Are products that are intended to change the appearance of facial skin.
Face Powders
These cosmetics products are used to cover minor imperfections and reduce the shine that appears on the skin due to sebum or perspiration.
Face Powders
They are required to give a matt, smooth finish to the skin and remain this way for as long as possible
Face Powders
They typically work by applying color to the skin or through other effects such as altering the reflection of light or the shininess of the skin.
Face Powders
Finer and tend to set make up better than pressed powder. Applied using a brush or a puff. This make it less portable.
Compact/ Pressed face powders
Loose face powders
Loose face powders
Comes in a cake form, provides better and longer coverage. Can be applied using dense puff or make up sponge
Compact/ Pressed face powders

Compact/ Pressed face powders
Unpigmented, sheer powder used mainly to control oily zones.
Tinted/Translucent

pigmented and usually worn without foundation.

General Characteristics of Face powders:
- The powder should have the required covering power to mask minor visible skin imperfections.
- It should adhere to the skin and must not be completely dissipated in a short time, so avoiding frequent repowdering.
- The finish given to the skin must complement the skin color, imparting a velvet or peachlike character.
- Shine on or around the nose must be completely eliminated. The powder must be absorbent without changing its appearance on the skin.
- There must be sufficient slip to enable the powder to be applied to the skin with a suitable applicator, such as a puff or brush, without dragging or producing a blotchy effect.
- The constituents of the powder should be such that a clown like effect is impossible
Homogeneous dispersion of the pigments in the white base is very important in manufacturing face powders.

Methods of preparation:
Wet method
Dry method
Damp method
Materials and binders are compressed by using simple pressure in specialized presses.
Wet method
Dry method
Damp method
Dry method
Basic materials with colors and binders are kneaded into a paste with water Pressed into a mold and subjected to air drying. This is not commonly used because this method could cause cracking
Wet method
Dry method
Damp method
Wet method
The base powder, color and perfume are mixed uniformly. The mixture formed is then wetted down with liquid binders Like aqueous mucilage and blended until the proper degree of plasticity of the mass is achieved. Powder then is screened and compressed by machine and dried.

This is the most accepted method in making powders

Homogeneous dispersion of the pigments is achieved by adequate extension of the pigments by passing the pigment and talc through a?
hammer mill/High velocity mixer
hammer mill
This breaks up the pigment agglomerates, which then stabilize by becoming coated onto the talc particles
hammer mill/High velocity mixer
hammer mill
known as a plough A high device. This equipment uses a high– shear speed chopper in addition to mixing paddles rotating on an axial shaft. The chopper is mainly responsible for the powder extension.
hammer mill/High velocity mixer
High velocity mixer
The materials used as binding agents provide greater cohesion.
Binding agents
dry (powder) sources:
zinc and magnesium stearate
Oil sources:
mineral oil, isopropyl myristate , and lanolin derivatives
Binding agents:
- dry (powder)
- Oil
- Silicone
- Emulsion - using an Oil in water emulsion
are a form of compact powder foundation that can be applied to the skin by use of either a wet or dry sponge. The overall function is to provide a natural looking smooth finish.
Twoway foundations
They combine the properties of a foundation with that of a face powder, with extended wear and the potential to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes and skin pores.
