So, how to choose powder and foundation:
- The most important rule is that tonal products should be selected based on skin type. So owners of oily skin type should opt for matting options, those who have skin prone to dryness - moisturizing fluid powders and the same foundation, with a combination skin type, it is better to stop at tonal products that even out tone and at the same time matte the skin . Properly selected tonal products - cream and powder - will help create the effect of a naturally even tone. Ignoring this rule, at best, will spoil the whole impression of makeup, and at worst, it will lead to skin problems.
- In makeup, the base is important! No matter how you mask skin imperfections, no matter how competently you apply the tone, all the same, after a while, all beauty products will gather in the folds of the face and indicate mimic wrinkles. Therefore, make it a rule to always moisturize the skin with a cream before applying the tone, but rather use a makeup base. It will help to even out the relief of the skin and thereby hide minor flaws in the form of a slight network of wrinkles, and also allow decorative products to lie on the face evenly.
- Well, directly main aspect our today's study - choose the tone wisely. The wrong shade of foundation can create the effect of a mask on the face, spoil its contour and, worst of all, add extra years.
So, with the base and specialization of tonal products by skin type, everything is clear. And how to choose the color of powder for the face. We will talk about this in more detail below.
Applying the base can be done in several ways, brush and sponge is what is missing. However, for Lucy Caldas The best way pass the base - with the help of brushes. “It covers pores better and sticks to the skin better, in addition to spreading the product more evenly,” he says.
Rick Silva points out that for the eye area, applying foundation with your fingers is best, and the rest of the face with a brush. The sponge is recommended only for those who have acne, the makeup artist advises. For him, there is no difference in applicability depending on the type of base.
How to choose powder for your complexion
The choice of shade of face powder is important, as well as the choice of foundation color. The main purpose of the powder is to matte the skin and fix the makeup, but the pigment of the powder, although not as intense as that of the foundation, leaves its noticeable imprint on the makeup. Let's consider separately each case, how to choose the tone of the powder: with and without foundation.
Learn from bloggers how to prepare your skin
After choosing the base, it is important to learn how to prepare the perfect skin. The foundation is one of the important steps to make the skin more uniform and eliminate some imperfections. Some tutorials with bloggers teach tricks and how to pass the base and leave the skin natural and beautiful at the same time.
Blogger teaches how to prepare leather for Everyday life, with national products. She applies the base with her hands great advice for those who do not want to invest in brushes. Lou Ferrees is a blogger and makeup artist, and he knows a lot of tips to always get it right when preparing the skin and going through the base. This makes it easier to find leather and natural products. The application of the base is done with a brush and this is explained in the video because he prefers this way of conveying the product.
How to choose a face powder according to the tone of the foundation
Today, powder is allowed to be used as an independent product, if the complexion is perfect, and the skin does not need to be corrected for imperfections. But if you cannot boast of the uniformity of the natural tone of your face, or if your skin needs to hide a number of annoying troubles from prying eyes - pimples, redness, signs of fatigue under the eyes - then you can’t do without foundation.
Perfect skin for her best advice for the perfect makeover. It applies foundation with a sponge and teaches the best technique to set make-up and leaves the skin beautiful and illuminated. Facial powder is also one of the most questionable to use. This is because the types of products available on the market are plentiful, and the possibilities of use also go beyond simply eliminating the brightness of the skin.
Facial powder - great way finish makeup. Even though it looks simple and doesn't tend to evoke big contrasts or is immediately perceived on the face, the powder can make all the difference in makeup. To do this, the application must be made to "blend" into the skin for a natural look, regardless of the type or purpose of the product.

