Becca Boudoir Skin

I was so excited when I got this powder from Becca. It is the most expensive makeup product that I will ever have purchase so far. I was thinking that it could be my holy grail of powder/foundation/oil control!

Oil Control
Oil control is my number one priority when it comes to foundations and powders. I have extremely oily skin so it is the first thing I asked the saleslady at the Becca counter in Adora. She said it is made especially for oily skin and humid weather conditions since the brand is from Australia and it's humid there too.

I was very disappointed with this powder though. It did nothing to control my oiliness. I tried wearing it alone and on top of foundation but still, it didn't make a difference. On a humid day, my face oils up as soon as 2 hours after application.

Coverage

I hate the fact that it does keep my face matte but I love the coverage. Even though it's powder, it still provides a good amount of coverage. I also love the finish. It doesn't look too powdery. It just evens out my skin tone and gives me a really nice looking skin,

One thing that the saleslady emphasized when I was looking at this product is that no matter how much of this powder you put on, it won't look like too much. You know what I mean? And it is true, I tried applying a lot of powder and it didn't look to heavy or thick.

Lasting power
Lasting power is not so good either. Because I get oily as soon as an hour(if it's really humid) after application, the product doesn't hold up well on my skin.

Texture
Because this is a high quality powder, it is very finely milled. It is very smooth when swiped.

A little tip
I like to apply it with a fluffy brush. But then again, you can't go wrong with this powder since it will look okay even after piling it on.

The verdict
As much as I would love to love this product because it is Becca and it is quite expensive, it has disappointed me.
