e.l.f Undereye Setting Powder Review

This product is great at defining and highlighting my under eye area, and was great to stop creasing but it was to shimmery, I think glitter ages you so this product was a slight let down because of the shimmer effect. BUT as a highlighter and setter it was great and $3 you cant go wrong. Packaging is cute and stylish but a bit hard to get the product out.

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.

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.

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.

After seeing this much hyped product, I decided to give it a go. I found that it really helped to keep my undereye concealer in place. Although there were glitters in there, I found that swirling the brush in the product really helped to eliminate that problem. So good for the price, my only complaint is the packaging. The lid can be hard to get off and the product can go everywhere if you're not careful when taking it off.

I started using this after watching a Shannxo tutorial, and I love the product, it completely sets concealer and brightens the under eye just enough. However the brush the product comes with isn't the best - I tried it once and then threw it out, and I find the lid on the product really annoying.

I purchased this off iherb recently and was a bit suprised by how small this was, especially the crappylittle brush! That aside the product is really nice to work with. It sets undereyeconcealer beautifully and the tiny little reflects in it brighten the undereye area. FOr me it doesn't make a difference to creasing but I think that's an issue I willalways have and I don't think products will fix it.

I was so excited to try this after hearing Shaaanxo loves it. I must say it is so good at setting my under eye concealer. It slightly brightens up the area therefore counteracts my under eye darkness slightly, but not significantly. I find I still get a few under eye creases but much less when I use this product. A little definitely goes a long way, overall I really like this product!

I bought this off iHerb as elf products are so much cheaper over there. I didn't expect it to be so tiny but I like how it came with a small brush. I hated the small pot though and it was hard to use. The pot actually broke so I had to transfer the powder into another container which was a pain.

The product itself is great. The shimmer isn't too much but it definitely brightens the under eye area and sets my concealer well.

This is such an excellent product, for its price. This is very good at preventing under eye creasing, I find this very long lasting and effective. It is brightening, although it does have glitter in it but I don't really find this an issue as I don't notice it at all when applied. I use quite a dense eyeshadow brush (the large blending brush from the eco tools essential eyes set) and find that this is brightening without being glittery when I apply. This has excellent longevity. However it is very white under the eyes and can look unnatural, especially in flash photography.