How to choose powder for foundation? Everything is simple here - the powder should completely repeat the shade of the cream. Ideally, you should use foundation and powder from the same manufacturer and the same series, then there will be no discrepancies in tone. If the powder and foundation are not “relatives”, then try to choose the powder that matches the shade of the foundation as much as possible or, in extreme cases, a tone lighter.
In this process, it is important to figure out which product is best for you. One of the main differences between powder modes is compact powder and loose powder. A compact powder, perhaps best known, is one that shrinks in the package, almost in solid form, and separates little by little on contact with a brush or sponge. This type of product has larger particles and generally provides more coverage.
A loose powder is one that comes packaged already with the consistency of a powder. For this reason, the product particles tend to be thinner, which also creates a smoother finish on the skin. In addition, the consistency makes it difficult to transport loose powder - it is easy to lose most of the contents every time the package is loaded and opened in different places. Therefore, the most appropriate is that the compact powder is your everyday companion in the bag and it can help beauty treatments throughout the day to refresh appearance makeup.
If you can’t find a powder that perfectly repeats faces or foundation, choose shades of powder that will be one tone lighter. When applied to the skin or foundation, the powder always gives a darker shade, and if it is a compact version, then the shading features of the powder will be twice as noticeable.
When choosing powder for foundation of a non-related brand, it is not at all necessary to focus on the cream itself; your natural skin tone will be suitable as a “reference”. And all because the foundation should be chosen to perfectly repeat the complexion. Forget about compromises. Choose a foundation that is one tone darker or lighter colors face is an outdated rule. Only a color that exactly matches the complexion. It is this approach that will avoid the appearance of unpainted borders in the neck and ears.
Different products, different functionality. Check out what it means and how it's used! "It's also called opaque or anti-reflective and can be brushed on in areas that are more oily to neutralize brightness," Eliete points out. This is a product indicated for those who want to give the skin a velvety finish by reducing natural shine and oiliness, especially in the T-zone - chin, nose and forehead.
Compact or loose, this type of powder should be applied thinly to complete the look; that is, only after all other products. To ensure results throughout the day, carry mattifying powder in your bag and retouch when you feel your skin starting to rub again.
How to choose the right tone of powder without using foundation
If you can afford light coverage in the form of a weightless powder veil, then here you should be guided by slightly different selection rules.

Depending on the purpose of using the powder, there will be different approaches to its selection. So if you are going to give a general tone to your face with the help of powder, then you should choose a powder that matches your complexion, or is slightly lighter than your skin. How to choose a shade of powder so that it matches your skin tone as much as possible? Apply test material to the bridge of your nose. It is here that skin color is least exposed to the sun and chiaroscuro does not play so actively on it. If the applied powder does not stand out on the skin or highlights it a little, then this is your option.
A translucent powder should also be applied as the last step in makeup to give the final touch to the result. Its function is to give an anti-reflective coating and a fixing effect to other products while maintaining the color of the makeup. Since it does not add coverage, the translucent powder is often white in color and works well with any skin tone.
A powder primer should be the first product in makeup preparation, helping to prep the skin and provide more hold for other products. When cleansing and moisturizing the skin, apply the primer to the entire surface of the face and only then proceed to the next steps, including other powders.
If the tone of the face is perfect, and the powder is needed only for matting, then you can use the universal option - colorless powder. Do not be afraid to apply it on the face, it is completely transparent and will not distort the skin tone.
But with foundation, such a powder should be used with caution - and applied only to areas that are more prone to sweating. There is a risk that colorless powder applied over foundation will give the face a gray tint.
The primer has a moisturizing and protective effect. It closes pores, reduces oiliness, and prepares the skin to receive the rest of the makeup, with more hold. The base powder can replace the use of liquid foundations, creams or sticks. This product should be applied shortly after primer and works to homogenize the skin by adding more coverage than other types of powder. Because of its dry consistency, it is a great alternative for those with oily or combination skin.
It is suitable for normal to combination skin as it helps contain oil. In dry and mature skin, it can dry out and highlight signs of expression, so it is not indicated, recommends Eliete. This product promises to help take away the oily aspect of the skin, causing a mattifying effect. The lid is lightweight and the powder is available in four colors. You can find the product in various cosmetic stores, pharmacies, virtual stores and hypermarkets.
How to choose a powder tone if you want to emphasize the contour of the face? For these purposes, a trial version should be tested on the cheekbones or chin. Again, if the color of the product is completely adjusted to the color of the skin, then this is your option.
The shade of powder is much more difficult to choose than the color of foundation. Powder, unlike foundation, which has a dense pigment, lays down with a transparent veil. Therefore, the color of the powder should always be chosen by applying to the face. Moreover, artificial lighting can distort the color. If there is no natural light in the store, do not immediately try to buy the shade you like, but see how the trial version behaves under natural light.
I find this powder to be a good option to carry inside a bag and use when a glow appears on the face. You can transfer multiple layers of product into place or retouch makeup without giving your face a forced dry look. If you don't have blemishes or dark circles that need more coverage, you can use the powder on its own or with a little concealer, said Marina Smith.
Shown for oily skin, the product promises to control oiliness and maturation without adding skin color or texture. It leaves a very natural finish, doesn't look like it's using a powder because it's too thin. I also like to carry it in my bag to touch the end of the day, Prisila Paes of the Blush Pass. The powder is very thin and adds almost no color. I like to address the whole face, not just the T-zone, because another thing I really like is that it avoids buildup of face concealer in the fine lines under the eyes.
How to choose the tone of powder for the face to emphasize the relief
To create makeup in such a popular “strobing” or “contouring” technique, you will need three shades of powder at once:

