Review on Canmake Face Powder

I bought Canmake face powder (Marshmallow Finish Powder) in July 2015 for about 18 USD.  This is the version with some bright pink stones all around the cover. A bit disappointed while I was trying to figure our the specifications of the powder - does it control oil, is it full coverage, does it come in my skin tone... All I got from the sales lady was that it received an award for best powder in Japan, and it has only 2 color choices.

The verdict: for that price, really good quality! I know it is not on the cheap price range, but neither is it outrageously expensive. Also, I never had the impression it was trying to position itself to control oil but it does control oil. I have combination skin and my T-zone needs a lot of attention. This powder just  matches what I need. It comes on light, but it really does give my skin the right powder it needs. 

I use a retractable kabuki brush to apply it. Sometimes I use the sponge inside, but only to pat some powder on my nose.

I also noticed that this compact has a brightening effect -  I look fresh even after a couple of hours outside, a hot weather. 

When I dust my face with it, it does not look cakey. Neither does it appear in patches after a long day of oil accumulation on my face.

The refill is only 12USD (PhP590). I hope the cover lasts long because I really want to just spend for the cheaper refill rather than buy a new set, because then at 12USD, it sure becomes reasonably priced.

Overall, I recommend this product. Thumbs up!!
