Specifically I'm talking about MAC Studio Fix Powder + Foundation. I use a large brush (kind of like a kabuki brush). Should I be buffing the product into the skin using circular motions, or do I just lightly sweep it over my face as if I was using a loose powder? Any tips would be great!What's the best way to apply pressed powder foundation?
Are you using both Fix powder and Fix foundation together? The Fix powder is supposed to be used as foundation alone. If you use the liquid Fix you should use the Select Sheer powder with it. I just sweep it across my face tho.What's the best way to apply pressed powder foundation?
brushing motion as it evenly distributes the powder.you should put it on like you do with blusher.
If buff it in hard it circular motions using a Kabuki Brush.
I just brush it over my face as if it were a loose powder.

What is the difference between bronzer and pressed powder?
do you use them @ the same time or seperatly? pros, cons, ect. Also, what is the difference between concealer and cover up? thanks always!What is the difference between bronzer and pressed powder?
Bronzer gives you a flush of color, and it's kind of like blush, only it's more natural, not pink or anything. You apply it where the sun should hit your face (cheeks, forehead, etc.) You can use it with pressed powder, but it doesn't matter, and most bronzers come in pressed powder form.
Concealer is used for spot treatment and cover up is used all over your face for hiding blemishes. Apply concealer first and you'll need less cover-up.What is the difference between bronzer and pressed powder?
Bronzer is a powder that is meant to give you a sun-kissed look. You use it after you put on all your makeup. You can apply it with a large powder brush across your nose - cheeks - even on your chest. Basically anywhere you want to look tanner.
Pressed powder is what you put over you foundation to set your makeup or what girls use thru out the day to absorb oil. Yes these two are used seperately. Both are good but for different reasons.
Concealer and coverup are the same things.
Bronzers can come in compressed powder form, and compressed powder is exactly what it sounds like: it is powder that is tightly compressed. Bronzer can come in compressed powder, loose powder, and lotion forms. All of these, compressed powder, loose powder, and lotions can come in all different skin tone colors, as well.
And ';cover up'; is just a generic term that can be used interchangeably with concealer and foundation.
you can use them at the same time. The pressed powder covers your acne while the bronzers highlite your face and give it a healthy glow. But don't use the cover up unless you really need it. If you have naturally clear skin, it just makes your face look painted on.

Can I use Johnson's baby powder instead of loose or pressed powder over my make up?
Will it do the same thing? Will it make a difference which one I use?Can I use Johnson's baby powder instead of loose or pressed powder over my make up?
ummm it will make you white. The powder has to match your skin tone.Can I use Johnson's baby powder instead of loose or pressed powder over my make up?
Yes. If you're naturally pale, then baby powder (talc) works well as face powder. Talc is the main ingredient of most face powders anyway, so if they irritate you or dry your skin too much, baby powder will do the same.
Most face powders are too dark for my skin, so I use talc. It doesn't look caked on or fake, but it does dry skin out, so I'd recommend a good moisturizer first and not using it everyday.
it might make you look a little pale :/
and i think its alot finer than loose or pressed powder so it may just sort of come away really easily.
the smell would also annoy me a bit to be honest :)
you face would look cakey, like a vampire or goth.
if your pale as paper hope i helped:)

I dropped my pressed powder compact and it got into the carpet! How can I get it out?!?
I have the flat industrial carpet in my office, and I was touching up my makeup and dropped the compact and it broke up into pieces and got ground into the carpet. Does anyone know how I can get it out?!?!I dropped my pressed powder compact and it got into the carpet! How can I get it out?!?
Vaccuum it well. If it doesn't come out, try a small amount of rubbing alcohol and dab at it with a dry absorbent cloth.I dropped my pressed powder compact and it got into the carpet! How can I get it out?!?
Vacuum well then try the Tide stain removing pen; it works wonders!
I can suggest you use Sellotape to lift the top layer of powder off, then wipe with a sponge and a little dish washing liquid, or even better hair shampoo cleans carpets very well . rinse well.

How do you prefer to apply pressed powder?
I usually use loose powder, I shied away from pressed because of the unnatural look, but it is really convenient and great for traveling [something I do a lot]. Would you recommend a sponge, brush, or cotton balls? I am not sure, but I think the sponge caused me to break out a little on my chin. What size should the brush be? How should I use the cotton balls? Stroke up or down?
Thanks in advance :)How do you prefer to apply pressed powder?
Using a brush is the best way, in my opinion.
Use downward strokes when applying, a medium sized brush would be fine.
Nothing too big or fluffy because then it would just go everywhere.How do you prefer to apply pressed powder?
For me, the sponge-brush they give you with the compact always breaks out my face and makes the lines more noticeable. I prefer a long/loose bristled brush, because it sill gives the same great coverage, while allowing my skin to breathe. :]
I like using a big, fluffy brush. Whenever I use a sponge it looks caky. I've never tried cotton balls, but it doesn't sound like it would work.
Kabuki brush
I don't know the answer of your question. I googled but I couldn't find any clear answer for you. Sorry! Hope others can help you.

