Faces Silken Finish Pressed Powder Review

10 Replies
We have already gone through the reviews of Glam on Eyeshadow duo and Glam on Silken Peach lipstick from faces cosmetics. Now, I am reviewing the Silken Pressed Powder. This silken finish pressed powder has few other shades but unfortunately I got this ivory one, which is meant for pale skin tones. I was happy that I received the peach lipstick and this thing made me say uff.. Well, that’s okay. Luckily, this doesn’t give any ghost look on me 😛 I am using it now and then slightly to touch up my foundation and concealer and it works pretty good on me. By the way, the name Silken finish is very attractive and the range is promising too. Let us move on to my detailed review on this Faces Silken Finish Pressed Powder.

My Views and Ratings
Packaging
The faces silken finish pressed powder comes in a pack that most of the other compacts come, round and flat. It has a press type opening so it is very travel friendly. The other good things about packaging are it’s glossy black colour which makes it look classy and the white puff inside is quite good too, but still I prefer brush for a good finish. It has a mirror, so another plus. I loved the whole packaging but still I expected the mirror to be more wide like that of the glam on eyeshadow duo from faces. (I know, greedy me) 😛
4.5/5

Colour, Texture and Fragrance
As I said before I got the ivory shade for my dusky skin type. he he 😛 Thought that it’s going to give some chalky look but luckily it saved me from looking like a ghost. The ivory shade is very light in colour, would suit pale skins wonderfully. There are decent number of other shades available, so that you can choose one which suits your skin type. The powder is so smooth and thin and has a mild fragrance which every other compact has. Nothing bad to say about it’s CTF factor.
5/5

How it Works
 As per the name, it is silky! Yes! It is very smooth in texture, spreads easily without being thick or streaky. The compact stays for a decent time of 6 hours if applied in bare skin and it increases the staying powder of the foundation if topped up with it. This leaves face fresh and oil free, however dry skins will need a good moisturizer to avoid dryness. The coverage is low-medium, it hides minor imperfections and makes skin glow. I faced no side effects or breakouts with it and overall, a great pressed powder for everyday wear! 
4.5/5
PROS
  1. Smooth and silky finish, spreads evenly onto the facial skin.
  2. Doesn’t gives any chalky look.
  3. Comes with a puff and a mirror inside.
  4. Sturdy packaging makes it very travel friendly.
  5. Hides minor imperfections and makes skin glow instantly.
  6. Decent staying power of 6 to 7 hours.
  7. One of the best pressed powder for setting foundations. 
  8. 9g is a pretty good quantity, so cant blame the price.
  9. No side effects or breakouts. Very gentle on skin.
  10. The fragrance is mild, not so overpowering.
  11. A great boon for oily skinned beauties, however dry skins will need a moisturizer to avoid stretchy feel.
  12. Controls excess oil secretion.
  13. Perfect for everyday use.
CONS
  1. No cons I find in it. Just wished the mirror to be more wide 😛 
  2. Contain parabens, every other product nowadays do so.
My Recommendation: A worthy buy for oily skinned beauties in all the seasons! Dry skins will need a moisturizer though.
Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Will I repurchase?: Yes I will. This is going to be my everyday summer compact.

Hiya girls! Previously I reviewed the Glam On Eyeshadow duo from the New Faces Silk Luxury Makeup Range and now comes the lipstick review. I have a huge craze about lipsticks, that too the ones with more coverage and mild shade 😛 I don’t prefer bright reds or pinks much as I am dusky. I love all plum, peach and nude shades. Luckily, I got this “Silken Peach” shade lipstick in my faces makeup kit. So, I was super excited to use this and using it for past few days. There are many more shades in this range such as barely there, Candy pink, Crimson, Wine, Red Coral etc.

Faces Glam On Lipstick in Silken Peach Shade Review
Colour, Texture and Fragrance
The whole range of these lipsticks is entirely different. This Silken Peach one I got looks deep peach mixed with slight pink in colour, with tiny peach glitters in it. I can hardly see the glitters though. It has a very smooth texture and a lovely vanilla + chocolate fragrance which is so sweet and romantic!

