Sophie Martin Paris - Sophie Compact Powder


Shade: Natural
Net weight: 8g
Price: Php190
Made in Indonesia



 Ingredients: Talc, Corn (Zea Mays) Starch, Mica, Polymethyl Metacrylate, Dimethcone, Squalene, Zinc Stearate, Diisostearyl Malate, Dimethyconol stearate, Methicone, Quaternium-15, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate.
May contain: CI 77891, CI 77491, CI77499

 This product comes without a box but is sealed. I just tried this powder today. Although there is fragrance listed in the ingredients, I don't smell any fragrance at all. Coverage is sheer. The texture is very milled powder so it feels nice when you touch your face.



This is a very small compact, perfect for those who always carry a small bag. But it has no mirror attached so have to bring another compact or a mirror for your touch ups. Pic posted for size comparison.

Pros:
  • no scent detected
  • lightweight
  • fits in your small bag
  • not itchy in my skin/ no break outs
  • affordable price
Cons:
  • has no spf
  • only 2 shades available - Light and Natural
  • oil slick after an hour or so.
I'm a heavy user when it comes to powders for I rarely use liquid foundation. This 8gram powder will only last at least a month on me. The shade is a bit darker for me so I think I should have bought this powder in Light Shade. It's a nice buy for those with normal skin (use moisturizer with spf first before putting this on) but for people with oily skin I suggest you try something else like Sophie Martin Paris' Koshize T-zone powder which I will try to get my hands on once it gets stocked (It's OOS last time I checked)

Rating: 3.5/5 stars
