Great translucent powder!
Such a nice fine powder, great for my oily skin!Flawless undereyes
This powder is amazing, I use this under my eyes only and it keeps me looking flawless all day !!Nothing special
I ordered this in the pressed also. Sheer. Basic. I didn't have high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. Keeping this for weekends at home. Will buy something else for work.Love it. Staple in my makeup bag
I love this setting powder. Great price and the finish is awesome. I’ve compared to other more expensive products and I much prefer this. Leaves lovely blurring finish. I have normal to dry skin, I like to hydrate really well first, then apply my cream products (bb/cc or foundation) then the powder and finish with a good spray of MAC setting spray. Leaves a dewy finish that lasts. Love this produ...Read MoreHate
It does set the face and blurs nicely but it has major flashbackGood value for money
I only need a small amount so this product goes a long way, and for the price it's definitely worth it. It looks very natural on skin, not too dry or too shiny.Great value!
This is such a nice powder and great value! I’ve used it as a finishing powder and also to bake under-eyes. Texture feels nice, didn’t dry out my skin and also didn’t make me look cakey. I have combination skin.ok
set my face nicely but had flash backBest for oilier skin
This was good for setting my T zone or using on a particularly hot, humid day but it had the potential to look dry. Not the best loose powder, the pressed version is much better.Pretty good
verified purchaserGood for the money.
I have generally normal/dry skin with occasional break outs.It's ok....
TLDR: It's a finely milled, soft focus setting powder, no scent, works for setting face (not great undereyes) but has bad flashback. Worked pretty good on oily skin.
Found this ok to set the face for day time, but this DOES give flashback so keep that in mind for nighttime events! Also I found the Elf HD Under-Eye setting powder much better for under-eyes than this one. If I baked wit...Read MoreFlash back
This is a great product to set your make up with, the powder is super smooth and feels great on the skin. Keeps me matte for long time But the only problem I have with it is that if you take pictures at night time it will give you a white cast flash back. So just avoid using it at nightdoes the job
pretty good for the value, does the job wellAffordable, yet quality setting powder
Finely milled, sheer setting powder that is great for setting makeup. I use this powder both to set my under eye concealer and to increase the wear time of my foundation. This powder makes my foundation look much smoother, and minimises the appearance of fine lines around my mouth. I have already repurchased this, as it is a great product for the price!Not great for photos
I love the way this applied over makeup but I wore it for a special occasion and every photo that night showed the white powder under my eyes. So am too scared to use again at night timesSilky
gives my face a silky smooth finish after bakinggreat powder for the price
A nice setting powder that works well for my t-zone. The price is great and the formula works well for me. Would recommendA light dusting
This feels all silky smooth on your skin and to touch. It’s really light weight. I don’t used this to set move overall much up but when I bake and it works really well and long lastingLovely
Great for setting in the makeup and pretty affordable! A great & lovely powderhelps set my make up
this really helps set my make up and make it last a bit longer, and is a good priceuse this to set make up
i use this to set makeup, does a good job and is affordable too. Would recommendGood product
It is a very cheap and good product. It does the job.Good product
It is a very cheap and good product. It does the job.Not for me
It has a flashback and feels very dry on the skin. Not for me I guess as I have dry skin.HD HEAVEN
I really love using this product to bake with!! It's really light wearing and doesn't have an awful smell like some setting powders can.Great value
Powder is super finely milled and you only need to use the smallest amount to take away some shine and set your make up in place.Almost perfect
This is the first setting powder I've ever bought! I was looking for something to set my foundation and concealer under my eyes & also keep my makeup on for longer. I was really surprised this give the finish on my face a really soft texture. Although it does accentuate wrinkles. I also find I have to apply a few layers to get the finish I want, the coverage isn't fantastic. For those reasons I'm ...Read MoreDrying
I only use this to set where I have used concealer and this is very drying. yes, it sets the concealer but also dries the skin.So fine!
Very finely milled powder, feels luxurious quality and lasts nicely throughout day!
