Claims of Lakme 9 to 5 Flawless Matt Complexion Compact

With a unique oil absorbing formula that gives you a matte and flawless look throughout the day. Infused with Vitamin E to condition your skin.

My take Lakme 9 to 5 Flawless Matt Complexion Compact

I went for Almond shade which suited my wheatish skin tone and after using it for some time, I am especially impressed with its satiny feel and the way it spreads so evenly on my skin. I have normal to dry skin type so problem didn’t really occur much except for the fact that it did not live upto its 9 to 5 claim. You would need regular touch-ups, especially the oily skin beauties. However, it mattifies skin impressively well and you would never complain about the chalky feel. It stays on keeping your light scars at bay like you have worn just nothing. It gives medium t light coverage which would happily hide your light scars and blemishes. However, Lakme 9 to 5 Flawless Matt Complexion Compact earns some minus points for not adding any SPF and its puff being such a dud.

Pros:

Matte look

Evens out skin tone

Weightless

Blends well

Has a satiny feel

The very very beautiful rosy peach packaging

Handy

Fairly priced

Cons:

The so-thin puff applicator

No SPF

Does not last 9 to 5

Not very suitable for oily, acne prone skin

Where’s the ingredient list, Lakme?

Rating: 4/5(-1 for no SPF, and the powder puff it comes with)

Will I repurchase or recommend Lakme 9 to 5 Flawless Matt Complexion Compact?

For the price it comes in offering so much, it definitely should have another shot. The rose gold packaging deserves many heart-eyed emojis making Lakme’s all efforts towards it worthwhile. There’s no harm trying it once for its so many pros! J
