This translucent powder was the first kind I ever bought as I found my foundation faded after not wearing it too long. Knowing Essence and having bought a few products from their range I thought I would give it a try as they are affordable and their quality is usually good for the money you spending.
About the product itself, I honestly love the packaging as I find I can actually BAKE and using my beauty blender it fits perfectly. The texture is definitely NOT as finely milled as I would have liked it to be; it was slightly rough. When looking for Translucent powders I look for a suede texture.
About the wear: The purpose of it is to set well which done its job, however, being warm olive toned it did not blend well into my foundation it left a white residue which is bad for dark skinned girls. Even when spraying a facial mist the excess rolled off. The flashback was BAD and after wearing it for a few hours it mad my skin dry and cakey with creases in my foundation.
I would say this is a no no for dark skinned girls but it would be worth it for those of lighter skinned.
