e.l.f Studio High Definition Powder Review

Like most e.l.f products the packaging is basic, its on the bulky side but its on the inside what counts right?

I am a huge e.l.f fan, i have loved all the products i have tried so far, just need to get around to writing the reviews on all of them now! I love the affordability and the quality is great, this HD powder is no different.

I use it as a setting powder applied with a fluffy powder brush and it gives me a flawless finish every single time! The look lasts all day, no shine emerges even late in the day.

I'll start with the bad - throw away the sifter thingy in the top and the puff it comes with, they're rubbish. Also rubbish is the actual container it comes in, it's big, hard to open and close and just cheap looking.

Once inside however I find the product to be pretty good at setting my makeup and I have an oily T zone. Probably wouldn't recommend it for really oily skin over summer as it may not be heavy duty enough to last the day.

I like to apply this with the RT duo fibre brushes as they give a really light application, which is good as this powder will make you look paler esp if you don't blend it in well enough.

The best thing about this powder is the "blurring" effect. My skin looks quite a bit softer and younger after use, it actually helps tone down the fine imperfections.

So, thumbs up e.l.f, it's a good product that I can see my self repurchasing.

I like this stuff. I first purchased roughly July last year, and it arrived from iHerb a few weeks later (I chose the cheapest shipping option). I was excited to break into it and have a play.

The packaging is very sturdy, a big bulky plastic case with a twist top lid. There is a little powder puff sitting in the container, as well as the powder under a holy grate. Be super careful when if you tip it out into the lid - mine came off and it went EVERYWHERE. In a different bathroom it probably would've looked like I was doing smack.

The powder itself is white and sits nicely on my face. It doesn't feel heavy and when I use it I go matte instantly, which I love. I don't like looking dewey.

It can be used underneath or on top of foundation, I've tried both methods and I really like it. It doesn't make me feel or look overly caked in makeup, but it even though it's translucent I still feel like Casper when I brush it on. I'd get it again, because I know it works and the price is just too good to pass up!

Great product for setting under the eyes. But you have to be very careful or the product will go everywhere. This can be very very messy but a lot of translucent powders are like that anyway.. For just 6 bucks it's a great buy. Great for people with oily skin, and for dry skin people I recommend using a little bit of this just for the eyes and to be careful with it. But overall a great product

i really like this product, it does exactly what intended to do! except i find the packaging makes it very messy!

Looked great in photos. This great power holds up against more expensive brands I've tried. You get bang for your buck here. HD powder isn't my everyday go to. But it is used regularly for nights out. Looks great in photos, skin seems flawless. Excellent find

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 purchased this product off of iherb because I had read so many good reviews for it however unfortunately, I have not had all the amazing results that others have had (which is often the case with me!). There is nothing incredibly wrong with this product but I'm not 100% on it either.

This is a translucent powder which comes in a sturdy black container with a small circular puffer pad. The puffer pad isn't awful, it does pick up your foundation colour a lot but its alright to use if you have to. I found that this product did set my foundation okay but what I found frustrating at times was the white sheen that cast over my face after using. I typically do not use a lot of powder to set make up and I was careful not to apply it to heavily in any particular area however at times, this white sheen was still noticeable. I have used this product with a couple of different brushes and techniques, all of which have worked alright but all still have the potential to leave this hint of white powder across my face (definitely have to be very careful to blend in well)

I'm happy to continue using this product until it runs out, not sure if I will repurchase. For the most part, it did what it said it would. I would still recommend this to a friend if they were looking for a low cost powder

I enjoy the pricing of this product, it is very cheap off iherb. I had never tried a translucent powder before this one, and was excited to see how it works. I feel like it sets my foundation well, but it makes me look a bit white, and looks terrible in photos. I do not think it makes my skin look better as many have found, and after I use this up I will hunt for another product.

I love opting for cheaper products as im a poor aaa student so being able to buy products like this off iherb is amazing!! It makes for an amazing setting powder and evens everything out. When having photos taken with flash it does give a WHITE face so be careful
