pressed powder

Solid makeup base

Pressed powder is a compact cosmetic powder formed into a solid cake, used to set makeup, reduce shine, or add coverage.

Unlike loose powder, it's compressed into a pan for portability: She touched up with pressed powder before the meeting.

The texture allows application with a puff or brush without spillage.
