In what occasions is the word 'powder' used as a countable noun?
I have seen the expression "a powder". What does 'a powder' mean?
Does 'two powders' make sense either?

"A powder" is understood to mean "a kind of powder". Likewise "two powders" would be taken to mean "two kinds of powder".
"The snow covered the land with a fine powder" = "The snow covered the land with fine powder."
You would hear the first one more often than the second because of tradition over time.
