E.L.F. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder Review

SKIP IT!

Review: I bought this thinking I would give it a try.

Packaging:Love most E.L.F.'s packaging, simple to the point, this is no different. The pot is very small and the sifter is even smaller and hard to get product out of without getting it all over the place, I took the sifter out as I normally do but with this product it was mandatory because I was having to shake it to get any product out, which means my counter is pretty now. Additionally the small brush that comes with it is proportionate in size to the pot and is as adorable as a baby but really ineffective, brush is a thin liner sized brush. I could paint the world's smallest ship with this brush and is now my precision lip brush.

Consistency:
As a light concealer. Concealed nothing, did not notice any reduction in dark circles. Thought it was odd that it states that it "camouflages" when it also states "sheer," must have misunderstood what one of those things mean. The mica in it actually drew attention to the area because of the effect of the glitter in the light and I notice the dark circles even more.

As a setting powder. Set in concealer nicely, matted the area well for an almost flawless finish. However again the mica gets in the way by making the look seem more immature and drawing attention.
Would be great on the cheek bone to assist in highlighting, however as a light concealer and a setting powder e.l.f. gets an F for effort!

Scent: Non to extremely lightly scented. Tried not to take a big sniff... for obvious reasons.

Repurchase: No, now that I've had it a few months, I don't seem to use it very often. I force myself to use it because I own it but I would forgo to get an overall setting powder next beauty store purchase.

Price: $3 plus tax, purchased at Walmart.

***2019 UPDATE: I heard this got a redo and they took out the shimmery mica. I haven't repurchased so not sure if they did.
