AVON Ideal White Dual Powder Foundation

I love using Oil-Free Moisturizers for my daily skin care. As much as possible, I try to put on a SPF infused foundation on my facial area when using a non-SPF moisturizer to prevent the harsh effects of UVA/UVB rays in my precious birthday suit. But what I am not in favor of the majority of these SPF packed moisturizers is that they tend to leave a white cast into our skin especially when you are captured by a flashing camera. Edward Cullen ang peg, only the scary version type and not the romantic one. Another problem of mine is that I have an oil-well on my T-zone area, so I steer clear of make-up bases and liquid foundation on my everyday make-up routine. Or else, I'll look like a wet mud ready for moulding. Vomit!!!

Gone are the days where one has to worry about not finding the right product for a specific skin type. Now, there are a lot of SPF infused powder foundation to choose from to address our individual "kaartehans". 

This March 2013, Avon is launching their improved line of Ideal White facial bases, which promises to protect the skin while working hard to lighten and improve uneven skin tone. Knowing my skin type and concerns above, I choose to try their Ideal White Dual Powder Foundation.

• Since it is in powder form, it triggers less oil compare to liquid foundations.
• Easy to blend.
• The case has a slim design which perfectly fits a cosmetic or an evening pouch. 

Miss: 

• It becomes cakey when exposed to sweat.
• It is not intended for pro-longed sun exposure.
• Not waterproof.
• Avoid patting too much of the product into your face. You may end up looking like a pastillas rolled in milk powder.

If you are planning to join sweaty activities under the sun, it is wise to invest into water and sweat proof lotions and sprays. Majority of SPF infused cosmetics like the product reviewed above is only intended to protect you of reflected rays and not those that are coming directly from the scorching sun.
