Essence Site →Amazon →Ulta →SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Essence Silky Blur Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a finely milled, blurring powder that gives a smooth, silky finish without being overly matte or drying. Andréa Matillano praises it as "one of the best powders I've tried in a really long time" and notes it feels like a luxury powder at a drugstore price, but warns that extremely oily skin may get oily faster. Emily Noel finds it truly mattifying but cautions it can look makeup-y on the nose and add to dryness, suggesting a light hand.
