e.l.f Undereye Setting Powder Review

This powder does an excellent job of setting my undereye concealer and gives a great, smooth finish. However it does have some rather large glitters which I do not like as it does look slightly like eyeshadow fallout. Also the container is not the best as the powder does tend to go everywhere and make a mess and I feel like I am loosing product. I do like this setting powder but I do think there a probably better ones. However, for the price it is a very good option.

I picked this up one day in K-Mart when I was lucky enough to spot a few ELF goodies left on shelf and was waiting for my Iherb order to arrive.

I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a clutz, and I find the container and lid to be quite awkward to handle myself and apply the powder from. The brush it comes with I also find rather fiddly and prefer to apply it with a longer handled brush for easier application. Non-clutzy people may be fine though!

The powder itself reminds me a lot of ELFs HD setting powder which I bought after this, in that they're both very finely milled, talc-like powder. The undereye powder is more or a cream colour though with a faint shimmer through it, which is only slightly visible on the skin.

I didn't think this really worked well alone on my dark circles or lines, however I did really like it for setting my undereye concealer.

I probably wouldn't purchase this again, because for the price I feel you would be better off just purchasing the HD setting powder which is so similar and I found worked just as well at setting my undereye concealer, just without the sparkle. You get a lot more with the HD setting powder so it does end up being more economical and it has the added benefit of being able to use it across the face.

Because of all the hype and its affordable price, why not? I purchased this off iherb and when it arrived my first initial thoughts were, damn thats tiny! The brush is no use i reckon. I use this with my real techniques setting brush which i love! (I reviewed it as well)

I don't think it is as fine as people make it out to be, although its definitely not chunky. There are specks of glitter on the powder but as you apply it, it turns into a sheer adding a glow on your skin. As for setting my concealer, i think it does an okay job. I still prefer my ben nye banana powder, maybe because I'm tanned.

The longevity of the product is not as great. I still need to set my under eye with my normal face setting powder. I don't think this keeps me matte at all. I find that within 2 to three hours of wear the powder has disappeared, but when i use my ben nye powder, it lasts longer. It doesn't really help with creasing. Sometimes my under eye still creases with this on.

The packaging is so tiny and its got quite a stubborn cap, like when you twist it close, its sometimes on the wrong line of twist if you get me, but thats just being nitpicky because for the price its not too bad.

Overall, its good for the price. If you're on a budget then this is great but id totally recommend ben nye's powders.

This product is packaged in a nice and simple way and the product is indeed really silky feeling. However, I found when I applied it to my undereye area it was much too shimmery for my liking. In certain lights it even looked like I had put glitter under my eyes, when I prefer a matte look on my skin.

The product itself is really good at setting the concealer I put under my eyes, and it is a crazy good price so I would possibly purchase it again.

I was very excited to try this product out because of all the hype around it, and I was a little disappointed with it (I love the rest of the e.l.f range though!)

Not sure how I feel about this one. It is definitely brightening under the eyes, but my concealer still creases under my eyes which is annoying because I bought it to stop the creasing.

I liked this product for highlighting and defying my under eyes but I don't get what the big excitement is with this product It comes in such a small container and hard to get the product out

I purchased this after seeing Shaaanxo raving about it for ages! I use it after applying foundation and concealer but I don't really think It does much to prevent creasing! Perhaps theres something I don't know about this product?!

I've had this for quite a few years and I remember loving it when I first got it. It might even have been my first setting powder!

The powder is loose form, and tapping the pot lightly onto the lid dispenses the perfect amount. I usually don't need heaps of undereye concealer anyway, but I do have some wrinkles/fine lines starting to appear and throughout the day I do notice some creasing in my concealer. When this is first applied over my concealer, it does a superb job in setting it. And it even helps brighten the area a little. Staying power isn't the best though, after a few hours of blinking and facial expressions, my under eye wrinkles are back.

I think I used it as a full face setting powder for a while, and found that was actually a better use. Nowadays I mix this in with my guerlain meteorites and make my own setting powder. This adds a bit of glow and helps blur over my skin, which is perfect on top of BB cream or light foundation! I wouldn't use this purely for undereye though because it doesn't cut it for me.

This e.l.f undereye setting powder does a pretty good job at setting makeup under your eyes to slow down the settling of makeup into creases. I wouldn't say it completely camouflages lines, dark circles and imperfections but it's definitely better than nothing. The velvety finish is really nice as a finish overtop of foundations/concealer etc. Wouldn't really notice anything from the Vitamin C & K "infused formula". I guess it might do something if you were applying it to bare skin but I wouldn't really use it on bare skin.

Im not 100% sure if i love this product, i got mine of iherb and it was so raved about that its great and i found it to be just semi okay, the brush is USELESS cant even apply anything with it so i ended up throwing the brush away. The setting powder it self has a shimmer to it which im not a fan of in setting powders i like the matte look and then shimmer in my blushes. Tbh dont really see what all the fuss was about. I like it but just dont love it.
