Hello to all the MABH readers, this is my first post; so I am very much excited. I am a fashion and make up-freak just like every other girl (no offense). I keep buying beauty products and do experiments a lot. Today, I will be reviewing Colorbar Compact Powder, Shade 006 Honey which I bought a few months ago.
Price and quantity:
Rs. 200 for 9g/0.32 US oz.
My Take:
I have hyper-allergenic skin, so if I use any sunscreen lotion or cream, within a few hours my face, hands and neck will be full of allergies. Thus, I use compact powders to protect my facial skin from harmful sunlight. Coming back to the product, this compact powder is very fine and smooth on skin, it actually gives a feel like light foundation. I have tried it with and without foundation, and both the time it worked fine for me. It covers the skin completely (if blended perfectly) and chosen the right shade, I think it would not give any embarrassing white cast. It blends very easily and stays for average long time (if not sweating too much)
It has a built-in mirror and applicator, also a round plastic sheet under the applicator to protect it from getting too much powder on it (which I really appreciate).
Overall, it is inexpensive, good quality product, good brand and almost does what it claims (except for sunscreen, not sure about if it contains SPF).
PROS:
- Gives smooth and fine texture as claims.
- Built-in mirror and applicator.
- Small and sleek packaging.
- Pocket friendly.
- Can be used for daily use.
- Super-fine powder blends on skin easily.
- Hypoallergenic, as claims (for me).
- Sweat-proof, if you only dab your sweat, not wipe.
- Good quality brand.
CONS:
- Not sure if it contains SPF.
Rating: 4/5
Do I Recommend?:
Yes, I will recommend this product. In spite of having hyper-allergenic and sensitive skin, this product works perfectly fine for me. I sweat a lot, still after dabbing the sweat, it was fine.
Would I Purchase?:
Yes, I will, until I find a better one.

Does this compact control oil secretion as per the claim?
Yeah, did not experience much oily face…
Will try it then.. Quite affordable ;;-)
Yes and brand is also not that bad
Yup! Colorbar is a good brand.. I am eyeing out for their velvette matte lippys now :D Want some summer shades..
I had velvette matte red lipstick, loved it. now i have mettalic lip gloss.. matte lipsticks are really very tempting :-bd
Yeahhh… :D :D I badly want to try their matte lipsticks.. Hows the red one? Is it wearable or too bright?
It was like siren red (but i like that only)… very bright, but if you dont like it you can mix it up with other pink or brown gloss or lipstick to tone down the brightness..
Will try :) Thanks Arshita..
