Maybelline New York White Super Fresh Compact Review

So, you guys know how my cousin asked me to help her with choosing some budget cosmetics and I had taken her to H&G to get some. And that’s when I picked up the Maybelline New York White Super Fresh Compact. Since I have dry to normal skin, I didn’t bother to get it before but my cousin has oily skin and it suited her really well. So, this review is on her behalf.

Skin tone : Medium to Dusky (somewhere between them).

Skin type : Oily Skin.

PROS:

  • The Super Fresh Compact comes in a white, plastic case with a buff and a mirror. The packaging looks nice.
  • It’s texture is a smooth, finely milled powder.
  • It looked toffee-brown on my skin.
  • This shade has yellow undertones that prevent it from giving white ghost-like look.
  • So, this shade will be suitable for medium-dusky skin tones.
  • In addition, it has a mild floral fragrance which we didn’t really mind. It was hardly noticeable yet pleasant.
  • Moreover, the powder blended into my combination skin (I had prepped my skin of course) as well as my cousin’s oily skin really well. I used both brush and the given buff and it fared well with both.
  • It has good staying power. It stayed for 5+ hours on my combination skin while it stayed for 4-5 hours on my cousin’s oily skin when we managed to be sweat free. While sweating, it stayed for 4-5 hours on me and 3 hours on her.
  • Also, it gave a decent coverage. One coating gave us sheer coverage like a mild photo filter. But the second coating gave an evened out, smooth look. It instantly brightened her complexion and me? I looked a lil’ tanned :p.
  • It gives matte finish not the flat kind but the ‘fresh face’ kind. A perfect natural finish!
  • Also, it contains SPF 28 to protect your skin.
  • It is super affordable. You can get it online for just Rs.126.
  • Suitable for everyday use.
  • The compact is quite sturdy and travel friendly.
  • Most importantly, it keeps the face oil and shine free for a long time.
  • Dermatologist tested.
  • Shelf life: 24 months.

CONS:

  • It tends to highlight dry patches and settle into eye creases if the skin is not prepped well.
  • It has just 3 shades. There is a serious limited choice for the dusky and darker skin tones.
  • Though it gave a slight tanned look on me, it was 2 shades lighter than my cousin’s skin tones. So, I’m very sure Coral, though the darkest shade available, will be very very light for dark skin tones.

Rating: 4.4/5.

SUGGESTIONS :

  • Even dry skinned beauties can use this product provided you moisturize your face well before using it.
  • Dusky and dark skinned beauties, sorry. There is no right shade for you in this range.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

This product came of as an pleasant surprise for me. I mean, it just cannot get better than this. Apart from the shade availability issue, it is quite amazing with its staying power and the natural finish.

Do I recommend it? Yep! Definitely.
