Below are 5 tips for getting it right when choosing your face powder:
1 – Color of face powder
The first step is to define the color of the face powder, if the tone is wrong there is no point in using the most expensive powder and from the best brand, as the makeup will not look good.
Therefore, you should not be very careful when choosing the color, to ensure that the makeup is as natural as possible.
Just like concealer and foundation, powder should also be as close to your skin tone as possible. If in doubt, however, the tip is to opt for one tone higher, never lower.

2 – Define its usefulness
When choosing a face powder, you also need to keep your objective in mind, believe me, this is fundamental and will make all the difference in the finish.
If you want a more natural and soft effect, choose those with a satin or illuminating finish. If you just want to hide oiliness, you shouldn’t opt for highlighters. If you just want to define the contour, you should purchase all shades of the same finish, to obtain a more natural effect, as the shades blend into the makeup.

3 – Powder texture
Compact powder is preferred by most, precisely because of its ease of application, and can be done with the traditional pad. While loose powder needs to be applied with a brush, making it much more complicated to use.

4 – Face powder packaging
When buying, be very careful when choosing, never opt for a package just because it is the prettiest, you need to make sure it is resistant, as we carry our makeup up and down, and if it is fragile, it runs the risk to break and make a mess in our bags.
