Essence Soft Touch Mousse Makeup


Price: Dhs. 19

Where: Exquisite shop in front of Manama Supermarket, Times Square Centre  

Claims: Natural matte finish, dermatologically tested

Colour: 02 Matt Beige, cool toned and a little bit too dark for me 

Spectrum: Has 6 available shades, mostly pink/cool toned 

Consistency: Mousse-like, whipped and very light

Application: Flat brush or fingers

Blendability: Amazing to blend, dries and sets fast

Texture on skin: Smooth and doesn't crease, very light, glides on super smoothly

Finish: Sets matte, almost dries to a powder finish

Coverage: Light to medium

Longevity: Around 4 hours if not set with a powder, but I personally wouldn't because it is extremely matte to start with. If you want to prolong its coverage, I'd recommend a good primer.

Rating: 4/5

Cons: It does oxidise ever so slightly 

Conclusion: I really didn't find a colour that suited me exactly but the fact that it is so light and easy to blend makes it disappear seamlessly into the skin. I would love it more if they came out with a wider colour spectrum and a fuller coverage.
