Well I'm pleased to say I was ahead of the trend with this one! Spotted it before Shaaanxo started raving about it! However, I didn't get the big deal. I did not enjoy this product! Though the powder was fine, it is loose so can be difficult to work with. It also contains fine pieces of glitter. There were mixed reviews on whether this was noticeable or not, however I found that it was. This glitter made me look like I had eyeshadow fallout unfortunately. The brush that it came with was also not suitable for applying the product. I promptly got rid of this after an unsuccessful week of usage,

I used this product after seeing it being highly talked about by a youtube guru, i was a bit unsure about the small specs of glitter but find they arent really noticable on the face. You need the tiniest amount of product under the eyes and have found this under eye powder has prevented my concealer from creasing under my eyes. For the price I would highly recommend this to help with concealer creasing.
Tips: You only need a small brush to apply and be sure to be careful when opening as it can get messy if your not careful
I really wanted to like this product after hearing so many good things about it! Unfortunately I was not a fan. I applied it originally over my concealed under eyes with a real techniques setting brush and I definitely felt like it didn't do anything other than add an un-needed layer of powder. The glitter didn't show up too much which was nice but I didn't find it gave me any sort of coverage, glow, highlight, anti-crease miracle. It was just a layer of slightly-whiter-than-translucent powder. I still found myself going in with a proper full coverage powder because it didn't do what I needed it to do. This may work for people who wear not a lot of makeup and want to prevent oil or running eyeliner but it definitely was for my full face of makeup.
I love this product because it stops my concealer from creasing and sitting in my fine lines not to mention it is such a good price!! I buy mine off iherb for about $3 it's crazy!! However the packaging is a lil awkward an the product can b a little glittery if you don't use the right brush as the 1 it comes with is totally useless but those a very small issues which are easily fixed.
Tips: Use a decent size fluffy brush to buff in and flick away any sparkly bits :)
I often find it hard to find good concealers and when i do they usually crease under my eye area. This was the first setting powder I tried and I feel like it really makes a difference in setting that concealer and minimising fine lines. When I first tried it I didn't like it because I felt like it didn't do much but when I tried applying it differently it made a big difference. In saying that, this is a good product but sometimes I still find my concealer settling into the creases under my eyes (but this could be more of a concealer problem rather than a powder string problem). I find myself using this setting powder whenever I use concealer , and I am still happy with that. As for the creasing issue, I'll probably need to drink more water and sleep more to get of those creases.
Tips: Apply using a fluffy brush and buff it in - it won't be as glittery.
I picked this up after seeing all the youtube gurus talking about it and for $3 on i herb I thought i'd be silly to not give it a go.
I immediately ditched the brush as it was incredibly small and I don't see how anyone could find it useful. I decided to instead apply it with my real techniques contour brush - i would recommend any soft fluffy brush but not too big! The packaging is a bit fiddly so be careful as you open it as there is a lot of fallout. I dip the brush in then tap off the excess and then apply softly under my eyes after applying concealer.
A lot of people say this powder is extra glittery and I agree, in the pot it does look glittery. However, I find that the chunky glitter is easily tapped off and almost none of this applies to the skin. It definitely helps to brighten my skin and reflects the light nicely. It doesn't feel powdery of cakey on the skin but gives a soft smooth finish.
The only reason I have given this product a 4 is because it is so messy! I would absolutely love this in a pressed powder form it would be perfection. Also, I think the packaging is fairly small, although it is only $3 it would just be nice to not have to repurchase so quickly.
Tips: Make sure to use the excess around the rim when you open the pottle.
This powder is the only powder I use to set my under eye makeup!!
Although it is VERY messy, it is an amazing product for its crazy affordable price. I love the way this powder blends into my skin, and I use a small eyeshadow brush to get the product out of the container. I dab it under my eyes and then use my real techniques blush brush (the softest fluffiest brush ever!) to blend. I have found that if I apply too much concealer and it looks cakey, the setting powder smooths this over and makes it look all smooth and perfect :) Such a bargain, everyone should give this a go. I have had mine for almost 7 months now, have spilt a bit and still have lots of product left! Perfect small container to take away with you as well :)
Tips: Use a small eyeshadow brush to get product out and tap lightly on the side of the container to get rid of excess powder. Use a small amount so that you under eye area doesn't look shimmery!
This e.l.f product was something I got in a large e.l.f. haul quite a while ago but I hadn't really discovered it till I watched some beauty guru's on YouTube talking about it recently. I suppose I didn't wear concealer under my eyes previously so I didn't have a lot of use for it. Until now.
It's hard to find a HG (Holy Grail) concealer that doesn't crease under the eyes as well as being the right shade, consistency, brightening etc etc. However, with this miracle wee tub of powder - that is no longer an issue! This product literally makes almost any concealer stop creasing under the eyes! It's amazing for setting concealer!
First of all, the packaging is classic e.l.f - black, simple and small. However surprisingly it does last quite a long time although it's small! I do have a problem with the lid though as it lets a lot of powder go when unscrewed. I don't know how but what I do know is that when I'm wearing black it's not a good time! Other than that the packaging is pretty standard - nothing special.
The product itself definitely does meet standards regarding the things it claims to do. It certainly does reduce fine lines and wrinkles especially worn over top of a concealer (I like to use MAC Pro Long Wear). I like it think it also makes my concealer last longer - but that is hard to tell. It also brightens up the area a bit. The formula is very fine and is apparently translucent although I still think it gives a bit of the glow. My ONLY potential gripe with the product is that it is rather shimmery - which would be great if I didn't already have about 5 high end highlighters that I want to wear AS WELL. Which means that my under eye/above cheek area can become a little disco ball-y. However - for about $5 on iHerb or $10 from Kmart you can't really expect the world can you!
Overall for the price, and the fact that it could also help you to spend less on concealer as well - I think this product is a pretty great buy! I'd recommend it to anyone who uses concealer under the eyes, or needs their eyes a little brightened!
Tips: I apply mine with a small tapered brush - e.l.f actually also sells quite a nice one. Doesn't need to be anything special. I just pat it on over my concealer to set it in place I try not to use too much so I can wear other highlighter also.
The e.l.f under eye setting powder is a lovely little addition to my makeup routine. This was an impulse purchase from Kmart, where I paid $6, although I am aware that it can be picked up for half the price on iHerb. Whether the price is $3 or $6, this is a great product.
The packaging is sleek and certainly not reflective of such an affordable product. It is however, a little fiddly. The lid doesn't screw on and off easily and the product has to be shaken before being dispensed. I also threw the brush in the bin, and I have others that I would prefer to use.
I apply the e.l.f undereye setting powder with the Real Techniques setting brush, after applying foundation and concealer. It is quick and easy to apply and there really is no excuse to skip this in my routine. I would describe this product as a light powder that diffuses the light in a flattering way. It lightens (but does not conceal) the undereye area to provide a flattering, brightened but still natural look. I am left looking less tired and more polished. By using this product I don't have to apply a heavier face powder under my eyes that leaves me looking flat. It does the same job as a face powder, keeping the products underneath in place and stop small lines or creases forming throughout the day. If it wasn't so messy, it would be a nice product to reapply throughout the day for a pick-me-up.
With such an affordable price tag I really do recommend giving this product a go. It would also be nice on no make up days.
Tips: Be careful not to over apply this product or you will be left with a purple tinge.
I love this powder, it is so cheap and works really well at keeping my undereye concealer in place. The powder is a bit glittery but this doesn't show under my eyes if I use the right brush. For the price you pay, I would recomend this to anyone. I also like that this product doesn't crease on me even though I have fine lines under my eyes
