Pressed Powder Makeup: an alternative to liquid makeup

By: Samantha Steiner

Makeup artists tend to say that starting off with properly prepared skin is a lot like being an artist starting off with properly prepared canvas. So arguably, deciding on the right foundation for one's skin is extremely important before going through the daily beauty routine of applying other makeup such as eyeliner and lipstick.

Selecting a foundation is a decision each woman must make based on her own skin type and color. What may work for many, does not work for all. There are many types of foundation from which to choose. Selecting a type of foundation is a good first step for successful make up application.

There is an alternative to liquid makeup, the second camp is pressed powder makeup. Liquid makeup is often messier than pressed powder makeup and can also be much more convenient. Rather than constantly going through the hassle of replacing sponge applicators, powder makeup users will only need a small selection of beauty brushes to apply their makeup. These brushes may include kabuki brushes, buffer brushes, or contour brushes.

How often have you looked into your purse, only to find that your liquid makeup has spilled inside? A definite advantage of using pressed powder makeup is that it is safe to throw the compact into your purse, knowing that it won't explode! The convenience of having a tidy touch-up at your fingertips for your makeup, leaving you to get on with your busy life, can not be underestimated. Add a hairbrush and lipstick, and your purse is a portable quick-fix makeup friend.

Pressed powder makeup works better for women with oily skin than liquid makeup. A matte look on the face is obtained by using powdered makeup because it absorbs the oily sheen. High end makeup brand's produce pressed powdered make up to cater to the needs of women with oily skin. Those who are allergic to talcum should be aware that pressed powder produced by the high end makeup brands have talc which may cause irritations.

In recent years the makeup world has embraced an emerging new type of makeup. This new type of makeup is known as bare cosmetics. Bare cosmetics are made from minerals and natural ingredients as opposed to synthetic makeups. Bare cosmetics offer coverage that is just as good as the synthetic makeups, but they do not irritate the skin. This makes bare cosmetics an exciting alternative of women with sensitive skin who sometimes suffer from break outs and other skin problems such as rosacea.
