Everyone who knows me well knows that I can’t leave the house without my coveted charcoal blotting papers. What can I say, I’m an oily gal! That said, blotting sheets only do so much; there are only so many times you can duck behind your office desk or restaurant menu to touch up your face. One solution that isn’t so high-maintenance is a mattifying face powder, and thanks to TikTok (per usual), we found one that acts as a real-life filter for your skin.
Say hello to the Brighten Up! Banana Powder by Essence. If it looks familiar to you that’s because it’s going viral on TikTok and consequently selling out everywhere except for Ulta. The $5 skin-blurring powder yields jaw-dropping results. We’re serious, your jaw will be on the floor after watching @mualesandro’s TikTok try-on, which, by the way, has garnered over seven million views in just two days.

Lots of Ulta shoppers join TikTok in celebrating this skin-perfecting powder.
“Absolutely stunning as a setting powder. Blurs my pores and brightens my under-eye area,” wrote one reviewer.
“I love this brightening powder. I specifically use it under my eyes and it makes a huge difference,” wrote another shopper. “I’m 40 years old and it does not get into my lines. I will continue to buy this over and over! I love that it is so affordable too!”
