| Essence Stay All Day 16h and All About Matt! |
Essence Stay All Day 16h has a slimmer packaging compare to other drugstore brands like Revlon and Covergirl.
The product is enclosed in a plastic bottle which makes it lightweight and easy to carry during travel. What I also like is it has a pump which is a plus for hygienic purposes.

On the other hand, Essence All About Matt! is in clear compact packaging with 0.28oz / 8.0g of product. Basically, it is a finishing compact powder for a matte and natural finish all day long. Moreover, it also helps to blend blush and foundation colors together. And since it is a translucent powder, it is perfect for all skin tones.

It has a light to medium coverage, blendable and feels light on my skin. It was able to cover my open pores but not my dark spots especially on the side of my nose and wasn’t able to even out my skin tone.
On a daily basis, I normally apply just 1 layer of foundation as I still want to look natural under my make up. But for this review, I applied another layer to see if it will able to cover all my blemishes without using a concealer.

And it did.
However, my face feels heavy this time. Apart from that, hubby noticed that my face looks darker and I looked different. I told him that I just used the same foundation and added another layer, methinks its because it has a yellow undertone to it that makes my skin looks darker.

On my face: Essence Stay All Day 16h and All About Matt! Brows: Etude House Designing Eyebrow Pencil in Brown, BYS Brow Definition Kit Eyes: Maybelline Hypersharp Eyeliner, Etude House Styling Eyeliner Cheeks: Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso, Lips: Colourpop Ultra Matte in Teeny Tiny
Longevity-wise, I was impressed that it stays and looks great on me until the end of the day. And given my combination skin, it ended up dewy which I’m loving. Just make sure you always bring oil-control film whenever your face feels/looks oily.
Pros:
Affordable
Available locally
Travel friendly
Easy to blend
Long lasting
Neutral
Light to medium coverage
Cons:
Feels heavy on the skin if applied 2 layers
Glad I bought these babies because I super love this. I’ve been using these on my errands because it gives me the natural look I wanted. Given its affordable price, this is perfect for beginners or make up lovers with a limited budget.
What is your cheapest liquid foundation you ever purchased?
Let me know in the comment section below.
I would love to try them out!
Good coverage! It looks so natural. I actually prefer compact setting powder to loose ones. I tried to go "feeling pro" and hoarded a lot of loose powders, but then I can't retouch with them. They are so bulky and often spill!
Wow this foundation looks really gorgeous *-* and the colorpop lipstick <3 lovely
oooh! Interesting. I've always wanted to get that foundation the first time I saw it but hesitated the last minute because I realize that I do have other foundations at home. Haha! But since you like this, I might not hesitate the next time. 😛
I am using loose powder at home to avoid spillage and bring the compact one everywhere I go. Thanks for the visit. 🙂
Thank you Ludovica! 🙂
Aww thank you! I was hesitant when I bought it but I instantly fell inlove the first time I used it. Ganda nya! 🙂
Looks natural. I think this one will work for me. 🙂
I need this in my life. I love liquid foundations. Great great coverage. I got scars from pimples that appeared postpartum and I'm having some trouble hiding them sometimes. I think this will work nicely on me.
I'm using revlon for liquid foundation and im ok with it..but that one was cheap ha..349 for a foundation.. i love your lippie super havey! I'll get that one! 😀
I'm not a foundation user not a powder one. I'm good with just using a daily cream or a sunblock. I actually tried using foundation but because my face sweats easily, it got messy.
Nice transformation! I particularly love your lippy shade haha
Can't see any blemishes to hide. I love the make up especially the lip color. 🙂
It blends in really well. It looks very natural.
I infrequently purchase make-up and only what works really well for my skin tone and type.
What a great coverage You do look awesome with it.
Lovely. I use cover girl trueblend. It seems to have the closest to my pale skin and it is fairly light on my skin which is nice since I don't really like to wear a lot of makeup most of the time.
I love how it illuminates your features and that lippie is to die for!
Looks great! I've been needing to replace mine. Definitely checking the store for this
Wow so affordable! I regret not being able to read this review before I went out this afternoon. Are there different shades available?
I love how it makes your skin look smoother. It also gives you a lovely glow. Good to know that it has a matte finish too. Very nice and reliable especially if you're going to be out all day.
You look adorable. I have not tried this line before but now I am intrigued.
wow, it looks good on you. i have been seeing all these lovely posts about make-up i wonder if it is not too late for me to consider learning to use them! 😀
I love this product 🙂 I've been looking for a foundation that fit on my skin tone and this one is really great. I'm going to check it out.
Wow I love this product it really looks natural. I cant wait to tell my filipina girlfriend about this. I'm sure she will try this
I am finding a foundation that hide my black heads and acne. I'm so glad you shared this product gonna check this out
i think finding the perfect foundation is always testing. I don't believe we have this make in the UK, I have certainly never heard of it.
Wow, that looks really good on you. I need to check this out, I've been looking for a foundation to provide all day coverage.
Love how your foundation looks natural you could hardly tell you had make up on!
I always like the matte better than anything else. It feels more natural.
This sounds like an awesome foundation. I want to get this for my daughter.
Have you tried out Benefit's Big Easy? 🙂
