Review: Sana covercom face powder spf 50

This powder has a very good coverage. However it's too dry and too cakey for my skin. If you are to apply this powder, you have to put it alone on your well moisturized face. Don't try to apply any primer or sunscreen prior to it, otherwise your face will look super cakey and chalky.

  I applied a thin layer on it and you can see it sinks into lines. 


                           It seems to be not very blendable.
This powder may work better for oily skin.

Review: Sana Pore Putty Makeup Face Powder Spf 30 PA++


Sana's loose powder was one of the very first makeup products I had when I started putting makeup on myself.  I remember the loose powder was very pale with shimmery. It seems the loose powder had been discontinued because I cannot find the same thing anywhere. 


This product looks like the pressed powder version of the old loose powder I had. 


The powder is pale with fine glitters. When you touch the pan, you feel the powders are creamy and very smooth which gives you an illusion that it's very hydrating. However it was slightly dry for me if I put too much onto my face. 

The powder has light to medium coverage. You can use it as a touch up powder because of its coverage and spf. 

I am not sure if it is the same thing as the loose powder I used to have years ago because this powder seems to be drier and more pigmented.  But it for sure can be a good sun powder for those who are sensitive to liquid sunscreen because it has both uva and uvb protection.

Review: Sana pore putty BB Mineral Powder spf 35 pa+++

This mineral powder is too dry for my normal skin in the summer.

This compact comes with the powder, mirror and a puff. There's only one shade and the shade is light ocher. It's best for nc 20 to nc 25 skin.

The powder is quite creamy. Since it has such a creamy touch than dry feel to it, I though it would be moisturizing for the skin. To my surprise, it's quite dry for my skin. At this time of the year -mid August in Canada, my skin is in normal condition. If I do not moisturize enough before applying this powder, it accentuates dry flaky spots on my skin.

The finish is not very matte nor glowy, it's just in between. The finish reminds me of the covergirl clean whipped cream foundation.

The staying power is quite good, it does not transfer.

The coverage is medium. I do not recommend to use the puff to apply the powder if you are going to use it as a foundation. With the puff it gives light to medium coverage; with mineral powder foundation brush it can build up to full coverage.

Overall, this powder is best for people with oily to combination skin. I am sure it can keep your oil on the bay in the summer. Plus, it has spf 35 protection, you can add it on top of your sunscreen and it will give better protection from sun.
