I've been using Maybelline's latest product which is their Clear Smooth BB Silk Cake Powder for almost a week now however, because of work, I didn't have enough time nor energy to make a detailed review about it.
So here's a quick review of the product:
Claims:
Creates smoother, poreless looking skin
High coverage
Lightens and brightens skin
Sun protection
Oil control for hours
I've been using it for a week and so far I haven't had any breakouts. It claims to smooth out pores to create a poreless looking skin which I have yet to see. Maybe if I continue using it for a month, I'd get visible results (same goes with its lightening & brightening effect). I was told that it can be used with a dry / wet sponge depending on the coverage I prefer. I've been using it with a dry sponge and it offers medium coverage. It was able to even out my skin tone and hide the redness around my nose and under my chin. However, for dark undereyes I suggest you still use a concealer. What I love about this product is that it really stands true with its oil control claim! Before I bought this product, I've been using L'oreal's Infallible Creamy Powder Foundation for touch ups, I usually get the oilies after around 3-4hrs. But this product have so far been effective in controlling shine and oil on my face for a longer period!
Pros:
excellent oil & shine control
inexpensive (329php or around 8$)
good coverage
does not oxidize
small & cute packaging
usable sponge
Cons:
available in 4shades only (Light, Nude Beige, Natural and Honey)
update: cakes when applied wet
Swatches:
Verdict: 4.0 stars
This product should be a major staple in your makeup bag for quick touch ups ^^
