*kassie* 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 Pressed Powder ~ so called as 'touch up' powder....its a powder that normally people or professional use it to touch up. its slightly heavier than compact powder. so it only ll use by professional or touch up when its needed. The Step 1) clean face - make up base - liquid foundation - loose powder - pressed powder(when touch up needed) 2) clean face - make up base - pressed powder( more heavy look) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
