Face powder, also known as compact powder, is a cosmetic product applied to the face to set makeup, reduce shine, and provide a smoother, matte finish. It typically comes in a pressed or loose powder form and is available in various shades to match different skin tones. Face powder helps to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, giving the skin a more polished look. It can be applied with a brush, sponge, or puff for a light, natural finish or layered for more coverage. Additionally, some face powders may contain ingredients that offer skincare benefits, such as hydration or sun protection.
