Bourjois Paris Healthy Balance Unifying Powder Review

–            Bourjois healthy balance unifying compact comes in a red colored, round casing. It is light weight and attractive. It is inbuilt with mirror but comes without a sponge. This was the sole reason which kept me away from buying it for a year. But finally I gave in owing to its texture.

–            The texture is very soft and never gives a “made-up” look.  I once used it over my dry skin without a moisturizer in hurry and it did not emphasize the dryness at all.

–            The finish is a soft matte, which ensures your skin does not look flat.

–            I use it along with a thick puff to get a good medium coverage from it. Always use a patting motion instead of a rubbing motion. This way, there are lesser chances of powder setting into lines plus it does not emphasize dryness.

–            It covers my light acne marks quite well.

–            You can layer it over and over, and still not worry about ending up with a cakey face. As I said, the powder is really finely milled.

–            Since I have a super oily skin, my focus is more on skin not getting dull due to oily glands. And, it scores well here. Be it summers or winters, I blot and touch up every 3-4 hours to keep my skin looking presentable.

–            Most importantly, it has not broken me out.

–            I have the shade “53, Beige Claire” which is meant for medium skin tones. It is two tones deeper than my skin tone but I chose it since the lighter shade had a lot of pink undertones. Plus, it adjusts well. With just 4 shades, the shade selection is very limited.
