Face powder is a cosmetic powder applied to the face to set foundation after application. It can also be reapplied throughout the day to minimize shininess caused by oily skin. There is translucent sheer powder, and there is pigmented powder. Certain types of pigmented facial powders are meant be worn alone with no base foundation. Powder tones the face and gives an even appearance. Besides toning the face, some SPF based powders can also reduce skin damage from the sun and environmental stress. It comes packaged either as a compact or as loose powder. It can be applied with a sponge, brush, or powder puff. Uniform distribution over the face is achieved easier when a loose powder is applied.
Because of the wide variation among human skin tones, there is a corresponding variety of colors of face powder. There are also several types of powder. A common powder used in beauty products is talc. Brands like Bare Minerals contain natural mineral ingredients. They promote their product as being safe and calming for rosacea, as well as improving wrinkles and skin that has been over exposed to sun and has hyper pigmentation.[1] Powder is a very popular type of make-up and is used by all types of women.
Facial powder is very similar to body or baby powder, in that it is absorbent and provides toning to the skin.
