How to make a compact powder?

Compact powders, also known as pressed powders, have been around for over a century. In the early 1900s, cosmetics companies began to develop makeup products that were portable and easy to use. Prior to compact powders, loose powders were the only option for setting makeup and absorbing oil on the skin.

At present today, compact powders remain a popular choice for setting makeup, controlling shine, and achieving a smooth, flawless complexion. They are available in a wide range of shades and finishes, and are often formulated with additional skincare benefits, such as SPF protection and hydration.
