Pressed powder compact

Portable set — the classic afternoon cake mechanism.

Layer weight · A film is one continuous layer sitting on the skin. Layer weight is the 0–3 opacity this object adds.

The catalog behind every score on this desk is editorial estimate on a published scale, not laboratory measurement. The scale says what each number is supposed to mean and names an object holding each level, so a figure can be argued with — but no figure here was measured, and none carries a citation. The scale is published in full.

  • +7 · Sebum behavior — How this texture is modeled against combination skin — the desk's assumption, not your answer.
  • -4 · Coverage match — Delivers 20 against an assumed appetite of 30.
  • -4 · Film cost — Every unit of modeled opacity load costs points.