Slight flashback under eye area, rest of face okay.Amazing Value
This powder is fantastic value for money, is very much like a high end version for just a fraction of the price. Highly recommend!Decent for the price
This is a good powder for the price, I use it to set my under eyes and to slightly carve my cheekbones. The downside, it gives FLASHBACK! You have been warned, I learnt the hard way. Other than that, this is great but there are better powders out thereJust like a high end product
This powder is amazing value and have found it to be just as good as lot of high end products that do the same thing. I have semi dry skin, but I don't find that it accentuates these areas and I also haven't experienced any flashback in photos when I've been wearing it. It lasts a long time and I never have to use much of it to see a difference. The only negative aspect is the packaging because it...Read MoreSoft and Glow
Super soft textured powder that applies effortlessly. Doesn't seem to shift foundation and or concealer. Once applied, you will notice a slight soft, matte glow upon your face that looks very natural. It is a forgiving product as any excess powder becomes invisible. A single touch up during the day can be beneficial but not essential, if you want to keep that nice gloss look. For $16, you can not ...Read MoreNice when I need it
I don’t often wear liquid foundation but this is my go to when I do. Fine and light enough it sits on the skin nicely and helps make my make up go the distance.Value for money
This product sets my makeup well and controls shine on my oily forehead for hours. I do find that you need to spend a bit of time blending it or it can look a little white. As others have said this product is not suitable for flash photography but overall I think it’s great value for money.set to go!
This product has saved my makeup game. I apply it lightly all over my face in the morning and when I hit the gym at 5pm - my make up is still there!!! It’s so lightweight and soft, doesn’t clump and dissolves/sets your makeup perfectly. I can’t live without it now.Better than high end product
I have dry skin so I don't often use powder. However when i do this powder is so fine and great on my skin. it doesn't clog my pores settles nicely once applied with a powder brush. For me its better than high end product I've used in the past.Great everyday product.
A really nice powder for everyday setting and baking. Light weight and very finely milled. It does have flash back when using flash photography. Affordable for an everyday translucent powder.flashback central
an alright powder for setting the face. super finely milled and really bad flashback so would avoid for flash photographyOk for the price
This is good for the price however the container is very messy, product gets everywhere. Powder itself is very light and translucentGreat!
Very fine powder, doesn’t create flashback and is great for baking! Also doesn’t have a strong smell which is a win in my bookVery fine
Finely milled so it’s got a nice consistency, didn’t notice any flashback. It’s really soft on the skin, it’s affordable. Really nice to bake in also!Affordable
I have purchased countless brands of translucent powders over the years, each one promising to stretch out the longevity of my makeup and stop it creasing etc.. The majority do what they claim and the Elf translucent powder is no exception.
Don’t think that because it’s cheaper than the others that it doesn’t do the same...it’s perfect. It’s a nice fine powder.
I do all...Read MoreGreat setting powder
Very nice, so fine and leaves skin super smooth. I don’t get white flashback with this one as I have with others.
Can get a little messy in the packaging unfortunatelyNot bad
This is good for a cheap powder. It’s very silky and fine and goes on translucentSets well, but gives flashback
This powder works to set and bake under eyes, however if you have dry skin, this will probably leave your skin feeling very crusty. This powder also gives you flashback!flashback
I bought this as a beginner with high hopes. I'd been warned about the dangers of flashback and knew that the moment I put this on, I had to take a picture with flash. I was SHOCKED at how white and powdery I looked, and I even took a second photo after brushing away the powder as much as I could. Do NOT wear this if you are going out to a party with flash photos.I’ve repurchased this countless times
I have combination skin that’s also a bit sensitive and this does a great job of setting my makeup and giving my skin a smoother look that lasts much longer than if I don’t use it. I use this every day after my powder foundation (I use a BB cream instead of liquid foundation) and before bronzer, blush and highlighter (although I’ve used it after these steps too and that was fine). You only need to...Read MoreAmazing
This high def powder is a lovely quality and glides on perfectly to give an amazing finish . Highly recommend.So smooth and silky!
This makes my face so smooth... it's like silky and feels so fresh! I used the pad that's included a few times but found that it would pick up the foundation I had put on my face so instead of using the pad, I just swipe the powder with a brush. I love that the turning lid thing inside, allows you to easily control the amount that comes through the holes. It's such a great product and I highly rec...Read MoreSIZE OF PRODUCT REDUCED!
At the time of writing this (Dec 2018) the picture above of this product has a squarish lid - this is NOT the product you will receive. I ordered this and got a re-vamped item with a totally round lid - which is WAY SMALLER. I took a comparison photo but there is no facility on this review page to post it - but you will definitely get much less product. NOT HAPPY. I feel ripped off.Good alternative to Laura Mercier
I bought this on a whim to see if the hype was real and it so is! I actually prefer it for setting the undereyes than the LM Secret Brightening powder, and it’s really cheap. A little goes a long way.
