Why I Love Lakme brand?

Now usually this is not a part of review. But still as this is my first post for this brand lakme, I would like to add few words about why I love lakme. I think this is the one and only brand that has an entire range of products in the Indian market with all different price tags. The products are nice quality at affordable ranges. It has variety of ranges, there are enrich satin, enrich matte, 9-5 range etc – these lie in a low to middle category. Whereas there Lakme Absolute range which lies in a higher range category.

Now a little bit about me, when I was in college I always wanted to buy makeup from a good brand and as that time I use to a little pocket money, I was never able to buy good quality makeup products. But one day my friend introduced me to this brand and ever since that time, I started using makeup products from Lakme. I still remember my first makeup product was lakme invisible foundation which was for Rs. 99 at that time. So here I would really like to thank lakme from the bottom of my heart for bringing such a good quality makeup from all ranges at all different price tags.

In Detail Lakme Absolute Creme Compact Review, Swatches and My Experience

I can see that the Lakme is working extremely hard when it comes to the packaging of the products. This cute little baby comes in a classy grey plastic box with a metallic shine. There are two compartments in the compact, in the upper compartment there is the actual cream compact and on bottom compartment there is a sponge. I also like the fact that it comes with its own mirror. Overall very impressed with the packaging.

They have a limited shade selection in this Absolute flawless creme compact range. They only have 4 shades to offer in this collection. So beauties with the deeper skin won’t find an appropriate shade for themselves.

Lakme Absolute Creme Compact Shades Available

1. Lakme Absolute Creme Compact Marble
2. Lakme Absolute Creme Compact Shell
3. Lakme Absolute Creme Compact Coral
4. Lakme Absolute Creme Compact Pearl

Now I am not a big fan of cream products as I have combination-to oily skin. Cream products make my skin look more oily and greasy. But the attractive packaging of the lakme absolute cream compact pulled me towards it and I bought it. I like to use this cream compact as a foundation and then top it up with a powder compact.

This cream compact is very- very light on the skin. When you apply this compact, it just feels your skin but better. This compact offers light to medium coverage. Although if offers you some coverage, it won’t hide any marks or blemishes on the face. This compact has strong yellow undertones to it so it will instantly brighten up the skin. This is a good compact if you are looking for something light weight on the skin for an every day basis. I am totally in love with this compact. I wish they would have increased the quantity of the product. As this products ends up soon. Now this shade which I bought is called shell and will suit medium skin tones. So if you have medium skin tone, you can go for this compact in shade shell.

Lakme absolute creme compact is very good for people with normal to dry skin. Oily skin beauties won’t like this product a lot I think. The texture of the compact is absolutely smooth and buttery. It glides on the face very easily and blends nicely. I like to apply the product with the sponge applicator provided. Although the sponge soaks up a bit of product, but I can’t see any other method to apply this. If you want you can also use a foundation brush to apply the compact.

Now coming on to the staying power the Lakme absolute cream compact in shade shell stayed on my combination to oily skin for 4-5 hours after that the coverage started fading.
