Pressed powder makeup is the kind that's a little solid hunk of product in a container. Probably most of your makeup is pressed powder.

How they make it: they first mix a powder base, like talc or mica, with pigments to give it color (they could leave the pigments out but no one would buy it without them) and other ingredients to help it stick to your skin better, feel better when you're wearing it or whatever other advantage they want their makeup to have. They also add a binder to allow it to stick together after it's been pressed. The product is then placed in its pan and put into a machine that presses the makeup with thousands of pounds of pressure. This makes the powder into a solid piece. The part of the press that touches the makeup can have different designs on it, like the company's logo, to make the product look fancier. Once that's done, it's put into the container and packaged for sale.

Applying Mineral Makeup with a Flocked Cosmetic Sponge?

A flocked cosmetic sponge makes it easy to apply mineral makeup. First, sprinkle a small amount of makeup powder into the cap. Press the dry sponge into the powder. Next, use a patting and rolling motion to apply small amounts to hard-to-reach areas such as the corners of the nose and inside the eye area. Then apply to blemishes and dark spots. Apply more liberally to larger areas, using downward strokes. Finally, wet the sponge and load it with makeup. Apply a final coat to the entire face for a smooth finish.
