I assume if you say "loose" powder you mean facial powder since we have pressed or cream powder for face only. :)
Face Powder will help set your makeup and keep it on longer. Your skin will feel smoother and look more natural when you use face powder.
There are two forms of face powder: pressed powder and loose powder. Face powder will absorb oils and your makeup will last longer.
Loose powder is the best for setting your makeup when it is first applied. It is also the best option if you have oily skin. Loose powder contains more oil absorbers than pressed powder.
Pressed powder is easier and less messy than loose powder. Pressed is a great choice for traveling and for touch ups throughout the day.
The finer quality of powder you can find the better it will work. Finer milled powders feel softer to skin and will not settle into fine lines as much as the thicker kind.
Powder is best applied with a powder puff. The powder puff provides more even coverage. You can also use a sponge, brush and even your fingers. You fingers are actually the best tools to apply face powder under the eyes.
I hope this will help. :)

Loose powder is used to set your liquid foundation. Many people apply with a brush, which does the job, but I have found you get a more even look if you use your hands. This will get messy so make sure your clothing is protected. Shake some of the powder into your hand so you have a little pile. Then rub your hands together, then rub your face with your hands like you are washing your face. It may sound a little crazy, but the end result is really nice. Good luck!!

Loose powder is used to set makeup so it lasts longer throughout the day. It is applied after your foundation. Take a large powder brush and tap the excess powder off the brush, then buff your face with the powder brush. Hope that helps! :)

If your talking about loose face powder you put it on your face with a powder puff or brush after liquid make up is applied. If your talking about body powder then you put it all over your body to prevent odors from perspertation, and rashes, or just to smell good.

Oh, I love loose powder. My new favorite is L'Oreal's bare Naturals. I apply it over top of my liquid makeup, and it really evens out skin tone and covers blemishes. I also like Cover Girl True Match luminous powder, it covers well and gives me some color, as I am very fair skinned. Have fun and experiment. Just remember to apply in a circular motion and use a little at a time to achieve the look you want.

I think I know what you are talking about, you put on your face and you apply it with a powder puff.

sweetie, loose powder helps take the shine from oil from your face , it also seals your make up helping it stay put much longer, use a large soft blush brush to put it on , very light over make up, use a color close to your make up shade. good luck, and GOD BLESS.
