was in HS and through my 30s I wore Merle Norman translucent powder. I originally learned about it through my mom, as her hair dresser was a rep. It was so finely milled and soft, left a lovely finish like nothing I had ever experienced in other powders. After moving, retail stores were few and far between, and on-line sales were not a thing, so I lost touch with the product and moved on to others. Curious if anyone still uses and how the formula compares these days to the new fan faves.

[@BuildAQuilt]

Hi Lisa - I've been wearing make-up for 50 years and in the last four years, I have developed really red cheeks. The Dermatologist says it's not technically rosacea. My doctor thinks it's because I have very fair skin and am allergic to SPF ingredients and that I have developed a chronic allergy to anything that has certain ingredients. They have suggested that I try Talc free make-up and powders. As I work in theater, and video mediums, I'm having a hard time covering the redness. I've tried Dermablend and although it does the job, we found that it has Talc as a main ingredient and it has made my redness worse. I'm getting ready to try IT Bye Bye Redness, which does not contain talc. Do you know anything about this product or have any info about non-talc make-ups and powder that really cover redness. I also use Clarins SOS Primer #4 which is green for color correcting. Thanks so much, Diana

[@Act22butter]

I am very oily and have found loose powders to be amazing as I near 40. My favorite product right now is Pretty Vulgar’s translucent powder. This was a great video, thank you!!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

This was fascinating !!!

[@kristenc.5468]

I loved this video! As someone with a very oily tzone, especially in the summer, powders are always a must for me! My favorite loose powders are Laura Mercier for days when I really need my makeup to last (never under the eyes though), and Wet n Wild photo focus for eyeryday. For under my eyes I typically use the No 7 pressed, or the Hourglass loose that I have in a travel size. Anymore I typically only use pressed powders for touch ups, and I mostly just have drugstore options. My current go to is Covergirl clean fresh in translucent. If my makeup is starting to come off when I go to touch up, I will buff on a little powder foundation instead, and I use It Cosmetics or L’Oreal infallible. I have the physicians formula powder you mentioned coming in my next Amazon order. A few powders on my wishlist are the Huda loose powder, the Nikkia Joy loose powder, and I want to get a Mac blotting powder for my purse (or the Fenty one). I eventually want to try the No 7 loose version, but probably not anytime soon, because I don’t need a million powders at once😂

[@junnipherr7908]

Hi🥰 thank you for all of that info. I have a question, why can one use Laura Mercier's under your eyes? I'm learning about powders and stuff so that's why I ask. Thanks!

The regular Laura Mercier powder is good, under eyes it can look a little dry. She has a new version that’s more blurring, which is better under eyes. I love Nikkia Joy’s powder. I have oily tzone and it’s the only powder that stays all day on my nose

[@katrinaball178]

I LOVE the No7 powder as well because I think it makes my skin look like porcelain! So I got it both in the pressed(for touchups during the day) and the loose. However I have found that it doesn't really work for touchups in this Texas heat because it DOES make my skin look cakey and splotchy by the end of the day. So another KZbinr turned me on to the Revlon Photo Ready pressed powder in translucent and that works SO MUCH better for touchups in this Texas heat. I still love my No7 though and I use it for everyday for my makeup especially on my cheeks and nose where I have a lot of enlarged pores and texture. It blurs them out SO BEAUTIFULLY and I have gotten SO many compliments on my skin from using it. 😍

[@song5341]

No7 powder is amazing!! I actually do not use it to set my face, it always looks a bit cakey to me. I use a shiseido powder to set my foundation. Throughout the day my skin gets oily, and then I use the no7 powder to fix the shine. It’s amazing on my oily skin and looks so airbrushed. But I have found that it does not work that well if I set it with itself, I have to use a different powder and then go over with the no7 as a touch up. Even in the FL heat it looks really good. No7 is my favorite for touch ups only.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Absolutely love this video.

[@stephro74]

So glad to see this, I've been using the No7 loose powder for a year or so now, and I can't believe hardly anyone's talking about it. Maybe we should keep it our secret or it'll sell out?? 😆

My current favorite loose powder is Honest Beauty. My new favorite pressed powder, thanks to you, is the Physicians Formula you discuss. Love it! I purchased the LYS , again at your suggestion, for a finishing powder. I haven't used it a lot, but I do like it. Thanks for a great teaching video ❤️

[@changeeyecolor3891]

[@michellespaeth7608]

I love to set with elf halo glow light or light pink or No7 loose powder (both are translucent light or light pink and so beautiful, finely milled and light!) and love to use No7 pressed to set under my eyes (or the newer SheGlam duo powder w/both pressed and loose is so beautiful and very light for under the eyes). I use a finishing powder every time I wear makeup because somehow it adds just this beautiful ethereal look that I just can’t do without with my mid-40’s dry skin. I just crave that light catching glow! I use Hourglass Ambient powders, Milani Prep Set & Glow, Becca’s (now discontinued) Light Shifter Pressed powder or even Essence Pure Nude (which is a beautiful but subtle highlighter similar to Hourglass powders) or even The No7 pressed lift and luminate again. I use a huge fluffy duo fiber brush (It Brushes for Ulta makes a beautiful one for around $30, the Airbrush Mega #127). Beauty Pie has some gorgeous and light pressed powders (I think it’s called Wonder Powder?) which I carry in my purse for touching up and it’s not like any other powder I’ve tried honestly. It’s so light I can’t overdo it. I’ve tried and it doesn’t happen haha. I think it may be a decent replacement for my favorite Becca powder (though I bought backups of it before it sold out when Becca closed down). All of these layers are super light like Lisa said and it can make your skin look youthful and flawless. I love these powders so much.

