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

I picked this up from my local Kmart, and it ended up being around $10 I think.
Thisis a white translucent powder and you can get the sheer, shimmer or yellow corrector shades. I have the shade sheet, which is just a normal, translucent powder.
This powder is really finely milled and is really soft. It is easy to apply with either a brush or a sponge, I use a brush as I find a sponge picks up too much and you want to be able to tap off any excess before you apply. A very light touch is all that is needed for setting concealer, foundation or baking. I like to use this powder over my oily spots and it does help control my oil and make me look matte throughout the day.
However I really hate the packaging on this powder, it makes such a mess. even if you tip out a bit onto the lid, powder gets everywhere, and even moreso when you apply it. If you don't tap of any excess before you apply it can cling to your face and make you look really powdery.
I love the finish this powder gives my skin and its great at stopping me from looking oily during the day but I hate how much of a mess this makes, despite the cheap price tag, I don't think I will repurchase in the future.
Apply lightly! The packaging is big, sturdy and comes with alot of product. Classic sleek matte black packaging with a twist lid. The inside has 2 layers, with a sifter between the 2. You dont need much product at all as it quite powdery and loose (type of product, i know) i noticed minimal results and had alot of fall out. In some pictures i had flash back. Not ideal. Very affordable and you get alot for what you pay for.
this hd powder is really nice it looks in your make up but it leaves a white cast on your skin also the whole hd flash thing looks really bad
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.
Tips: It is easier to apply with a brush, rather than the applicator that comes with it.
The e.l.f Studio High Definition Powder wasn't quite what I expected, but I ended up quite liking the results. I think, at least.
I initially purchased this powder during my search for a cruelty-free setting powder that was also light enough for my porcelain skin. This powder is not only cruelty free, but SUPER cheap, and translucent. So it ticked all the boxes, and I gave it a whirl.
Packaging is aesthetically pleasing, in a chic and elegant square screw-top tub, with a cute little powder puff inside. As everyone else has already noted here, the inside is a bit of a disaster in terms of messiness - the powder tends to explode everywhere when you open it. I actually have started applying this in my bathroom instead of at my makeup table, just because it's so messy! But it's no biggie - since it's translucent, you can easily brush it off clothes with no marks left behind.
This powder is definitely not what I expected in terms of effect. It is great at setting and mattifying makeup, but at the same time it provides a crazy level of luminosity to the skin. I have found it definitely makes my skin slightly paler, and leaves a fine shimmer to the skin as well. It lasts well all day, but doesn't add any extra coverage to your foundation/concealer. I would say it does create the "soft effect" as advertised, but I'm still making up my mind as to whether or not I actually like that look!
Tips: This product is great to use to bake your makeup with - definitely my preferred way to use this. Over your foundation, apply heaps of concealer beneath your eyes and over your chin area. Then, pack on the powder and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. The heat from your skin + this HD powder leaves an amazing finish to the skin after you brush it lightly off again. Would definitely recommend trying this out if you're into baking.
At first, I was a bit hesitant to use this as I've never previously used a translucent powder to set my foundation. I tried it the first and didn't really like it. However a couple of weeks later, I tried it again and loved it! It gives a beautiful, flawless finish to the skin. I use the puff that it comes with and dab it into my skin. However, I do not like the packaging. It is big and bulky and the powder goes everywhere so that's definitely something to consider!
I purchased this product off of iherb because I had read so many good reviews for it however unfortunately, I have not had all the amazing results that others have had (which is often the case with me!). There is nothing incredibly wrong with this product but I'm not 100% on it either.
This is a translucent powder which comes in a sturdy black container with a small circular puffer pad. The puffer pad isn't awful, it does pick up your foundation colour a lot but its alright to use if you have to. I found that this product did set my foundation okay but what I found frustrating at times was the white sheen that cast over my face after using. I typically do not use a lot of powder to set make up and I was careful not to apply it to heavily in any particular area however at times, this white sheen was still noticeable. I have used this product with a couple of different brushes and techniques, all of which have worked alright but all still have the potential to leave this hint of white powder across my face (definitely have to be very careful to blend in well)
I'm happy to continue using this product until it runs out, not sure if I will repurchase. For the most part, it did what it said it would. I would still recommend this to a friend if they were looking for a low cost powder
I enjoy the pricing of this product, it is very cheap off iherb. I had never tried a translucent powder before this one, and was excited to see how it works. I feel like it sets my foundation well, but it makes me look a bit white, and looks terrible in photos. I do not think it makes my skin look better as many have found, and after I use this up I will hunt for another product.
to be honest, I wasn't as blown away as I was expecting to be after reading the reviews for this product. The packaging is very bulky and it is quite difficult to get the product out without it spilling everywhere. I find it best to apply with a powder brush instead of the one it comes with as the White fluff rubs off on to my face.
It makes the skin look a lot paler so I sometimes find it best to apply this first then use a coloured powder to touch up the White areas. However it does give a airbrushed look and leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth.
