A powder on top of the foundation?

Question

should i use a powder on top of a liquid foundation such as clinique Blended Face Powder.

What is the difference between wearing the powder and not wearing the powder?

also, this type of powder is not pressed, it is just loose.

do you think loose or pressed powder is better on top of foundation?

Answer 1

Well i just use the powder because its better for your skin cause the foundation will make your skin break out i use neutrogena hyperallergenic pressed powder and it covers my shineyness and little bit of rednessand is still good for my skin. but yes a loose powder will work for over foundations.

Answer 2

a powder will help to set the liquid foundation, so that it lasts longer.

it is recommended, so i would sayy you should.

Answer 3

i usually put on a little bit of foundation, some concealer

&& bronzer, or light reflecting powder on my nose &&

my cheeks. i think loose powder makes you look a little dry.

but that's just me. i would put a little powder on over the foundation.

just so it doesn't look weird but don't over do it.

good luck. =]

Answer 4

Well, you wear powder on top of foundation casue it levels ur skin tone. And powder is to get rid of shinny skin. I use foundation first, then loose powder, then some bronzer. To answer ur Q, yes you should.  

Answer 5

i do sometimes.

but my powder looks extremely light on top of my foundation so i have to be careful about it.

Answer 6

I like Urban Decay's De-slick Mattifying Powder (from Boots/Debenhams/online) as it isn't tested on animals, its colourless and really fine. It just absorbs any shine on your face, whether you are wearing makeup or not.

My foundation is Urban Decay too and it does the job of evening my skin out etc, so the powder is just to seal it and tone down shine

I think its better than coloured powders as sometimes they don't match your skintone or can look heavy. If you go for a loose powder you need a big kabuki style brush to avoid getting a caked on look or using too much :D

Answer 7

powder helps foundation and concealer stay on longer. it also helps get rid of shine and redness.
