e.l.f Undereye Setting Powder Review

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.

I saw this and quickly bought it due to rave recommendations. It is definitely silky and very lightweight. Almost so light weight you wouldn't notice anything at all. Which I guess is a good thing. I use it on top of concealer and it def. helps keep it from budging. A very fine powder that doesn't change the colour of your face. It's a pretty awesome price so can't complain.

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.

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 have read mixed reviews on this product and thought I really need to try this for myself! So I ordered it off Iherb, I thought I probably wouldn't like it, because I use so many other products under my eyes that it was going to look cakey etc.

My first impression of the packaging itself was that it was so tiny, i use a fluffy blending brush so when i get some product on there and then go to tap off the excess it just goes everywhere because the container is so small!

I started using it, i didn't dislike it but i didn't love it either, It didn't look cakey though so that was a plus! I love a dewy/bright finish, and this product is quite glittery, so if you don't like glitter, you wont like it! But for me that was a plus! It was really affordable but i just think its like any other translucent powder out there. I don't reach for it everyday just because it is an effort to use with such awkward packaging. But it does give a nice finish, so I don't regret buying it but i wouldn't be in a rush to repurchase it.

i have major problems with under eye creasing and it ruins my hole makeup look . this product is absolutely amazing it blurs my under eye creases its just one of the best products i have come across and for only $5 in new Zealand i don't see no reason not to get it ! it does have glitters in but as soon as i put this on the skin they seem to disappear i would most defiantly recommend this to anyone with any foundation /concealer creasing problems .

I must admit, I agree with the fact that the lid of this little pot is incredibly fiddly, having to try to screw it on a couple of times to get it right. I don't think I ever even used the brush that comes with it, because it was so tiny, I just started using my concealer brush. WHen I first started to use this powder I thought it did absolutely nothing and didn't care for it much. But I decided to try it again, with just a bit more powder and fell in love with how it made my under eye concealer stay on even when I'd been balling my eyes out (birthday party gone very wrong). I find the little bits of sparkle in it is not as noticeable as some people say, and doesn't look like eyeshadow fall out, more of just a pretty face shimmer going on.

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.

The e.l.f under eye setting powder is a lovely little addition to my makeup routine. This was an impulse purchase from Kmart, where I paid $6, although I am aware that it can be picked up for half the price on iHerb. Whether the price is $3 or $6, this is a great product.

The packaging is sleek and certainly not reflective of such an affordable product. It is however, a little fiddly. The lid doesn't screw on and off easily and the product has to be shaken before being dispensed. I also threw the brush in the bin, and I have others that I would prefer to use.

I apply the e.l.f undereye setting powder with the Real Techniques setting brush, after applying foundation and concealer. It is quick and easy to apply and there really is no excuse to skip this in my routine. I would describe this product as a light powder that diffuses the light in a flattering way. It lightens (but does not conceal) the undereye area to provide a flattering, brightened but still natural look. I am left looking less tired and more polished. By using this product I don't have to apply a heavier face powder under my eyes that leaves me looking flat. It does the same job as a face powder, keeping the products underneath in place and stop small lines or creases forming throughout the day. If it wasn't so messy, it would be a nice product to reapply throughout the day for a pick-me-up.

With such an affordable price tag I really do recommend giving this product a go. It would also be nice on no make up days.

I recently did my first big iHerb order, and this was one of the many e.l.f products I ordered. To be honest, at first I thought this was going to be one of those products I purchased & never tried. I did some reading, spoke to a few friends and decided to try it out... One Word: WOW.

I wasn't expecting this product to work, let alone be really good. After a reading a few of the current reviews I had such a mixed feeling about the product before trying it, some people found it did nothing, some loved it, some found it too sparkly. I found it to be my new perfect little gem, and I use it everyday.

I use a small amount of the e.l.f Undereye Setting Powder under my eyes after I've completed my base, I feel this product distributes across my undereye region and blends in so easily, the sparkly white powder smoothes out fine lines and minimises my dark under eyecircles.