How it works on Me
Sorry, I am not showing the swatch on my lips due to my laziness as usual 😀 but I do have a lot to say about this peach lipstick. It glides onto my lips so smoothly without any hardness and gives a opaque effect with just 2 swipes. The lipstick is highly pigmented and super peachy in colour. A great boon to dusky and dark beauties yippee! The fragrance is so yummy and stays for a hour or so, after that no fragrance but the colour stays for decently time of 5 to 6 hours even with mild food intake. If used with a primer, you can expect it all day long! It gives a semi glossy finish which is also satisfying but the only thing I wanted is some moisturizing power because it doesn’t moisturize at all, it doesn’t dry out as well. But dry lips will need a lip balm before applying it. Overall, a nice peachy shade with a lovely choco vanilla fragrance and great staying power. Love it!
4.5/5
Hey don’t forget to read the Faces Glam on Eyeshadow Duo HERE. I am sure you will love it too!
PROS
  1. Lovely Peachy shade which I admire most!
  2. Spreads on my lips like silk. No hardness in applying.
  3. Gives a fuller lip effect, the shade goes opaque with just 1 or 2 swipes.
  4. Great staying power.
  5. The range has so many different shades to try.
  6. A single pack lasts longer so the  price can’t be consired as a con.
  7. Sturdy packaging, hence travel friendly.
  8. Super duper Choco Vanilla fragrance. No one can hate it. 
  9. Highly pigmented, gives a nice coverage.
  10. Dusky skins will love it!
CONS
  1. Need some moisturizing power. This lipstick might be drying for extremely dry lips.
Recommendation: Surely a beautiful peach shade. I highly recommend. Dry lips will need a lip balm though.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5 

Will I repurchase?: Sure! The peach shade suits my dusky skin well.

Hey girls! Today, I am reviewing an eyeshadow duo (2 shades) from the new Silk Luxury Makeup Range of Faces Canada Cosmetics which I received few days back (Photos and Preview HERE). Eyeshadow? I am not that expert in using shades, just a beginner to be frank. Still, I will give my best for this review now. This eyeshadow duo is one among the products in the Silk Range set, and I am reviewing this first for my sweet readers who asked me to do so. . In this post, I am also going to do a EOTD for you! he he 😛 Enjoy the swatches, pictures and the entire review now. (I don’t want to blabber and waste your time more)

My Views and Ratings
The Packaging
Oh god! The packaging is so cute, glossy and sturdy! Classy too. The eyeshadow duo comes in a small rectangular shaped glossy case with a wide mirror and a pretty eyeshadow brush inside it. Short and sweetly, it is very beautiful, compact and travel friendly. Nothing bad I could find in it.
5/5
Colour and Texture
The duo I got had 2 shades. One is amber and the other one pinkish rose, not so overpowering, it’s really mild and lovely. The amber shade has bronze glitters and the rose one has light pink glitters on them, To say about the texture, it is so smooth, glides so easily onto the delicate skin without any clump and yes! It’s pretty smooth, rich and silky as per the name. Both shades had glittery shimmer effect which I loved the most. No complaints about the colour & texture factor too! I can’t even find one.
5/5
Faces Glam On Eyeshadow Duo – Amber (Swatches)
How it Works
I am going to finish this part short and sweet, you will know more wonderful things about this eyeshadow seeing my EOTD. The shades are so lovely as they would suit most of the skin colours. Dark, pale, dusky whatever you are! These shadows just gives a flattering effect when worn as single or both mixed together. I prefer using single shade sometimes matching my outfit, thick double duo combination for parties and a very mild duo combination for shopping, hang outs etc. The dull rose near lash line and the amber on the brow line looks really beautiful, however you can do whatever mixing with these duos to make your eyes beautiful. I am just an eyeshadow beginner, yet I feel this one more easy and comfortable for application and getting the effect I desire. The best thing about this duo next to the shade is the staying power. It stays for 5 hours without fading without a primer and 8+ hours you can expect with your primer. The shadow doesn’t crease, clump or fade unevenly. Hoo hoo short and sweet? I did this part more long 😛 because I love the duo so much! Seeing the quantity and the quality, it’s inexpensive I would say. Overall, its a good duo with a great staying power, lovely shades, shimmer effect, smooth texture and a good shelf life of 3 years. A single pan will last longer really. Give a try for sure! There are some other shades from on this Duo case. The new Silk Range Duo rocks as per the claims!

  2. The glittery particles gives a rich effect and highlights eyes and brow bone line.

  7. These duo shades suits with most of the other shades, you can mix it for different effects.

  13. Fragrance is very mild, you cannot find any artificial flavour in it.
  14. A good shelf life, so you can use for years.
