TajPrice checks Essence prices across Iraqi stores every week, and the week of September 15–22, 2026 sends one clear message: buying Essence makeup without comparing at least three stores means leaving real money on the table. Ten Essence makeup products currently show a price gap of 33% or more between the cheapest and the most expensive store. Buy all ten at the lowest listed price and you pay about 49,560 IQD. Buy the exact same ten at the highest listed price and you pay about 71,700 IQD. That is more than 22,000 IQD difference for identical products, shades and sizes.
The list below covers every Essence makeup subcategory we track: concealer, mascara, eyeliner, bronzer, blush, brow gel and face powder. It is ranked by cross-store price spread, so the products at the top are the ones where comparing pays off the most this week.
1. The widest gap of the week: 
Essence Multaitask Concealer
Best price 7,000 IQD, available at 4 stores, price range 7,000–11,200 IQD, spread 60%. That is a 4,200 IQD difference for the same 10-shade concealer pen. It works as a concealer, a highlighter and a contour in one product, which makes the gap even more painful if you pay the top price. This is the single best product to compare before buying this week.
2. 
Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara - Black
Best price 4,500 IQD, 6 stores, range 4,500–6,750 IQD, spread 50%. A 2,250 IQD saving. The cobra brush gives strong volume, and with six stores stocking it you have plenty of options — so there is no reason to accept the higher price.
3. 
Essence Liquid Eyeliner
Best price 5,060 IQD, 3 stores, range 5,060–7,500 IQD, spread 48.2%. A 2,440 IQD saving. Only three stores carry it right now, so check availability early before the cheapest option sells out.
4. 
Essence Liquid Bronzer
Best price 5,250 IQD, 5 stores, range 5,250–7,750 IQD, spread 47.6%. A 2,500 IQD saving — the biggest cash difference in this list in dinars. The liquid texture blends easily, and with a spread this wide it deserves a price check before checkout.
5. 
Essence I Love Extreme Volume Waterproof Mascara - Black
Best price 3,750 IQD, 7 stores, range 3,750–5,500 IQD, spread 46.7%. A 1,750 IQD saving. This is the cheapest product in the roundup and the most widely available one, with seven stores stocking it. Waterproof and suitable for sport or swimming.
6. 
Essence Baby Got Blush Liquid Blush
Best price 5,630 IQD, 4 stores, range 5,630–8,000 IQD, spread 42.1%. A 2,370 IQD saving. A soft sponge applicator and a natural finish — but at 8,000 IQD you are paying more than 40% above the best price for the same tube.
7. 
Essence Dip Waterproof 24H Long Lasting Eyeliner - 01 Black
Best price 4,690 IQD, 7 stores, range 4,690–6,500 IQD, spread 38.6%. A 1,810 IQD saving. Up to 24 hours of wear with a waterproof formula. With seven stores stocking it, availability is not the problem — price is.
8. 
Essence Baby Got Bronze Stick
Best price 5,060 IQD, 4 stores, range 5,060–7,000 IQD, spread 38.3%. A 1,940 IQD saving. The creamy stick format builds a tanned look without turning patchy.
9. 
Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara - Clear
Best price 3,560 IQD, 5 stores, range 3,560–4,750 IQD, spread 33.4%. A 1,190 IQD saving. The lowest absolute price in the whole list. It sets lashes and brows, and it is a smart add-on to a bigger order if you need to make the delivery fee worth it.
10. 
Essence Mattifying Compact Face Powder
Best price 5,060 IQD, 4 stores, range 5,060–6,750 IQD, spread 33.4%. A 1,690 IQD saving. A matte finish with a fine texture. This is the smallest percentage gap on the list, but it is still worth a quick comparison.
How to use this list
Start with the top four: Essence Multaitask Concealer, Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara - Black, Essence Liquid Eyeliner and Essence Liquid Bronzer. All four show spreads above 45%, which means the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive store is nearly half of the cheap price.
Then check the delivery fee. In Iraq, delivery can range from free to a few thousand dinars, and a 1,700 IQD saving disappears fast if the cheaper store charges more to deliver. Compare the final total, not just the product price.
Buy in one basket when possible. If the store with the best price on the concealer also has a strong price on a mascara, combine the order to save on delivery.
Watch stock levels. Products sold in only three or four stores — the concealer, the eyeliner, the blush, the bronzer stick and the powder — can go out of stock quickly at the cheapest store, so move early if one of them is on your list.
Prices in this article were collected for the period September 15–22, 2026 and are in Iraqi dinars. They can change at any time, so confirm the price on the store page before you order.
Bottom line: this week Essence is a brand where one extra click saves thousands of dinars. The average spread across these ten products sits around 44%, and the total potential saving on the full set is over 22,000 IQD — enough for two or three extra Essence products. Compare first, then buy.
