Prestige TouchTone Cream to Powder Makeup Review

**Image credit : E-bay**

According to Prestige's website:

Full coverage, yet light in weight

Hides skins flaws and even out imperfect skintones
Oil free and oil- absorbent. Never ashy.

Cream to powder application tips:
*Apply with a dry or damp sponge (a damp sponge produces a lighter finish). Use very little at a time in a patting motion, stating under eyes and the center of the face going outwards.

Pat on a bit more to cover blemishes or imperfections.

Available in 12 shades.

Weight: 0.35 oz or 10 grams

I'm looking for a cream foundation that feels light on the skin and oil- free. My model friend recommended The Face Shop's Dewy Flower Skin Cover. When I tested the product at the back of my hand, its a bit cakey and the lightest one is too dark on my skintone (#23 natural beige). Maybe blame it on the shop's lighting or the tester is a bit old?!?
Anyways, sayang coz I love its chic packaging paman!

My search is over, when I went to Beauty Bar I ended up buying their Cream to Powder Makeup! When I tested the product on my hand, its really creamy and dries quickly (to powder). It has a light scent (almost unscented) which I love! I got the SAND shade and it matches perfectly with my NC20-25 skintone.

it looks invisible on my face when blended! Perfect match!

When I apply this, there's no need to put concealer on my dark undereye circles coz this already covered 'em up.. To think I used a damp sponge during application.. =)

I heart Nivea..

Proud to be a Nivea girl! I love their products especially their lotions & moisturisers!
Some products that I'm using now:

Nivea Sensitive Balance cleansing milk - a makeup remover that's gentle. Especially formulated for sensitive skin. My fellow Girltalker Jheng, also love this one. Read her complete product review here.

Nivea Body Whitening milk repair lotion - has UVA/UVB filters, White bioactive & Vitamin E. I use this everyday, this prevents my arms from darkening when exposed to the sun while am driving every morning.

Nivea Body Intensive Milk lotion - formulated for dry skin. It has Vitamin A derived from Avocado oil. I use this every night after bath (before going to bed.)

Nivea Body & Soul Skin Oil - a fast absorbing oil with Calendula, Tangerine & Lavender fragrance. Very relaxing scent and really moisturising!

Nivea Anti-wrinkle eye cream with Q10 plus - promises to reduce undereye wrinkles. Been using this for a while but I haven't noticed results yet.. But I read Mylene Dizon is a fan of this.

Nivea Face Sunblock whitening cream SPF 50 - with Licorice Extract to whiten skin. I love it coz its fast absorbing, but my face feels itchy after i use this. I really have to find my HG sunblock =(

Nivea Visage Multiple white spot corrector serum - with Multiple white & Vit C to lighten skin pigmentation. I use this before applying Nivea Night cream.

Now for my HG moisturisers

Nivea Visage Multiple Whitening night cream - a rich cream that really moisturises my face & neck.

Nivea Visage Multiple Whitening fluid with SPF 15 - with oil absorbing particles. I use this every morning before applying makeup. I love this coz its really light on the skin and really mild.


NIVEA products that I used before:
> Lipbalm in Cherry - yummy! I just love its flavor!
> Visage Whitening Eye cream - a waste of money! Didn't lighten my undereye circles.
> Whitening Spot Treatment Cream - I thought its a face cream! wahaha.. I used it on my face before as night cream.. Luckily, i didn't have break out..
> Visage Multiple Whitening Toner - an alcohol free toner. I forgot why I stopped using it.
> Visage Whitening Facial foam - i just love how it cleanses my face but I had breakouts.
> UVA/UVB Lotion - i forgot the exact name.

Products I want to try soon..
> So Soft Cream (for face)
> Extra Whitening Milk repair lotion

How about you? What products do you like from Nivea? =)
