Q&A for How to Apply Pressed Powder Foundation Makeup

Pressed powder over foundation will give a heavy coverage. I wouldn't recommend this combination for daytime wear but it can be a great for creating a flawless finish for evening or photos.

Pressed powder is powder foundation. Foundation can also come in cream or liquid formulas.

Yes, you can. Pressed powder is specifically designed to work as foundation.

If you have dry skin, use a cream or liquid foundation, as powder foundations will only dry your skin out more. However, if you have oily skin, a powder or pressed powder foundation can help absorb oil.

You should typically go for one that's about one shade darker than your natural skin tone. The powder will appear lighter once blended onto your face than it looks in the container.

Yes. In the morning, after washing your face, apply the foundation and concealer, then apply the powder.

Yes, of course. The result may not be as even as with a brush, but there is not a huge difference.

You can also use a sponge, or even a cotton ball.

Use scar first, then spot. The scar is probably less heavy and used to cover larger areas, and can be patted in with hardly any visibility. The spot should go on second so there's no danger of it rubbing off when you apply other products on top.

Both the matte version and loose version are $6.94. It's accessible, affordable, and similar to many high-end products. You will save money when using this instead of their more expensive counterparts.