What's the difference between pressed powder and loose powder?
is pressed powder thicker or something?What's the difference between pressed powder and loose powder?
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.
pressed powder is pressed together in a compact.
and loose powder is just loose.
Pressed powder is thicker than loose powder.
Loose powder is better for your skin esp if you have oily skin.

I love using a pressed powder, but you want to avoid any powders that contain talc if you have sensitive skin.
Urban Decay's De-Slick Mattifying powder uses rice powder instead of talc to absorb oil. Blotting papers might also be a better way to set your makeup and keep yourself shine free without irritating your sensitive skin.
I would most defiantely without a doubt recommend Laura Geller make-up for EVERYTHING! Her Balance N Brighten is absoluely the best as is the rest of her makeup. It's loaded with botanicals that are great for the skin and all of her products are oil-free and are designed to correct skin and cover up flaws and WILL NOT break out skin or make acne worse! in fact it really helps acne! go to her website and try to locate her Balance N Brighten. It comes in regular an fair.
What ever you do... DO NOT USE MINERAL MAKEUP!!!!!!!!!

u know estee lauder is a wonderful comapany and has the best products out there their sister brand is clinique and its known for sensitive skin products try their pressed powders along with their 3 step it will help u with ur acne so it wont come back

What is the absolute best pressed powder foundation?
And what is the best lengthening+separating mascara?What is the absolute best pressed powder foundation?
I'd never been able to wear powder foundation until I discovered Mark Cosmetics Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation. Since I have freckles and sometimes acne to cover, I needed something that would cover evenly and stay put for at least 6 hours. If you're looking for something similar, this is the answer. It has amazingly natural coverage and doesn't feel sticky at all like most liquid foundations can. You can check it out at http://www.mymarkstore.com/clindstrom
I saw that someone else listed the Blu Ray Pressed Powder, which is excellent as well. It provides good, even coverage and stays on for about 6 hours. It all depends on the amount you're willing to spend. Blu Ray goes for about 35 bucks and Mark goes for about 8 bucks. I have both, but only use the Blu Ray for special occasions. As for mascara, it seems that waterproof formulas go on with less clumping and hold curl/length all day. I have two favorites: Cover Girl Lash Blast and Mark Cosmetics Lash Splash. These both have awesome applicators that separate lashes and add incredible length. They also stay put all day - especially good formulas for hot humid weather. Hope this helps you out!What is the absolute best pressed powder foundation?

What is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
What one is easier and less messy to apply? Which one rinses easier or are they both the same...just wonderingWhat is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
Loose powder is exactly that...loose powder, that'll spill everywhere unless you're careful! Pressed powder is the powder all pressed together, so its more ';solid';. Loose powder can be applied with a brush, pressed powder you usually need a little sponge. I like the loose powder better, because you can spread on as much or little as you like, and it stays looking natural - that is, you cant get any streaks or anything because you're just dusting it on. The pressed powder on the other hand is a lot thicker, can clog your pores, and hence lead to bad skin. Also, it can look streaky and patchy unless you apply it very evenly (which is harder to do than with the loose powder). That said, pressed powder can look really good too. its just thicker, you need to sure you wash it all off properly so you dont get clogged pores. Hope all that helps!!What is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
Actually, pressed powder makeups are NOT good for your skin. It clogs pores easily and is a great harbor for bacteria.
I use both: loose powder is messy so is best kept at home. To reduce the mess I use a big brush and having dipped it into the powder I tap the brush on the lid to remove the excess before using. This stops the powder going everywhere whilst leaving enough to blot my makeup. Another good reason is that it is much cheaper than pressed powder and you get much more of it in the average pot.
I find pressed powder handy for when I travel or in my handbag to touch up my makeup when I am at work. Some powders are creamier than others, so you need to find one that suits you - obviously creamy ones are more likely to clog, drier ones or those sold as non-comedogenic should clog less so. Also have a supply of powder puffs and change them regularly, or better still buy a travel powder brush in a case. The latter has the advantage in that it will make the powder last longer and is as effective as a puff on your skin.
Finally, there are health concerns about talc which is used in powders. If you have concerns choose one without talc.
lose powder is way easier to apply you should try bare essentials. it fabulous
loose powder is like i.d. bare minerals.. its like a true powder.. kinda like powdered sugar. its more messy to apply, but they both rinse the same. pressed powder is like in those little compacts with the white sponge type thing. the loose powder stuff, especially id bare minerals is much better for your skin.
I love loose powder! It wont clog your pores. Pressed on the other hand does. Loose just sits on top of ur skin removing shine! It rinses of just the same i think or maybe loose cleans easier since they dont add and oils or stuff like so it wont stick into ur pores.
Loose powder is exactly that...loose powder, that'll spill everywhere unless you're careful! Pressed powder is the powder all pressed together, so its more ';solid';. Loose powder can be applied with a brush, pressed powder you usually need a little sponge. I like the loose powder better, because you can spread on as much or little as you like, and it stays looking natural - that is, you cant get any streaks or anything because you're just dusting it on. The pressed powder on the other hand is a lot thicker, can clog your pores, and hence lead to bad skin. Also, it can look streaky and patchy unless you apply it very evenly (which is harder to do than with the loose powder). That said, pressed powder can look really good too. its just thicker, you need to sure you wash it all off properly so you dont get clogged pores. Hope all that helps!!What is the difference between loose powder and pressed powder makeup?
Actually, pressed powder makeups are NOT good for your skin. It clogs pores easily and is a great harbor for bacteria.
I use both: loose powder is messy so is best kept at home. To reduce the mess I use a big brush and having dipped it into the powder I tap the brush on the lid to remove the excess before using. This stops the powder going everywhere whilst leaving enough to blot my makeup. Another good reason is that it is much cheaper than pressed powder and you get much more of it in the average pot.
I find pressed powder handy for when I travel or in my handbag to touch up my makeup when I am at work. Some powders are creamier than others, so you need to find one that suits you - obviously creamy ones are more likely to clog, drier ones or those sold as non-comedogenic should clog less so. Also have a supply of powder puffs and change them regularly, or better still buy a travel powder brush in a case. The latter has the advantage in that it will make the powder last longer and is as effective as a puff on your skin.
Finally, there are health concerns about talc which is used in powders. If you have concerns choose one without talc.

