e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder, Blurs Fine Lines & Imperfections, All Day Wear, Perfect for On The Go, 0.28 Oz

I recently tried the **e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder**, and it’s quickly become one of my go-to products for setting my makeup and achieving a smooth, flawless finish. Here’s my review based on its performance, texture, and how it holds up throughout the day.### **Product Overview**The **e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder** is a **translucent, pressed setting powder** that’s designed to **blur fine lines and imperfections** while providing a soft-focus finish. It comes in a convenient **0.28 oz compact** with a mirror, making it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. It’s a versatile product that works well on different skin tones because of its translucent nature.### **Application and Texture**The powder itself is **silky smooth** and lightweight. When applied, it doesn’t feel heavy or cakey on the skin, which is one of the key things I look for in a setting powder. It’s finely milled, which helps it blend seamlessly into the skin, leaving a natural, soft-matte finish. Even though it’s a powder, it doesn’t accentuate dry patches or settle into fine lines, which is great for someone like me with combination skin.### **Blurring and Smoothing Effects**One of the standout features of this powder is its **blurring effect**. It does a fantastic job of smoothing out the appearance of pores and fine lines, giving the skin a more **airbrushed look**. I especially like to use it around my T-zone and under-eye area where makeup tends to crease, and it really helps set my foundation and concealer in place. My skin looks much smoother after application, and it gives a beautiful, soft-focus finish that’s perfect for photos or everyday wear.### **All-Day Wear**In terms of **longevity**, the e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder holds up well throughout the day. It keeps my makeup looking fresh for hours and helps to control shine, especially in oily areas like the T-zone. While it might not be as long-lasting as some higher-end powders, it does a great job for its price point, and I find that I only need a quick touch-up in the afternoon if my skin gets extra oily.Because the compact is so small and includes a mirror, it’s easy to carry in my bag for **on-the-go touch-ups**. I’ve used it to quickly refresh my makeup throughout the day, and it instantly mattifies without looking too powdery or overdone.### **Translucent Formula**The **translucent formula** is another plus. It works on a variety of skin tones without leaving a white cast, even in flash photography. It’s a great choice if you want a **universal setting powder** that won’t alter the color of your foundation or concealer. I’ve found that it works well whether I’m wearing a full face of makeup or just a tinted moisturizer.### **Size and Portability**At **0.28 oz**, the powder is small and compact, which makes it easy to throw in your purse or makeup bag. The built-in mirror is also handy, though it doesn’t come with an applicator. I usually use a fluffy brush or makeup sponge for application, but if you’re out and about, you might want to keep a compact brush or sponge with you for touch-ups.### **Pros**- **Blurs fine lines and pores**: Leaves a smooth, airbrushed finish that minimizes the appearance of imperfections.- **Lightweight and silky**: Applies smoothly without feeling heavy or cakey.- **Translucent formula**: Works on all skin tones without leaving a white cast, even in photos.- **Portable**: Compact size with a mirror makes it easy for on-the-go touch-ups.- **Affordable**: Great value for the price, especially compared to other HD powders.- **Long-lasting**: Helps keep makeup in place for hours with minimal touch-ups needed.### **Cons**- **No applicator included**: You’ll need to carry a brush or sponge with you if you want to apply it on the go.- **May require reapplication**: While it’s long-lasting, those with very oily skin may need to reapply in the afternoon.### **Final Thoughts**The **e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder** is a fantastic product for anyone looking to set their makeup and achieve a smooth, flawless finish. It’s lightweight, effective at **blurring imperfections**, and perfect for **on-the-go touch-ups** thanks to its compact size. For the price, the quality is excellent, and it performs just as well as some higher-end powders. If you’re looking for an affordable, reliable setting powder that delivers a beautiful soft-focus finish, I highly recommend this one!

Used as makeup for a high school play

It does a nice job finishing and setting. I use a brush to apply. Have used loose powder before and it gets all over the place. This works better for me.

This has become my go-to setting powder. It works really well on my combination skin, giving me a soft, velvety finish that helps my foundation last all day. I originally switched to this when NYX powder prices went up, and I haven’t looked back. The quality is excellent for the price, and it keeps my makeup looking fresh without feeling heavy or cakey.My only complaints are with the packaging, not the product itself. The compact has a space for a powder puff, but it doesn’t actually include one, which feels like an oversight. Also, the compact is bulky, so it’s not the most convenient for tossing in my purse for touch-ups.Overall, this is a fantastic everyday setting powder that does exactly what I need it to. If you’re looking for an affordable option that delivers a smooth, long-lasting finish, this is definitely worth trying.

The best setting powder you’ll ever use. Trust me. leaves my skin soft too

The powder is more white than translucent and doesn't keep my skin matte all day. Overall it's not great compared compared to Catrice's. I also seem to go through the product much quicker then other brands.

Mi polvo favorito! Es translúcido. Sella súper bien esta marca me gusta mucho

I love this powder. It's white because I am so fair skinned. It is fantastic and inexpensive as powder goes. I can't wear the beige or translucent face powder, because it looks orange on me. The loose powder is great too. It last longer, and blends right into your makeup. If my makeup has color or a shade for fair skin it will have enough orange, so I balance it with this white power. You only press a small amount on the skin. Just enough to bind your makeup, so it doesn't get all over your man's shirt when you hug him. ELF products have more shades, including pink. I prefer this power over Lancome or Diors. It works for me!
