As I have a very oily skin which is quite imperfect, I love to wear powder , and I'm actually more comfortable with powder on my base than liquid foundations! I've been a compact freak like forever.. I've compact/ powder foundation from MAC, Loreal, Lakme, Maybelline, Milani, Jordana, Revlon.... -_- This month I bought 2 compacts, both can be used in 2 ways wet or dry, one is Maybelline Clear Smooth BB silk, another is Flormar Wet n Dry compact powder, and u know what, I really loved the flormar one! :D Let me explain the reasons!
So here are some photos how it looks like:
It says- Made in Turky. And weight - 10 g. price - 400 taka.The main ingredient of this is Talc, Mica, and yes it contains paraben.
I love the way it blends both dry or wet: the dry way it works as a good compact with a light coverage, stays upto 3 to 4 hours, then u need a retouch. Here is a photo how it works dry:

you can see this light coverage with a hint of smoothing nd evening the tone, just perfect for an everyday light makeup.
For more coverage you can use wet sponge to apply it on ur skin, and in that way it has huge coverage I must say, and also using it wet extends its staying period, it stays good upto 5 to 6 hours shine free when used wet. Here is a snap how it covers :

I really love the creamy texture of this compact, It feels so smooth when u blend. you can see in the left image the texture, and in the right picture how it looks on wet sponge:
So If I note down the points I LOVED about this compact , then it will be like this:
1. The oil free formula, which is absolutely perfect for oily skins like me, it remains shine free, again skin does not look dry or dull u know some compacts really dry out the skin, and make pore more visible, this not of that kind, THIS COMPACT remains Oil Free again does not DRY out the skin, so it looks perfect when blended in the right way.
2. The staying power is pretty good, I mean I used MAC studio fix powder, that one is great, but this one is enough good as a compact.
3. U can easily match ur shade from a counter, which is for me is a good news as I'm really bad at picking up a right shade.
4. Did not break me out.
5. Does not look cakey, it blends really well. Again the coverage can be customized, which is a great advantage.
6. When ur skin get a bit shiny , it does not look ashy like some compacts, It stays at its true color, oxidizes very slightly on me. which is a life saver for me!
No complain actually, koz it's 400 taka, darn cheap! and it's totally a "poysha ushul" thing to have! Even the packaging is also enough good to carry in bag, The case did not break like my Jordana compact which is from the same price range!
So Yes I RECOMMEND this if u have oily skin like me which is very hard to manage, apply it with a brush dry, or with a sponge wet, u'll be good for the day :)
Feel free to share ur experience about this one if u have used already :) or r u planning to buy? :)
Hi Tasia! I'm also a fan of Flormar but Can u recommend me a 'paraben free' compact powder that provides good coverage? :p I've super sensitive skin. It's hard to get a paraben free powder in Bangladesh. Currently I'm using an Indonesian face powder but it dosnt give much coverage.

ReplyDeleteHello Tasia, I am a Filipina and currently living in Turkey. I have combination skin which means just my T-zone is a bit oily (forehead and nose). I would like to ask if this compact does not block the pores which causes the blackheads and pimple? This compact is very affordable but I just don't want to waste my money and time to buy a compact just for a trial that's why I am asking you this. :) I am looking forward for your respond. Take care
