e.l.f Studio High Definition Powder Review

This is a very similar product to the ELF under eye setting powder that i love and continue to repurchase except this is used for all over the face to set foundation and keep your make up in place all day long. It does exactly what it claims to do which is perfect and it is definitely cheap for the quality of the product. the only qualm i have with it is how impossible it is to stop spilling the product everywhere every time i open it up. It doesnt have a very good filter and i feel as though i am constantly wasting product due to fall out.

I have been looking for a powder to set my makeup as I found that powdered foundation gave a cakey look on top of my concealer. I was looking for a powder that would help to maintain my makeup throughout the day but still be affordable. I was happy to come across this product on iherb and decided to give it a go. I was quite worried about the colour of the powder if it would make my face look lighter as I already think I am pale now but it actually made minimal difference to my makeup which was a bonus! I have never used the sponge that comes with the powder as I find my flat top brush disperses the product better but I may end up using the sponge in the future for foundation. I did notice that my skin still gets oily during the day especially by the afternoon but the HD powder manages to keep my makeup looking in place even after a long day. I get a lot less minimal fade in my foundation by wearing this product and will continue to use this powder in the future.

I really like this HD powder, I use to set my foundation I only need a small amount to do my whole face sets it lovely.I am not a fan of the packaging I find it one of the most annoying things to store. It is quite messy I tip a small amount into the lid and use my brush to apply because trying to get it out with a brush any other way is just messy.I love that because its white/translucent it doesn't cake into little lines and creases like some other powders do. Super cheap so its pretty good.

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 use this powder as a finish over my foundation and it gives a great matte finish to your skin and helps set makeup to last much longer. You don't need to use too much as if you do it will give it a whitish visible tint. It's very soft, however the powder does tent to get everywhere if you're not being careful.

I love this HD powder, it sets my makeup for all day wear and gives my skin a lush glow... I was skeptical when I first bought this and can say I was surprisingly IMPRESSED with how well it works considering the small price tag. Another must have from the ELF collection.

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

People purchase drugstore makeup brands and they automatically expect them not to work. Half the time people just assume this is the case but it is far from the truth! I am an avid investor in ELF and this powder has to be one of my reasons why.

Using with a large powder brush and using a small amount through the sifter, I am able to get enough to set my whole face without massive wastage like some powders can cause. Although it can be quite messy I am not to concerned about this as I feel it is all in the way you open it and depends weither you keep the sifter on it or not. It does seem to make you very matte but i find that is easily fixed with a dewy setting spray as it still pulls it off very well or left as is if that is preferred. i would definitely give this a 10/10 if it was possible. I absolutely love this product and will not be changing any time soon.

This product is so versatile, it is great for using under foundation (to stop oil shine and make makeup last longer) and also on top. It creates an almost airbrushed effect on the skin and does not have too much of a whitecast when used in flash photography. The packaging is a little too bulky, and I feel I waste a lot when I open and close the lid as the powder often goes everywhere. But for the price I cannot complain, it is really a great product and will definitely purchase again when I run out.

This is my holy grail setting powder !! I have very oily skin and my foundation normally wears off quickly but with this little beauty it stays put all day !!! I love that its so fine and doesn't make me look cakey. A little goes a long way tho so use with care !!

One downfall though is the bulky packaging and the way that it just comes out when you travel so when you open it there is a mini powder explosion !
