10 Best Pressed and Loose Powders for Longlasting Makeup

Both will set your makeup and absorb excess shine and oil. Loose powder is more oil absorbing than pressed powder. Loose powder is preferable when first setting foundation and concealer. It gives a better finish and prevents the need for touch-ups longer. Pressed powder is wonderful because it is easy to carry and use for touch-ups throughout the day. If you have oily skin, powder is a must because it prevents excess shine from the oils in your skin, which can draw attention to textural flaws. Your powder should be milled as fine as possible. The finer a powder is milled, the higher the quality and the less likely it is to cake on the skin. Finer-milled powders will feel more like velvet, whereas less-milled powders feel grittier.
Today we are sharing some of the best powders which have proven to be effective and work as they claim by keeping your makeup last longer.
