When I just started out using make up, I thought this product was God sent, but trying it again recently made me realize that there are way better powders out there. Yes, it's inexpensive but it's extremely powdery and can leave you looking as white as a ghost.

A affordable powder and sets like magic!!! Yaaas, it a great setting powder and makes the skin matt just as required.
Leaves the skin in a great cover and does not absorb all the moisture from your foundation.
it is such a steal.

This product is affordable and it sets nicely. I actually use it as a baking setting powder when om doing light make up.

I recently bought this powder and I am not disappointed. Sets my face really well and doesn't look cakey.

I wouldn't recommend using this for baking or under the eyes as it does have a slight white cast. I use this only for touching up my T-zone and setting the outside perimeter of my face.

Looks very smooth and makes the skin look very youthful.

I do however, use a slightly darker foundation when using this to set as ut does lighten the face slightly.

Very good for the price. I will repurchase forever!

Personally I believe essence products deserve more credit than what they get! I am extremely clumsy when it comes to a loose fixing powder, lets just say it lands up everywhere except may face... So this led me opting for a compact powder. I bought my essence all about matt! fixing compact powder at Dischem for only R59.95; and excellent price for an excellent product!! It is very easy to use, keeps you oil free for a good couple of hours. A good tip for girls with oily skin is to keep in your handbag with a small brush, that way you can touch up through out the day without looking shiny!

I have been using this powder for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! After I have applied my Neutrogena CC cream or my MAC foundation I will take a big fluffy brush and lightly dust some powder onto my T zone to get a lovely matt finish. Be careful not too apply too much powder because I do find it can leave you looking a bit more pale than usual! Other than that it leaves your skin feeling so soft and oil free!

Packaging is very neat and classy. The powder's packaging is clear acrylic, which flips open, it's not too small but not too big either, the right size to fit your brush into and just small enough to be able to easily take it with you traveling. The powder itself is white in colour but blends effortlessly into the skin.

As with all the other Essence products I bought this to try it out and see what it does exactly. I found it to be a lovely finely milled powder that applied with ease to leave you with a soft matte finish.

It lasted not all day but with a touch here and there I managed to keep myself looking great all day. I think Essence have totally answered the prayers of the girlies that struggle with a bit of an oily skin through the day.

Although I prefer the loose powder version I have to give it to the compact. And it might be even less messier than the loose powders.

I love the fact that as with this product Essence tend to always present their products in a clear glass packaging which is super fancy and also making it so much easier when it comes to buying.
