The NYC Smooth skin pressed face powder has just replaced the collection 2000 pressed powder which i used to use every day.
I am i big connoisseur of the cheep face powders as they are not much different to high end brands or even higher up drug store brands such as Rimmel or Loreal. And think that pressed powder is very good to set foundation and give you a nice flawless look.
I brought this product from Superdrug for £1.99. I do believe that it is on offer at the moment and is usually around £3.
Ok lets review this sucker! I chose the shade 702A Naturally Beige as it was the lightest and not translucent powder (which is also available). Now this shade suits me well as i am pale but the colour range that was available was not great. This is the only problem with cheep face powders that the colour range is not good. So if you have dark skin or skin with different tones such as olive or redness then i dont think this powder would be great for you. Sucky cheep brands and their colour range! But you could try the translucent powder.
Anyway when i first opened this product it came with a little puff (which went in the bin, i use a brush) and a mirror in the top. which is nice for touch up during the day if you have oily skin to help controle that. The packaging feels good and not too cheep but i am worried if you were to keep this product in your bag then the hinge would brake as its only a little bit of plastic.
Theirs an imposing of NYC in the powder which really makes it look posher than it is!
The powder has a light smell that smells like a moisturiser smell. The powder is very smooth and very pigmented and could be worn alone if you just want to mattify your face without wearing foundation.
Price - 10/10 great value for money!
Packaging - 6/10 looks nice but im worried about it braking.
Product - 8/10 great powder and great for every day use.
Colour - 7/10 it matches me perfectly but not a great range for other skin colours.
Smell - 8/10 smells fine, not a strong scent and cant smell it on your face.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder? Which do you like better? I'm looking for a light, mattefying powder for my t-zone...
Thanks!
