Feelin’ loose?
I tend to wear pressed much more because my holy grail face powder (MAC Mineralize Skinfinish natural is THE BEST!) just happens to come in pressed form.
But hey, if it also came in a loose powder version, I’d probably be all over that, too.

I do like wearing both pressed and loose for different reasons, though. I think pressed powder is better in terms of benefit and for on-the-go touch-ups (obvs), and when I apply it with a brush, I promise it looks less obvious/more natural than loose powder does. When I run my brush across a pan of pressed powder, the bristles pick up less product than they finish with loose powder, so the end result is less powder, and a much more natural look. For everyday looks, I choose pressed.
Now, when I want much more of a finished, formal look, like for pics or special occasions when I’ll be wearing much more makeup, I’ll opt for loose powder instead. It’s a heavier look, but I think loose powder does a better job of blurring pores and making the skin look much much more perfected than pressed powder does.
If you’re searching for ultra-polished, loose is the way to go!

Which one do you prefer? loose or pressed?
