Fanbo Compact Powder in Pancake Gold Review

 

Due to the heat and humidity in Malaysia, most of us are in search for good makeup products that will last us throughout the day. Of course, good bases are what many of us are in search for and as such, finding a good layer to match our skin tone and type is what covers the foundation of it.

With regards, setting powders are definitely one of them when it comes to this and other than setting the skin for a longer lasting finish, a good setting powder also seals the deal to brighten and contour the face as well. So investment here is key and lately a new product has came our way all the way from Indonesia and that is the Fanbo Compact Powder in Pancake Gold.

Fanbo Compact Powder in Pancake Gold

Now the one that we have in hand has 5 shades, but on the site, it is available in 6 in total. It is described on the site as a compact powder that is suited towards all skin types and is able to absorb excess oil on the face while making makeup last longer. It is also said to be hydrating as well and maintains the skin's natural moisture too.

So admittedly, these are very promising aspects to have in a compact powder, so let's quickly break it down for you. So first off we have the packaging. The packaging of the Fanbo Gold Compact Powder in Pancake Gold comes in a brown toned, gold embossed compact that is quite slim when held in the palm of your hand. There is 22.5g worth of product inside and it is compact enough to fit it into your pocket to bring with you on the go.

Next we take a look at the inside. There is a powder puff to go along with the product which is pressed pretty nicely into the pan. Formulation wise is quite soft too and doesn't have a scent to it which is really nice.

Now in terms of the shade range and application, the one we have here is in shades 1-5. The color collection is pretty nice for a compact powder and what is unique about it is that they have a varied line for both warm and cool undertones as you can see from the above. Notably, the color range is also suitable for asian and southeast asian skin tones too which is really nice.

Shade 1 and Shade 5 are two of our favourites as they are nicely warm toned to brighten up the under-eyes for sculpting, but if you prefer more of a cool tone shade, you can always opt for Shade 2 and 4 instead. Shade 3 is more of a neutral toned base so that particular one is pretty versatile and can go between both cool and warm undertones.

So with that, let's finally talk about its application. Now looking at the product list, the Fanbo Compact Powder in Pancake Gold doesn't really contain too many material ingredients to a point that its overwhelming and that is a really good thing because not only is it super soft to the touch, but it is also very lightweight upon application which we really enjoy. 

Wearing the Fanbo Compact Powder in Pancake Gold in Shade 1

Coverage wise, it does well too and it evens out the complexion with little to no effort at all and this is applied to both either a damp sponge or with a makeup brush application. It also looks really natural on the skin too, so much so that you can opt to wear it on its own other than applying it on top of liquid foundation as well. On overall, the powder goes on well, doesn't cake up (due to having a hydrating factor within) and is also very easy to remove with a simple micellar water cleanser or a good oil and foam one.
