E.L.F Undereye Setting Powder

Absolutely love this product, it makes my under-eyes look brighter and sets my concealer really well without looking cakey & this may seem weird but i think it smells really good to its a faint smell not strong but i like it. There is little shimmery bits of glitter in it though but it usually doesn't show up on skin. all round love this product for setting under eye makeup definitely does its job :)

Tips: I think its a great product to not only set your under eyes but also the parts of your face you've highlighted like your T-zone :)

ELF HD Undereye Setting Powder

I have had mine for a couple of months now and I wanted to give it this long to give a proper review on it.

Not a huge fan of the packaging, it's a little bit cheap and I had to poke holes in the plastic cover (the holes were already there but not punched all the way through). The lid sometimes won't screw on securely so I always store this product standing up. The brush it came with was terrible so I binned that.

Packaging aside, the powder itself is very very fine, and has a slight shimmer to it...DON'T LET THIS PUT YOU OFF! To use, I tap some into the lid and then use with my duo-fibre Real Techniques Contour brush. I find this works really well because it picks up the product with the long hairs and then is easy to blend with the shorter ones.

When I apply, I start from the very outside of my eyes (the highlight area), and pat it on slowly moving towards the inner corner of the eye. This moves AGAINST the lines under my eye instead of with them and makes the lines less visible.

This product not only sets my concealer and prevents it from creasing (ALL DAY), but it also gives me a very slight highlight under my eyes making me look fresh and awake.

This has very quickly become a holy grail product for me, although I applied a few different ways before I found one that looked flawless.

Love Love Love

I have never used an undereye setting powder because I have quite wrinkly undereye areas. I already have a problem with concealer because of this so the thought of putting even more product on this area just seemed so strange but I figured why not give it a go.

While I am not a fan of the packaging just cause it's so small and fiddly I have to say this stuff is amazing. The glitters did put me off as I thought it would just draw attention to my bags but that wasn't the case. I got the sheer powder so it brightens the area a bit.

The brush is extremely crap and I only use it when I can't find my other brush.

Considering how cheap it is it is definitely worth it as even though it is a small container you don't need to put much under your eyes

Good for the price

This works great considering how cheap it is. It stops my makeup from creasing under my eyes and makes my skin look really smooth. The only downfall of this product is the shimmer in it as I'm not a huge fan of shimmer. You definitely get your moneys worth with this product though :)

Tips: If you don't like shimmer, use a blending brush to apply rather than the one provided. I've found that a lot of the glitter doesn't stick to the skin when using a blending brush.

Holy Grail!

This product is ammaaazzzing for the price you pay! I have a really big issue with product creasing and looking cakey under my eyes - but not with this! I was skeptical, but for the price I thought what the heck. Best decision I ever made. This product does not look cakey at all, it is very fine and it sets my under eye area perfectly so I have very minimal creasing compared to other products I have used. Will be repurchasing over and over again!

Tips: Just a note: this does have tiny shimmers through it but I find they are not noticeable at all and either don't tend to show up or drop off very quickly.

ELF Undereye Setting Powder

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.

Tips: Use a light hand when applying this so as not to leave a powder trail!

Great undereye powder

I finally gave in and bought this, although it is pretty inexpensive. This is a great under eye powder, I am hooked! it sets my under eye concealer perfectly and almost completely stops creasing. it has hardly any colour to it and is almost completely sheer. I'm not a big fan on the packaging, it isn't a huge pot so it can be a bit tricky to get enough on my brush without spilling it all over the floor, and also I find under some light and in photos I have noticed it can tend to have a slight glittery finish. But overall it is a really great product at a really affordable price.

Tips: I have also found it at iherb.com

Elf Undereye Setting Powder

I bought this off iHerb for next to nothing. Bought it after watching the Youtube gurus like Shaaanxo use it in their tutorials. First impression was that it was shockingly small, but good that it comes with a small brush (though I use a bigger brush to cover a larger area).

I am not too sure what makes it special for the undereye area as opposed to the rest of the face, as it is just a translucent powder. It does have quite a bit of glitter in it though, so that does help to brighten up the eye area.

Overall, I am glad I tried it, though it didn't really live up to my expectations so I don't feel I would purchase this again.

ELF under eye setting powder

I also bought this off iHerb after reading other reviews and seeing it used on Youtube Tutorials and I have to say first impressions was not that great.

I am not a fan of the glitter in it and it doesn't do anything for my dark circles or creases really.

There was also a lot of fall out as its sort of like a talc powder consistency so I ended up with sparkly bits on other areas of my face and the brush that came with it is pathetic to say the least!

At least I tried it and its cheap but not for me. I won't buy it again.

E.L.F Under Eye Setting Powder

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.
