Jyot RandhawaReview: Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Powder Makeup

Hi lovelies, hows life?

In summers, the only makeup product that is comfortable to wear has to be a face powder. It controls the oil and sweat and gives the face an even coverage. So, when I get my favorite product from my favorite brand, hopes are quite high!! For reference, I have oily and sensitive skin with not much to cover. I am NC40 in M.A.C. And I prefer using a face powder on daily basis instead of foundation or bb cream.

So, Today we’ll be talking about Estée Lauder Stay in place Powder makeup and I am in the shade 4N1,wheat 18. So lets see whether Estée Lauder continued to be my favorite or were my hopes shattered?

Conclusion

Pros

It gives a natural finish (really close to skin color) without making the face powdery or cakey.
It works perfect with double wear foundation making the skin look like porcelain.
It is easy to apply with a sponge and even a brush in less than a minute.
It makes the skin matte but doesn’t make it dry or dehydrated.
It doesn’t transfer on clothes.
It doesn’t react with the skin and doesn’t give ashy or grayish look even after long hours.
It comes in a lot of shades so you can find the one that suits your skin tone or is close to your shade.
It is dermatologist tested which means it doesn’t clog pores and doesn’t cause acne.
It is fragrance free making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Cons:

It doesn’t have a photo friendly quality as there is not much coverage of the unevenness , discoloration, blemishes and scars.
It doesn’t control oil efficiently. So It is not a very good option for oily skin.
The sponge puts too much of product at once.

Some tips for the usage.

After some applications, it picks up the oil from the sponge and develops a hard surface (its gets difficult to get the product even on a brush), So use a sticky tape and run over it and you’ll start getting the powder again.
This powder is thicker than your usual compact so try to use it less around your mouth and eye area. It may make them cakey making the fine lines prominent.
If you are planning to use it with a damp sponge in order to use it as a foundation, try to pick up a lighter shade than your Estée Lauder foundation. It looks brighter in packaging than on the skin.

In my case, I only use it on my Tzone where I get the most oily. I do get a bit of oil that comes through it but blotting sheets are there to rescue.

I also use this on days when I want some covereage but dont want to have a layer of foundation on my face. I’ll use concealer and a bit of this powder and I look very natural.

This is where I would like to conclude this article saying that if your lookout is for a face powder which is easy to apply and doesn’t make your skin cakey, this surely is a product for you. But don’t think it to be a substitute for your foundation.

So until next time
