ELF High Definition Powder Review

[XxEsmeraldaHellCatxX]

You have the perfect newscaster voice :)

[maxb3rry]

@XxEsmeraldaHellCatxX lol seriously, every time i watch one of her videos I'm like "its NOT surprising she DOES work as a news anchor in reality"

[GAYPRIDE1985]

Silica is basically just sand.....and THANK YOU for this review I am thinking of buying it.

[MsChaoticCupcake]

A fantastic review!

[Shoeshoeshoeshoes]

What lipgloss are you wearing?

[cokebottle86]

I love that your review is so thorough! Thanks!

[iRuNwiThsCiSs0Rs]

soft focus glow is such a perfect way to describe this! i have it and i couldnt describe it but you did it justice! thanks! great video!

[Mayaslookbook]

at 5:24 look at the bottom right corner.... a ghost? a feather? >o<

[MRGBPL12410]

@Mayaslookbook I saw it too!!

[BTownMiss]

@Mayaslookbook yeeks!

[HelloTruDee]

@Mayaslookbook I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING LOL

[Mayaslookbook]

did you mean it felt like rubbing silk between your fingers? haha just a guess!

[the3morenogirlz]

Oops!! It looks Like lent just fell, lol I been watching ghosts stories to much and while watching the review you where doing, I notices something in the corner.. Weird I know... But it's sound like it a good buy.. Thanks!!

[the3morenogirlz]

If you look at the video at 5:34-5:38 you will see something in the corner right bottom that look like a lent just fe

[xjchandaraa]

what kind of foundation do you use? :)

[violetgirl1996]

i like how you take up your time (well like take the time) to really work on (test out lol) a product for your fellow youtubers! :) that's why i subscribed toyou because you r so sincere hehe

[Carineglitz]

does it clog the pores???

[Iamhappy149]

Emily..you are so sympa girl..I like your great videos..thank you...greetings from czech.

[aprilstrickenfinger]

When I first starting watching this video i was thinking that you sound a lot like someone on the news.... I was right!!!!

[free2bme14]

dont use with flash photography! itll have a white cast onur face making you look very white and pail.

[VeronicaTran1]

You have such a great speaking voice

[kokonoodles]

i think these powders are called translucent powder.it sets your makeup and i think the colour is for everyone so it would normally have only one shade.thx for the awesome review!!

[AnzelaS]

just bought ELF products for £40 including this powder! cant wait to get it :]

[lunatuna111]

is the consistency like talcum powder or corn starch?

[shylashes]

@lunatuna111 It's fine like those but not as dry, if that makes any sense. The powder is very silky and is great at controlling oil and hiding pores (those are my biggest issues).

[lunatuna111]

@shylashes thanks, i'm really exited to try it! i actually ordered it a couple days ago :)

[hmbundy]

Thanks for doin this vid. Im a cosmetology student and my school sells Youngblood (which you would LOVE! I definitely recommend the loose foundation if you havent tried it already. It's far better than Bare Minerals). I wanted to get their Hi-def powder but it sounds like this product does the same job! (Plus alot cheaper)

[CheerKay24]

I was just about to comment and say you sound liek a news broadcaster. Then you said it's important because you're on the news. And my mind was blown.

[yocelinaa69]

"Make Up For Ever "has a similiar product called "High Definition Powder" . When my sister went to Sephora and she asked products to help with oily skin, they told her to put this on, i used it too and it made my skin less oily, so thats what the product can also help with.

[tahlalaa]

for canada i just bought this at winners for $6.99 and am extremley happy with it.

[shaychichi]

Anyone see the thing fall in the bottom of the screen in the right at 5:36? O.O

[CosmicSolitude]

@shaychichi LOL OMG. I totally saw that too. Freaky. XD

It's probably like one of those uh.... spray things that make the room smell better haha.

[shaychichi]

@CosmicSolitude Let's hope!

[nicolecampbelll]

I just ordered a bunch of ELF products!!! I cannot wait to get them, the only negative thing about it was the shipping was 14.95 lol. Oh well we're worth it ;) I just subscribed!

