Finding the suitable compact powder

Many of us are often guided in the wrong way when it comes to looking for a suitable compact powder that matches our skin tone. The trick here is to do some research on which compact can blend with your skin tone without leaving any flaws. After a few researches that i have done, i found Bobbi Brown to have some of the best compacts that blend perfectly with our Asian skin, which is the Bobbi Brown Sand Moisturizing Compact Foundation.

It has both the mosturising base and foundation in one. For those with oily skin, it is advisable to go for the Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact. To choose the right compact, its always good to choose a deep bronze colour for tanned skin or a rosy pinkish colour for fairer skin. “Never” choose white! And make sure that the colour of the pressed powder is ALWAYS one shade darker than your own shade. This way, the powder on the skin will not be obvious and if you wish to pull off a natural look, it will be a lot easier.

The price of the Bobbi Brown compacts ranges from RM150-RM160. But the price is worth paying for. For those who think Bobbi Brown is a little too pricy, you can always depend on The Body Shop. I love the compact powders available there. The All-In-One Face Base is my personal favourite, as it contains all foundation and base in one. It is suitable for both oily and combination skin and contains marula oil which locks in skin moisture barrier.

The price is reasonable, it ranges from RM70-RM80. It has an attractive design and can be applied on-the -go. The powder is fine and smooth which can blend beautifully with the skin texture, and the sponge is suitable for gentle usage on mild skins. Just use a simple  moisturizer, apply one of these powders, and you are good to go for the day, looking great and flawless. The Body Shop also has Flawless Skin Protecting Foundation, Loose Face Powder, Bronzing Powder and Pressed Face Powder which are equally compatible and it has the same price range.