Literally just downsized all my powders last night and no need to have so many. The ones I have kept that were all worth it, Mally anti powder, pat mcgrath undereye, kosas cloud, and wet and wild loose photo focus in banana. The only one I will invest in next to try when I am ready to buy one again is the By Terry one.

[@jellybean378]

By Terry is a good powder, I have it in loose and compact. I need to down size my powders as well. You just motivated me, lol You’re right, no need to have so many. Thanks for sharing!

This was amazing !

GREAT VIDEO LISA 🥰🥰🥰My very favorite daily is Makeup Forever Ultra HD lloose .It looks white but doesn't change makeup color and the pressed for touch ups in my purse. Fine and let's natural oils through after couple hours but not greasy. Revolution banana light pressed under eyes brightens. IT COSMETICS Bye Bye pores loose powder if I'm going out or going to be busy all day. This looks a bit matte when first applied but blends in as the day goes on. I've used the Physicians Formula Lisa mentioned in the Butter Drean Team pallete that has bronzer and blushes fir only $17 at Target. It is a great deal but the powder needs a big fluffy brush to not look heavy.

[@lisajmakeup]

Love it! Thank you for sharing!

Favorite finishing powder is Mac mineralized skin finish. Dont have a favorite setting powder. I use it cosmetics bye bye pores but i dont love it. It doesn’t keep my shine down. I have oily skin. Also, i cant set under my eyes with it. It makes them look crepey. I use Pat McGrath for that but i want to try something else.

[@adelekemp2290]

I enjoy the Haley’s Re-touch soft focus setting powder. Give it a try😊

[@changeeyecolor3891]

You are a lucky girl.

[@violethernandez5032]

Thank you Lisa for this video . So informative . I personally love the Laura Mercier loose powder but I am also going to try a pressed powder .

[@loveforeignaccents]

They say Wet N Wild Photo Focus loose setting powder is a dupe for that, in case you want to give it a try... and save a ton of money in the long run if you like that just as much.

I went out on a limb & tried Believe Beauty Loose Powder from DG & I surprisingly really liked it. What a great & affordable brand it is 🥰

[@changeeyecolor3891]

It is incredible...

[@joannesowle2547]

That was wonderful information, thank You!!!

[@yasimartinez8435]

That’s the correct word, spot on: “informative”. Such helpful info and tips, I love powders but are just recently learning the differences between them 😂. Thanks a lot 🥰💞

[@changeeyecolor3891]

They are sooo interesting...

[@zoeclayton986]

My favorite loose and pressed powders are by a fellow You Tuber, Nikkia Joy. It’s a translucent, finely milled powder with a light vanilla scent. It’s great for blurring pores and mattifying the skin. Great educational video! 💕

[@nivimb795]

I have both forms of her powders and they are great and smell amazing!

[@lesliegutierrez-roman1690]

@@nivimb795 I’m wanting to only purchase 1! Would you recommend the loose or pressed?

[@lesliegutierrez-roman1690]

I’m wanting to only get 1! Would you recommend the loose or pressed? ❤

[@zoeclayton986]

If you have oily skin I would use the pressed powder with a sponge like Nikkia does. Drier skin would like the loose version with a brush. Just my opinion. Hope this is helpful 😀

[@lesliegutierrez-roman1690]

Hi Lisa,i Just like looser powders.I have the mac pressed powder elf and the ct also very good.Learn a lot from you so thank u for the video's.A nice day.

[@deniseduwaji7927]

This is an excellent video because I have gotten confused between all these types. If a pressed powder doesn't come with an application puff, what do you use/recommend on the go?

[@pennylynn1998]

Sephora has a purse proof charcoal infused retractable powder brush for $25. If you want a drug store option Elf has a retractable kabuki brush for $4.19 @ Walmart. There’s a lot out there and they have different sizes and price ranges. I hope this helps. 🙂 They have sponge carriers from Real Techniques. Beauty Bakerie, Ulta.

Hi Lisa, Can you tell me what eyeshadow you are wearing in this video?

[@dianaa.8270]

I have oily skin. do you think I should try the lamcome loose powder. I do not want it going into my pores tho. I love this video! Thank you

[@lisalovesphotography]

So helpful! Thank you. I love the By Terry loose and pressed powders.

[@jellybean378]

I agree. I have both By Terry powders. They really blur the pores on my 58yr old drier skin.

[@juliecassidy7353]

I like the product and especially the puff of CoverGirl loose mineral powder in banana.

[@lisettecampbell2138]

Happy Friday! I am super new to makeup and am in my 40’s. I wear a tinted sunscreen which I love yet need a powder to absorb shine throughout the day for my combination skin. Forgive me for the question if I didn’t catch an answer in this video, but which would you recommend for touching up through out the day please? Was it loose powder? Not sure if that was considered the finishing powder which was not recommended for daily use. Thank you!

[@nadiazanchetta1388]

This was soo informative Lisa as I know my self I get confused and not knowing what I should use depending on my needs. Great video my friend!!!❤❤❤

Favourite setting powder: Laura Mercier, but I’m curious about the Estee Lauder loose powder. Have you tried it? any thoughts? Thank you for the video. ❤

[@allisonwhisler4149]

I’ve always been curious about how to use the hourglass veil powders.i have two of them but wonder if they even do anything!

[@kzw16]

Thanks, Lisa, great video. I'm a little confused about which is your ultimate favorite for large pores (over 50), regardless of cost?

[@teresalarge3088]

Wow!! I needed this educational video!! I absolutely love makeup, but I work outside all day long with my excavation job. I wear makeup everyday in the hot humid weather!! I have found a lot of makeup or powders give that same wet, radiant, dewy look with shine even if I'm inside all day long. I definitely prefer a more matted look toy makeup but it's hard to find powders that give that look with less shine. 😔
