The Essence Stay All Day Translucent Fixing Powder is a fine powder that minimises oiliness, whilst making sure your make stays in place.

It's a great, long lasting formula, keeping skin matte for at least 8 hours. The powder is also super-fine, meaning that a little goes a long way.

However, it is cumbersome to apply as the product tends to spill when opening. It is not suitable for travelling- best applied over a sink to minimise mess. It is not completely transparent and thus may not be the best for darker skin tones. If you are heavy handed, it can collect on creases and laugh lines. Lastly, there is slight flashback when taking photos.

All in all, a good product for those with very oily skin. Great value for money and it stays all day. But for those looking to purely set make up, It would be worthwhile considering another product.
