SkinWhite 3-in-1 Face Cream Powder in Light Beige

A friend and I would sometimes talk about whitening products and she mentioned SkinWhite 3-in-1 Face Cream Powder, which she claims to be a convenient product especially when you are in a hurry and have no time to put on actual makeup. Out of curiosity, I tried it out and bought the Light Beige shade.

Price: 57.00 at Landmark supermarket in Trinoma
Scent: Okay. It smells good but not overwhelming
Texture: Smooth and easy to apply on the face. It's also light and it spreads evenly
Coverage: Light to medium. It provides ample coverage which hides dark spots and pimple scars. If you have dark circles under your eyes, the product won't completely hide them. It also lasts a long time as long as your face is not sweaty. It just feels like applying Maybelline BB Cream alone and not using concealer and and pressed powder after doing so.
Score: I'd give it an 8/10

I've been using the product for over a week now and I am happy with it. It's great as daytime makeup especially if you have no time to apply foundation, concealer, powder---the works. However, I recommend applying sunscreen with higher SPF first because this SkinWhite product only has SPF10 (if I remember it correctly from the box), which is not enough nowadays. I use Belo Essentials Sun Expert for the face and it has SPF40. Apply sunscreen on your face, let it settle or dry first, apply SkinWhite 3-in-1 Face Cream Powder, and then you're good to go.

The product is also available in the shade of White. I mistakenly bought that shade at first, thinking that it the product only comes in a single shade. I wouldn't recommend it for girls with a morena, olive or tan complexion because it will make your face look blotchy. Use the Light Beige variant if your skin tone is not naturally fair.

    1. I think it depends on your skin's reaction to the product (like do you get breakouts or does it eventually become oily later during the day), but if you think that you don't need sun protection or a matte-looking face while asleep, then just use an appropriate night cream or a versatile moisturizer for the face. That way, your skin can also regenerate properly as you sleep.
