For my own enjoyment, I want to share the knowledge I have collected as a pre-med and as a medical student while also sharing my passion for all my favorite things, like makeup and lattes.

Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder

No comments :
TLDR: Love for under eye area, Flawless, Would Recommend

I am all about a deal, and I happen to not have any pressed white powders. This made it super easy to convince myself to buy this Essence's powder when Nicole from Young, Wild, and Polished mentioned it on her snapchat/in a video awhile back. I put it on my list of things to try and recently bought it at Ulta for $3.99.

The website states: "The perfect pressed powder for a shine-free look. This light-weight formula absorbs excess oil and shine for a natural and smooth complexion. Available in one transparent color for all skin types - so it's perfect when you're out and about with your girls!".

I was hesitant to use this anywhere on my face besides under my eyes as this is an area that I try to brighten, and I am not sure if it would cause white cast. For reference, my under eye area is not an extremely dry area for me. I use the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Fair or the Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer in Light Natural over the NYX Dark Circle Concealer in Fair every time I wear makeup. Usually, I will just set my concealer with my face powder, but, given that I want to hide dark circles, I definitely want to brighten my under eye area with a white powder.

This powder did exactly what I expected. I use my E.L.F Small Tapered Brush to apply the powder. My concealers tend to crease slightly as the day goes on, but I think this powder helped. The powder did brighten the area, and my face really did look flawless where I applied it. Be cautious of applying too much as I am not sure if it will cause flash back/ white cast in flash photography. Overall, I really like it and will be using it daily.
