I recently started baking my under eyes on occasion to ensure my concealer stays perfectly in place all day. It is also great for keeping fall out from eyeshadow application sinking into your concealer/foundation. I didn't want to buy something expensive as I am literally going to brush it all off after finishing my eye look. So I got the most affordable option available and I must say I have been loving it.

The product is super fine and lightweight and does not leave my under eyes looking cakey! It brightens up my under eye immensely and brushes away with ease. It is super affordable so I can keep baking and repurchasing forever. It does not leave a weird white powder on my skin as well. One thing though, the container is extremely messy and you need to tap a lot of the product into the lid to get proper application. Upon closing the product, it will be all oveer your hands.

Other than that I am happy with what I paid for and it works for baking.

I have been on the market looking for a translucent powder for setting my make-up I just prefer translucent to coloured skin tones powders which I feel can be heavy on my skin.

The Essence Stay All day translucent Fixing powder, the main reason for getting the powder was I needed a new powder to try and this caught my eye once I saw the new product release. The powder comes in a loose form which wont be hard on my brushes, and it comes in a compact jar great for throwing into handbag in a rush.

First application it instantly made my skin Matt which I like in any setting powder it applied really easily to skin and just enough of the powder is let from those tiny holes in the jar. I tend to lean towards translucent powders as no matching is needed and they feel to be much lighter on my skin. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a translucent powder

Retail for R72.95 at Dis-chem stores nationwide.

OMG yes! This powder is the bomb in terms of finish. It is so lightweight and gives such a healthy glow to the skin. It has very subtle reflects, so it works great for during the day or evening.

It does not add any extra coverage and will therefore not change the colour of your foundation. It is great for touching up, because it is so finely milled and does not cake up at all.

For a product that is this affordable, the performance is quite amazing. It is not great for controlling oil, but I am okay with that. The more I apply, the better my skin looks.

I can definitely recommend this product and I will definitely keep repurchasing.

11.10.2016 - UPDATE: This still remains my go-to affordable setting powder. I have noticed that when applied with a damp sponge to set foundation and then going over lightly with a colour powder - this product controls oil extremely well! When first applied, it can give a white cast, but just be patient and give it some time to settle and set - you will notice that it just blends in perfectly.
