Hello
Beauties!! Come summers, even the ones with dry skin like me, need a good
compact powder for the sweltering days, just so that we can cover up those “shiny”
nose and chin -_- But sadly, in the Indian market, not many brands cater to the
varied skin tones we have. There are usually two or three shades in each brand
here out of which rarely there would be yellow toned powders which would suit
our warm complexions. I had got a good match in L’oreal Mat Magique compacts (read Review HERE), but I was looking
for something a tad more yellowish and a bit more pigmentation so that I can
skip any foundation or BB cream altogether during these summers! I got a
perfect shade match in Lotus Ecostay Long Lasting Face Powder-SPF20. Read on to
see if it catered to my other requirements as well!
Product name: Lotus
Ecostay Long Lasting Face Powder-SPF 20
Shade: Royal
Ivory (C3)
Shades Available: Royal Pearl, Bright Angel, Royal
Ivory, Hazelnut Star, Almond. (Royal Pearl and Bright Angel leans on the pinker
side, Royal Ivory is yellow, Hazelnut is tad warmer than Royal Ivory and is
slightly orangish which would be perfect for medium to dark skin beauties and
Angel is a gorgeous deep warm shade which would suit deep-skinned beauties)
Price: Rs. 625
for 9gms (Bit higher than most compacts available in India but the quantity
lasts a long time)

My Experience: If I say this
is the SOFTEST face powder I have come across so far, it won’t be an
exaggeration. My favourite had been Lakme perfect radiance face compact because
it wasn’t much chalky, but this one took the level to just another standard! The
powder is
silky soft and smooth and that’s why I prefer picking it up with
a soft powder brush rather than the sponge. The sponge would pick up a lot of
the powder and that might lead to wastage.

True
to its claim, just a light brushing of this compact all over my face covers up
any redness or spots and blemishes and if I set my Mac face and Body foundation (Shade C3 and Shade C4) with it, I get a perfect flawless face without the heaviness of a
full coverage foundation :D The powder effectively
controls oil on my nose and chin for a GOOD nine hours and even after
that my face isn’t an oil well. No
clogging of pores too.

Coming
to the shade, Royal Ivory is perfect
beige yellow which would suit fair-medium skin women (MAC NC 37-42) perfectly.
It blends in like second skin and if used with a brush, you wouldn’t be able to
make out there is any “layer” of powder on your face. Royal Ivory brightens up
the face too.

Initially
I was very sceptical about shelling out 625/- for a compact powder, but now
after all it does I can never go back to another powder!

Rate: 5/5
I
have used the powder here without any foundation, concealer or contouring
powder underneath. There is a hint of NYX Powder Blush in Dusty Rose too (Read review here)

Recommendation: If you want a fuss-free compact which is
not chalky, doesn’t give an ashy feel to face, is super soft, perfectly blurs blemishes,
stays long, controls oil effectively, sets foundation beautifully and the
shades suit Indian warm complexions as well as cooler complexions(PHEW!) then
look no further! J Give
Lotus Ecostay Powder as chance and we are sure you won’t be disappointed.
See
