Face powder is your saviour when your foundation shines, your concealer fades too fast, or your make-up needs to last a bit longer. In this collection, you'll find face powder, setting Powder, compact Powder, and Powder foundation for a fresh, even finish with face powder.
Face powder: what is it for?
You use face powder to set your make-up, reduce shine, and give your skin a smoother finish. It works especially well on your T-zone, under your eyes, and on spots where foundation tends to shift quickly.
You can apply powder make-up to your face in several Man ways. A transparent setting Powder doesn’t change your colour and keeps your base in place longer. A coloured compact Powder adds some extra coverage. A Powder foundation, like the Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation, combines the convenience of powder with the coverage of foundation.
Do you often have shiny skin? Then a Matte face powder usually works best. Think of the NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Mattifying Powder or the Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Powder. These powders help keep your skin Matter without the heavy make-up feel.
Want to look fresh and awake? Then a powder with a soft Glow is nicer. The Max Factor Miracle Veil RaDiant Loose Powder gives your skin a lighter, radiant finish. Perfect if you want to use powder without ending up fully matte.
Handy guide:
-
Oily skin: choose a Matte setting Powder or compact Powder.
-
Dry skin: go for a lightweight powder and apply sparingly.
-
Fine lines: use little product and focus on setting.
-
Dull skin: choose a Glow or raDiant finishing Powder.
-
Touching up on the go: compact Powder is easiest.
How to apply powder make-up on your face
Apply powder make-up to your face best in thin layers. Start with foundation, BB Cream or concealer and wait a moment for your base to set well on your skin. Then take a soft powder brush, puff, or make-up sponge.
First tap off some product on your hand or lid to avoid patches or a cakey look. Apply face powder mainly to areas that shine quickly: forehead, nose, chin, and under the eyes. Use little product and build up where needed.
If you use loose setting Powder, like Maybelline Lasting Fix Setting Powder or Revuele Loose Powder Invisible Matte, patting it on often works best. This helps your concealer stay put and prevents your base from shifting.
You can apply compact Powder lightly with a brush for a natural finish. Want more coverage? Use a sponge or puff and press the powder gently onto the skin. This is helpful if you want to blur redness, shine or uneven tone more.
For a complete make-up routine, combine face powder with bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Start with powder, then apply warm tones or Glow. This softens the blend and keeps your base neater. Want more tips? Check out the blog on the ideal make-up routine
Loose powder or compact Powder?
Choose loose powder if you want to set your make-up with a light, fine layer. Choose compact Powder if you want quick touch-ups, extra coverage, or a powder to carry in your bag.
Loose powder often has a finer texture. It feels light on the skin and is ideal for setting, baking or Matteing larger areas. Think of the MAC Studio Fix Pro Set + Blur Loose Powder for a soft-focus finish, or the Artdeco Fixing Powder if you want your foundation and concealer to stay put extra well.
Compact Powder is more practical for on-the-go. The powder is firm in a case, less messy and great for touching up shine during the day. The Maybelline Fit Me Powder is a great choice if you want a Matte finish that looks natural. The Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Powder is handy if you want more coverage and a cared-for skin look.
Unsure between transparent and coloured? Transparent powder is safe if you don’t want to change your foundation colour. Coloured powder is better if you want more evenness. When in doubt, test the colour on your jawline and check in daylight if the shade matches.
Fan of MAC? Besides loose powder, check MAC Powders for powders that help with Matteing, setting, and a more polished make-up look.

Why should I use face powder?
It’s a must to use face powder in your daily make-up routine. Powder absorbs excess oil (which mainly happens when you use foundation) and neutralises it. The powder Mattes the skin, giving your skin an even and natural look. A radiant skin is beautiful, but oily, shiny skin is something you want to avoid.
Also, powder acts as a kind of primer for your face make-up. By applying powder, your make-up stays (longer) in place. With foundation and concealer, you may notice the liquid gathers in fine lines (under your eyes or near wrinkles); powder prevents this. Your make-up look gets set in place. Face powder also adds the finishing touch to your base coverage.
What types of powder make-up can I get at haarspullen.nl?
There are many different types of face powders for various skin types. The biggest difference is between compact powder (pressed powder) and loose powder. The difference is in texture but also effect. Of course, there are differences in colour, texture, finish and coverage. What suits you depends entirely on your wishes, skin type and type of foundation.
Here are some bestsellers:
Max Factor Creme Puff Pressed Powder - A compact (covering) powder that Mattes the skin but still lets it shine a bit. Suitable for all skin types and Perfect over your day cream or foundation.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Powder - A compact powder with a very natural effect. The powder works well as a primer to keep face make-up in place.
L'Oreal Paris True Match Blendable Powder - A cream-like powder that blends easily into the skin. It makes your skin look soft and even.
What is the difference between compact powder and loose powder?
In the end, both powders serve the same purpose, but they differ quite a bit. We’ve listed the differences:
- Loose powder in your handbag isn’t very practical. Compact powder is better for touch-ups throughout the day.
- Loose powder contains fewer oils than compact powder. Loose powder is great for oily skin. Compact powder suits dry skin better.
- Loose powder creates the nicest effect in photos due to light reflection.
- With loose powder you can bake, which isn’t really possible with compact powder (want to know what baking is? Read on!)
- Compact powder often provides more coverage than loose powder and can really help cover blemishes.
Is powder make-up bad for your skin?
Using face powder has no negative effects on your skin. Powder is much lighter and airier compared to foundation, for example. However, you may want to pay attention to which make-up brand you choose. But at Haarspullen, we’ve done that work for you, so you can confidently find a powder that suits you. For all make-up products, remember: give your skin a break now and then and always remove your make-up before sleeping ;)
Which face powder colour matches my foundation?
It’s essential that your powder colour matches your foundation colour, otherwise patches are easily visible. Ensure the colour doesn’t differ or only by one shade lighter than your foundation.
Or… you choose a transparent powder :)
Which face powder suits me?
Powder comes in many different colours and forms. Which powder suits you depends on your make-up look and skin type. If you have 'normal', problem-free skin, you can wear almost any powder type. Then you might just want to choose the effect you prefer: compact, loose, matte, shiny, covering, or transparent.
Dry skin? If you have dry skin, it’s best to go for compact powder. Generally, compact powder contains more oils than loose powder. It’s best to choose a powder with a creamy texture. This will make your skin look cared for and even.
Oily skin? If you have oily skin, loose powder is better. Unlike compact powder, loose powder has less oil. It absorbs oil and keeps the skin matte.
Many blemishes? If you have many blemishes, choose a covering powder that hides them. To prevent shine that highlights blemishes, loose powder with less oil is better.
How do I apply face powder?
#1 If you have very shiny skin (almost sweaty), it’s helpful to pat your face dry a bit before applying powder.
#2 Make sure your skin is clean and moisturised with day cream, primer, and/or foundation.
#3 Apply powder bit by bit and blend well. Don’t overload your brush; build up gradually. For applying powder, use a special powder brush. This gives the best effect.
Important: apply powder as lightly as possible. If you have dry patches on your face, try to put as little powder there as possible — only the necessary amount.
What is baking?
Baking is a technique for applying powder make-up. It’s very popular with make-up artists and professionals. Baking creates a Matte look that lasts longer and defines contours more clearly.
You bake with loose (transparent) powder. Apply a thick layer of powder on the areas you want to “highlight”: under your eyes, chin, cheekbones, and nose bridge. Leave it on for a few minutes, then brush off the excess. Baking keeps foundation and concealer in place better and longer.
