Essence's Mattifying Products Are Perfect For Summer

by Kali Borovic

If you thought that Fourth of July weekend was just about the deals, then think again. Essence's Fall 2017 Collection is here just in time to add to your holiday shopping like. Don't let that name fool you though. The new items are perfect for keeping your makeup fresh in the dog days of summer. Plus they have an amazing long-weekend deal as well. Grab your wallets, because this is one beauty event that you won't want to miss.

When Essence comes out with a new collection, they don't hold back. On top of great prices and innovative beauty creations, the brand is rolling out tons of mattifying products to keep you looking great through the hottest days of the year. Oh, and they're all super affordable too. If that's not everything that you need in a collection, then I don't know what is.

The most exciting launch, in my opinion, is the All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder in Waterproof. Yes, you read that right. The beloved Essence product now comes in a waterproof option as well. According to the press release, the product sets makeup and makes any look matte all while repelling water on contact and withstanding humidity. Plus it's only $4.49. Pinch yourself, because you're not dreaming.

If powder isn't your thing, no worries! The brand created an oil-free Instant Matt Makeup Setting Spray as well. The ultra-light, transparent mist sprays right on top of makeup to set makeup and control oil. Add to that the Mattifying Bronzer and Strobing Sticks and you have one incredible summer look.

The matte trend goes way beyond the face with the new collection too. On top of the brand new powder and spray, they have a mattifying lip product as well. Essence created a Make Me Matt Lip Top Coat that instantly transforms any shiny lipstick into velvety matte finish. As if that's not enough Fade Your Shade Lipstick that lightens and darkens any lipstick shade.
