Boots Natural Collection pressed powder – cool
I have been using this powder for years, originally attracted by the cheap price £1.99 and the fact that it didn’t make me look orange and five years later I am still using it! The Boots natural collection range of pressed powders only come in 3 colours, all of which are for pale skin and the darkest of which looks very orange! This product comes in a very simple pot, typical of all pressed powders. It goes on easily with a brush – the bigger the better in this case, and provides a good level of coverage for at least 2/3 hours before touch ups are needed. It was very easy to apply and it is fragrance free so great for people with sensitive skin. I use this to set my makeup and would say that if foundation is not left to dry enough before you apply the product, it can give you a slightly caked look. If you have a slightly blemished complexion like me, this pr
oduct would not be enough to cover it all on its own, a concealer or foundation should be used.
I would recommend this product for anyone trying to go for the natural makeup look or for anyone looking for bridal makeup as the colour is very subtle and not at all orange if you get the lighter shades. Normally I would suggest to look on ebay or amazon for a cheap version of it first to see if you like it before buying it full price, however at £1.99 you haven’t lost much and hey you still get your boots points! hehe
Pros: Very cheap, the lighter shades give a natural result and it is a good makeup setter.
Cons: Do not cater for any skin shades that are not light and it does not provide good coverage when used on its own.
