e.l.f. High Definition Powder, Loose Powder, Lightweight, Long-Lasting, Creates Soft Focus Effect, Masks Fine Lines & Imperfections, 0.28 Oz, Soft Luminance

I’ve been using the e.l.f. High Definition Loose Powder for a couple of weeks, and it has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. The powder feels lightweight on the skin and provides a soft-focus finish that really helps to blur fine lines and imperfections. I love that it sets makeup without making my face look cakey or heavy, and it stays long-lasting throughout the day, even in warm weather. The Soft Luminance shade adds a subtle glow, giving my skin a natural, radiant look without looking sparkly or overdone. It works well under foundation or over it for a finishing touch. Pros: Lightweight, soft-focus effect, long-lasting, masks imperfections, gives natural glow Cons: Can be messy if not applied carefully, may accentuate very dry patches, packaging could be improved for easier dispensing Overall, it’s a high-quality, affordable powder that performs well for everyday use, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a flawless, soft-focus finish.

These popular and highly regarded products offer a smooth, blurred, and mattifying finish, ideal for setting makeup and reducing shine. These powders are excellent because of their incredibly fine and lightweight texture, which creates a soft focus effect on the skin. They provide a silky, mattifying finish that helps blur the appearance of fine lines, pores, and imperfections, resulting in a flawless and natural-looking complexion.

I’ve been trying for a long time to find a loose powder that doesn’t crease and actually lasts all day, and this is it. I have mature skin, and this powder works beautifully. It’s lightweight, gives a soft-focus finish, and doesn’t settle into fine lines. I’m very impressed with the quality, especially for the price.

This powder is AMAZING. Performs like a high-end powder without all the $$$. It is so silky smooth and lightweight, and keeps the oil on my face to a minimum and makes my makeup LAST. It’s also acne safe, with no talc in it (my skin breaks out if I use anything with talc). However, I’m only giving this 4 stars because if you put on just a little too much, the flashback is a tad bit crazy. What I do is take a damp sponge, dip it into the powder, then tap it on the back of my wrist to get any excess powder off. GET THIS POWDER ASAP!!

Excellent loose powder. Easy to use with a brush, not included. Good value. Interesting effect. Very light, transparent quality. Stuck to the foundation very well. I'm not sure what is meant by "high-definition" powder. ? I used it over a porcelain-looking foundation because my natural color is very pale and I wanted to enhance that, and give the impression like I'm half-dead. Great results.

Makes my makeup feel so smooth and nice, highly recommend! Hmm goblin definitely be buying regularly. I have acne prone skin and it doesn’t cause any breakouts!

I considered all of the reviews before purchasing this powder because the powder I was using from BareMinerals was finished and I was looking for something else without paying $25. This powder is like no other powder I have ever used, and I do traditionally use a translucent powder for a finishing powder because I don't want to add color to my foundation because that look is just too plastic for me. This powder is definitely "translucent", but not as I expected, hence the 3 stars. I agree with others who have said you definitely need a fluffy brush - I would say it is an absolute must (I have a great one made by "Flower", which I think is a line by Drew Barrymore, actually). I can see if you try to use the little powder puff that comes with the e.l.f. powder, you will end up with a white face because you don't need much of this powder at all. I was also VERY glad I save my container from my previous powder given this powder is one of the finest powders I have ever seen, and tilting it to the side can release a tremendous amount of product and cause a ton of it to go into the air or all over your side table or sink. Oddly enough, I feel like this powder makes my face a little oily and does nothing to absorb any oil, but perhaps that isn't its job - after all, it is extremely fine. However, I can't say I have ever seen this with other finishing powders that aren't meant to absorb oil either. Again, I guess that's just my skin and I don't recall reading this from other reviewers. Sigh. At first I was frustrated with this powder and wasn't even sure what it's purpose was supposed to be, so I purchased Almay Smart Shade Finishing Powder, albeit for a different purpose (to attempt to make my self-tanner less sticky a half hour after application!). I tried the Almay on my face and it was beautiful, so I think I will be purchasing Almay the next time, even though I haven't checked to see if they have a translucent one. (I paid $14 in Walmart for the Almay, and it's $8-$10 here.) I also feel like the e.l.f powder settles into the fine lines under my eyes, and nobody likes that! (I didn't see that the Almay did this and actually had some skin perfecting ability (shocking!), and this was the first time I have ever bought an Almay finishing powder.) I mention all of this because the great Amazon family always provides me with so much information that if something didn't work out like anticipated, many reviewers provide ideas and products that did and why. I have learned a lot this way - just by reading reviews. Overall, I suppose this powder does provide a little bit of illumination to the face, but there are other products that are truly meant for that, like the e.l.f. baked pearls, which I also read about on Amazon, saw it in Target and fell in love with the product. I suppose for the price, perhaps the product isn't that bad, but maybe it all depends on what you are looking for, and what you want your end result to look like. I hope this review helps someone!

Absolutely LOVE this powder! It sets my makeup beautifully and gives a smooth, flawless finish. Lightweight, long-lasting, and perfect for defining without looking cakey. I’ve purchased it several times already — it’s definitely a staple in my routine!
