Keep It In My Purse
MissXu (82 reviews)

It's one of the few products that I keep as essentials in my bag. It's great for toning down any crazy sparkly blush you may have applied and helps matify the skin flawlessly. Plus, the added mirror is what I use to check up on my makeup throughout the day and apply lip balm + color when needed. The white sponge pad that comes with the product does get dirty easily, but you can easily find replacements in drugstores and on elf online. Besides this product is only $3 so it's definitely worth it just to try out for yourself. Great for touch ups! — 11 months, 2 weeks ago

Takes the shine away!
darkangel81 (289 reviews)

It works very well in keeping shine at bay for a more flawless complexion. I do want to note that to have a light hand with this powder. I got tanned and it got more obvious the more I put on, so I think it better more lighter complexions than me! — 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Handy!
tallredamanda (150 reviews)

I keep this in my work bag for the evenings I go out after work. I don't necessarily want to put on more makeup, just freshen up what I put on before I left the house. This works! It takes care of any shine and smooths out my skin anywhere my powder foundation may have rubbed off. — 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Another great surprise from elf!
venenumletalis (86 reviews)

Here's another very affordable product worth buying. I'm not a fan of powders, but this one is actually nice. It's very fine and lightweight, so I don't feel it on my face. And I like that it doesn't really have any color to it, so my skin looks natural. The package is very sturdy, there's a nice large mirror and a sponge for on-the-go application. Try it! — 5 months ago

Such a steal
VV001 (15 reviews)

This powder is my new go-to product. I use Revlon Colorstay foundation (try it, you'll love it), but I've been switching up powders. Even though I've finally found a foundation that matches my skin tone, I've been less successful with powders. I always feel like they wash me out or make me look too dark. I tried out this powder because it was translucent. Basically, the powder doesn't add a lot of color to your foundation or make-up, it just makes it beautifully matte. For this price ($3), everyone should have this. It leaves my skin looking way more natural and even toned than other, more expensive powders that just weren't exactly the right color. I love how simple and affordable ELF makes their products. I also love the packaging. It's a sleek and substantial compact that doesn't feel or look cheap at all. I was honestly surprised at how heavy (in a good way) it was. This product is better quality in my opinion (packaging + performance) than many more expensive powders. The mirror inside the compact is really handy and I love the sponge applicator. Even if you use another powder, this one is so handy for touch-ups throughout the day. You just can't beat the price. — 1 week, 1 day ago

Awesome.
RamblingMaam (80 reviews)

At first I was skeptical that this powder was actually translucent. I was definitely shown the light, though. Not only does it apply invisibly, it mattifies my skin like a dream. I am in love! — 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Awesome for the price!
mockingjay4ever (4 reviews)

First of all I LOVE the packaging! I don't like the little applicator it comes with but oh well I just use a brush. My skin can get pretty oily but this only controls oil ONLY for a little while. So i like to keep it in my purse or something. That's the only thing I don't like about it though! I recommend this if your skin isn't very oily! — 2 months, 1 week ago

Works really well!
rakista051 (11 reviews)

I have to admit I was skeptical at buying this product because $3.00??? For a face powder? I was afraid that it will cause break outs and will cake on my face. But I was wrong! I have the mac blot powder and I saw no difference at how they keep my face matified. Actually I think the elf one stays on longer than the mac. I like the packaging as well and the huge mirror included. I seriously recommend this to everyone on the budget! — 8 months, 3 weeks ago

pretty goood
sunkissedx0 (56 reviews)

I find this powder to be pretty good, it keeps oil at bay for only a short period of time though. Only a very temporary fix (and I am not very oily at all) I find its also a little light for my skin tone. — 10 months, 3 weeks ago
