PRESSED POWDER

Pressed Powder vs Loose Powder — Which Should You Use?

  • Pressed Powder: Compact, portable, and mess-free — the undisputed choice for on-the-go touch-ups. Perfect for handbag and desk drawer
  • Loose Powder: Superior for initial setting at home — lighter, more seamless finish but impractical for carrying
  • The ideal combination: Set with loose powder at home, carry pressed powder for midday touch-ups in SG's heat

Types of Pressed Powder

  • Translucent Setting Powder (Pressed): Sets makeup without adding colour — works on all skin tones
  • Tinted Pressed Powder: Sheer to light coverage while setting — available in a range of shades
  • Two-Way Powder: Used dry over makeup or wet as a foundation for light coverage — the most versatile pressed powder format
  • Mineral Pressed Powder: Natural mineral ingredients — gentle on sensitive skin with a natural finish
  • HD Pressed Powder: Ultra-fine milled for a camera-ready, pore-minimising finish

How to Touch Up with Pressed Powder in SG's Heat

  • Step 1: Before powdering, blot excess oil with a tissue or blotting paper — prevents building cakey layers
  • Step 2: Press (don't swipe) powder onto shiny areas with the included puff — the T-zone first
  • Step 3: Buff lightly with a clean brush to blend edges for an even finish
  • Step 4: Finish with a light mist of setting spray to refresh and lock the powder in place
