I have to start by saying that Collection's Pressed Powder, specifically in this shade, is probably the best one I've ever used, sending my usual powder - Collection's Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder [review here] - packing.
It's just SUCH a good match for my skin! But I have to say, it niggles me a bit that makeup brands, like Collection, don't put their lightest products at the lowest shades (i.e. why is this really pale Ivory Shade number #18, when "Fair" Shade #1 is darker? Surely it makes sense to go lightest first? I don't know). That aside, there's nothing annoying about this product.
Okay, maybe one thing. Even though it's such a good match for my skin and even though it goes well with my favourite foundation, and even though it leaves me looking flawless... it can itch a little when first applied, because it's quite tight on the skin. But that's okay! Such a small price to pay for beauty - and the feelings fade quickly anyway. Speaking of price, I can't really remember how much this was in Superdrug but I'd imagine it's under £5. On their website, you can buy it here for £1.99 (price correct July 2013) and if you're pale like me, I highly recommend that you do. I wore this product at prom, and I suspect I owe the fact that all my makeup stayed on so long to this little beauty.
It doesn't make me look more tanned than I am, nor does it distort the colour of my skin, it covers any patch of skin it's applied to, and it'll last for so long because you don't need much on at all. I absolutely adore this product (no exaggeration) because it helps me to embrace how pale I am and doesn't make me look stupid. Awesome!
Thanks for reading, guys! I'd just like to say that I was not paid by any brand to write this blog post, nor am I sponsored by Collection, Superdrug or any of their affiliates.
