My skin type is oily, so pressed powder is a must for me! I usually don't go for powder foundations though, as I tend to find them looking flat out matte. But not today, not now! I think I've met my HG powder foundation in Estee Lauder.

I received this cute sample from the Double Wear Foundation Exchange event last year. Even at just 0.95g, this one lasted me for weeks even with everyday use.
It comes with a soft puff. This type of packing reminds me of Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine-Free Foundation TO GO due to its size. Just the packaging, not the formula! (Maybelline has 3.5g of product though, and it comes with a mirror though.)
However, I still prefer using a super soft flat-top brush to apply the powder on my face.
When worn
In this shot, I am wearing Benefit's Fake Up in Light on my undereyes, and only this powder foundation from Estee Lauder.
Pros:
- I am in LOVE with this powder since it makes my skin look perfect with just a few brush strokes. The redness and uneven skin tone are gone almost instantly.
- It feels unbelievably light on my skin even with its medium coverage.
- It keeps my skin matte for about half a day. Retouch once and you're good for the entire day.
- It doesn't transfer as much whenever I wipe my face with tissue.
- I wore this to a day trip where I encountered the weirdest weather condition (sunny-rainy-sunny-rainy again), and this one lasted me the entire day while making me look as if I'm not wearing any makeup.
- It does not oxidize even on my oily skin.
- It looks good on photos.
- It has SPF 10 PA++.
- It didn't cause my skin to break out.
- Sand is a good match for my skin tone.
Cons:
- It's expensive. (But it's well worth it!)
Price: About P2,000.00+ (for the full size)
Available in Estee Lauder counters at Rustans Makati, Shangri-la, Alabang, Gateway, Cebu, and Essenses Rockwell
