TAKE QUIZ

Loose
Gives the most thorough powder coverage. Use a puff to give your face the most matte layer. Use a brush to achieve a lighter, more blended layer.

Dip Trick:
Sprinkle loose powder onto a clean, flat surface like a tissue or a mirror. Then dip the brush in this, instead of the container, to get the right amount on the brush and control spill.

Pro Tip:
To avoid getting powder in your eye, separate a double-ply tissue, place one ply over closed eyes, and powder.

Sponge Solutions:
For the thickest coverage, apply loose powder with a CoverGirl Sponge Wedge.

Night Moves:
For a reflective, luminous nighttime effect, add a touch of Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadow in Champagne to powder and mix.

Pressed
Doesn't deliver the intensity of loose powder, but is much more versatile. Toss a pressed powder compact in your purse or pack for midday touch-ups.

Clean Up Crew:
If you apply pressed powder with a puff, replace it regularly. If you use a brush, wash it frequently (learn how here). Just remember to keep it clean-with continuous use, oils build up which can affect your finished look.

Make It Last:
Moisture and humidity can cause clumping and caking of pressed powder. Don't keep yours in the bathroom.

Slick Situations:
Attack mid-day oiliness with pressed powder by blotting shiny areas with a tissue first to avoid a cakey finish and an oily puff.

Easy Breezy Style:
On casual days, when you want to go without foundation, a little pressed powder helps make your skin look more flawless and helps keep the shine away.

Liquid Powder
A creamy foundation formula that looks like a pressed powder compact.

Liquid Powder gives buildable, blendable coverage with a soft, powdery finish.
