With my early school schedule, I don’t usually use a
foundation or BB cream, powder will do. Honestly, I’m really not into compact
powders, because I prefer the loose ones. Every once in a while, I’m still in
search for a good yet affordable, compact powder and voila, I got this Pixy UV
Whitening Compact Powder Coverlast.
Pixy UV Whitening Compact Powder Coverlast is a two-layered compact that separates the powder to its sponge. I’ve seen a packaging like this before and I kinda like the idea of it. Also, the packaging is quite catchy with its pink box and a white compact.
What does it claim:
The Microsphere Powder covers skin blemishes, makes makeup smooth evenly and look natural. It also has a function as an Oil Control Agent for longer lasting makeup. Contains SPF20, PA++, Natural Whitening Powder and Vitamin C.
I can't remember when was the last time that I used a compact
powder to set my makeup, but after two straight weeks of using this compact
powder from Pixy is definitely nice. Wearing it alone is one thing. The
coverage is just right to make it look very natural on the skin. At first I was
hesitant to use it since my skin is dry that it might cake on some parts of my
face, but it doesn't. This compact powder is for all skin types!
I'm not sure how many shades are available; mine is honey and it
perfectly matches my skin tone. The photo above looks darker, I tried my best
to capture the closest color of this powder so just imagine that it is one tone
lighter to that.
The application is very easy and I prefer to use a brush to apply
it to my face as it ensures easier blending and even application. The
pigmentation of this powder is just right for my skin tone. Pixy UV Whitening
Compact Powder Coverlast is very natural, soft and smooth on the skin. Not to
mention that it also has SPF20 and PA++ to protect the skin from UV rays.
What I also noticed is that this powder
lessens the visibility of my pores! You don't actually need a primer to cover
those pores when you use this. As for the whitening properties, I really can't
say much about that because I still haven't noticed anything yet.
Use it alone or use it to settle your
foundation, either way will work with this Pixy UV Whitening Compact
Powder Coverlast. It controls oil as well for about 4-5 hours and on the 6th
hour, well.. you still don't have to retouch your makeup.
Bottom line: Pixy Compact Powder is not perfect, but
it's just the right one for you!
