Oil, begone!
This powder is certainly mattifying exactly as it says on the packaging, and relatively long-wearing as well. I find I only have to touch up at lunch, even when I've been run off my feet at work.
What I have noticed, however is that the powder is nowhere near translucent. Thankfully it matches my skintone, but I feel sorry for all the gorgeous people out there that it doesn't!
I would 10/10 use again, but not sure if I would recommend to friends that aren't the same skin tone as me.
This was my first ever powder i used from ELF, i got it for $3 usd on iherb, i needed a powder at the time and thought why not at that price right? i thought this product was okay, it wasn't anything amazing. I defiantly would have been disappointed if i paid $10 for it at kmart in nz. It was easy to apply, i tried the sponge but it was terrible so i ended up using my RT powder brush for it instead. It is ment to be translucent but on me it had a little colour so that was a bit of a shame so when buying it just make sure that your okay with that as it could happen to you. I like that it comes with a little mirror so it can be put in your hand bag for touch ups. It made my foundation matte not powdery looking but it didn't last all day so if your looking for a stay all day powder this probably wont be your best friend. I love elf its cheap, has recyclable packaging and no animal testing but i probably wont be repurchasing this as it doesn't have that much product in it either, it gets used up quickly but for the price i shouldn't really be complaining. I wont be recommending to a friend.
