Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover Powder

Powders

Aug 19

If you look inside my bag - at any time, in any bag I'm using at the moment - you'll see the Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover Powder (P850). I like carrying it around because the compact is pretty and unique, plus it's handy for blotting in the middle of the day without getting my face looking cakey. I find to be a basic, non-fussy powder which is exactly what I need for retouching.

That doesn't mean that this is just for retouching. This well-milled silky powder instantly smoothens and mattifies skin, blurring out pores, so it's also an excellent finishing powder on top of liquid/ cream makeup.

What I love about the product

Very smooth, airbrush finish. It's subtle, but it's there. Does it even out pores? I don't have big pores so I can't tell. But I notice an overall smoothness when I use this.
Translucent shade can easily match fair to medium skintones. It has no coverage so it doesn't erase blush or contour powder.
Doesn't look cakey when I use this to retouch my oily face.
Beautiful, sturdy compact. It's mababaw but I really enjoy using this in public, it's so cute!
Affordably priced at P850. You get 10grams in the pan, not bad!

What I don't like about the product

Don't expect any oil control. The powder will absorb the oil you already have on your face, but it won't prevent any new oiliness.
If you're in the deeper end of the shade spectrum, tough luck! This may look pasty already.
Foam sponge applies too much powder, I would prefer to use a brush.

Unblended. You can see the instant improvement in texture of the skin.

Neutral

I wish it wasn't so matte. Matte is nice, but I prefer a bit of glowiness. It really depends!

Recommendations

The Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover Powder is perfect for girls who are looking for a matte, smoothing powder. If your skin has a rough, uneven texture caused by big pores or acne, this powder may help take off the edge. This isn't designed for oil-control though so expect to blot more than you're used to.

Verdict

Like I mentioned above, this is a mainstay in my bag. I enjoy using the compact because I feel it enhances the makeup I already have on. I just use blotting paper for the oil!

So...tried this? Want to try? Let me know!
