Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder Review

I was looking for a new setting powder, and for the price of this one I am pretty happy with it. I use it daily to set my concealer and mattify my face, and it does it's job well.

My concealer lasts longer without creasing under my eyes, and I can even use it to bake when I need to.

As for the rest of my face, my t-zone is extremely oily so this doesn't last too long on me sadly.

However, it does do a good job for the price. If your skin is very oily, you might want to give this a miss but otherwise, good product!

Essense is one of my newly discovered cosmetic brands. It is super easy to pick up from your local Farmers and it definitely one of the cheapest brands around ranging from $3 - $10. It is lightweight giving you a slight shimmer as well as mattifying. So you don't feel like you are wearing it at all. It suprisingly lasts most of the day.

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.

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!

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.
