Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturizing Powder-Gold Matte Review

Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturizing Powder-Gold Matte Review

I have dry skin and generally don’t feel the need of using compacts but I feel Compact is one thing that we must have in our makeup items irrespective of our skin –types.

Packaging:- The compact comes in a classy black packaging with a designed cut card-box.  It comes with a small mirror and a puff. It is also provided plastic sheet between the puff and the powder to prevent the contact and protect the powder from contamination. The packaging is travel friendly as the lid locks tightly with the case and has a sturdy locking mechanism.

My experience with Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturizing Powder-Gold Matte:-

I really don’t prefer wearing Foundation or Compacts all the time just to let my skin breathe. I like using tinted moisturizers or calamine lotion for daily use but sometimes I do feel the need of something else that can make my skin looks good. Those are the days when my face looks dull and lifeless just like that. This is when compact comes into picture and adds life to my otherwise dull looking face. I just pat this over my face and tada.. I am good to go.

Fragrance:- The first thing that I noticed in this compact apart from its decent packaging is it refreshing scent. I enjoy it to the core and sometimes unlock the case just to smell it. It has a beautiful fragrance which rejunavates my senses.

Finish:- The compact is good match for my skin and gives a nice matte finish without making my dry skin flake. It gives a fresh look to my face and takes away all the dullness. The compact gives an even application and never looks powdery or patchy.

Coverage :-The compact give a good coverage and hides minor scars and imperfection on its own. The coverage is buildable and if patted more it will hide marks and dark-circles to a great extent. The USP of this compact is it will never give cakey application and blends nicely with my skin. I use this to control oil form my lids and to hide light circles around my eyes. It gives a smooth and even finish to my skin and if used along with foundation it will give that flawless looking skin. It really lifts my face and hence my mood.

Performance:- It doesn’t made my face go shiny even after hours and hence making its presence felt. The staying power of the compact is good. It easily stays for 4-5 hours on me indoors but while roaming around in the open you will need touchup after 2-3 hours.

The thing that makes this compact stand out from the normal compact is its moisturizing properties. Normal compacts just control oil from the skin and hence the dry skin girls like me end up with flaky looks with but this compact is an exception. It claims to be moisturizing powder and I completely agree with it. It doesn’t made my skin look flaky or dry but added a subtle glow to my face.

Cons of Revlon Touch & Glow Moisturizing Powder-Gold Matte:-

1. Bit expensive compared to regular compacts like Lakme and Maybelline but it’s totally worth it.

4. May need touchup after 2-3 hours on oily skin.

Recommendation:-  I am in love with this moisturizing powder (compact). Its classy and sturdy packaging and the added benefits of quality powder puff and compact mirror with the case makes it travel friendly too. It is my most reached out compact and I always carry this in my handbag.  I love the natural no-makeup look and the smooth finish it gives to my face. This is my best-ever compact. Highly recommended!!
