Face powder is a cosmetic powder applied to the face to set foundation after application. It can also be reapplied throughout the day to minimize shininess caused by oily skin.

It comes packaged either as a compact, or as loose powder, which is used for evening make up. It can be applied with a sponge, brush, or powder puff. Uniform distribution over the face is achieved easier when a loose powder is applied.

Because of the wide variation among human skin tones, there is a corresponding variety of colors of face powder. Besides toning the face, the powder also prevents pigmentisation under the sun.
