Love it: Bourjois Healthy Mix Pressed Powder

Powder is one of those beauty products that have a lot of people divided – do you really need it, and why? It’s safe to say however that not all powder is created equal, and the plethora of formulas – and price points – that are all over the marketplace means that there is plenty to choose from, no matter what your skin type.

A new addition to their super popular Healthy Mix range, Bourjois Healthy Mix Pressed Powder calls itself an “anti-fatigue powder”, which is a first for me! It claims to reveal the skin’s radiance while providing an even and matte complexion, a factor that initially made me stop and think. Does an ‘even and matte complexion’ mean it won’t work for a dry skin like mine? How wrong I could be!

Clocking in at a super reasonable RRP $36.00, it is a very clever and unique formula in that it comes enriched with Asian fruit ingredients like yuzu that help give your skin a matte and balanced finish without overloading or drying it out. 

A lot of matte powders tend to give me a dull, dry-looking complexion so I usually steer clear, but this one is just so, so different. It’s also a cinch to use as it's quicker than having to shake out loose powder when you’re in a rush, which probably only requires a few more seconds, but time is of the essence in the mornings! It also means less mess in the bathroom, and the slim compact is great to travel with and pop in my handbag for touch ups on the go.

Highly recommended even if your skin is on the dry side, Bourjois Healthy Mix Pressed Powder is available right now in Vanilla, Light Beige, Dark Beige and Light Bronze.
