Keep It In My Purse
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 replace...read morements 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!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 13 of 16 people said helpful

Handy!
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.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 10 people said helpful

$3 well spent :]
This is definitely in my top 10 best $3 buys ever. Lol. elf delivers another AMAZING product with this awesome matifying powder. I used the little sponge, rubbed it into the powder and went over my entire face after I applied my "face." I use concealer, foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, and highlighter..EVERYDAY, so I wanted to see how this powder would do to keep my makeup in place and minim...read moreize shine for me. I LOVE it! It is translucent, just like it says, and keeps my makeup looking perfect from morning to night. As soon as I use up this heavenly powder I will be purchasing more...I certainly won't feel guilty as it's only $3! I love me so elf!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 8 people said helpful

Too chalky....
I was hoping for this product to smooth out my skin and hide my pores but it did neither. It left my skin really pale and chalky. It took away my shine for a while but not for long. I would say this product is better to neutralize your too-bright blush but not really good for over foundation. This was supposed to be "translucent" but it left my foundation really white like a ghost.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Silky smooth
The consistency of the product is silky smooth. It actually does what is claims it does. I just wish they would get rid of the sponge applicator and make it a full size like the Perfection Complexion. The packaging is sleek and there is a huge mirror inside.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Another great surprise from elf!
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!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Takes the shine away!
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!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Such a steal
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...read more 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.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 14 of 18 people said helpful

Translucent?
I bought this to set the concealer under my eyes. I'm glad I only paid $4 for it. It's not translucent at all. It makes my dark circles worse. If you use it the way they tell you to its useless. It does mattify, but will not help if you need to brighten any area. I'll use it for my forehead or cheeks if pressed, but not a fan.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Elf Mattifying Powder
Good product. I wish the sponge was bigger. It doesn't settle into lines and is good for setting under eye.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