Works Well
Super cheap and works very well under my eyes to prevent creasing. Doesn't help with my oily combo skin so I don't generally set my face with this. It looks great on my pale skin but when my tan friend borrowed some she needed to buff it a little with her own powder as it looked a little pasty on her skin tone.Already Recommended to most friends
Having combination skin being really oily on my Tzone and dry on my cheeks. This product helped set my face soooo well during the day and lasting all night. Super affordable and allowing now sweat to melt my makeup off.Good but doesnt last long
This is a really good powder especially at its price!! the downfall is that it doesn't last very long and after a few hours my face is oily again and I need to re apply it.Loved it
Super cheap and worked really good!Sets my under eyes better than anything!
So far this is the only setting product I have tried that has kept my under eyes set for hours, they normally crease and look yuck straight away and I’m so happy I took a chance on this product! Sets my whole face just as well too. SmoothSO GOOD!
I have combination/dry skin. I purchased this because I was after a cheaper setting powder and I was blown away! This works really really well and makes my skin look absolutely flawless. This setting powder makes my makeup last all day and is also really good for baking under the eyes. Honestly cannot recommend this enough.Great value
For the price, this is actually a great powder for baking. It does not leave a white cast and leaves a really nice finish on the skin. Highly recommend it.Great for the price point
I have combination skin and the product works well for the price! If you're prone to dry spots try not to apply too much product as it can be drying. Sets the face well and is good for any oily areas. Would absolutely recommend given the price.One of the best
For such a cheap powder this really packs a punch. Great for setting makeup and toning down a shiny face.LOVE THIS FOR BAKING!
I love to bake with this powder! it is so SMOOTH and makes your skin looks airbrushed and flawless. It is pretty finely milled and very cheap compared to other raved about loose translucent powdersGreat value
A good price-point if you're clumsy like me and accidentally tip out a lot! The product works, but I'm going back to pressed setting powders.Really good
This powder is great and was my go to before the RCMA No Colour Powder. So finely milled and really good for toning down powder face products when you've been a bit too heavy handed. It is also excellent for setting the under eye area and a little goes a long way.flashback
not sure how other people have had such a great experience but i found it had flashback and didnt set my makeup on my oily skin. might just be me as i have very oily skin but i personally dont recommend thisExcellent Powder
Excellent powder especially for the price. Finely milled, so melts into the skin. No flashback in photos. A+++Perfect for baking
This is a fantastic powder which lives up to all of it's claims and more. It is also incredibly affordable. The powder does leave a very slight white cast which is easily managed by setting spray and it amazing at blurring out skin imperfections.Great setting powder at a reasonable price
I love elf products and have used the under eye setting powder for ages. This is a thicker grain powder but works great for everyday use. Doesn't seem to have flashback either which is a plus.amazing for the price - better than you expect
i used to use this everyday, especially when i was very fair. now i use it in place of my laura mercier powder if im not down to use the good stuff. it is like velvet! make sure you dust off properly though or flashback will get youAmazing!
I have oily skin and this stuff leaves my face looking soft & matte for the whole day.
It's so reasonably priced too! Definitely one I would recommend for the Makeup bag!Soft
This leaves my skin feeling so soft unfortunately I get some flash backGreat
Left my skin nice and soft and also matte, don't leave without it!Okay for beginners
I love how silky my face felt after application, it was good for setting my foundation but not for baking!No comparison
I haven't used loose setting powder before as I've never really felt the need to however since having children, my skin type has changed dramatically. I am now oily in places I didn't realise I ever would be!
As I have no comparison in terms of using loose powder to judge this by, I cannot confidently say it's better than 'brand name'. I do have to say that it's pretty decent for the ...Read MoreCheap substitute
This powder did it job but not too great because it didn’t last for too long. Also the product’s design is a bit funny so you’d get too much powder out the first time you used it.As good as high end products
This is a great setting powder, so soft and silky. It leaves my pores looking smaller and I don't look chalky. Will definitely try it again.Wow!
This product is amazing it can compete with the high end brands, I’ve got the Laura Mercier power and this elf powder i think is way better is feels like silk, it matifys it’s so finally milled and the price is unbeatable I love it
