e.l.f Studio High Definition Powder Review

I like to apply this powder before I put my foundation on. I find it makes my skin look healthy and glow and my foundation does last slightly longer too! After using this product my skin feels so soft. Only downfall of the product is the packaging. It is bulky and getting the product out can be a messy process.

I love opting for cheaper products as im a poor aaa student so being able to buy products like this off iherb is amazing!! It makes for an amazing setting powder and evens everything out. When having photos taken with flash it does give a WHITE face so be careful

I got this powder to try out the powder before foundation trick I have been hearing about. For this purpose I feel it worked very very well. It created a flawless base for my foundation and the glitter partials made my skin very glowy. I have used this as a setting powder over my foundation also and it seemed to so a good job but I would not however recommend this as a setting powder if you are going to be photographed as it gives a very very bad flashback and makes your face white and blotchy. The packaging is a bit bulky so keep that in mind for storage and I would recommend using a fluffy powder brush to get the best coverage rather than the puff that it comes with.

Don't get me wrong it's not a bad product particularly for the price, I just find it can make you look too pale and is very drying.

It definitely sets your makeup but can settle in creases. The packaging is a pain as the product goes everywhere on you open and close it.

I will continue to use it but I won't be repurchasing.

I'm a matte finish sort of girl, so was super excited to try this finishing powder. And while I desperately want to love it (and there is a few features I like) there are 2 main things that are holding me back.

1) If used with anything less than a full foundation make up, it dries my skin like nobodies business. 2) When photographed it shows up white as Casper the ghost. Which is even less ideal as point 1 proved that I needed a full face of make up, which is normally when I'm going out to photographable events!

I think if you wear heavier make up on a daily basis, or have particularly oily skin, this product would work a lot better for you. Because it does still give you a smooth complexion, and does give a matte finish. But for me I think I'll continue my quest for scaly free matte finishes.

I bought this product after I had read so many great reviews about it, but I don't feel that it's as great as other people have found it. It does help if your foundation is a little bit too dark, as it is very white. It is very affordable, so it's not all bad. I find that it does the job for me, but is a bit difficult to get out.

I'll start with the bad - throw away the sifter thingy in the top and the puff it comes with, they're rubbish. Also rubbish is the actual container it comes in, it's big, hard to open and close and just cheap looking.

Once inside however I find the product to be pretty good at setting my makeup and I have an oily T zone. Probably wouldn't recommend it for really oily skin over summer as it may not be heavy duty enough to last the day.

I like to apply this with the RT duo fibre brushes as they give a really light application, which is good as this powder will make you look paler esp if you don't blend it in well enough.

The best thing about this powder is the "blurring" effect. My skin looks quite a bit softer and younger after use, it actually helps tone down the fine imperfections.

So, thumbs up e.l.f, it's a good product that I can see my self repurchasing.

This is a great HD powder. I have purchased this twice and it always lasts a long time, you don't need much product. I have changed up my makeup routine and now I only use this under my eyes sometimes as it's very finely milled and helps with under eye creasing from concealer. I did love to use it as an all over setting powder before though. Made my skin look flawless and poreless and set my makeup beautifully. Don't know if I would repurchase again as I don't have as strong a need for it, but it is a good product!

Absolutely love this powder, it's light, fine and really blurs and blends my makeup to a flawless base. The container isn't the fanciest, it's quite cheap looking and feeling. It has a powder puff inside which I use more as a plug as the sifter has such big holes. I do like the big holes though as I don't have to fluff about getting product out. I use a finishing spray on top to set the powder and brush and flatten any peach fuzz as powder can sometimes accentuate this. All in all I feel that it's very compatible with my smashbox and makeup forever loose he powders

I was reluctant to try this product as I had read a lot of mixed reviews about it, but decided to try it anyway. When I first applied it I noticed it made my skin look significantly paler, which isnt what I want as I am already practically a ghost. It sets face makeup nicely, but I found it to be quite drying, and it made my skin feel weird. I hate the packaging because as you open it the powder goes everywhere which is a pain; however the powder puff is nice and you get heaps of product. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product as I believed there are much better powders out there.
