PROS

• Affordable
• Medium coverage.Now I know why they call it a compact and not a powder.
• Blends easily
• Does brighten up my face
• Has SPF 18
• Oil free
• Great for people who needs light coverage

CONS

• The chalky white shade , It gives a pathetic white cast
• Limited shade selection for people with darker skin
• Vit C is unstable ,How did they manage to store it in 9 gms of powder ?(ha, my Chem textbook says so)
• It is NOT an alternative to sunscreen, contrary to what Diana Penty claims in the advertisement.
•  Not the best pal for oil control , I will prefer Maybelline dream matte powder over it anyday.

SWATCHES 

As you can see , Dream matte is sheerer while UV compact gives more coverage.

Btw I have shade "NUDE" in UV compact and "honey beige" in dream matte mousse . "nude" gives me a brighter complexion while MDM is great for oil control.

TIPS

• Use it with a Powder/Kabuki, puff picks up WAY too much of product.
• You may use it after applying the sunblock to reduce the greasiness and provide you with some coverage
• DONT confuse it with a SETTING powder , use it after foundation only if you fancy a high coverage . FOUNDATION+ Maybelline UV compact is too heavy for me . I prefer something lighter to set my TM/concealer with. Like maybelline Dream matte mousse/MAC prep+prime or Maybelline loose powder.

OVERALL
This is a great budget buy .I am on my second pan , I got this when I was a novice at make up and liked it a lot as a beginner . But as I ventured deep into the make up , I realised it is not the most smooth powder  .But when I am in a rush , I just use this with a Kabuki and I'm ready to go.
A thumbs up from me.You wont get a better deal at a price so LOW !!

Till then Take care !