[mommaarosa]

This is the first video I have seen by you and the first thought I had was 'she should be a newslady, she sounds just like one!' then I saw that you were, lol.

[antonia100A]

@mommaarosa omg I just went through this haha

[jgrace422]

I want to use the Spf 45 one ..can i also use this together? and if so the HD goes last right? to give me that finish..i feel like if i use the HD it will kind of take off the Spf45

[xsnowhitequeenx1]

if you use this with the applicator puff it comes with and sort of 'press' it into your skin lightly as it was intended, it works perfectly and i was surprised to find that it gives a flawless look. this is one particular powder that doesn't have quite the desirable effect with a kabuki swirled around the face as it does when it's used with the puff.

[ivyyboo]

can i find this at target?

[seatrtles]

your skin looks beautiful in this video

[iiLoveZebras]

i was gonna say, im frim the uk so i didnt know you were a news reader and when you were reading the box i thought she sounds like a newsready and then you said you were hahah;D

[ItsCristie123]

Would you keep reapplying it through out the day?

[michellekim95]

thank you for your wonderful review :). does the powder happen to stick to your skin's hair? lol. does that make sense? like, the "peach fuzz" on your face, does it cling to that? because i know sometimes, when products are too powdery.. they do that, and therefore, you can see the powder and its very visible, making it look really unnatural.

[missbeatlesbabe]

Woah. You're on the news?

[Brittlovesyouu2]

Is it a translucent powder that can be used to set foundation?

[omgitsvictoriaxD]

@Brittlovesyouu2 yes! i love it for that

[pinkfeet518]

@Brittlovesyouu2 yes! translucent powder is meant to set foundation/concealer/ cream face products- one i recommend is the NYC Pressed Translucent Powder! Hope this helped

[theycallmesarahh]

@Brittlovesyouu2 Yes

[xxjoker96]

is this something that i can use to set my makeup. im 17yrs old and i dont need much makeup all i need is concealer so would this be good to set my concealer so it doesnt run or fade away?

[TheMakeupAholic21]

could i get it in stores where elf makeup is sold..?

[MELanieSaysYO]

Your voice is perfect for a news broadcaster.

[mysteriousminx]

@MELanieSaysYO she is one!

[BeBeautifulBySofie]

So funny, I watched another video of yours, and thought to myself "She seems like she works on TV" in the way you speak/act. Funny it turns out you're a TV presenter. :-) You're in the right line of work obviously! :-)

[LT10megan]

people complain about it being messy, what i like to do is use the puff and dab it on the places where i would get a little oily (t-zone) and then take the elf kabuki brush to spread it out evenly on my face. Also i keep the plastic covering on the sifter when im not using it so it doesn't spill over inside the container

[Wolfiewolfwolf]

O_O 5:35 has a light thing in the right corner.. maybe it's dust or some of the HD powder

[rabbits4life11]

@Wolfiewolfwolf I noticed it too! Lol Weird.

[ginabanks]

Do you apply this before or after your foundation?

[TheCityISAtWar111]

@ginabanks after 

[ilyanf45]

@ginabanks The e.l.f. High Definition Powder is a translucent powder. I would say after you apply your foundation, if you don't like the dewy look. You can also just wear it alone if you wanted.

[hyperpersons]

how much product does it come with?

[rabbits4life11]

@hyperpersons The bottom of the container says 0.28 oz.

[hyperpersons]

I got my 50% off by using an E.L.F. online coupon!:) woohoo $3 not bad! I can't wait to recieve my orders in the mail

[patti028]

great review....thanks!

[Funkyjunkyjokermonki]

lol thanks for the review :D

i swear i saw like an orb of light in the corner @ 5:35 O.O

[meluhkneeann]

whoa, 5:36.. bottom right corner.. GHOST!

