i used flour as a loose powder one day out of curiousity because i heard baby powder was used to absorb oil in hair. it worked well and looked fine (i know it's white, but my skin is quite pale). my question: Is flour bad for your skin? is it worse than the talc that's in most all powders?

I guess not. I mix loose powder with cornstarch. This won't change the color of the powder and will give it extra oil absorbing properties. Once I used Quick as powder on a black model and the pictures game out beautiful.

It's natural, so probably not. My friend and I were dressing up as freaks for some reason and we wanted to be pale so we used flour. Heh. I'm pale, but I'm not white.

I don't know if it's bad for your skin, but are you serious? Are you really so pale that flour looks OK? I would think it would make you look like night of the living dead.

Uhm, i think the flour's grains is too large to give you a smooth finish, i suggest you buy real powder.

its fine it also has less chemicals than make up but it wont last as long as the regular products try tinted moisturizer for oily skin that stuff works the best

I wouldn't think it was harmful to your skin but if it got wet it would get a bit cakey.

Use what ever you like at the risk of looking like a pillsbury biscuit.
