The Bourjois Silk Edition Compact Powder is a pressed powder housed in glossy black plastic compact packaging with a large handy twistable mirror. The packaging seems sturdy enough to survive travelling, without shattering the product inside. I use powder every time I wear foundation, tinted moisturizer or CC Cream to set it and mattify the complexion. If I remember correctly I’ve pretty much mainly used drugstore powders in the past and I’ve yet to find one that will tick all my boxes (set the makeup and mattify the complexion without making it look cakey, especially after mid-day touch ups). This product also comes with a soft flat sponge, but I threw it out, because I find that powders apply best with a large fluffy brush. The powder has a noticeable scent, but it’s not too strong. This powder is supposed to smoothe pores and fine lines, even skin tone and mattify the skin for up to 8 hours.
