MUA Makeup Academy Ultra Fine Loose Setting Powder Review

By Divi

Hi Guys,

Whenever summers are around the corner we all need something to keep our makeup in place. There are loads of compacts and loose powders available in the market but we always get confused. I’m head over heels with this MUA Loose Powder. Let’s see how the product is!

Price: Rs.360 (approx) or 4 pounds for 18g!

Claims: Weightless,silky smooth loose powder for all skin tones. The delicate, colourless powder applies with an invisible finish over foundation and concealer to set and prolong makeup wear. The lightweight formula creates smooth, radiant skin, blends, effortlessly and removes any excess shine for a professional, even finish.

Ingredients: Silica

Packaging & Texture: The product comes in a small jar. The cover of the jar is of black colour and the jar is transparent. The jar has a plastic lid which has holes in it for the powder to come out which creates a mess sometimes like any other loose powder jar. The plastic lid can be removed as well, if you want to use large quantities of powder. The texture of the powder is very soft and lightweight.

Experience: I just love this loose powder. Although,it isn’t available in India but you can always get them from any instagram store. The powder is very finely milled so it doesn’t look powdery on face at all. But sometimes it tends to dry out my skin because I have combination skin , so my dry areas get a lil bit exaggerated in winters but in summers it works absolutely fine. If you’re from oily skin family, then you’re gonna totally dig it. The finish of the product is super amazing. It removes excess shine from the face and helps the makeup stay for a long time. Whenever I apply this to my undereyes, my concealer stays put longer. It just mattifies and air-brushes the skin.What I usually do is, I use facial oil beneath my foundation and illuminating primer so as to make my base dewy and after that I go with the translucent powder which mattifies the skin so beautifully without making my skin dry or exaggerating the dry patches. After using this powder, my skin looks legit flawless even in from a close-up look.

Pros:

  • Softly milled
  • Flawless finish
  • Affordable
  • Huge qty
  • Not powdery
  • Mattifies

Cons:

  • A bit drying
  • Not available in India

Rating: 4/5

I literally love this product! If you are thinking to buy it, then go for it! It’s worth the money! It does give a little bit of white cast, if flash is used during photography but if you set your face with a mist, you won’t get it much. It’s perfect for baking, and the qty of 18g will last you forever.

Faces Cosmetics Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder Review, Swatches

Hey guys,

I have been using the new Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder since quite some time now, they have revamped the packaging and now it comes in this all new, fancy black and silver packaging.

What the Company claims: FACES Mineral Loose Powder is an innovative non-comedogenic formulation which offers protection from harmful UV radiation and imparts a silky, irresistible touch to facial skin. It does not clog pores and is hypoallergenic. It comes with a unique, spill-proof, easy-to-use applicator. Suitable for light to medium coverage on all skin types.

Shades Available: (Lightest to darkest)

  • Natural Beige
  • Ivory Beige
  • Sand Beige
  • Honey Beige
  • Golden Beige

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.699/- for 82g (BUY HERE)

To start with the packaging, I absolutely love this new packaging. It does not spill off extra powder as only the required quantity comes off the sieve. And the sponge picks up the product well, which you can directly dab on the face, wherever required.

I have the shades 02 Ivory Beige and 03 Sand Beige. Now 03 Sand Beige is a good match for me which is the mid shade, Ivory Shade is a little lighter which makes it perfect to set the under eye concealer and for baking under the eyes and below the contour.

The sieve comes covered with a thick white paper which is supposed to be peeled off and later you can directly cover it with a sponge or keep the paper if you don’t want the powder to be on the sponge, when not using.

The powder is extremely soft and silky and very finely milled. I love the smooth finish and texture, and it glides on well on the skin. It keeps the skin matte for a good few hours and would also prevent your under eye concealer from creasing and settling into the fine lines.

This powder has some coverage, but it would be a little less than the normal compact powder, so don’t expect too much coverage from this. This is basically a setting powder which you have to use to keep your base makeup in place and not melt or transfer or slide off.

Left: Sand Beige, Right: Ivory Beige

I also like the fact that there are 5 shades available. It is a little on the expensive side but the quantity is quite good. Faces India is also a cruelty free brand and doesn’t test on animals, if you use only cruelty free brands.

Overall I would say, I definitely like it and recommend it, but as a loose setting powder, this won’t and cannot replace your compact powder, especially if you are looking for coverage. However if you use your compact powder as setting powder, you can try this. I am sure you will like it.
