New Choices in Pressed Powders & Compacts
It's time to powder your nose with our guide to the best pressed powders and compacts for women on the go. For a quick touch-up or for effective full coverage as a one-step replacement for
foundation, women love the convenience of compacts, the flip-open portable beauty station with a mirror inside the lid and a lightly tinted, pressed powder in the other.
What we like to see are updates and improvements to products already known for high quality and effectiveness, so
Chanel's soft pressed powder came as a pleasant surprise, with light-reflecting pigments smooths away skin imperfections, and rather than a
makeup sponge or pad, this compact includes a brush applicator to completely avoid caking and uneven distribution.
Another innovation has been provided by
Christian Dior with the DiorSkin Forever Compact. This one-step makeup-in-a-compact contains moisturizing regulator for optimal comfort. The unusual two-level compact case separates the foundation from the sponge reducing the growth of bacteria and giving you the opportunity to apply the makeup with a clean applicator, every time.
