Review: Kanebo KATE Powder Foundation

My first makeup review for this blog!

Here I have my favourite foundation to date

It is the Kanebo KATE Powder Foundation (I think it's called Transial Pact) Reason why I like this is because liquid foundations have always clogged my pores and slide off my face after a few hours. This stays on despite my oily skin, and I never experienced breakouts.

The Colour is OC-C and is only slightly lighter than my own skin tone. The powder is very smooth and velvety. When you first apply it it'll look a bit white but it does blend into your skin after a while. I've been using this (irregularly, like once or twice, or three times a week) for the past year or so, and it's hardly moved! I always apply this with a brush (Cyber Colors Powder brush) It comes with a sponge but I never seem to get the hang of it. As you can see I only bought the refill pack because the case by itself costs about RM20.. which I didn't want to pay haha. The amount is 11.5grams and has SPF20 PA++. This is available at Watson's or Guardian carrying the Kanebo KATE range at about RM55 or fifty something. They have about 5 shades.

My skin is quite acne prone, with some (actually a LOT) of visible scars and pores. This is my face after being cleansed, toned and moisturised.

Below is my face after applying the foundation. No primer, no concealer, just the powder. I'd say it covers quite well for a powder. My skin looks better too. It looks better when used with makeup base.

At the end of the day, after a lot of sweat and oil coming out of my face, there is still makeup to remove. I see that as a good thing since it meant that it stayed on. Oil control is not bad for the first 5 hours. I do get oily but at least I still look alright hehe.

Since I was bored, I decided to do some eye makeup and blush :)

Revlon Color Stay 12 Hour eye shadow in Copper Spice (used the darkest colour for brows)
