Maybelline White Superfresh Liquid Powder

I recently had a mini haul and there were two new Maybelline products that caught my eye. One of them was the Maybelline White Superfresh Liquid Powder (Php 349). I am in the shade B4 Sand Beige. I did not like the fact that the product did not have a wide shade range, with only four available. The shades were not even that far apart from each other, two were pink toned, the other two yellow toned. 



I swatched this on the back of my hand back in the department store and could not get over the fact of how much it reminded me of MAC Face and Body, only when I blended it out, it had a matte finish and it felt almost velvety on the skin! 


As can be seen (sorry, I had to swatch very little on the back of my hand because it can tend to get a little messy), the product is watery in texture. You actually need only a small amount, a little of this goes a long way, trust me. I tried a dollop of it on my face and it got cakey, it was not pretty. This product is best for oily skin, definitely. If you are someone with combo or dry skin, I advise to exfoliate and moisturize a lot before using this product as it will cling to dry patches. 


I'm glad that the shade I picked matched me to a T. But since it has a high SPF and UV protection factor (SPF 50 PA+++), it does leave a whitecast to the face. It also makes it perfect for everyday use though, aside from the price point factor. The whitecast goes away in a couple hours after the product oxidizes on the face, or, if it annoys you, it can be fixed by setting it with a powder your shade. 

The coverage is a good light to medium, although, not exactly buildable because putting on too much can cause it to become cakey. If you're someone who needs a lot of coverage, this one's not for you.

Longevity wise, this product lasts a good 4 to 5 hours on me before I start to oil up bad and need to blot. 

I would definitely recommend this product to women (or boys?!) who go out everyday to work or to school. At Php 349, it's not a bad price for something that would be used all the time and repurchased once gone.
