Laneige Air Light Finishing Compact

 My MAC Studio Fix was running out (not even sure they have that range!) and I thought I'd try something new. Got this off Gmarket since I really liked their foundation, I thought this would be good too. 

I did quite a bit of research to check out their other compacts, and felt this would offer sufficient coverage on days I may not want to wear bb cream.

What is it: A pressed powder that supposedly brightens and gives your skin a transparent quality.  Contains air light minerals.

 Bought it in Natural Beige No. 2. 

It comes in a square shaped compact with a little plastic separator for the puff, which I thought was kind of awkward, but alright, since it keeps the puff clean. 

Coverage- Very light. When applied on top of my bb cream, it creates a very poreless, matte finish, which is nice. I haven't tried it on my bare face yet though. I think the puff does nothing to help a smooth application though... may be better to use your own slightly more porous sponge.

Color- My MAC color is usually NC30, and this has a pinkier tone which gives skin a slightly brighter look. It does work a little better than MAC's which is more yellow-based. I feel it looks better when used under the eyes too to set concealer. 

So would I buy it again after it's done? I'm not sure yet. I think I may need something that provides a little more coverage. It really is as the name states, a finishing powder. However the good thing is that it didn't break out my sensitive, combination skin, which is a huge plus. 

I bought this online here for SGD37.90, but I'm sure it costs more from the department shops.
