My Experience with Maybelline Clear Glow All In One Fairness Compact Powder:
Maybelline Clear Glow powder comes in a light pink rectangular pan with two compartments built side by side, one for the powder and the other for the sponge. I like the fact that it comes with a mirror and a sponge applicator which makes it a travel friendly product! The sponge is quite good I must say! It really gives smooth and even coverage. It doesn’t get damaged or breaks even after washing, I’m saying this because I have seen sponges getting damaged after washing them. I feel this sponge gives better application of the compact than the powder brush so I usually apply it with this sponge. I lightly press the sponge on my face with a tiny amount of powder on it and it seems to give great even finish.
The powder has a smooth and silky texture and it doesn’t cake up on my dry skin. I feel it gives smooth and even coverage. The coverage is a bit more than sheer and I really love the fact how it brightens my face (say make it fair) and makes it matte. The staying power of this compact is around 3-4 hours. There are total 5 shades available in this compact and my shade is 02 n*de beige which suits my NC 35 skin tone perfectly. I generally like to use one shade lighter compact than my skin tone and that kind of balances my whole look and make me look fresh and vibrant. And this is what this compact does, it brightens my face and makes it look a shade light after I have done with all my base makeup. This is one affordable compact you must all give a try once, I think it’s good enough for all skin types and the bonus is that it comes with SPF 26 and PA++ protection, isn’t that incredible? Now you gotta try it out!!

BML Rating: 4.3/5
this is my nxt purchase… :D perfect tyming :D cool review and i love d packaging really… chambor has this kinda package .. i hvnt seen othr compacts lyk dz… i still suck when it comes to selecting shades :P
Def pick it up Vaishu, I’m sure you’ll love it, see I always read your mind and bring out product reviews that you wanted to know about :P To select your shade, swatch the powder in the store itself or ask the SA to help you in selecting your shade, choose the one that blends perfectly with your skin tone.

I had this but it broke in my bag and because there are little air vents on the packaging all the powder got all over my bag :(
Ohh I know how bad it feels when our makeup products breaks down :(
This one me and mu mum are using from years…and i love using it :)
:-)) :-)) Isn’t it great!!
Nicely Reviewed Girl :)
Its very pretty and cute packaging wise but wont suit my oily skin :(
Thanks Vipra, yeah I guess it won’t work much for oily skin but you have nothing to lose to try it out at just 185 bucks.
The other day I was planning to pick it up, glad I didn’t. Nice review as always
But why, it’s good enough to try out.
I will check it out.. Maybelline always has a lot of good budget products :)
Ya totally, do check it out!
I have used this and repurchased it so many times..I love the effect it gives to the skin.. The only downside is that for me I have to reapply it a few times in a day
Yeah that’s the only thing oily skin will have to do with this- frequent touch-up :)
Thankx for this nice review. Will check this out.
The price is so cool that even with an oily skin i can use it….no ahrm if it doesnt work! hehehhe…
Sounds nice to me :)
Nice post :-) :yes: .I have bought this last month and I use it day time. It’s good for my dry skin :-).
Arzoo can you also suggest any compact without SPF so I can use it in evenings. Beacuse 1 sales girl told me that any SPF product should be used before sunset, if used in evenings or night time occassions , the contant of the SPF makes skin dark. SPF is only to be used to get protection from sun and rays. SPF product should be used during day only.
So Now I have started making a list “day time product list” and “eve/night time product list”. I need your help :-)
I guess Streetwear has come up with decently priced and quality compacts without SPF, do try them out, I have two of them, will be reviewing them soon and the Rimmel one is also without SPF but I think that won’t work much for your dry skin in winters so lemme search for more good compacts without SPF and come back with a review for you :)
Thank you Arzoo ;-) , will check the Rimmel one.
Sure, do check it out!
I use it and I love it. I am a no makeup giel, just kajal and suncreen for me. But when i feel like doing something, i just use this compact and this makes me look fair and beautiful. I have super oily skin and it stays on me for 3 hours after which it needs touch ups. It even covers pores to an extent which is a boon for oily skinned beauties. Give it a try! :-* :-* 8-) :kissed: :inlove:
I have been using it and repurchased it :D totally in love with it plus it comes with an affordable price tag :) Nice review Arzoo..totally agree with you :)
I am using it since last 1 year. I am having Wheaties skin tone and very oily skin during summer time. But this product is amazing…
I bought it today i m really excited to start using it from tomorrow i hope to be full satisfied with this product
