Hello everyone ♥
As a woman with oily, sometimes super oily skin mattifying powder is a must-have for me, if I want to look at least fine :D. To be honest I have tried so many powders through my makeup journey, almost all of
them didn’t mattifyied my skin for more than 2-3 hours and I’ve been pleased with just 1-2. Even the most popular mattifying powder Stay matte mattifyes my oily skin for just 2 hours! I’m always looking for new powder and I never repurchase, only MaxFactor’s Crème Puff I’ve bought 2 or 3 times, but it is super opaque and thick, it mattifyies my skin
really well but lately I want leightweight products on my skin so I was looking
for a new and lightweight powder. I wrote about Crème Puff here: http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2015/07/revieweveryday-makeup-essentials-summer_27.html.
Usually
loose powders are finer compared to the baked powders, look more natural when
applied and I personally really like them. After I finished Catrice’s compact
transparent waterproof powder Prime
& Fine I was in doubt to buy
it again, since I run out of it super quickly and that’s a cons for me but then
I saw that Catrice’s newest powder Nude Illusion is available in Lilly Drogerie
and I decided to give it a chance.
Nude Illusion powder it’s Catrice’s
newest powder and it’s available only in
one shade – white (transparent), but when applied on the skin it’s clear. I have medium dark skin
with noticeable yellow undertone but this powder doesn’t look white on me. The
box contains 11gr. of powder, the powder is loose (it’s not pressed
or baked). Powder comes in a little
plastic box, which is quite stabile and comfy for travelling (I’ve
travelled with this powder in my bag nearly 1000km). I decied to add little
powder puff that fits perfectly in the box to make sure the powder stays in
place. I apply the powder as I put some into the cap of the powder and then I
put my powder brush and apply it on my face. Nude Illusion powder looks invisible on my skin, it doesn’t exaggerate my pores and it mattifyes my skin for really long time –
over 6-7 hours even in hot and humid weather, then I start to get oily. I
couldn’t find the ingredients of the powder on the packaging, which is
strange?!, I suspect that this powder is
so mattifying because of the ingridient alluminium, which isn’t great for your
skin as far as I know (please, if someone is into chemistry, please leave a
comment about the alluminium & it’s effect on the skin). I have really
sensitive skin, I often tend to have allergic reactions but I use this powder
over 3 months now and I didn’t get any irritations, pimples or discomfort – I
mean my skin works great with this powder, even if there’s alluminium in it.
I wanna make quick comparison between
the compact transparent waterproof Prime & Fine powder and the loose
transparent powder Nude Illusion. On my skin the waterproof Prime & Fine mattifyies for 4 hours, then I got oily, also I got caked on the one side, something I experienced for the first time. As I mention I run out of it super quickly (2 months) but the packaging is super nice and comfy to carry in your purse with big mirror, it’s waterproof and it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin as well. If you have
normal/combination skin or even normal oily skin you might like this one. I use
it during the winter when my skin tends to be just oily and even normal
sometimes and my skin felt good with it. Nude Illusion mattifyes for longer
time, looks more invisible when applied and I would use it for more than 4
months, but is loose and not comfort to carry in your purse. I recommend this
one if you’re having oily or super oily skin, for combination or oily this
might be drying.
I am pleased with the quality of this
powder and it would be my choice for the summer – it mattifyes for long time,
it looks natural, it didn’t makes my pore bigger or more visible and it doesn’t
add any color to my face. I would repurchase it! GOSH’s loose’s powder is also
on my wishlist and maybe I’ll buy it when I run out of this so I can make
comparison between them two.
What’s your favourite powder for
oily/really oily skin?
