Amidst the hustle of year-end parties or hectic work, we have only one main enemy: an oily face. Makeup that was flawless in the morning starts to fade, shift, and become shiny in the T-zone by midday. Ugh, it’s not ideal when you’re taking photos with your besties and your face is the most “shining” (but not in a good way), right?
Don’t worry, Salwa has the solution. A touch-up powder is like a secret weapon that you must have in your bag. But not all powders are suitable for layering over makeup, you know. Choosing the wrong one can make your makeup look cakey, like cracked foundation.
Here are 5 recommended compact powders chosen by Salwa Salon that you absolutely must put in your pouch right now:
-
Secondate Silky Blur Powder: Real-Life Paris Filter
A local brand with an international feel.
For those of you looking for a blurring effect that minimizes pores, this powder is the champion.
- Why Salwa Likes It: The texture is super fine! It contains Squalane and Peptides that keep the skin from drying out even with multiple touch-ups.
- Performance: It’s excellent at controlling oil, and most importantly: No Flashback. So it’s very safe for photos taken with flash at New Year’s Eve parties.
- Price: ± Rp 149,000

Maybelline Fit Me 24Hr Oil Control Powder Foundation
The Legend of Oil Control.
If your budget is limited but you want a powerhouse performance, go back to Maybelline.
- Main Strength: Its Oil Control is no joke. Claimed to last 24 hours (though we recommend washing your face before bed!).
- Protection: It already has SPF 44/PA++++. This is a big plus for touch-ups in the middle of the day.

Stylist’s Conclusion:
Choose a powder according to your skin’s needs. If you want something lightweight, go for Raine or Secondate. If you need extra coverage, Maybelline or Jacquelle are the key.
