MUA Pressed Powder Shade 2








MakeUpAcademy(MUA)Pressed Powder.
Cost only £1 Superdrugs/Muastore online.

first thing out of the way is that this powder is way too orange for my skin because I do get really pale during winter,for summer on the other hand is perfect because I do get my Asian tan :D so will blend well,the powder comes in only 4 shades and they wont suit all skin colours because even shade 1 has a lot of orange,I bought shade 2 which makes me look like I''ve came back from Bangladesh anyway Its basically orange undertones,If you want something that matches a very pale skin colour this isn't your press powder,I actually use this when I use my tinted moisturiser or my foundation as a setting powder as it blends very silkily and does not give a cakey look.For £1 if you manage to match your skin tone its amazing! it has really good coverage but not heavy coverage,comes in 5.7g which is quite alot,I might try out shade 1 to see if I can get it close to my winter skin tone.This does need good blending because otherwise my nose seems to get a uneven orange and cream tones so make sure you blend it properly otherwise you will get an uneven toned face.It does not come with any applicator but I always use puffed powder sponges for any pressed powder to get maximum coverage although I don't need it much.I also feel like during the day my face does seem to look darker but doesn't feel uneven because the powder stays put on my face very well,also make sure that there is no powder on your eyelashes or eyebrows because the powder is quite "powdery"( well duh!").