- Ideally matched with skin tone or foundation - to create an overall tone.
- One tone darker to emphasize the contour of the face and its relief.
- One tone lighter than the main tone to highlight the protruding parts of the face.
If you are still lost in the choice of shades of powder or do not know how to choose the tone of powder for the face among a large variety of palettes, then approach the choice based on your color type.
Indicated specifically for those with combination or oily skin, the product is oil-free, has a matte finish and sun protection. Refill and kit sold separately. The best part is that you get from a lighter lid to a heavier one. The texture of the product is thin and can be found in cosmetic stores or from Renner. This porthole is very beautiful!

“It has a beautiful and strong glow, it fades easily and has a medium duration, the glow decreases during the day, but it does not disappear completely”, Josie Costa, Josie from lipstick. Since it does not have any shine particles, the product can be useful for both tanned skin and contouring. That is, if you pass a layer evenly, two layers are stronger and so on.

- So young ladies with a cold undertone of the face should choose light shades with a silvery cold shimmer.
- Dark-skinned and tanned beauties with olive undertones should opt for warm peach shades with golden shimmer.
- The best option for all skin types is pink-beige colors.
Naturally, in this range, you should choose an option that, in terms of its color intensity, ideally adapts to your natural skin tone.
Facial powder is a very easy product to find and a brand that doesn't have their own version is difficult. Check out some more options in our gallery! The face powder doesn't have a lot of mystery to use, but following some tips, the best finished and natural end effect is guaranteed.
Choose the right color for your skin tone
The right tone of the powder is always the tone of the skin, since it does not act as an accessory, but as a fix. You can change the tone above the skin when the goal is to soften a certain region or tone below, trying to bring out the strengths. In summer, when the skin is more tanned, you need to be attentive to the tone of the moment, advises Eliete.
Another point to pay attention to when choosing a shade of powder is the season in which you are going to use the product. How to choose powder by color, focusing on seasonality?

- AT winter time cold light shades of powder are preferable.
- On the warm time it is better to choose light bronzing options, based on the fact that your skin will get a tan.
Again, all these nuances should be observed, focusing on the natural color of the skin.
The age of the woman also influences the choice of powder.

- Young ladies are allowed completely matte textures.
- For adult women, it is better to look at powders that give the face a slight shimmer. Luminous particles will refresh the face, giving it softness and distracting from wrinkles. But it is important to choose a delicate shimmer, an overly shiny powder will look ridiculous.
The question of how to choose the right powder for the complexion requires taking into account the mass of nuances and details. But the main rule is maximum naturalness when applying tone, i.e. no one should guess that you have powder on your face. This effect is achieved only when the shade of the powder matches the natural tone of the face and, of course, to its needs. In conclusion, we will only add on our own that, ideally, every woman should have three options for powder - the main skin tone, one tone darker and one tone lighter. The presence of two additional options will insure if, under the influence of natural factors, the skin tone changes slightly.

A few centuries ago, powder was used to powder wigs, and thus the ugly oily sheen of the hair was removed. Modern ladies are concerned about a much more serious problem - shiny facial skin. Ordinary powder can cope with this and many other cosmetic imperfections. With the help of powder, you can highlight a beautiful line of cheekbones, make your nose visually smaller, fix lipstick on your lips and, of course, get a perfectly even skin tone.
What powder to choose?
Today there are several types of powder:
- compact is the most popular and widespread, as it is very easy to apply. It is recommended for dry skin, because it contains an increased amount of fat.
- Cream powder will become excellent choice for normal and dry skin. With its help, the tone of the face is leveled, all visible imperfections are quickly and reliably hidden.
- Loose powder It blends perfectly with foundation and lays down evenly. However, it is not very convenient to take it with you and carry it in your purse, as it can simply crumble.
- Ball makes the skin smooth and velvety. You can choose balls that are perfect for your skin tone.

