The ELF High Definition Powder in Sheer is a translucent powder that can be used to set the entire face. I purchased the powder months ago, and I have gone back and forth on how I feel about it. Find out why below.
Update: This review was originally published a few years ago. ELF Cosmetics has now updated the packaging for their ELF High Definition Powder, but the product & formula is the same.
High Definition Translucent Powder Description:
“This high definition loose powder creates a “soft focus” effect on the skin. Helps mask fine lines and imperfections for a radiant looking complexion. Swirl a powder brush over the powder, tap of the excess, and buff onto the face and neck. Wear alone, or use it to set foundation and makeup”. (Description taken from elfcosmetics.com)

ELF High Definition Powder in Sheer Review
I have used the ELF High Definition Powder (in Sheer) off and on for months and I used to like it.
In general, this “affordable” powder is good.
It works as a baking powder, but is not as finely milled as I prefer. I don’t often bake under my eyes anymore, so I tend to reach for more micronized powders that quickly absorb into the skin.
I think the ELF High Definition Powder is good for the price point ,and you get a lot of product, but its not my favorite.
It does give the skin a soft finish but doesn’t add any “radiance” as described.
Overall, this product is good, but doesn’t wow me.
However, I have used the High Definition under eye setting powder ($3 – no longer available) and that product is wonderful, so it is a great alternative if you only looking for a translucent under eye setting powder as opposed to one for your entire face.
I still use the High Definition Powder, but I don’t reach for it as often as I thought I would after discovering other powders that have become my favorites.
