I’ve been meaning to review this product for so long but somehow never got around to doing it. Before I start off, apologies for the delay to all you readers who had requested a review nearly two weeks back! But then, better late than never :))
Lets get down to dissecting every aspect of the product
Packaging – Its a sturdy, black rectangular plastic case with a see-through lid which helps to figure out the shade. The case is however way too big and Revlon could do with reducing the size a bit. Takes up a lot of space in my clutch! There is also a small rectangular mirror inside and the powder comes with a cute little brush. The brush is pretty useless though and would have been ideal for a blush rather than a compact, if the quality was slightly better. Its too hard! I use a powder puff or a kabuki for applying this rather than using the brush.
Texture – The powder is quite finely milled and is really light-weight. You don’t feel like you have anything on your face.
Coverage – I love the look this powder gives on top of my foundation – a very light, subtle reflective glow. This has a matte finish so great for oily/combo skins. On its own, it gives a light to medium coverage and is therefore great for everyday wear. Actually, this is an everyday use product. Not one I would reach for special occasions.

After applying the powder |
Lasting Power – Gives me about 4-5 hrs on top of foundation. On it’s own, about a couple of hours so yes this requires frequent touch ups.
Quantity & Price – Rs 850 for 7.1 gm
My Verdict Vs What Revlon Claims
- Delivers soft color with a luminous air-brushed finish – Yes it does deliver soft color and does even out skin tone but the air-brushed finish claim is a bit too much!
- Reduces shine and evens out skin tone – Yes
- Sets makeup for a pore less appearance – This is a very good setting powder and if you are looking for one, do give this a try but did not see the pore less appearance!
- Micro-fine, ultra – lightweight, creamy pressed powder formula – It’s not a creamy pressed powder. But yes it’s extremely lightweight and really fine
- Oil free, Fragrance Free – Absolutely
Will I Repurchase?
I just might because of 3 reasons:
- I love that it has a matte finish, oil free and kills shine which is perfect for my combination skin. Not many products manage to do that.
- I love the soft glow that I get using this over my foundation
- Has SPF 14
Have you tried this product? What is your take on it?

It seems pretty expensive for what it delivers right? There are many other better powders out there ๐
