I’ve been looking for a compact to suit my skin for years now and having an oily to
combination skin can really wreck your day, I usually go for any makeup which is oil
free or mineral based. I came across the Lakme Perfect Radiance Compact in their store
once; they were giving out samples on the product. So I decided to get one and try it out.
This is what the Company had to say about the product:
New Multi-Mineral Skin Lightening compact SPF 20 for a visibly fairer skin.
It flawlessly blends into your skin making it look visibly fairer and translucent radiant.
It’s great for your skin with UVA/UVB filters for sun protection and the goodness of
Multi-Minerals.
Its unique formula contains SPF 20, Multi-Minerals, Brightening Pearls, and Vitamin B3
Its Oil free, Light Weight, Suitable for everyday use
The product comes in a range of six shades;
01 Ivory Fair, 02 Rose Fair, 03 Golden Medium, 04 Rose Medium, 05 Beige Honey,
06 Rose Honey
Price: Rs. 150 for 8g
About the Product:
The compact is quite nice, It’s light weight and very easy to carry around. It looks dry but
the texture is very light and moist. The powder puff is not durable at all; mine wore out
only after three months and didn’t help in blending either. I used a sponge instead and it’s
far better for application. The texture is quite easy to work with and the same to apply.
I use the Rose Fair 02 shade and sometimes the Ivory 01 shade; it helps balance out my
skin. My blemishes are covered and invisible for the most part. It feels very natural to the
skin. It doesn’t leave a powdered look and once settled gives me a clear finish
Pros:
-It feels light, lets my skin breath and does brightens my skin
Its Oil Free, doesn’t leave a greasy look and last for 6 hrs without retouching my
face
-Multi-Minerals and SPF 20 are an added plus for any skin
-It’s light and perfect for daily use
-It contains Vitamin B3 which helps in reducing any redness
-Its perfect for all skin types
-It comes in a variety of shades

Cons:
-Like I said before, I don’t like the powder puff and it was a complete waste of
time. It didn’t help with the blending and use of the product what so ever. A
sponge would have been so much better
Conclusion:
I believe this compact works well for any skin type, I wouldn’t trade it for any other
compact in the world. Like I said before, I have oily/combination skin which is really
sensitive and this is the first compact to completely agree with my skin. However if your
skin is on the dryer side, I would recommend using a moisturizer before applying the
compact.
Overall I think this compact really works well to brighten my skin. It’s done well for me
so far. It feels like a second skin and is just the right product to use everyday. I just apply
it quick when I’m on my way out looking clear, fresh and practically spotless.
With everything been said, I love this compact and would buy it time and time again, I
can truly say it’s a perfect match. I would definitely recommend this compact to any of
my friends.
Rating: I would rate the Lakme Perfect Radiance Compact a 4.5 / 5
