Nichido Pressed Powder: A Budget-Friendly Option for Oily Skin? ๐ค
Today, I’ll be sharing my experience with Nichido Pressed Powder. After testing various foundations recently, I found that some just don’t have the staying power I need. That’s where a good pressed powder comes in, providing that essential top layer to set and mattify makeup. With oily skin in mind, I set out to find a powder that could help keep my makeup intact.
First Impressions
According to the sales lady, Nichido Pressed Powder is a solid choice for oil control, and at ₱100, it’s definitely worth a try! However, after just 2-3 hours, I noticed that the powder began to slide off my T-zone. Unfortunately, I don’t want to be blotting my face throughout the day.
Packaging
The powder comes in a sturdy, sleek blue compact that includes a generous mirror—great for on-the-go touch-ups! The packaging is simple yet functional.
Product Claims
The box describes the powder as follows:
- Fine textured, matte finish: Aims to make your skin look smooth, natural, and flawless.
- Perfect for touch-ups: Designed for easy application throughout the day.
Performance
Upon swatching, I was initially impressed by the pigmentation; it provides a nice matte finish that pairs well with dewy foundations. However, I found it to be somewhat chalky and lacking in oil control. Additionally, it tends to enhance my under-eye bags, which is not the look I’m going for!
Overall Impression
Sadly, despite the hype surrounding this product, it didn’t meet my expectations. While Nichido Pressed Powder may work for some, I personally didn’t find it effective for my oily skin.
