Do you prefer pressed or loose powder?

Pressed all the way.im way too clumsy for loose powder.

I have always used pressed but recently found out on another BR article I should be using loose. Still need to pop to the shops and grab some though.

I would prefer to use loose powder, it feels way lighter on my face but yeah...its super messy so I prefer pressed powder.

I own both, but use the pressed more as it's not so messy. If I'm going out and need to take a powder I'll take the pressed.

i don't really have a preference (I'm a liquid kind of gal) but I use loose more. Had one bad experience with pressed, which dried my skin and made me look disgusting and have never used it since. I may need to try pressed again, if i find the right brand

I am a pressed powder type of girl. Loose powder just goes everywhere and can get cakey!

Both are great in their own way, but personally Pressed is so much more convenient and doesn't make a mess. I get too pissy when I see more powder get on my clothes than my face!

I use pressed because whenever I used loose powder I put on way too much and I look horrible.

I own both and tend to go for the loose powder more, I find it settles into every nook in my skin where as pressed only goes where your brush goes, if you get what I mean. I like to use the translucent ones to also bake under my eyes and to use as a base for my eyeshadows.

I have had these backward and thought I was using pressed for the reasons of loose :/ this will be my one thing learnt today :) Adds loose powder to shopping list xx

I used to pack on the pressed powder like foundation. Then I discovered loose powder and the natural finish it gives and I was hooked I think the only pressed powder I'm going to buy is if it goes specifically with my brand of foundation and is color matched to it. Or if it's the Ambient Lighting Wardrobe by Hourglass.

Pressed is easier to carry around and less mess but I prefer loose as I know it doesnot have as much chemicals in it its really handy to know that pressed gives fuller coverage though

Pressed for sure! Loose just seems so messy and wasteful to me!

I've always used pressed powders as they are so much easier and less messy, but mum has always used a loose translucent one, but she generally wears makeup with a bit less coverage than I do! As I'm still quite young I find the pressed powder helps reduce sheen and absorbs more oil, plus I can carry it in my handbag for touch ups :)

I've tried both in the past, but I much prefer pressed powders, mostly because I'm a super clumsy person (especially when I'm in a rush getting ready in the mornings), and loose ones are just asking for messy disaster to happen. I also find it easier to get a thin even layer of powder on the brush from a pressed compact rather than with a loose powder, although maybe I just need to practice more with that. I do sometimes use a loose translucent powder on very minimal makeup days, but mostly I like the bit of extra coverage my current pressed powder gives me. :)
