The shades in picture are: 1. Lakme 9 to 5 primer + matte foundation W240 (after 20min) 2. W240 (right after applying) 3. Maybelline fit me foundation 310 (after 20min) 4. 310 (right after applying) My skintone is similar to youtuber Arzan Blogs (NC40). This Lakme foundation matched my skintone very well. If the shade matches you well it won't really be very detectable in photos. I have oily skin type and with this foundation I got natural dewy finish, it didn't make my skin matte at all (which is good for daily usage). I didn't like it's heavy fragrance at all, also the spatula packaging isn't very convenient cause the foundation has very runny consistency. Overall it's good for day to day usage but I really wouldn't recommend for special occasions cause, this foundation isn't transfer proof even with setting spary and compact also it doesn't give full coverage. If you have hyperpigmentation or dark circles you'll have to color correct before using the foundation.

The Lakmé Sun Expert Ultra Matte SPF 40 Compact is a practical choice for those seeking convenient sun protection with a matte finish. Its lightweight texture and travel-friendly packaging add to its appeal. However, individuals with dry skin or those requiring higher coverage may need to consider additional products. Pros • SPF 40 Protection: Offers broad-spectrum sun protection, making it convenient for daily use.  • Matte Finish: Provides a matte finish, ideal for controlling oil and shine throughout the day.  ❌ Cons • Limited Shade Range: The available shade may not suit all skin tones, particularly deeper complexions.  • Sheer Coverage: Provides light coverage, which may not be sufficient to conceal blemishes or dark spots.  • Dry Skin Consideration: May accentuate dry patches on the skin; moisturizing beforehand is recommended. 

"I'm loving the Lakmé 9to5 Fashionista Collection Powerplay Priming Foundation! This foundation feels like a primer and foundation in one - it creates a smooth, even base for my makeup while providing buildable coverage. The formula is lightweight and comfortable, making it perfect for everyday wear. I love that it blurs pores and fine lines, giving my skin a flawless finish. The shade range is impressive, and I found a great match for my skin tone. The lasting power is impressive, too - it stays put for hours without getting oily or cakey. Overall, I'd highly recommend this foundation to anyone looking for a versatile, easy-to-use product that delivers great results!" Rating: 4.5/5 stars
