Face Powder
The cheapest entry into colour cosmetics, because a translucent powder needs no shade matching at all. Pressed pacts are the Korean daily standard since touch-ups matter more than at-home setting, and talc-free is increasingly a retailer requirement.

Frequently asked
Loose or pressed?
Loose gives the finest application and suits at-home setting, while pressed is portable for touch-ups and is the format Korean consumers actually carry. Many brands launch pressed first.
Is talc-free necessary?
Not universally, but a growing number of clean-beauty retailers require it, so it is worth specifying early if those channels are part of the plan.
