Palgantong - Theatrical Powder (Face Powder) Review. Like second skin!

Face powder is one of the products I HAVE to put on before I leave the house. As I have combination /oily skin it is detrimental to maintaining my matte skin. On weekends if I don't plan on wearing any makeup, I still put on a bit of powder.

Back when I was in University, when I was getting into Japanese cosmetics I would spend hours just browsing different products. Palgantong Theatrical Powder always popped up. I never took the plunge to purchase, despite all of the raving reviews.

Fast forward to last October, when I was shopping in Tokyo, I saw this and grabbed it immediately.

The history of the brand is rather interesting. As per their website, Palganton means "Red Box". The brand is know to be "born in Korea, grown in Japan".

Taken from Beauty and Minerals website:

With over 5 million units sold in Japan, this loose powder is a big favourite among Korean movie stars with the flawless finish it gives the face, when worn on top of foundation/makeup!

I'm really glad I picked this up, because it has become my new favourite setting powder.
