my T-zone gets extremely oily some days that's why I always have an extra "all about matte fixing compact poweder" in my handbag! When my T-zone gets oily I just touch up and I go on with my day! no cakey look, or putty look! Remember a little goes a long way!

I have super oily skin, not just around my T zone but my whole face. I am on my 4th repurchase of this product and it is phenomenal.
Setting my makeup with this powder allows it to say on longer than it would when using other powders.

To combat a bit of a white cast I just lightly go over my face with a powder of my skin tone and ta-da long lasting make up!

I use this in conjuction with the All Abut Matt setting spay.

I received this product in the Essence Advent Calendar and was thrilled to try it as I have heard good things about it :)

The smell is mild, almost odourless, which is lovely for people who have sensitive noses.

The powder is translucent which means it doesn't put any colour onto the skin, which is great for setting foundation on ANY skin colour.

The powder is soft and smooth when applying. It sets the makeup very nicley without 'caking'. I would definitely use this product again :)

I actually have bought 2 of these, one which stays at home and one in my travel bag because I travel alot and i looovvee using this product. Even if i have nothing, I will have this product always in my bag.

Amazing and give the perfect matt look which I want

I can literally not live without this product, if I had to throw out everything in my make up drawer and got to keep one thing, it would be this product! I use this everyday of my life, when I'm wearing make-up and when I'm not wearing make-up. I have oily skin so this product is a must to keep the shine at bay through the day, I take it with me everywhere. My current one has been used down to the pan, I'm thinking to buy two this time, one for my bag and one for my make-up drawer. LOVE this product.

Price is pretty cheap compared to other fixing powders, and this does quite a good job.
I like to use it when my skin feels especially oily and could use some mattifying. I also like to use it to give my lipstick or gloss a matte finish. Try not to use too much though, as it can make you look quite white. Just lightly dust it on.

This is a good one. I would not say that it completely mattifies, but it is so good for blotting. You can apply this up to 3 times during the day and it will not look cakey. It is extremely finely milled and velvety. For the price I will definitely say give it a try.

Nobody loves an oily looking face, which is why Essence created the perfect solution to solve the oily and shiny finish we have on your face. The new Essence all about matt fixing compact powder is an amazing compact powder which contains fine translucent powder which can be brushed or sponged onto our face, to create a smooth, matte complexion.

The colourless powder is perfect for anyone because you don't have to find time to match your shade because its for all skin tones. I find this translucent powder perfect for giving skin a natural finish all day long. I've used this compact with my BB Creams, Foundations and even over regular moisturiser to avoid an oily look.

The fixing powder comes in a clear glass compact. The actual powder has an embossed design which I think is really cute. I've been using this compact for just over two months and I can say this product is absolutely amazing! It gives skin a lovely natural finish with a soft feel to skin.

I would really recommend you give this product a try because it's affordable and does an amazing job keeping skin matte all day long! Plus the compact is slim and can fit in handbags, make up bags and clutch bags for touch ups on the go. The only down fall is the compact doesn't come with a sponge applicator, however it's not hard to get one, so it's not such a big deal.
