ELF Cosmetics High Definition Powder

I purchased this product when ELF had their last 50% off sale for only £3. You get a good 8g of product. After reading excellent reviews about this powder on makeupalley I decided to take the plunge and buy it as it was so cheap. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be so amazing due to the price but I was pleasantly surprised.

The packaging is not very good as it is too bulky and messy. When you open it to quickly powder flies out everywhere making a big mess. The sieve holes really should be smaller so you don't end up loosing as much product. You also get a white fluffy powder puff to apply the product with but I just use a regular powder brush.

ELF claims that 'the high definition loose powder creates a "soft focus" effect to the skin. Masks fine lines and imperfections for a radiant complexion.'

When I first touched the powder I was shocked to feel how soft and smooth it felt on my fingers. It felt like there was nothing there because the particles are so fine. This powder is very white so if you apply too much it will make you look like a ghost.

I pour a little bit onto the lid and gently swirl my brush into the product, tapping off the excess. After I have applied my face make up I then dust it over my face lightly concentrating most on my t-zone where I get most oily.

I have fairly tan skin so it did make me look a little bit pale and powdery at first but after spraying it lightly with a setting spray my face looked so smooth. This powder made my face feel really soft and made it look flawless! I have slightly dry skin and it didn't settle into my dry patches which was great.

I found that it did make my make up stay on longer and no slide around and fade as much. When using this powder my face stayed matte for the whole day, no need to re- apply!

Overall I would definately recommend this to anyone who wants a affordable setting powder it really does work well. The price is excellent too!
