e.l.f Undereye Setting Powder Review

I used to use this product religiously as I have quite dark genetic under-eye circles and if I didn't powder over my concealer, it would just disappear. I like how it highlights the under-eye area but I dislike how it settles into fine lines beneath the eyes and ends up accentuating them. I now use it as a highlighter on my cheeks instead (I use a setting spray to set my concealer under my eyes, and that works much better).

I purchased this a while back as it is such a raved about product and I figured all that hype couldn't be wrong...right? Wrong! Well for me anyhow. I purchased mine off iherb for practically nothing so I'm not too disappointed it didn't work for me.

The packaging of this product is a bit ridiculous. The brush that comes with it is sooo tiny...I'm not exactly sure how that small of brush is meant to evenly apply product and to me its pretty useless. The size of the pottle makes it very difficult to get an appropriate amount of product out and is quite difficult to use I find. The lid never seems to screw on right, which for a cheap product I would accept but when the packaging sucks and the product isn't fantastic either there is no redemption.

The powder is relatively finely milled like you would expect for a setting powder but I really dislike the look of the glitter specks that I guess are meant to help highlight the area. I just find they look like eye shadow fallout (which i try my hardest to avoid) and just bring attention to my puffy under-eyes. A lot of people seem to find this helps prevent there eye shadow from creasing but I haven't found that in my experience either.

Don't get me wrong it still sets my concealer but I just dislike the result and personally find my Natio pressed powder (which I often use to set my concealer) looks far more natural than this.

I was hoping this would be my Holy Grail setting powder like it seems to be for so many others. I will not be repurchasing this again as I have given it a good go and it has just not lived up to the hype.

This is an OK product, but like many of the e.l.f products it's over rated. I don't hate it but I doubt I would purchase this again even though it's so cheap on iHerb.

Biggest problem with this powder is it is very white and needs to brushed on and blended properly else it looks silly. The glitter isn't too noticeable and I actually like that as it makes my undereye area look much fresher and brighter than without using it. BUT the effect doesn't last all day, which is something I've found with most e.l.f stuff I have purchased.

Make sure your concealer is completely dry before putting this (or probably any setting powder) on as I didn't and had these funny streaky marks under my eyes. Looked crazy!

I think it's a good product for beginners, and if like me you wanted to try something new without dropping huge money on something.

I'm glad I tried it but will look for a different brand when I've finished this pot. Which, of course, will be forever away as you only need a very small amount of product and I can see this lasting a long time.

I so do not get the hype about this product. It is affordable but that is likely because it is TINY. I was really surprised to find glitter in it too and when I wear it I feel like it looks like fallout from my eyeshadow. Does it set my undereye concealer? Yes, but no better than just using my regular face powder. I think next time I'll just invest in some Bare Minerals or MAC.

I got this from iHerb because it had lots of good reviews and I thought I should get a separate under eye setting powder (not sure why I would ever think they needed to be different from the normal setting powder I have). when it came in the mail, I was shocked and how small it is, it's literally the tiniest thing ever!

It is NORMAL setting powder, that you can get anywhere, and honestly it makes absolutely no difference than using the bigger sized Elf translucent setting powder - you're probably saving yourself by buying the bigger one.

It is normally setting powder, that makes no drastic change, and there is nothing special about it. But I can't complain since it is $6 although for that size, I still feel ripped off!

After applying your concealer just dab some powder on top to set it in place, however since this is a tiny container, you will have to tap some onto your hand and then use it from there.

I read great reviews on this product and decided to purchase it myself, in all honesty i think its ok I have had this for around 5months and have not reached for it at all in the past 3 months. It seems to be the exact same as the big pot of E.L.F HD setting powder except with added glitter. I do not see why you would need glitter in an under eye powder, I am disappointed in this product and would not recommend to friends

I had high hopes for this product when I bought it, but sadly it doesn't work for me at all! I love elf products so I was a bit disapointed. It doesn't look bad, it just doesn't look like anything at all. Not brightening for me, a lot of glitter and the packaging makes it hard to use. I am getting a tapered powder brush in the mail shortly so I will be interested if this makes a difference!

I really loved the idea of this product and was really excited to give it a try. I have dark circles and wrinkles under my eyes and it did do pretty good at cover the darkness but It still creased where my wrinkles were and was a bit too sparkly for under my eyes.

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 bought this hoping it might set my undereyes better than a standard setting powder and honestly it gave the same results setting wise but made my undereyes look white like I had caked in some white eyeshadow under them. Did not like at all