What's the best way to keep pressed powder eye shadow in good condition?
I just bought some expensive eye shadow, and will probably not use it up for a long time. What are tips/tricks for using and storing that will help it last longer? Also, will storing eyeshadows in compacts/palettes make them dry out, since you're often opening the compact, but not using every shadow?
Thanks!What's the best way to keep pressed powder eye shadow in good condition?
keep all of your expensive pressed powder cosmetic in a air tight container and place a square of tissue inbetween teh lid and the powder. i think that the clean and clear oil absorbing sheets works well, because it absorbs the oil produced by the powder by heat without getting all stickyWhat's the best way to keep pressed powder eye shadow in good condition?
Store the powder eye shadow compact laying FLAT, and put a tissue in between the compact lid and the eye shadow.
Dont carry it in your purse! All my eyeshadows are all messed up.....but hey i still use them
Don't get it wet or leave it in the bathroom while your showering.
just keep them in their own case inside another air tight container and in a cool, dark, dry place (like a drawer). expensive eye shadow is usually very good quality and made with good ingredients so opening the case once a day or so for a few seconds will certainly not ruin the texture or make it crack. :)guy myspace

What is the best way to use your pressed powder when it breaks?
I have a pressed powder compact that was dropped and broken. Now every time I open the compact little chunks go everywhere. When I try to use it, I find it difficult to get it on my make-up brush. Any Suggestions?What is the best way to use your pressed powder when it breaks?
Break it some more.
Store it in a closeable container.
Use it as a loose powder. *woot* :)What is the best way to use your pressed powder when it breaks?
Even though your compact is broken, you did not lose the quality of the pigment. If I was in that situation, I would place the remaining bits in the middle of a paper towel, close the paper towel, and continue crushing it into a powdery substance. At that point you can use it as a loose sheer powder and just dust it onto your face. Good luck!
I would recomend purchasing another one. If it is split in a few big pieces, then I'm sure that you could manage with that for awhile. If it is shattered, I think that there is no other option than getting another one. You may be able to use the shattered powder at home in the morning, but if you go out, buy another one.
i had the same problem and i turned it into a lose powder foundation...i collected it on a napkin and smashed it until it was really fine (it may take a while) and then i put it into my empty id bare minerals container and used it as a mineral foundatioin.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Just don't use water like the first gal told ya, because it will harbor bacteria. I know what I'm talking about. I'm afraid there's not a good way to use it anymore other than make it ';loose'; and wear it with a kabuki brush. You know ';swirl tap off the excess and buff on the face';
You could always finish breaking up and grind the powder into a loose powder. Use with a brush. It just won't travel conveniently like your compact did.
You can chop the whole thing up and use it as loose powder.
Never drop your make up! Some people claim to know how to fix it, but it's never the same. I'm sorry, but you should just buy a new compact.
add a little water to it and press it all back together again and 2morrow it should be working fine =)

What's the difference between loose and pressed powder?
Do they have different purposes and what will they do to your skin? Does on clog your pores more or what?What's the difference between loose and pressed powder?
Lose powder is in a jar, and it's like baby powder feeling.
Pressed powder is usually in a little compact.
They both do the same thing.What's the difference between loose and pressed powder?

