Update On ELF HD Powder
ELF HD POWDER
I have been using this product since October, I now transferred it to an empty Sephora Jar,
As I have write it in my previous post on 30.10.09 ELF HD Powder
An HD Powder is, It is basically a Silica Powder, and it sets up your make up and it makes your make up look flawless
and When it comes to E.L.F , first when i first applied the product I had a bit of a reaction to it on my skin, an itching sensation, i guess a bad reaction against it, i feel like a bee stung some parts of my face
than i start to use in small amounts,
It is really really messy to use these kind of products because you waste it while you are using, that is the reason i transferred my powder to another jar
I apply it with a brush MAC 187 is great for this
I tried MUFE one too a friend of mine has it, the only difference ELF HD Powder is a bit more thick layered than MUFE one, and MUFE one is a bit sparkly, but this more matte and thick layered
does it covers fine lines, yes it covers fine lines, i used it on my ma, and her friends thought she had a botox on her fine lines
But it does not provide a flawless make up.
How do i apply, i apply it after i apply my foundation, i wear it all over my face
it comes with a powder sponge applicator, but i do not recommend you to use it the sponge applicator, it is not a really a sponge but it is puff, i like to call it sponge, you can not control the amount of the product you get to your sponge, but is more easy to apply it with a brush , at least for me.
Before i forget to write, i have to mention that it has only on shade choice, no other shades are available,
umm it comes in a black square jar, it is a twist of black square jar, there is a sifter cover the top of the jar, to provide not to drop down the product in it, i do not know anything about the grams? there is no indication
when i take it to my hand, it feels like i am touching to a melted and crashed plastic
I must admit, before MAC,Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier Eyes Lips Face come out with an HD Powder
I can say it is a finishing powder more than an HD Powder
I also recommed you to use it with a baby buki brush Sephora’s brush 44 or 45 is good, or Jemma Kidd Kabuki brush , or which ever kabuki brush you prefer
i am not so sure if i buy it once more or not?
SO lets double check negatives and possitves
- it is matte and not shiny
- it is more like a finishing powder
- it covers fine lines
- it does not provide a flawless face
- MUFE is lighter but ELF is not
