My go to undereye setting powder

I use this product everyday as I always find that I have bad creasing on my under eye area.. As I have fair skin I don't find it brightens under my eyes but it almost blurs the skin there to make it look a lot more flawless. A lot of people have complained about the 'glitter' in the product I worried about this when I first tried it but it's barely noticible on the skin. I love how it works with my Mac ProLongwear concealer - for the price it's amazing!

Tips: I use this with a Real Techniques setting brush and I find this is the best brush to use the product with - using a patting motion rather than brushing gives the best effect.

E.l.f under eye setting powder

After reading so many mixed reviews about this I decided to try it for myself. I purchased it online for around $3 so wasn't too fussed if it was a dud, however I love it!! The packaging is very small but you only need a tiny amount of product each use. It makes my under eye concealer last a lot longer and minimizes the creasing I usually get. I also like how the powder gives a slightly brightening effect to the area it is placed on.

Tips: Use a larger fluffy eyeshadow brush when picking up this product and then slightly tap the brush on a hard surface, that way most of the glitter can fall off the brush..unless you want glitter :)

Great for the price!

This for sure helps to stop the concealer sinking into lines etc. only fault is the glitter thats in it!

Tips: Use a large brush to apply to minimise the glitter if it isn't your cup of tea :)

I love it

I think its good and it does the job. There are better products out there but this is so affordable.

Tips: I use this with my beauty blender not the little brush it comes with. I feel like it looks better when applied with a beauty blender

Rare

I love this powder, I hate that its so hard to find.

I always end up using my own brush with this as I find the one included to be finicky. Aside from that I love it for setting under my eyes and preventing creasing, its super easy to apply and doesn't wreck your overall look. Which is surprising given how cheap it is.

This has been a saviour for me when working with eyeliner that likes to bleed, preventing any embarrassing mishaps and panda eyes. The only issue I have with this product is that you only come across it once in a blue moon.

Great.

This feels heaps like ELFs HD Setting powder. This is a super finely milled powder that has a similar texture to cornflour. It is really silky.

It wasn't until I received this from the elf website that I realised this has micro glitters in it. At first I was hesitant to use this as I can't stand anything glittery on my eyes, but the sparkles don't really translate onto your face.

I haven't used this by itself (I was actually unaware you could use it alone), but I use this to set my under eye concealer. This does a great job of setting your concealer and it makes sure that your concealer doesn't budge throughout the day.

I'm not too sure if this helps brighten your under eye area, but I do love this as an under eye setting powder. This lasts a long, long time as you really only need a small amount. Like their HD Setting powder, this has a white cast so if you use too much you're going to look a little pale. If you use a small amount then this comes across as translucent.

If I ever run out of this I will absolutely purchase it again. It's a great product for a super affordable price.

Tips: Use really sparingly.

Perfect undereye setter!!

I started using this when I saw a video on shaaanxo beauty channel. Ever since then I've been hooked! I haven't noticed any creasing and it makes for a longer lasting make up look. The texture is a very light powder that I dust on with a flat top eyeshadow brush or angled kabuki. I accidentally removed the plastic piece between the powder and the lid and now I have a hard time trying to get a small amount, but had I not thrown that piece away I'd say it would have been easier to handle. I've really enjoyed using is product as both an undereye setting powder and a highlighter

Love it

Great for setting MAC prolongwear concealer! Doesn't crease or go cakey. Agree with the other reviews about fiddly lid and you usually get more product on your brush than you want but the product itself is great. Purchased off iherb and its such a bargain!

Loooove!

I ordered this stuff on a whim not sure how to use it or anything.

It is packaged in a cute little pottle with a tiny little brush, very cute! It is a super fine translucent powder with a light shimmer in it.

I didn't really know how to use the powder initially and given it's shimmer I wasn't too sure about putting it all over my concealer around my eyes, so personally I use a tiny little bit under my bottom lash line, and around both corners of my eyes. It has an awesome brightening effect around the inner corners of my eyes, and applying it under my lash line and in the outer corner stops my eyeliner from moving completely! I was seriously amazed when my eyeliner didn't smudge one bit after using this, but without it my eyeliner starts to smudge within an hour or two! (the joys of pencil, cause I'm too unco for liquid haha).

I don't think I could live without this stuff now! I haven't come across another product that does anything like this.

Tips: Only use a teeny tiny bit, that really is all you need. This little pottle will last ages!

Maybe a tad too shimmery?

This e.l.f product was something I got in a large e.l.f. haul quite a while ago but I hadn't really discovered it till I watched some beauty guru's on YouTube talking about it recently. I suppose I didn't wear concealer under my eyes previously so I didn't have a lot of use for it. Until now.

It's hard to find a HG (Holy Grail) concealer that doesn't crease under the eyes as well as being the right shade, consistency, brightening etc etc. However, with this miracle wee tub of powder - that is no longer an issue! This product literally makes almost any concealer stop creasing under the eyes! It's amazing for setting concealer!

First of all, the packaging is classic e.l.f - black, simple and small. However surprisingly it does last quite a long time although it's small! I do have a problem with the lid though as it lets a lot of powder go when unscrewed. I don't know how but what I do know is that when I'm wearing black it's not a good time! Other than that the packaging is pretty standard - nothing special.

The product itself definitely does meet standards regarding the things it claims to do. It certainly does reduce fine lines and wrinkles especially worn over top of a concealer (I like to use MAC Pro Long Wear). I like it think it also makes my concealer last longer - but that is hard to tell. It also brightens up the area a bit. The formula is very fine and is apparently translucent although I still think it gives a bit of the glow. My ONLY potential gripe with the product is that it is rather shimmery - which would be great if I didn't already have about 5 high end highlighters that I want to wear AS WELL. Which means that my under eye/above cheek area can become a little disco ball-y. However - for about $5 on iHerb or $10 from Kmart you can't really expect the world can you!

Overall for the price, and the fact that it could also help you to spend less on concealer as well - I think this product is a pretty great buy! I'd recommend it to anyone who uses concealer under the eyes, or needs their eyes a little brightened!

Tips: I apply mine with a small tapered brush - e.l.f actually also sells quite a nice one. Doesn't need to be anything special. I just pat it on over my concealer to set it in place I try not to use too much so I can wear other highlighter also.
