One of the most popular affordable compacts in India, this is a multi mineral skin lightening Lakme compact powder. It provides sheer-light coverage and is suitable for oily-very oily skin.

9) Chambor Silver Shadow Compact: Price- Rs 945 for 16gms + 16gms (refill)
This Chambor compact for oily skin might not have ranked very high because of the price but it is actually a great value for money. The compact comes with another refill pan making it easy on the pocket. It does a great job at hiding minor imperfections while keeping the face shine free for long hours.

I have just the Maybelline, lakme and mac studio fix. Should try the others. Must check list for summers.
My favorites from the list are the Maybelline White Superfresh and MAC Studio Fix Powder compacts! They work great on oily skin! xo
I love Maybelline White Superfresh Compact, Its my everyday goto compact,..
I wish we had that l'oreal matte powder in the US, and I never even heard of Maybelline White! I'll try to hunt these down online. For now I use one called Mattify Ultra Powder which is also white. Its the only thing i have ever used that actually controls the oil but doesn't look all heavy and fake. That brand doesnt make a pressed powder though so I have high hopes that the Maybellinr one might be similar.
