The history of face powder dates back to antiquity. Already in ancient Egypt, women used powdered minerals such as Ochra or Galena to improve the appearance of the skin and protect it from the sun. In ancient Greece and Rome, powder or starch powders were popular. In Renaissance Europe, bright complexion was a sign of social status, which is why powders based on talk or lead white (which was toxic) enjoyed great popularity. In the 18th century, powder became an integral part of the aristocracy makeup, both women and men. It was used abundantly not only on the face, but also for wigs. In the nineteenth century, safer ingredients were discovered, and powders became more accessible to a wider audience. The 20th century brought a revolution in cosmetology and a variety of powder formulas adapted to different skin types and needs.
Pressed powders are a comfortable and compact form of loose powder. Thanks to the content of binding ingredients, they are pressed in a compact form, which makes them ideal for makeup corrections during the day. Their packaging often contains a mirror and an applicator, which further increases their practicality. Pressed powders are available in various finishes – from matte to illuminating – and can be used alone or as a finish of liquid makeup.
