What does the company Say: 
Long-lasting powder foundation made from the purest minerals. The powders act like a protective veil to naturally defend the skin against sun damage with SPF 25. Applies evenly and blends easily for a radiant, natural-looking complexion. Non pore-clogging. Colour builds easily to provide an adjustable light to medium coverage. Effectively reduces the appearance of redness, imperfections, blemishes and visible pores. Preservative-free, fragrance-free. Dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic.

Yay's
  • Has minerals- which are supposed to be good for your skin
  • Has SPF 25
  • Preservative-free, fragrance-free. Dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic.

Nay's
  • Costly at Rs.1145/- for 5g of product
  • Provides Negligible coverage even for minor skin imperfections - a loose powder will work better than this!
  • No matter how much u layer on - no foundation like effect!


The Last Word:

I had tried this wanting something containing minerals to avoid skin breakouts etc. BUT it does nothing for me in terms of what a foundation is supposed to do - no evening out of skintone - no coverage - not even some mattifying action!! I use the foundation brush from body shop to apply this - but unless you apply some heavy-duty concealer before- applying this will not give u any coverage! When a company says 'natural-looking' - it should not mean what you naturally look like! Feels like a rip-off with that price tag! No Thanks next time!
