Pressed powder is a type of cosmetic product used to set makeup and reduce shine on the skin. It typically comes in a compact form and is made by compressing powder ingredients into a solid form. This product can be applied with a brush or sponge and is available in various shades to match different skin tones. Pressed powder helps to create a smooth, matte finish and can be used alone or over foundation. It is often formulated with ingredients like talc or mica, which help absorb excess oil. Many people use pressed powder for touch-ups throughout the day to maintain a fresh appearance.
