Ok, so I recently bought a loose powder from Catrice and
felt I had to do I review on it. I discovered this range about a year ago and
fell in love, mainly due to the fact that all of their products are so
ridiculously cheap and usually as high a quality as the more expensive brands. I’ve always bought nail polishes and
lipsticks from this brand have bought one setting powder which was fine.
I love loose powder because I feel it goes on a lot easier
and doesn’t go hard I guess after a few uses, even if it is a bit messy! So I seen
the Catrice Prime and Fine translucent loose powder for only €5.95 (I think)
and had to buy it. I used it for about a week and thought this is perfect, even
if it did end up all over my floor. I did however notice that in some natural
light pictures it made my skin tone look a bit weird and uneven. I convinced
myself it was just me being conscious about using a new product like this on my
face and continued using it. I did end up wearing it on a night out though, and
realised it made my face look so white and ghostly, while making it look
incredibly uneven in photos. After seeing these I couldn’t wear it anymore and
am literally about to throw it in the bin. I’m too paranoid to be honest that that’s
how it was making my face look on a day-to-day basis.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and would definitely
say pay the extra €10 for a well-known brand, especially if it’s going anywhere
near your face (need I mention my Garda age card picture and cheap makeup
disaster). Other than that Catrices products are usually perfect for me and I
was quite disappointed I didn’t like this product, but I’ve learnt my lesson
now!
Has anyone else had any dodgy dealing with the Catrice
brand?! I’d love to know!
