What  the Defferences Between Baked Blush and Pressed Blush

Pressed Blush
Definition:  
A powder blush made by compressing pigments, binders, and additives into a solid pan.

- Texture: Firm, smooth, and less powdery.  
- Pigmentation: Typically more opaque and buildable.  
- Finish: Can range from matte to satin or shimmery, depending on additives.  
- **Application**: Easy to pick up with brushes; blends evenly.  
-Best For: Beginners or those who prefer controlled application.

 Long-lasting  
 Minimal fallout  
 Works well for most skin types  

Cons:  
 Can appear cakey if over-applied.  

Baked Blush
Definition:  
A blush created by "baking" a liquid formula in an oven, resulting in a domed, marbleized texture.  

Key Features:  
- Texture: Lighter, silkier, and more finely milled.  
- Pigmentation: Sheer to medium coverage, often with a luminous finish.  
- Finish: Naturally glowy or radiant (often contains subtle shimmer).  
- Application: Can be applied dry for a soft look or dampened for intensity.  
- Best For: Dry or mature skin; those seeking a dewy, lit-from-within glow.  

Pros  
 Multi-dimensional color (marbleized effect)  
Versatile (use wet or dry)  
 Flattering for textured skin  

Cons:  

 More fallout due to lighter texture.  
May require layering for bold pigment.
