I use the Essence Mattifying Compact Powder in Mahogany. It is a shade or two darker than my natural skin tone, but it makes for a great buildable powder contour. As it is buildable, it is not too harsh, making it a perfect addition to my every day beauty routine.

The powder has a nice formula that is easy to blend (if using as a contour powder, like me). It settles nicely into the skin and lasts all day with the help of a setting spray. On one day I forgot to apply my setting spray, I was pleasantly surprised to see it last from about 08h00 when I applied my makeup, to about 16h00 when I got home after a full day of activity.

I love this so much as an every day contour powder, that I might just pop out and get a lighter shade to use as a setting powder.
