Street Wear All Day Wear Compact Blush Matte Review
What the Company claims: Street Wear All Day Wear Compact is oil-free compact that gives a flawless finish to your base makeup. It provides even skin tone and lightens the skin. You will get a smooth perfect finish.
MRP: Rs. 195/- for 10g (Price was Rs. 165/- before)
Shades available:
Blush Matte
Honey Matte
Natural Matte
Key Ingredients: Nylon 12, Mineral Oil, Lanolin Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide
Lakme Perfect Radiance costs Rs. 150/- for 8g. So comparatively they are almost the same..
It comes in a dark blue round packaging with a mirror and a sponge..they have changed the packaging now to a square one. I have not seen the new packaging personally..but this packaging was not at all sturdy..I had dropped it once accidentally and now I have two parts of it 😀
I have the shade Blush Matte..which matches my skin tone well. Its not powdery or the type that flies away every time one uses a powder brush. In fact I use a powder brush most of the times. Its packed well and quite densely..I am using it from more than a year..and still I am not able to finish it off :/
It provides a matte finish as claimed and keeps skin oil free for 4-5 hours..it never feels dry or does not give dry patches on the skin..or make it look cakey.
Pros:
1. Quite like the medium coverage it gives..evens out skin tone and covers redness or spots decently well. 2. Has Titanium Dioxide..which acts as a sunscreen. 3. Good enough quantity. 4. Decently priced for the quantity. 5. Shades would suit the Indian skin tones well. 6. Does not give dry patches or cakey look.
Cons:
1. Street Wear is not easily available. 2. Only the Key Ingredients are mentioned. 3. This packaging is not sturdy enough. 4. Contains Mineral Oil..which might not be suitable for some..
Overall I do like it..the coverage it gives and the finish is good enough for me..and suitable for daily use..I would say its worth trying.

Would I buy it again: Yes
Have you tried the Street Wear All Day Wear Compact ?
FYI: Do you know the correct way to use a pressed powder is not to run the sponge along..but to dab it on the face and roll a little in small circular movements.

Use as the finishing touch after foundation or tinted moisturiser, or alone for soft natural colour. Beautifully presented in our classic aluminium compact.

MRP: US$ 37.00 / 14g
Shades Available: Light,Medium and Deep
I have the Medium shade of this luminous pressed powder. It comes in a Black aluminium case with mirror and sponge applicator and is refillable..Now if I have to end this review in two words I would say it is THE BEST. Period.
I read reviews when I had not tried it, where people said its better and they prefer it over their MAC MSFN..I was like ya then it should be something. It evens out the skin tone, gives light to medium coverage and gives that perfect luminous glow to the skin. It does not make the face look cakey at all or give that too matte effect.
See the little shimmer..but looks fab on the face
MAC MSFN also has fine shimmer particles that give that glow. MAC is priced at Rs. 1350/- for 10g of product and this is a little more expensive but then it has 14g of product and is also made of better and natural ingredients. It never broke me out. I did read reviews of MAC MSF on makeupalley and many of them said it broke them out..probably coz of the tons of ingredients it had.
Pros:
1. Awesome packaging..love that black case with a huge wide mirror and the design on the powder. 2. Gives light to medium coverage and evens out the skin. 3. It does give that luminous glow to the face true to its claim. 4. Has natural organic ingredients..now I would love natural ingredients in cosmetics. 5. Does not test on animals and recyclable packaging for all products. 6. Works equally well for touch ups with the sponge. 7. Perfect to carry..you would not need a separate mirror when carrying this as its quite wide. 8. Even though it has very fine shimmer it does not show up on the face and gives a pretty nice glow. 9. 14g is going to last real long. 10. It never broke me out.
Cons:
1. Sponge becomes quite dirty and cleaning that would be difficult. 2. Not available easily. Though you can buy it online here..they have a standard shipping of 10.00 US$ for how much ever products you buy. So if you buy only one product that would be a little expensive. 3. A little expensive but this is totally worth it. 4. Only 3 shades to choose from.
Overall I am in love with this !! Which you people must have guessed by now :p
