Mini reviews: Revlon Whitening Two-way foundation; LA colors mineral pressed powder; Sephora Mineral foundationMy powders are all finishing!
Revlon whitening 2-way cake: Won't repurchase. NO oil control, even the darkest shade has a white cast on me, maybe due to the SPF22 or something. The SPF isn't even that high. Coverage is light to medium when used dry. I have never tried using it with a damp sponge.
L.A. Colors mineral pressed powder: Will repurchase. Has hardly any coverage, natural looking, has some oil control, doesn't look powdery and cakey when applied with a fluffly brush. I use this to set my tinted moisturiser or liquid foundation, so all I need is a little bit. Never used this with a sponge before. Anyway it's a pressed powder, not meant to have much coverage. Cheap too!Here is my replacement for my powders:
If I'm not wrong, this is the newer version. The older one is more expensive ($30) and is a 2-way formula, has SPF10. This one is only twenty bucks, isn't 2-way and has no SPF. I didn't see the older version at sephora. Probably discontinued?I love it that it's talc free, no fragrance and no parabens. My skin is very sensitive now, due to Diacneal treatment.
Has a mirror and 2-sided sponge. One side gives a heavier coverage, and the other side gives a lighter coverage. I love this so far. I wore it alone with the lighter-coverage side of the sponge, and it looks great on my skin. Looks natural and doesn't have the obvious powdered look. Has decent oil control too. I have also used this with a fluffy brush to set my tinted moisturier. Looks great too. It does oxidise a little like any other foundation. As long as it's nothing crazy like the maybelline mineral foundation, I'm ok with it. I will try this with the heavier-coverage side of the sponge, and with a kabuki brush, soon!
