What primer works best with powder foundation?

All of our primers work great with powder foundations, but our best selling primer is our Oil-Free Tinted Primer. It evens out any tone or texture concerns, making it the perfect canvas for foundation.

What is pressed mineral powder foundation?

A pressed powder foundation is a semi-solid powder that’s used as a base or foundation as you would a liquid or cream foundation. It can also be used to set liquid or cream foundations too.

What is the difference between loose and pressed powder foundation?

The main difference between loose and pressed powder foundations is their formula. As pressed powder is more densely packed than a loose powder, it provides more flexible, buildable coverage, from sheer to full. Loose powder foundation is super lightweight and provides a lighter, sheerer coverage than pressed powder. Both can be used to set liquid or cream foundations to blur any remaining imperfections.
