Loose vs. Pressed Powder

Clients ask if I prefer, as a freelance makeup artist in Orlando, loose or pressed powders. Personally, I prefer loose. I spent an entire day crushing my pressed powders to make them loose. The advantage of loose powder, for me, is flexibility and control. I can get more pigment on my brush with a mere dip, and I can control how much I want.

The downside is fallout and messes. Another advantage I have by using loose powders is using them as pigments in fluids, such as foundations and airbrush makeup, to create custom colors and special effects. If not mixed properly, the fluids may have powdery after effects that are messy.

I enjoy creating custom colors to match my mood. Most often I prefer bright, bold colors such as lime, lemon, aqua, and raspberry. Sometimes it is difficult to find such airbrush colors or lipsticks. Matte shadows usually lack slip, making it quite a task to grab on the brush or mix. Crushing the color makes it more versatile.

Pigments and powders can intensify lipsticks and emollient products as well as make them less likely to “run.” If mixing with fluids, mix well to avoid the powder settling at the bottom under the fluid. For beginners and non artisans, I recommend pressed powder. It is less messy.

NSFW @OCCMAKEUP Lip Tar

See how bold and sassy this Lip Tar is? A tiny half bead covered all of both lips with leftovers. The color went on smoothly and had a glossy glow that contributed to the fullness of the lips. The face was prepped with typical eye cream and moisturizer. OCC Foundation in Y3 was sprayed very lightly. The OCC site says only six to eight drops are needed, but it took twenty to fully cover my face. I find that even Dinair, Temptu Pro, and MAC also require 15-20 drops. Amount of drops also depend on how much space there is to cover, how much coverage is needed, and desired effect. If darker colors are used, less product may be needed. OCC was best applied on the lowest setting of my Dinair Mini Compressor. OCC is very thin, so it requires minimal low air pressure. It feels like a cool mist just as Dinair does. Three drops of Hush gave a healthy, sun flushed glow against tan skin. Bronze was used to contour the cheeks. Hush was also sprayed on both top eyelids. It was then set with a light, sparkling pink Urban Decay eyeshadow. Mushroom was used with a pencil brush in the crease. Perversion powder shadow lined the top lids. More photos to follow.
