Amazing

The product itself is amazing! Lightweight and works really well to set foundation and to stop my skin looking oily. I like that this product doesn't make me look cakey! I don't use the powder puff that it comes with as I prefer brushes so I can't say how that works. The lid is a bit unstable so you need to be careful, also when opening the product as a lot comes out of it and it can go everywhere if you aren't careful. Despite the lid issue this product is amazing and I definitely recommend!

Excellent value finishing powder

I'm not a huge fan of the packaging for this product. The puff provided is not really sufficient for a flawless application. There is also a tendency for powder to go everywhere if you are not careful with opening it.

Despite the flawed packaging, this powder is definitely great value for money. The translucent powder is ideal for setting the rest of your makeup. It looks pretty natural and lasts all day.

Tips: Use a large fluffy brush to apply this powder. Be very careful opening the packaging.

Cheapie

Great product for setting under the eyes. But you have to be very careful or the product will go everywhere. This can be very very messy but a lot of translucent powders are like that anyway.. For just 6 bucks it's a great buy. Great for people with oily skin, and for dry skin people I recommend using a little bit of this just for the eyes and to be careful with it. But overall a great product

Needs a stable lid!

I like this stuff. I first purchased roughly July last year, and it arrived from iHerb a few weeks later (I chose the cheapest shipping option). I was excited to break into it and have a play.

The packaging is very sturdy, a big bulky plastic case with a twist top lid. There is a little powder puff sitting in the container, as well as the powder under a holy grate. Be super careful when if you tip it out into the lid - mine came off and it went EVERYWHERE. In a different bathroom it probably would've looked like I was doing smack.

The powder itself is white and sits nicely on my face. It doesn't feel heavy and when I use it I go matte instantly, which I love. I don't like looking dewey.

It can be used underneath or on top of foundation, I've tried both methods and I really like it. It doesn't make me feel or look overly caked in makeup, but it even though it's translucent I still feel like Casper when I brush it on. I'd get it again, because I know it works and the price is just too good to pass up!

Very yellow

I bought this product as I wanted something cheaper then getting a more expensive 1 to try out first. I use this product under my eyes and find that it is not heavy at all its very soft and lightweight. I do like the look of the packaging but when I always open it spills out a lot of product even though I do use a small amount it has lasted me a very long time. I also find that this product has a very yellow tone to it which I'm not too fond of because when looking in the mirror all I see is my under eye area is very yellow toned. I don't know if I would buy this again but for the price its very good

Translucent gem...

So I am a girl who loves her e.l.f products, and this has to be one of my favourites. I love that the powder is so soft, and light weight. When I apply it, it does not feel like I have just caked on a whole lot of powder and it doesn't feel like it is clogging my pores. I also like that it doesn't leave me looking like a ghost after I apply it (which I have had happen to me with a translucent powder before... ahh nightmarish). I have been using this product for I don't even know how long now, and I don't think I will stop. It is affordable, and a great product that helps keep my make up looking fresh all day and night :)

Elf high definition powder

Love it ,I use this every day to set my face foundation,I have already used up one and am on my second container,I use a fluffy elf brush and dab the powder over my foundation to set it,it leaves my foundation looking matte and there's no shine,it stops my face becoming oily throughout the day,and I would have a breakdown if I could'nt use it.i have other powders I sometimes use if I want more coverage but with it being transparent on the skin it does not make your face look cakey,

Tips: Dab over your foundation with a fluffy elf brush,this way will not move the foundation you just applied,

Really good setting powder!

This is super cheap and finishes my foundation routine perfectly. It smooths out my face and helps reduce the size of my pores. I've been using my normal powder brush with this and it's really easy to pick up and apply. The finish is matte but still somewhat radiant looking. It also slightly lightens my complexion which I'm more than happy about. I'm already fair skinned but I like to have a paler face in winter and this makes my skin look really delicate. I don't really like how the holes are so big. It's basically like a salt shaker and when the powder inside is super fine, you don't want giant holes. I'm okay with a little spillage though since it was cheap and I can easily buy it again.

Tips: Probably for people with paler skin tones so make sure to test it out if you can before you buy.

Matte perfection

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE this powder. It is one of my favourite products from elf and I am a huge elf fan. I use this powder everyday on top of my foundation (usually my elf flawless finish foundation) and it sets it perfectly, makes it last all day without melting or rubbing off. I have oily skin too and this powder mattifies any shininess I have. It doesn't make your face look cakey or too powdery either, so would be suitable for all skin types.

I love how it is a translucent powder, so its great for everyday use and avoids making your face look too dark. I apply my blush and bronzed on top of the powder. The powder also has tiny pearly pigments which give your skin a nice glow, but at the same time doesn't look shimmery. It makes your skin look very soft and gives a silky smooth feel. The powder is really light on your skin and feels like you're not wearing anything.

This powder is a loose powder, so not a pressed one. And the only thing I don't like about this product is the sponge/puff it comes with. It really doesn't allow you to apply the product evenly to your face. So I usually apply this with my real techniques powder brush. You only need a light dusting for your whole face.

I will defiantly be repurchasing this powder and would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Tips: Use another brush to apply to your face (I use my real techniques powder brush) instead of the sponge it comes with.
