SilkyGirl Cosmetics Philippines | Magic BB Cushion, Duo Blusher and Skin Perfect Foundation

This Malaysian brand has been a staple at over a thousand of beauty counters in  Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia. Being an affordable drugstore makeup brand, SilkyGirl Cosmetics also successfully penetrated the PH market (you can see them at Robinsons beauty section and supermarket). 

It is my first time to ever try some of their popular products. So in this post, I'll be sharing my honest thoughts about them. Let's see if they deserve a space inside your vanity drawers :) 

The following products were sent by SilkyGirl Philippines for free. I received the Magic BB Cushion, Shimmer Duo Blusher and Skin Perfect Liquid Foundation. 

Silky Girl Magic BB Cushion

Shades: 01 Natural Light and 02 Natural Medium

Specifics: 15 grams | SPF 50 / PA +++ | Fragrance-free and formulated for Asian skin

Claims: Brightens and evens skin tone | Has antioxidant protects skin from free radicals | Hydrates and moisturizes skin for fresh and youthful skin | Has 12 hours oil-control and long-wearing

I tried shade 01 Natural Light. The packaging is nice, simple yet classy. The applicator (cushion puff) is soft and refined, but absorbs much of the product. When applied on the skin, I noticed that the formula is a bit thick, which make blending a challenge. But I do love that it has medium to full coverage, concealing most of my imperfections (redness and pores). Plus, it is fragrance-free, which is awesome.

Though I felt that it is a little dry on the skin (since I'm used to dewy cushions from Korean brands), it does controls oil pretty well.  

Silky Girl Shimmer Duo Blusher

Shades: sunny glow, blushing pink, cheeky peach, rose petal

Specifics: 4 grams | two shades in one pan; comes with a brush

The packaging deserves an applause! I like it because the cover is thick, doesn't feel cheap and has a separate compartment for the brush. 

However, I have quite an issue with the shades. They look nice on the pan, but when I applied it on my cheeks using the free brush, it was too powdery that it doesn't adhere well on my skin. There is enough shimmer, but the pigmentation is somehow lacking. You must apply layers and layers just to achieve the visible color. 

Silky Girl Skin Perfect Liquid Foundation

Shades: 01 Light, 02 Natural, 03 Medium, 04 Tan

Specifics: 25 ml | SPF 30 / PA +++ | Fragrance-free

Claims: Contains Nano Seaweed plus Vitamin E, Nanospheres 100 and Vitamin A and O2+ Complex | Smooth and natural finish | Non-comedogenic

The size is sooo perfect for travel. I appreciate that it do not make use of glass bottles (that's why it will easily fit inside your makeup kit since it's only a small tube). Upon application, the consistency is quite thin, which make it super blendable. 

I honestly thought that it will be cakey and oily a few minutes after application. However, I was amazed that it sets pretty well---doesn't feel heavy nor dry on the skin. Like, am I really wearing a foundation?! You can certainly go from medium to full coverage, with no issues in fragrance, staying power and oil control. Though I just find the shades limited to certain skin tones, yet mixing of shades may work to achieve your color.  

VERDICT

And since I'm not aware how much these products cost, I cannot really tell if they are affordable or worth the price. But being a drugstore makeup, given the above observations, I must say that the cushion and foundation are worth buying. I'm just not happy with the blush, hoping they are more pigmented. 

They still have other products for the eyes and lips, which hopefully we can try as well :)
