It's a pretty good mattifying and translucent fixing powder for the price. It doesn't leave too much white tone on your face and does absorb oil well. Doesn't last too long however but that's what you get for a $3 Mattifying powder. Great in a pinch.

Cheap but good!
I really love the price of this and my makeup seems to last as well as most other powders! Lasts me a decent amount of time too. It is supposed to be translucent but on my mum who is a bit darker than me it was a little white but not a problem for me.

Not for dry skin
Again another powder that just doesn't work for me. This powder has alot of white Pigment in it and is quite noticeable so you really have to make sure that you really buff this powder in well. This powder did not do anything for my skin it's very mattifying which would be great for the oily skin people but for dry skin it just made my under eyes dry and emphasized every fine line and wrinkle. Essence is such an affordable brand and much more easily accessible which is awesome. I really dislike the packing the lid broke off and only had it a couple weeks but again this brand is so affordable so of you are on a budget and looking for a very mattiyfing powder and have skim that has a bit more plumness and oils then this is worthwhile trying out.
Tips: Definitely use a setting spray to reduce the white Pigment in this translucent powder.

Just a powder :)
I like this powder because it's really cheap, though the Catrice one is so much better because it lasts much longer (I have quite oily skin), especially on hot days. This Essence powder will melt right off after a while. Plus I think the talc in both of these products irritates my skin, so I'm moving toward more mineral-based powders wherever I can. However, I would buy this over Rimmel, Maybelline etc because it's the same, just WAY cheaper!
Tips: I use a round sponge to apply and press in - I find the brush picks up too much product and can move base makeup around when applying.

It works well at mattifying your face but you have to use it sparingly or it will make your face look too matte and powdery. The oil control properties also don't last throughout the day and you have to touch up constantly. The price is good at 5 bucks I think. However, you get what you pay for and the packaging is flimsy and plain.
Tips: 1. Only use on your T-zone or areas which look oily. Tendency to make your face look overly dull and lifeless.
