Overview
The creator reviews the new Huda Beauty Easy Bake Pressed Powder. She begins by calling the previous pressed powder a 'flop' and praises the brand for listening to feedback. She then conducts a side-by-side comparison, applying the original loose powder to one eye and the new pressed powder to the other, also demonstrating a new double-sided sponge. After finding the results similar, she tests layering the new pressed powder over the loose powder and is highly impressed with the enhanced result, concluding that the new product is a significant improvement.

Huda Beauty Easy Bake PRESSED First Impression + Review
Transcript
We can all agree that this was a flop. I honestly can't remember the last time I touched it. It was just never as good as this. And better, I can't find it anything special. What I appreciate about Huda so much is that she took the feedback from her consumers, took this back to the lab, and now gave us this, Which I hope tier gonna try it out today is exactly what we asked for. This is a brightening and setting powder best now she took Easy Bake and made it into a pressed powder. For the sake of the comparison, I'm gonna do one side with the loose Easy Bake and then one side with the new pressed Easy Bake. Now she even came out with new sponges. I think we need to talk about this for a second. Is that it's actually double sided. This side is more of a sponge which I think I'm gonna use with the pressed best. And then this side, if you flip it around, is more of that texture of an under eye puff. Go in with the loose powder and this is in pound cake. It's just it's always it always just hits. I mean, come on now. Now I'm gonna flip this to the other side and use the more spongy side for the pressed powders. It's easy bake pressed in pound cake. Gonna take it oh, already that feels a lot smoother no as like patchy. The other one kind of feels a little patchy in the pan. Under this eye. If you look at the under eyes they look identical the same as it should be. I saw Huda in the comments saying she would layer this on top of the loose powder. Guys, look at how insane that looks. Like that's even better. I don't wanna come on here and be like, oh my good, this is the best thing ever. But when you have something no compare it to, this is so much better. It's always so great when a brand listens to its consumers because now we have a product that I feel like everybody will enjoy, get use out of, and absolutely love.
