MAYBELLINE WHITE SUPERFRESH POWDER FOUNDATION
Review again pretty ladies! Rainy evening it is. But I won't stop reviewing and tonight I'll be sharing with you my experience with Maybelline White Superfresh Powder Foundation.
3 months ago I was looking for a powder foundation which I can use as a "go-to" powder foundy. I am a Naturactor baby but there are moments I don't like wearing it because it is a full-coverage foundation. I just want a "go-to" powder wherein if my mom tells me, "graxie, alis tayo after 5 minutes", I can have a powder I can easily use which looks more natural. Since, I'll just give it a try, I bought the refill first.
I've been using the powder for 3 months already. It took me months to review this powder because at first I really didn't like it. Why? The first two weeks I used this, I broke out. During those weeks of wearing the powder, I always felt like something is about to pop on my face. It felt irritating. And then after washing, yes, hello zits! I felt sad because I really loved the quality of this powder. Then my friend told me, that in trying out new make-up or new skin care products, you must wait for weeks, I think 2 weeks or more to really see if your skin likes the product. It is normal that in trying out new products, your face will tend to react. So I just continued using it. And then my face became "hiyang" and I no longer break out. After that, this became my holy grail, find out why:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°VERDICT°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
CHARACTERISTICS:
●Maybelline White super Fresh promises a 12-HR Fair and Matte Experience with No Touch-up which means this powder is really good for oily skin. It says to give a bright matte and not a flat matte.
●It also says to be long lasting, gives flawless and even coverage, gives long lasting finish that doesn't clog pores.
● With SPF 34 PA +++
● The scent is really good.
VARIETY :
● It comes in full size packaging (with mirror) and with refills.
● It has 4 shades ; Nude beige, Natural, Honey and Sand Beige. Mostly are yellow undertones. I got the shade Honey.
INGREDIENTS:
● Active ingredient is mineral perlite for maximum oil absorption.
PRICE:
●Refill- P 199.00
●Full Size - P 299.00
I bought the refill at P169.00 during Sale.
SIZE:
● 9 grams
PACKAGING :
● Full Size comes in a white compact with mirror that has a compartment between the sponge and the powder.
● Refills are also in a white packaging like this one and includes a sponge:
APPLICATION:
● I usually use the sponge for applying this product but at times I use a powder brush especially when I top it over a cream foundation to avoid a cakey finish.
●Usually, I can use this alone but most of the time I top it over my cream foundies or BB and CC Creams.
● It gives a medium coverage, not all blemishes can be covered but the finish is very flawless and natural looking.
● Since it gives a matte finish, dry patches can be emphasized.
● I love how this product appears on my skin. It looks natural, flawless and very lightweight.
But I can say that their 12-HR No Touch Up Promise is not true for me. After 3 hours, I tend to start shining but it is still very tolerable. The shiniest parts are just my T-zones but the shine still looks healthy. At first, I tend to blot and retouch right after seeing the shine, but I read in a review that she just let her face shine without touch up because this product has said to have an ingredient which tends to absorb the oil afterwards. I tried it, I didn't retouch and I still look good. The shine was still tolerable and healthy looking. After 5 hours, the shine is still there but I did not look haggard yet. But then, there is still the fact that it didn't keep the promise of staying matte.
But after 8 hours, I really looked oily. I blotted and didn't touch up. I noticed that there is still a foundation on some parts of my face but there is already a need for retouching. After retouching, I am as good as new. There are times that after 3 or 5 hours I retouch again but that depends on the situation. If it is really hot, chances are retouching is earlier than 8 hours. But during the test, 8 hours was the maximum longevity.
Well to be honest, even though it did not reach 12 hours on me, I love it because I know my T-zones are very oily and the shine was not haggard-looking, it was dewy and healthy. And for me, a powder that stays on me 5 hours or more is a good one already because I know my skin-type.
It became my "go-to" powder and look, I hit the pan :
AVAILABILITY :
● Available in all Maybelline Counters
PROS:
- Packaging is very classy and I love that it comes in refills which are really travel-friendly. For first time users, they can save up.
- It is seldom that I find a foundation that really matches my shade. I love my shade Honey which is really for yellow undertones.
- The scent is really good. I always keep on smelling my powder whenever i use it.
- Price is really good.
- It is very natural looking, gave me a flawless look and although it is a powder foundation, it is lightweight.
- With SPF
- A powder that lasts on me for 5 to 8 hours is good enough.
CONS:
- I just didn't like the fact that it promised a 12-HR No Touch-Up. This one may apply to not so oily skin. Well I didn't mind that I retouched after 5 or 8 hours but I think if they didn't promise 12-HR No Touch Up, people won't get disappointed.
REPURCHASE? Yes. Again, for days that I just want a lightweight foundation, this is perfect. I'll just bring my blotting paper with me.
