Beauty Review: My Face Pressed Powder Journey!

How old are you when you started using face powder?

From a young age, I began with Silky White Magic Face Powder and I'm still using it until today especially when I just staying at home or going to supermarket for grocery shopping.

My favourite is Cool Blue

During my studies, I used SILKYGIRL Magic BB Oil Control Pure Fresh Powder. It definitely has a gentle, natural mattifying effect, and makes my face look fresh upon application and it suits my acne-prone skin because it doesn't cause any breakouts. I believe it has non-drying and breathable formula that's why I was comfortable using it. Also, it provides light but not long-lasting coverage. This is perfect for a student who wants to look fresh in the morning but doesn't want to draw out attention in the class. I also found this small compact powder is convenient because it doesn't take too much of space in my handbag and school bag.

About the same year, I also used SILKYGIRL Magic BB White Powder Foundation when attending functions and events. I really love this one because it provides medium coverage that actually lasts long, instant brightening and flawless appearance. It also does a good job in covering my redness, helping to mattify my skin and giving it a more even tone. I love how natural it looked on my skin.

I used the above until I hit the pan then I thought I want to try a different brand. I am budget-conscious who prefers not to spend so much on make-up so I purchased ELIANTO Make Up Smooth Wear Face Powder. This one has a light yet creamy texture but it doesn't provide long-lasting coverage. The performance is poor and it's shine free for probably two hours only. It doesn't do a good job in absorbing sweats and excess oil too.

Then, I changed back to my trusted brand. This time I purchased SILKYGIRL Magic BB white Chiffon Powder Foundation. I have yet to use this one but upon testing, I can feel that the powder texture is finer and smoother. Just like its predecessor, I am expecting it to have medium and long-lasting coverage.

Did you also know different make up tools will give different finished look?
That is why it's important to know how to use it properly.

For a full coverage look, you may use makeup sponge such as BeautyBlender.
For matte finish look, it is best to use a powder puff with loose powder to absorbs oil.
For soft and glowy look, always use powder brush and this is my favourite technique all the time.
