e.l.f Studio High Definition Powder Review

I bought this product after I had read so many great reviews about it, but I don't feel that it's as great as other people have found it. It does help if your foundation is a little bit too dark, as it is very white. It is very affordable, so it's not all bad. I find that it does the job for me, but is a bit difficult to get out.

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.

This is a great HD powder. I have purchased this twice and it always lasts a long time, you don't need much product. I have changed up my makeup routine and now I only use this under my eyes sometimes as it's very finely milled and helps with under eye creasing from concealer. I did love to use it as an all over setting powder before though. Made my skin look flawless and poreless and set my makeup beautifully. Don't know if I would repurchase again as I don't have as strong a need for it, but it is a good product!

Absolutely love this powder, it's light, fine and really blurs and blends my makeup to a flawless base. The container isn't the fanciest, it's quite cheap looking and feeling. It has a powder puff inside which I use more as a plug as the sifter has such big holes. I do like the big holes though as I don't have to fluff about getting product out. I use a finishing spray on top to set the powder and brush and flatten any peach fuzz as powder can sometimes accentuate this. All in all I feel that it's very compatible with my smashbox and makeup forever loose he powders

I was reluctant to try this product as I had read a lot of mixed reviews about it, but decided to try it anyway. When I first applied it I noticed it made my skin look significantly paler, which isnt what I want as I am already practically a ghost. It sets face makeup nicely, but I found it to be quite drying, and it made my skin feel weird. I hate the packaging because as you open it the powder goes everywhere which is a pain; however the powder puff is nice and you get heaps of product. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product as I believed there are much better powders out there.

I love this powder. I use this all over my face to set my foundation etc. I find that it gives me a nice glow and helps to cover any imperfections that might still show through my foundation. It is great under my eyes as you do not notice my dark circles.

I apply this with the e.l.f kabuki brush as it is really soft and gentle and gives the powder a good even coverage. The powder is white and blends well over my face but you do not want to put too much product on as it will make your face whiter.

The powder comes in a large bulky square container with a powder puff inside. The sifter inside has quite large holes and because I don't use the puff or keep it in the container I get a bit of product spillage when you open the container. I usually only slightly open the container and just move my brush over the powder that comes loose. I get plenty of product to cover my face doing this.

You get a large amount of powder in this container and you only need to use a small amount. the container will last you for ages and ages. It is great value for money and something that I will continue to purchase in the future.

I bought this because I had never used a setting powder before. So when I saw it was translucent I figured I couldn't go wrong. Unfortunately it makes me look really really pale, and completely undoes all the work my foundation does. I also tried using it just for setting under my eyes, but it is the same problem there too. It really does stand out. My friend who has a much darker skin tone that me, has also been using it under her eyes while here, and it is even more obvious on her. luckily its cheap, so it doesn't matter too much that I don't like it. Its nice and soft, doesn't feel chalky or anything, just doesn't do it for me. I have read other reviews by people who love it, I guess I am just one of the ones who it just doesn't work out for.

I found this product to not really do what it said it would do. I would apply it on top of my foundation but found that it would leave me looking quite pale - almost like I hadn't put any foundation on. I then also tried applying it before my foundation but this made my make up look quite cakey, unfortunately this product was not what I was after!

Applied this powder over my foundation to set and it made my face look so pale! I didn't think it gave me a glowing, radiant complexion like it claims to. This product comes in a bulky square container with a big powder puff which I wouldn't recommend using. The holes which the powder comes out of are too big and makes using this product really messy. However, I like to use this product under my eyes, it works well to set my concealer because it's such a fine powder it doesn't cake.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE this powder. It is one of my favourite products from elf and I am a huge elf fan. I use this powder everyday on top of my foundation (usually my elf flawless finish foundation) and it sets it perfectly, makes it last all day without melting or rubbing off. I have oily skin too and this powder mattifies any shininess I have. It doesn't make your face look cakey or too powdery either, so would be suitable for all skin types.

I love how it is a translucent powder, so its great for everyday use and avoids making your face look too dark. I apply my blush and bronzed on top of the powder. The powder also has tiny pearly pigments which give your skin a nice glow, but at the same time doesn't look shimmery. It makes your skin look very soft and gives a silky smooth feel. The powder is really light on your skin and feels like you're not wearing anything.

This powder is a loose powder, so not a pressed one. And the only thing I don't like about this product is the sponge/puff it comes with. It really doesn't allow you to apply the product evenly to your face. So I usually apply this with my real techniques powder brush. You only need a light dusting for your whole face.

I will defiantly be repurchasing this powder and would definitely recommend this to everyone.