What's the difference between liquid foundation, powder foundation, loose powder, & pressed powder?
I have oliy sink around the t-zone so what kind should i use?What's the difference between liquid foundation, powder foundation, loose powder, %26amp; pressed powder?
WELL.
liquid foundation is usually best suited for people who have normal or dry skin, since liquids tend to melt off/into pores on people with oilier skin (such as myself). Coverage can be anywhere from sheer to full depending on the brand and the thickness of the liquid, although with liquids and oily skin I find that cakiness always follows after a few hours of wear, unless you are constantly removing the makeup and redoing it lol.
powder foundation is great for oily skin, or combo, and basically gives you a lighter application and is better for withstanding oily skin. Usually they don't give the best coverage, at least in my opinion. A great way around this though is to use a mineral powder foundation, as it gives similar coverage as traditional foundations but without as many harmful effects on oily skin. Brands to check out are Everyday Minerals, Meow Cosmetics, LA Minerals.. I've only tried Everyday Minerals, and find that I LOVE the coverage but without my sunscreen, moisturizer and primer, the makeup shifts a lot on my nose and chin, and now it just gets a bit shiny.
Loose powder and pressed powder are basically powders used to set your foundation. I prefer loose over pressed, although loose is messier.I find that loose powders last longer and are also easier in terms of controlling how much is applied to your face.
For your skin, I would suggest to try out some oil free primers. You could try Smashbox Photofinish Light, and I've also tried Makeup Forever's HD one, although it didn't work well for shine control, just helped with making my makeup not really shift at all. You can also try primers in powder form from online companies like Everyday MInerals or Fyrinnae. I'd personally get a sample kit from Everyday Minerals (gives you 3 foundations and they have 4 different kinds of coverage, and you can choose a concealer and a blush, and you only pay the shipping) and also get a sample of their start to finish powder, either rice or regular one. And also Fyrinnae makes a rice powder primer, so I would say maybe order both, or try one first then if it doesn't work try th eother. Depending on where you live, shipping could take a while. Fyrinnae right now is going to take longer than usual.
Hope this helped somewhat lol.What's the difference between liquid foundation, powder foundation, loose powder, %26amp; pressed powder?
As a professional makeup artist I can highly recommend the latest rave in mineral liquid foundations. Bee Luscious Mineral Photo Touch Foundation and bee luscious liquid minerals are the most amazing foundations you can use. Google bee luscious and be amazed.
This product gives you the best of all worlds a smooth liquid with even application that turns to powdery finish.
Powders are great for added coverage and to mattify but with the two products I mentioned its all in one or you can add the matching pressed powder for added coverage and SPF.

What's the difference between loose and pressed powder?
I currently used foundation and pressed powder. What's the difference between loose and pressed though? Can you use foundation with loose, does loose look unnatural, what?What's the difference between loose and pressed powder?
Loose just shows up more and reduces shine even more than pressed powder. i believe it has better coverage too (in my opinion) . I use loose over my foundation when i get ready in the morning, then during the course of the day if my face gets shiny i just put pressed powder on because it's a hassle to carry the loose powder around, it will get everywhere and make a mess.. pressed powder comes in a handy little compact with a mirror as well.What's the difference between loose and pressed powder?
the biggest differences are portability and application.
pressed powders are easy to travel with. loose are better left at home.
pressed powders are usually applied with a sponge. this gives a slightly heavier coverage than loose powders applied with a brush or puff.
as long as you don't apply too much, they really both give about the same effect.
Nothing other than the form. Pressed powder comes in a compact and tuft to apply it with and you press it on after you have applied your liquid foundation or on your bare skin; depending upon your preference. Loose powder is applied with a brush or puff and then swept down over the face and lightly tapped on.
Pressed powder is more convenient to carry around with you for touch ups during the day.
i don't see a difference in the ay they look at all. pressed powder is cleaner and doesn't get all over the place.
pressed powder is basically a compact. the powder is compressed into a tin. a good example is covergirl
loose powder is powder in a plastic container that is not in any shape or form. a good example is bare escentuals
yes, you can use foundation with loose powder.
if you rub the loose powder really well into your skin, it does not look unnatural. i prefer loose powder because pressed powder can break easily!
The only thing I have to add is that some pressed powders will ';cake'; on your foundation. I only use pressed powder for touch ups when I'm out and about.
I use foundation and loose ,it looks smoother because you have more control on how much you use ,I also carry a compact of pressed powder in my purse for touch ups during the day.Barb w,
Pressed powder is more packed in, and sometimes easier or less messy to apply. Loose powder is more dusty and kinda messy.
Loose usually looks pretty natural, but it really depends what kind of loose powder you use.
