4)Street wear All Day Wear Compact
This is one of the first compacts I tried and definitely a favourite.It gives high coverage for a compact and matte finish.Excellent oil control and works great for oily-acne prone skin.It does oxidise on skin after a while.Currently this might not be easily available.It is one of the most affordable compact.The new color rich compact isn't as good as this matte compact.
