Rating of the best face cream powders for 2022

Every woman strives for perfection, especially when it comes to her appearance. Unfortunately, nature has endowed few people with perfect skin, and the general impression largely depends on its condition. And here cosmetic companies come to the rescue with their variety of tonal products. Recently, cream powder has gained particular popularity, which will be discussed in our rating.

Features of using cream powder

Cream powder - a means for leveling the tone, which occupies an intermediate position between the usual dry powder and foundation. Due to its hybridity, such a tool combines the advantages of both options, which makes it indispensable in creating the perfect coating. The table below shows in more detail the advantages of cream powder in comparison with other foundations.

Benefits over dry powder	Benefits over foundation
does not dry the skin	does not overload makeup (does not create a mask effect)
evens out tone more effectively	suitable for owners of oily skin - eliminates the layering of makeup
able to mask major flaws	does not slip during the day
does not clog pores	powdery finish

It is important to remember that the use of cream powder brings only pleasant sensations and the result is a perfectly even tone, you need to take into account some features of its use:

• consider skin type.

For dry, you need to choose products with a composition that will provide additional protection against aggressive environmental influences. They should additionally moisturize dry skin, prevent the appearance of dryness, peeling, inflammation.

For an oily type, you need a product with a waterproof base, which will be responsible for the matte finish.
For the normal type, almost any creamy powder is suitable, the main thing is that it does not belong to the two options listed above.

• the color of the product should match the skin tone.

If it is difficult to decide on a color, then it is always better to choose a lighter tone. For owners of an olive shade, a product with a pink pigment is more suitable, which will create the effect of a natural blush.For those who have more pink skin, on the contrary, the product should have a yellow tint that neutralizes excessive redness.

• properly prepare the face.

This means that the skin of the face must be thoroughly cleansed. To do this, with suitable means, you need to remove the remnants of makeup, if any, excess sebum, treat with a tonic, apply the appropriate day cream and wait until it is completely absorbed.

• use the appropriate application method.

Make-up experts offer 4 options for applying creamy powder, each of which can be used both independently and in combination with others:

1. dry sponge - suitable in the absence of obvious flaws, leaves a velvety finish;
2. wet sponge - will help hide noticeable imperfections;
3. a flat brush, or a kabuki brush - a quick and fairly effective way;
4. a small brush is required to work out small areas;
5. fingers - the most economical and at the same time the most thorough application option, but requiring certain skills.

Before buying a cream powder, it is advisable to use its probes to make sure how evenly it lays down and copes with its tasks.

Below are the best cream powders in various price categories. The rating is based on feedback from real consumers.
