Which is better, loose powder or honey powder? The difference between loose powder and honey powder

It needs to be said here that loose powder and honey powder are actually the same thing, just with different names, but the ingredients are exactly the same. They are both setting powders, which have the functions of setting and touching up makeup, and powder is divided into dry and wet use. When it is used dry, it also has the functions of setting and touching up makeup. Because of the same function, it is impossible to determine which one is better. They have their own advantages and disadvantages and differences. Here is a brief introduction to the differences between the two products.

The difference between loose powder and honey powder

Appearance difference

Loose powder (honey powder): Loose powder (honey powder) is very fine and is a loose powder cosmetic. It is usually packed in a small round box. Some loose powders are also equipped with a loose powder puff for applying loose powder.

Pressed Powder: Pressed Powder is a solid cosmetic in the shape of a cake, which is packed in boxes of different shapes, such as round boxes, square boxes, etc. There are usually two pieces of pressed powder in the pressed powder box, one for wet use and one for dry use, and the pressed powder box is usually equipped with a mirror and a sponge puff, which is convenient for touch-up anytime and anywhere.

Function Difference

Loose Powder (Honey Powder): Loose Powder (Honey Powder) contains fine talcum powder, which can effectively absorb excess facial oil, reduce facial oiliness, and comprehensively adjust the skin tone, making the makeup more lasting, smooth, and delicate. At the same time, the effect of preventing makeup from coming off is very good. Some loose powders also have the effect of concealing blemishes, which can make the makeup look softer.

Pressed Powder: Pressed Powder has multiple effects such as concealing blemishes, modifying, controlling oil, and sun protection. It is used for setting and touch-up, and can adjust skin tone and skin texture. When the face is oily, the pressed powder can effectively absorb excess oil, so that the makeup surface remains clean and the face will not be very dry. Pressed Powder is mostly used in summer and can create a matte texture.

Suitable for skin types

Loose powder (honey powder): Loose powder (honey powder) has a light texture and fine powder quality, which puts less burden on the skin and less irritation, so it is very suitable for dry skin and sensitive skin.

Powder: Powder has strong oil control ability and can instantly remove the oiliness of the face and create a matte makeup, so it is particularly suitable for oily skin.

Loose powder and honey powder are more suitable for setting makeup

Loose powder has strong adsorption power and can effectively absorb facial oil and remove the oiliness of the face. After applying a moisturizing base makeup, the face is shiny, so loose powder is more suitable for setting makeup, which can keep the base makeup perfect all day long.

Pressed cake is more suitable for touch-up

Powdered cake not only has the function of oil control, but also can well cover blemishes, adjust skin tone, and hide pores. According to these properties, it is more suitable for touch-up. When applying makeup, we usually have already applied base makeup and concealer, and the remaining is only to set the makeup. If you use powdered cake to set the makeup, it will waste its other functions. Most of the time, touch-up means that the makeup has been ruined. At this time, using powdered cake can quickly restore a brand new and clean makeup.
