The two most common types of face powders come in loose and pressed forms. Both offer a wide range of coverage options, from sheer to full coverage. It all depends on the look you’re trying to achieve and the skin concerns you wish to address.

Face powder is designed to deliver a skin-perfecting finish, whether you choose to wear it alone or to set the rest of your makeup. Translucent setting powder is typically used for oil control and to blur the look of pores. Highly pigmented powder formulas that offer buildable medium to full coverage can help to cover a variety of skin imperfections including redness and other types of uneven skin tone.

The best way to apply face powder is with a rounded and tapered powder brush that’s designed to pick up the perfect amount of product. You’ll get the most flawless finish by using gentle, sweeping motions to dust the powder all over your face.

The best face powder for dry skin is a hydrating face powder that contains skin-softening ingredients like silk, grape seed and aloe. All IT Cosmetics face powders are designed not to crease or crack, so you don’t have to worry about them settling into fine lines and wrinkles.
