Most Helpful Positive Review Best powder for dry skin I have pretty dry skin and because this powder has the tiniest bit of a glow it is perfect for me. It also the BEST sifter turning mechanism for such an affordable powder. Even high end powders don't have something this unique, so it is sad to travel with and you won't have powder everywhere. I do wish they would add a few more shades, but I also know thy started with 3 and now there are more! You will love this!
Most Helpful Critical Review Doesn't blend well I ordered meduim and received deep which was like the Park Ave Princess shimmer bronze on me. But it didn't blend out that great.

Wow! This powder is just fantastic. This makes the skin look so creamy and beautiful. This keeps my natural oils under control while not mattifying the skin. This is how I always want my skin to look.
Unflattering, full of silicone?! 1
Leon from Portland, OR
I wish companies would stop putting silicone in everything. Why is there silicone in this powder? Silicone has no skin benefits, it's bad for the environment, and it's not suitable for acne-prone or very sensitive skin. Please stop doing this, elf. Also this powder sits on the skin in a very unflattering way, magnifies pores.
Must have 5

I use this everyday just a light powder and can be layered but it really works great on my oily skin. My face looks good and glowing.
HOLY GRAIL SETTING POWDER 5
Tarah from Tx
I wear exclusively "no makeup" make up and this powder has saved my life. I'm really into skincare and like a genuine dewy look, but every setting powder is mattifying and I feel like it ruins the whole look. This is the ONLY powder I've tried that actually keeps the moisturized dewiness Ive put so much time into achieving. I dont wear foundation, just a skin tint and a bit of concealer, but it doesnt settle under my eyes and keeps everything in place. Im sure it wouldnt work as well for people with oily skin, but if youre into no makeup makeup its incredible.
A little goes a long way! 4
D_Dionne_G from Baltimore
Purchased a couple weeks ago and I've worn it out once. A little goes a long way. It added to the flawless look of my E.L.F. Foundation. Doesn't feel heavy, and helped my makeup stay on all day. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 starts is because I'm a make-up novice with nothing to compare it against.
Holy Grail Powder!! 5
Cherish P from OKC
I have combination skin, I didn't want to look glittery so it took me awhile to pick up this powder. Now that I have used it I will never use anything else! I've been consistently using it for a few months, I've tried a few other powders since, but nothing else compares!!!
My favorite setting powder (former MUA) 5
Ally G from SLC
I used to be a bridal makeup artist, so I've been through my fair share of setting powders, trying to find the absolute best for my brides—Laura mercier, hourglass, too faced, rcma, bare minerals… you name it. This quickly became a favorite, especially for the under-eye area. With the right concealer, there is no creasing and it looks beautifully luminous. I prefer using a brush to do the initial set under the eyes (after concealer is blended). Sometimes, I'll go back in with a sponge to brighten. Make sure the sponge is not very wet!!! I have no issue setting my entire face with this powder, but sometimes I will mix it with a more matte powder to take care of my oily areas. This powder is just wonderful during dry months because it's so lightweight and non-drying. As far as touch ups, I have used it to touch up my oily areas, and surprisingly, it works very well. It gets rid of oil, but you keep luminosity! It doesn't get blotchy or wear off throughout the day, even with oils. Lastly, this powder works great for both natural and glam looks. I'm so in love and will never stop buying. It makes my skin looks so fresh and healthy, while giving me the blur effect I like :)
Works Great and a Great Price 5
QuizTwiz from Wisconsin
I've been using this for about a month now. I have been pretty picky with my powders since most make me look cakey. This went on very smooth and not cakey at all! It has helped make my makeup last all day! I plan to buy more once I run out!
perfect 5

smooths my make up.....goes on flawlessly...would def buy again
Good for price 5
Sky from WV
I only use it on my under eye area and to dull out blush if i use too much, and it does a good job without making my eyes look dry. It isn't any miracle product, but I personally like it a lot.
Blurs well for a soft glow! 5
sera from undisclosed
Most powders usually make my makeup look cakey and amplify my pores, but this one blurred and smoothed it beautifully for a soft finish! I love using this so much :)
Amazing 5
jules from Florida
Honestly brightens up my face so much
holy grail 5
aud from usa
works JUST as good as some expensive setting powders for a fraction of the price. I like the fact it adds a bit of radiance since I prefer not to look matte. it leaves the skin feeling more soft than my cover fx powder for 30 dollars. it blurs wonderfully. incredible for the price
What do YOU consider 'glow'?... 4
Cher W from WI
Maybe I prefer my makeup uber natural, or maybe I got a dud--this has quite a bit of shimmer to it for a finishing or setting powder. Like, a lot. There is most definitely a glow to it--I even use it as a subtle highlighter. I mean, the word GLOW is in the product name. Don't get me wrong, I love it, it does leave a beautiful sheen...but I've found it is much more shimmery than most people have described it in reviews; only the texture compares to Hourglass' loose powder, not the finish.
Wonderful texture 5
Desi12 from Texas
This powder has such a nice texture. It feels really good on my skin and looks very nice.
So so beautiful 5

If elf ever discontinued this, I would cry. 🥺
Best drugstore powder 5
Paolsalazar from Long Beach
I have tried so many powders, both drugstore and high-end but this powder is my #1. I struggle with dry under eyes and this leaves me with the most beautiful base. 5/5 stars!!!!!
Dry skin girl here 5
Sourgirl from Dallas Texas
Omg! I have tried every powder out there, and my skin tends to be dry, as I'm 38 now. And this stuff is perfection! It doesn't cake, or highlight dry spots at all! I use retinol almost every night, so my skin is super dry. I cannot believe the price for such quality.
AHH IM SHOCKED 5
Dguzz from Rochester, ny
I kinda just bought this cause I was looking for an affordable translucent ish powder to mattodt my oily skin. When I tried this on, it definitely got rid of my shine but it left my skin looking healthy still! It doesn't add a glow like a highlighter but it's not meant to. This is great for casually touching up and dusting all over and you don't have to worry about your face looking chalky or dead looking. Wasn't expecting this to be my new HOLY GRAIL!
Like it in the winter time 4
Jburrry from Atlanta
I have oily skin but less so in the dryer cooler months. I don't think my oily skin would do well with this powder in the summer. I like how this powder leaves me radiant and not glowy or glittery.
nice powder 5
Ladyc7 from Miami, Fl.
had heard and read good reviews about this powder and wanted to try it out. it goes on very nicely and has a smooth finish. not to glowy. i have dry under eyes so i have to use a small amount but it gets the job done. light was the perfect shade for me.
Absolutely 4
Nys1 from boston
All other powders look a little bit weird/cakey/like powder on me but not this one! Very natural and skin-like. Took a star off because it doesn't blur as much as I'd like.
Best Powder 5
Andi642 from undisclosed
I don't bake my makeup, so I'm not sure if it'll make things look cakey. How I use this product though, it puts a nice matt look to my foundation and kind of evens the tone out.
So pretty 5
Laur226 from Michigan
I love how finely milled the powder is - so lightweight. Looks beautiful on the skin, I use to set my makeup and it gives my face a subtle glow that is so pretty and natural. I use the color light and it's perfect for my fair skin, no white cast. Very translucent.
Gorgeous setting powder 5
delly10 from London
I've been using this for a while now and I absolutely love it. The glow isn't shimmery or too much - it just gives a skin-like radiant look.