- colorless powder suitable only for those girls who are lucky enough to become the owners of the perfect skin tone, without visible defects, freckles, irritation, acne and age spots.
- Mattifying recommended for combination and oily skin types, as it perfectly masks oily sheen. It becomes simply indispensable on hot summer days, because it is applied in an even thin layer, the skin looks matte.
- Foundation Powder recommended for skin that does not have noticeable defects, as it only adds softness and evens out tone. It is applied easily with a sponge, evenly distributed and does not clump in the area of mimic wrinkles. Makeup artists advise using it to adjust makeup throughout the day.

It should be applied in an even layer, and the antibacterial additives included in its composition give a therapeutic effect.
- Green powder used to mask acne. It should be applied exclusively to problem areas, and a layer of simple powder goes on top.
- Terracotta Powder includes healing mud. It is recommended to use it for girls with tanned or dark skin. In some cases, it can be used instead of blush when performing facial contouring.
How to choose the color of powder for the face
The most important thing is to choose the right tone of powder, which will match the natural skin tone. Many girls use the standard method, when a cosmetic product is applied to the bridge of the nose, but this method is not suitable for everyone. The fact is that the skin may have age spots, freckles, or the skin of the face in places has different shades.
Most women simply buy this cosmetic product in several shades at once. You can also buy powder in balls of natural tone for fair-skinned girls and bronze if the face is tanned.
When choosing this cosmetic product, the natural shade of the face must be taken into account. Many companies produce foundation and powder of the same tone, which greatly simplifies the choice.
Before buying, makeup artists advise applying a thin layer of powder on the wrist, forehead or chin. If the remedy is selected in order to even out the complexion, then it should be applied to the forehead area. To correct the oval of the face, the powder is applied to the chin. The ideal option would be to apply the product on the bridge of the nose, near the eyebrows. The fact is that it is this area of the face that is least exposed to sunburn and irritation.
After the powder is applied to the skin, you need to wait a while and examine the result in daylight. After applying the powder, the face should not acquire a grayish or yellowish tint. The main thing is that it matches the natural complexion. Colorless powder is considered a universal option, which goes well with any skin tone and foundation. At the same time, it is worth remembering that such a powder can give a grayish tint to dark and tanned skin.
When choosing powder, you need to consider the conditions under which it will be used. For example, if it is to be used as a base for foundation, it should have one shade. To create a beautiful evening make-up, the ideal choice would be a neutral shade, which should be slightly lighter than the natural skin tone. For daytime makeup, it is possible to use almost any tone that will be in harmony with the natural complexion.
If a girl constantly uses a foundation, powder can also be useful, because it emphasizes the natural beauty. To this end, the powder should be chosen several tones darker than the natural shade of the face, applied to the bridge of the nose and shaded well with a brush.
When choosing a powder Special attention should refer to the quality of the means. If the structure is rough, the powder lays down in an uneven layer, it can crumble during the day, and it simply won’t work to create a beautiful make-up.
How to apply powder
Before powder is applied to the skin, a day cream is first used, as well as a foundation. As soon as it is completely absorbed, you need to use powder. If it is applied before the cream dries, there is a risk that the powder will lie in an uneven layer, and ugly spots may appear. You can apply the product in several ways:
- Brush. You need to take a wide and thick brush, which is dipped in powder and shaken off slightly to remove excess funds. Powder is applied with light movements from top to bottom and from side to side. We must not forget about the neck, décolleté, ears - they also need to be powdered.
- Puff. Outwardly, it looks very attractive, but you need to learn how to use this tool correctly. To apply powder, you need to dip a powder puff into it and gently touch the skin. The most important thing is not to rub, just apply evenly. You also need to lightly powder the neck area.
- Cotton pad. Should be used to apply powder when there are certain skin problems to prevent the possibility of developing dangerous bacteria. Each time you need to take a new cotton pad.
- Sponge or sponge. With their help, the ugly shine of the skin is easily eliminated, the T-zone is worked out, skin imperfections are masked. The powder should be applied with soft circular rubbing motions, but do not rub too hard.
In order for the makeup to look natural and visible skin imperfections to be reliably masked, you need to familiarize yourself with several rules for applying powder:
- It is strictly forbidden to rub the powder, since such actions can break the first layer of foundation and as a result, the makeup will look very sloppy, smeared.
- If during the day an ugly shine appears on the face, it must first be removed with a napkin or cotton pad, after which you can use powder. By following this advice, you won't have to worry about makeup leaking.
- During the use of powder, it is necessary to work out the T-zone several times, since it is this area that begins to shine in the first place.
