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.
I use a kinda fluffy puff/sponge
i would use a big fluffy kabuki brush or a puff

  • 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.



    What should I wear under my pressed powder?

    A clear acne medication, or a blemish-healing concealer, etc.? I'm 14. Please give good suggestions! I break out when I wear JUST powder, so I need something underneath that will help.What should I wear under my pressed powder?
    You don't need powder. You need to get some tinted moisturizer and call it a day. Its not heavy, its good for your skin, and it won't make you look old. Trust me.

    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!!!!!!!!!
