KAY beauty compact powder 170Y Tan review

So I used KAY beauty compact powder in the shade 170Y Tan as a bronzer, and here’s my review

I’ve been loving most of the KAY beauty products lately and hence thought of trying one more product from their range which was their compact powder, but this time I went in and bought a darker shade to use as a bronzer and to be honest I loved how this one worked.

I am actually not a fan of compact powders , I just use them to set my under eyes and sometimes my T-Zone, I was looking around for good budget bronzers on Nykaa , but nothing seemed impressing to me. Then I came across IndianBudgetBeauty Blogs compilation for dupes of high end products and she had shared that Kay Beautys 180 Y Deep is a dupe for Benefits Hoola Bronzer,and that caught my attention, although I didn’t go for 180 Y instead I went for 170 Y Tan , since I just wanted to add some warmth on my face and not go any crazy and now here we are.

The packaging is really sleek , lightweight and simple as you can see in the picture. Comes in an outer cardboard box which has a sponge inside of the box as an extra protection to the actual product. The compact container has a mirror as well.

The product retails for INR 799/- and I got for around 15% off from Nykaa.

It claims to be feathery light that would mop away any extra oil, which I totally agree on. But when you swirl the brush on the pan , the product tends to collect powder and look powdery on the surface. I have not faced similar issue with any other compact powders. I guess the reason could be the size of the pan, it is way to thin. I guess the thickness could have been better for the pan.

Ingredients list is amazing, it contains Avocado and Mango butter for deep moisturization and intense hydration, that not only brightens but minimizes appearance of any fine lines. To top it off , it also contains Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid that would lock in moisture and provide suppleness.

The shade range is really amazing.

So like I mentioned I use this product as a bronzer to add warmth on my face , after I am done with my foundation and concealer. I like to bronze on my forehead ,near the hollows of my cheek and my jawline. I love how subtle it looks and not make it appear like a crazy fake tan and you can see in the image, how beautifully it worked as a bronzer and added that much needed depth on my face , sculpted my features and accentuated my cheekbones.
