Pressed Powder

Pressed powders are key to controlling shine, evening out your skin tone and increasing the staying power of your base. Because long gone are the days of dry and cakey formulas. Pressed powders these days are packed with minerals and innovative technologies that deliver a natural-looking finish, all while taking care of your complexion too.

From soft-focus matte to subtle shimmers, pressed powders come in a range of finishes so you can find your favourite. The Rimmel Kind and Free Pressed Powder instantly mattifies your complexion. It's formulated with aloe vera and tapioca to nourish your complexion too, so it's perfect for sensitive skin types. The MAC Blot Powder/Pressed features clever milled mica, that's more absorbent than traditional loose face powders, to disperse skin oils for a shine-free finish.

Pressed powders are best applied with a powder puff so you can push the product into your skin, but a powder brush will work well too. Take a small amount of powder onto your applicator and press into your skin, spreading it evenly across your complexion. These formulas also work well as setting powders to help keep your base makeup in place throughout the day.
