As a professional makeup artist by weekends and an office based person by week days, makeup and looking flawless for long hours is a norm for me. It's tough and rough on my skin and my routines take a lashing, But on the upside....
I must say through warmer days my face oils up especially on my T-zone or my makeup looks blotchy in those areas and needs setting by 2pm. I have been using the essence translucent powder for just over a month, and their formula for their translucent powder seems to do wonders with my make-up for daily use.
The make-up sets and looks flawless and does not blotch on hot days. I found that it sets my makeup leaving it with a matte finish and does not cake on my face or clog my pores. I do refresh my face with a hydrating spray to keep the makeup fresh and intact.
It is affordable and works well with my kryolan dermo-color foundation, for the price I would recommend it to anyone else who wants a daily translucent powder. Although I do tend to use my splurge products for my big events and occasions the setting and finishing is just different.
I do love essence products and am a fan of ther ranges and this is one of my top buys.
