What is the difference between skin powder sticking and floating powder?

Are powder sticking and powder floating problems that everyone has encountered? Sometimes this is due to the weather. So what should you do if powder sticks to your skin? What is the difference between skin powder and floating powder?

What to do if your skin is powdery

Wait until the skin care products are completely absorbed before applying makeup to prevent incompatibility between the base makeup and skin care products. Primer should not be applied too thickly. Apply foundation along the lines of the skin, and press lightly in circles on areas where powder is easily removed, such as the sides of the nose. After applying the foundation, you can gently press with oil-absorbing paper. Finally, spray moisturizing spray before and after applying loose powder to increase skin moisture.

What is the difference between skin powder and floating powder?

In autumn and winter, the skin is relatively dry, and it is easy to have powder sticking and floating when applying makeup. Here, the editor will introduce the difference between powder sticking and floating:

The difference between stuck powder and floating powder based on characteristics

Card powder

When base makeup products such as pressed powder, liquid foundation, air cushion, BB cream, etc. are applied to a dry face, the foundation cannot blend with the skin and accumulates in the skin texture, resulting in the appearance of pink lines.

Floating powder

After the base makeup product is applied to the face, it does not really blend with the skin. When the face starts to secrete oil, the oil will lift the foundation up. That is, the powder we often see floats on the facial hair and falls off when touched.

1. The difference between stuck powder and floating powder in terms of location

Powder sticks to the skin on the nose wings, under the eyes, nasolabial folds, neck and other places with wrinkles or prone to dry skin, while powder floats mainly on the oily T-zone, especially on the nose wings and nose tip.

2. The difference between sticky powder and floating powder in terms of skin quality

Powder sticking usually occurs on dry skin or combination dry skin, especially in winter, when dry skin is most prone to powder sticking. Floating powder usually appears on oily skin, which easily secretes oil and lifts the foundation.

3. The difference between stuck powder and floating powder from the perspective of solution

It is generally recommended to enhance moisturizing and hydration for foundation, pre-makeup, and skin care. As for floating powder, it is recommended to use oil-controlling and refreshing skin care products, which mainly regulate the water and oil balance of the skin. When the water and oil balance of the skin is maintained, it will not produce so much oil.
