Function and variants of makeup powder

Makeup powder has several functions. It is used to give the skin a matte finish, to reduce shine and to extend the shelf life of make-up. Moreover, it can be used to give the skin an even complexion and camouflage blemishes. The powder is available in different shades, from transparent to beige and brown.

Applying makeup powder

Makeup powder should be applied after applying basic make-up, such as foundation and concealer. It is the last step in the make-up routine, and it is meant to give the skin a natural matte finish and extend the durability of the make-up. It is recommended to apply makeup powder with a powder brush or a sponge, and apply it all over the face or only to areas where shine is perceived. Apply the powder in thin layers to make the skin look natural. It is also important to note that the powder can be applied during the day to extend the hold of the make-up and reduce shine. So if you notice your skin starting to shine over time, you can apply some powder for a quick touch-up.

Origins of make-up powder

Makeup powder has been around for centuries. The oldest forms of powder were made from natural ingredients such as talcum powder and rice powder. These powders were used to give the skin a matte finish and protect it from the sun. In the 20th century, the cosmetic industry began to develop and synthetic ingredients were increasingly used for makeup powder. Now modern variants offer a wider range of colours and functions, and come in all shapes and sizes.
