I used to use the K** compact because it was moisturizing even with blemishes, as my skin was extremely dry. However, it was expensive and a bit too sticky, so I stopped using it. This one is quite interesting though. It feels cool as soon as you apply it to your face. I liked the cooling effect, and I didn't even need to store it in a cool place. Usually, I had to spread the compact around my nose with my fingers, but with this one, it spreads thinly without effort and doesn't look cakey. I have combination skin and I'm concerned about wrinkles, so I always need to use something moisturizing. I felt this was perfect for summer use. It would be even better for those with dry skin. They say it combines high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, and it seems to be true. Plus, it has a high SPF and contains rosehip, cactus stem, and peppermint for brightening, anti-aging, and sun protection effects. It definitely didn't settle into wrinkles. I think the cooling sensation might be thanks to the peppermint. Just to be safe, I applied some sunscreen after my skincare routine and let it absorb well before patting on the compact. You could probably use just the compact alone, but I prefer to apply thoroughly from the start as I find touch-ups bothersome. The puff is a bit thick and teardrop-shaped, which is common. It's made of Ruby Cell material, which is said to improve the adherence of the base and is water-resistant, preventing product absorption. I haven't used it much yet, but compared to my usual puffs that shrink and thin out when washed, this one's shape and material are noticeably different. I have yellowish skin that tans easily and takes a while to recover. When I used shade 21, there was a slight difference with my neck color, so I blended it down. I think shades 21 or 23 would work for most people unless you have very dark skin. Shade 21 didn't look out of place on me. I liked that it came with a refill. I think I'll be able to use it comfortably throughout the summer. I was worried about potential blemishes or pore-clogging, but it was quite moisturizing without any of those issues, which I really appreciated.
ConsWhile I loved how it made my skin look moisturized and radiant without settling into wrinkles or pores, as someone with combination skin, it's inevitable to get a bit oily and shiny when sweating in the summer. If you apply too much or don't let it absorb properly before going out, your hair might stick to your face. Blotting with oil-absorbing sheets and gently patting helped. It didn't emphasize dead skin cells, so overall, I found it quite satisfactory.
TipSome people only apply toner and compact powder in summer, but no matter how hot it gets, proper skincare before makeup helps it adhere better. Even with a hydrating compact, this holds true. Make sure to let your skincare absorb well, use blotting papers regularly, and pat on the compact. This approach helped my makeup last longer and was more hygienic.
