In Malaysia, this particular powder is called Bedak Arab (Arabic Powder). Not sure why is it called that way. But it is really popular.
I got this from my sister. Her complexion is very fair, so this shade of powder doesn't suits her at all. So she handed it to me. This Russet shade fits my skin tone well. It is more like a medium beige with pink undertone. Though i have yellow undertone, i simply fix it with contouring.

This powder is very packed. I mean veryyy packed. No matter how many times you use it, it'll stay the same. The texture of the powder is very fine. And i really like this kind of texture.
To apply it you need a damp sponge and apply it to your skin like how you'd apply a liquid foundation. It gives you a full coverage. It mattifies your skin and the oil control is very good.
It is almost perfect for me except for the fragrant. It smells very much like an old lady's perfume and it's not girlish/refreshing at all. What a bummer.
As this powder is quite on the drying side, it's better to apply a generous amount of moisturizer before applying it on. Brush application with this powder won't work at all cos it is super compact. My brush can't lift the powder enough. So using a damp sponge is really the only way for us to use it.
Pros:
💜 Finely milled powder
💜 Mattifying
💜 Full coverage
💜 Great oil control
Cons:
💔 Horrible smell
