Loose powders are finely milled cosmetic products used to set makeup, control shine, and provide a smooth finish. They come in various formulations, including translucent and tinted options, allowing users to match their skin tone or achieve a natural look. Loose powders are typically applied with a brush or puff for even distribution. These powders are often made from ingredients like talc, mica, or silica, which help absorb excess oil and create a matte appearance. Popular among makeup enthusiasts, loose powders can be found in many beauty brands, including MAC, Laura Mercier, and Fenty Beauty.
