The difference between loose powder and air cushion bb

For fairies who wear makeup every day, they can tell at a glance what is an air cushion and what is loose powder. However, for girls who do not wear makeup often, they cannot tell much difference between air cushion and loose powder. In fact, air cushion and loose powder have different functions. Air cushion is mainly used to conceal blemishes, protect against the sun, adjust skin tone and create a nude makeup effect. Loose powder is used to set and touch up makeup.

Liquid foundation and air cushion BB are used for base, and loose powder and pressed powder are used to set makeup. That is to say, you need to set the makeup after applying the foundation. Air cushion BB is the base makeup, so you must use loose powder or pressed powder to set the makeup.

Different usage methods

Air Cushion BB

All of humanity is in love with Korean-style hydrating skin, which has made the BB cushion popular. Korean brands, European and American brands, and domestic brands are all launching their own BB Cushion. The key point of use is to apply it slowly layer by layer to avoid unevenness. You can store the Air Cushion BB upside down for daily storage to prevent foundation from accumulating at the bottom of the box, making it difficult for the powder puff to scoop out.

It is recommended to use it directly after primer. Unless local skin blemishes are particularly obvious, it is not recommended to use it with liquid foundation to avoid giving the impression that the base makeup is too heavy. If your skin is severely oily after using Cushion, you can use dry powder to lightly press the T-zone after use to solve the oiliness problem.

Loose powder

Loose powder, also known as honey powder or crushed powder, is a loose, broken, unpressed powder that helps to set the skin. It is divided into colored and colorless, and can be used with a sponge puff or a large loose powder brush.

Recommended use:

Colored loose powder can be used directly after primer, which is the lightest and most natural base makeup; colorless loose powder can be lightly swept on after any base makeup step to help control oil and last makeup.

Air cushion bb cream:

Air cushion BB cream has all the functions of traditional BB cream, such as concealing blemishes, adjusting skin tone, sun protection, refining pores, creating a nude makeup look, etc. In addition, because of the addition of air cushion, the original BB cream has more long-lasting makeup ability.

Pressed powder:

Pressed powder has the functions of covering, adhering, spreading, coloring, and modifying. It can be used as a base makeup, as well as for setting makeup and touching up makeup. It can be said to be a multi-purpose item.
