  1. Worst Worst Worst:

    Maybelline Clear Glow All In One Fairness Compact Powder

    So chalky and cakey.so hard to apply and u appear like a white ghost after that..

    Beat: Loose Powders from different brands

    Skin: Oily to Combination

  2. fair complexion with oily skin type
    best: Loreal serum absolute advanced age-reversing compact powder, loreal visible lift repair absolute compact foundation and upto some extent lakme 9 to 5 face powder

    Thankfully no duds this year.. ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. MAC studio fix powder for the coverage it gives though I dont use it everyday since it tends to block pores..loved my catrice compact and maybelline dream matte powder ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. best is new lotus herbals one :)) too soft and matte (oily skin)
    and worst will be maybelline white ivory which is a white compact powder ://

    1. Even I bought the White Ivory by Maybelline! Absolute disaster. Makes me look ghostly even when used with a feathery touch. What was I thinking!!

  5. Bestest – Lancome Maqui Blanc Miracle Brightening Compact and Studio fix

    Badest – I am testing some debrah milano “ultra fine” compacts…they are not doing an impressive job

  6. Skin type:super oily t zone with v.dry cheeks,complexion:wheatish to dusky,best-lakme perfect radiance shade honey beige,loving it to change so no duds:-)

  7. Skin type : Very dry Complexion :wheatish

    Best : Oriflame

    Worst : Lakme Radiance & blue heaven (I bought it in hurry & its a complete disaster ๐Ÿ™ )

  8. Skin type: Oily, acne prone
    Best compact I have used so far : Chambor silver shadow compact.. Blends like a dream and sets all day.
    Worst compact : Colorbar triple act compact.. This one got good reviews in IMBB and I purchased reading the review, but I think they changed the formula and shades.. There are only 4-5 shades now (earlier 7 were available) and it is really difficult to blend, I end up having a patchy face..

  9. No duds as such.

    Best : MAC Studio Fix Powder ( i use it very lightly with a big powder brush and I love how it sets the makeup and adds a bit of coverage), Chanel universal Compact, Lotus PURESTAY Compact ( the only powder that i actually finished up using ๐Ÿ˜› )

    Normal to dry skin.

  10. Oily to combination skin type,dusky,MAC MSF is the sure hit.eyeing for lotus pure stay and chanel loose powder.
    worst: lakme white radiance (white dabba )looking powdery and chalky

    1. Doesn’t MSF make your oily skin more shiny??
      I was planning to pick it up but was skeptical…
      So can you tell me how the finish was on your skin?

  11. Skin type: Oily
    Worst: Maybelline Clear Glow
    It looked so white on me, even though the shade matched my skintone!!
    It looked so so fake…

    Didn’t try any other stuff this year, would love reading your ‘best’ and pick one.

  12. Skin Oily, Fair

    Tried Lakme Radiance Compact Natural Shell– Not bad, nothing great either. Its my perfect match though.

    Lakme Rose Powder, loose powder Soft Pink– Again ambivalent

    Maybelline whitestay UV Fairness Compact in the shade N*de– Used it only a few times, I believe that was the product that broke me out.

    I am still on a lookout for great powder, but Lakme Radiance is not too bad, so I will fall back on it if I don’t find a good match

  13. Best- Revlon Touch And Glow Moisturizing Compact…i Love Love Love it….

    Worst- Colorbar UV Radiance Compact…Very Chalky, Not at all Smooth….Hate it.
