which one is better for weddings and special occasionsWhat are the diffirences between loose powder and compact powder ?
loose powder is loose....


compact powder is compressed usually into a compact.





for special occasions you should do your foundation wet then set it with either compact or loose, whichever you prefer. i prefer loose it is more blendable.What are the diffirences between loose powder and compact powder ?
Loose powder is great for oily skin and to set make up. For special occasions I'd recommend loose powder for blotting or touch ups and to set liquid foundation. If your going to be having photographs taken just be sure to skip foundations and powders that have an SPF in them. Sunscreen doesn't photograph well, it often leaves skin looking uneven and much lighter than the natural color. Compact powder is compressed and usually includes some kind of setting agent (which keeps it together in a compact) and often these agents or chemicals can irritate sensitive skin. I prefer loose powder on clients because you get a more even coverage and don't run the risk of irritation.





Just be sure to have a nice fluffy brush for all over coverage.





You can also use loose powder under the eyes during shadow application to catch any fall out and then wipe it away once your done!





Hope this helps!
