Well, the names kinda tell you what they are. Loose powder is powder that moves freely; like talcum powder. Pressed powder is ';pressed'; into a compact; therefore it doesn't move.





With a loose powder, you can get more onto your brush, puff, or whatever you use to apply powder with. Thus you can get more on your face. With pressed powder, you're able to get less onto your brush or puff. What's the difference between pressed powder and loose powder?
It's not thicker but it is pressed in to a compact and sometimes tends to go on thicker. Loose powder comes in a ';pot'; and has to be brushed one. I like loose powder better because it tends to look more natural and doesn't make my face break out.
