Essence Stay All Day Translucent Fixing Powder

I just recently bought this product, I have been using it a lot and I really like it, so I decided to do a review, since Essence is discontinuing it. This review will probably be a little shorter, because I have three exams in the next three days, but I still wanted to write it now, if maybe someone wants to try it before it's gone. Luckily, I already had the pictures, so I only needed to write it.

Essence Stay All Day Translucent Powder comes in an all-white packaging with the Essence logo and the product name on the lid. The packaging contains 11g of products. The packaging looks better than it feels like. It's plastic and I don't even want to know what would happen if I dropped it on the floor. For now, it closes well. I wouldn't use it for travelling, since the product can easily go out through the small holes and it would probably be a mess once you open it.

The product itself is a very fine white powder. First I used it for baking and my under eye area felt so smooth after and it lasted for the entire day without creasing. Then I used it to set my foundation and I was so impressed. I didn't expect it to work so well. I have read that for some people this powder was just to white on their face, but for me this wasn't the case. I applied it very lightly all over my face and it I'm very serious when I say it lasted for the whole day. For me it works best if I apply it with a big and fluffy kabuki brush from last year's Essence LE. 
I have dry skin now in winter, but my face, mostly the forehead, gets shiny very quickly, but this product mattifies my skin perfectly. I also tried to use it, when I didn't wear any makeup, just so my forehead wouldn't be so shiny and it worked great too.

I'm glad I bought this product before it won't be available anymore. I love it, just for the quick fix, when I don't wear foundation, or to set my foundation, or even for baking. I was so impressed that it mattifies my face for the entire day and it didn't make it look white at all. I hope it will work so well in the summer too.

Thank you for reading!