[hyperpersons]

@meluhkneeann OMG that scared the crap out of me

[SammyNicable]

I have this powder and it's great! Liked the video.. You were Pi Beta Phi? I'm an Alpha Xi Delta at my school :D

[MsCupcakesforever]

I was scared of this product@ first due to price. I just felt like i was sinking to the bottom of the bowl as far as cosmetics. It was so reasonable i thought i was buying the cheapest crap makeup. I will tell you this I LOVE ELF! The makeup is cool....i am expecting 100 new eyeshadows by Tuesday! I am seriously thinking about the mineral line.....maybe later in the week! Thanks for the review and making me feel better about buying a cheaper mineral line

[Brittlovesyouu2]

Will you please review th flawless finish foundation by elf!

[a6lovinggirl12]

i've just ordered this and some other products and i can't wait for it too come!!

[bensonnl25]

Hopefully I'm not being redundant of other comments/questions (I peeked through quickly and didn't see one like mine)...Are you wearing all e.l.f.? Your makeup looks amazing, so I just want to know what you are wearing in terms of eyeliner/shadow/foundation, etc. Thanks! Love your videos.

[musiiiiic90]

when i use this and take pictures i look really white on the photos.. why is that :/

[jhbreezeb]

@musiiiiic90 your may be over-applying. Use an all over face brush to apply, and dust off extra back into bowl, then sweep it over your face/area.

[sophiesglamouroususa]

LOVE your videos! I'm doing an elf,mac,and ambersun by norvell giveaway on my chanel so make sure you sub, all you have to do to "enter" is just be a subscriber!

[gabbieeebaby]

is it just me or do your pupils keep flashing red and blue

[EGB1998]

@gabbieeebaby Nope I see it too

[101neongreen]

@gabbieeebaby yea they are weird lol

[villapania]

What the heck is that flying thing at 10:43 - 10:44? Great review, thank you.

[YaelBerman]

Great review! Thanks, Emily :)

[bipasha74]

this powder is same or has same funtion as make up forever HD powder????

[bublieeemmaaaaxx]

Whats your skin type? Will it be good for dry skin types to? :)

[bennettcullen]

@bublieeemmaaaaxx she said before that she has oily skin

[baiboo]

I already owned MAC prep and prime (which is exactly the same product) after I bought this and was completely floored!! this is so much better than the MAC product in terms of packaging and value for money

[1991alla]

oh how i freaking love ur videos :D

[jenalicerose]

You look like Lauren Graham...! =]

[HitStep08]

@jenalicerose Oh my goshhh, THAT is who she reminds me of! I couldn't put me finger on who she looked like.

[mahyaimura]

@jenalicerose yeah i thought so too

[jeankohnut]

where is your kabuki brush from?

[Hurrycanekatrina]

@BAMitsRuzi Oh, man. That was freaky... : S

[BAMitsRuzi]

why do u have a wierd paranormal orb on your video at 5:36?

[kissmeyouanimal]

@BAMitsRuzi yesssss

[DulceMayra555]

I knew you had to be from the news. I can just tell by how you speak on camera ha but not that it's a bad thing :P

[MsAgon151]

So would it be logical to put the HD powder on b4 putting blush?

[MsAgon151]

So would is it logical to use the HD powder before putting blush? :)

[s2theydney]

What 'white orb' are you guys talking about. I just don't see it.

[95hamsterlover]

@s2theydney HOLY SHIZZ i was just minding my own business, watching her, and out of the corner of my eye i saw this white thing fly past her, in front of the right closet door . . . SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME!!! it appears @5:36 . . . omg scary (:

[ItsMeRuffles]

@95hamsterlover  its just like a fluffy or something

[95hamsterlover]

@ItsMeRuffles it kinda looks like a light... maybe from a car or something

[XxAysha16xX]

@s2theydney at 5mins35 secs watch the bottom right corner!!

[realfam1969]

@XxAysha16xX wow..that was freaky! that wasnt a light! i paused it ,rewinded it, stared at it...it looks like a ghost! for real. the way it looks when paused is like a smokelike fluffy spirit.wow

[RafouliG]

I looked up all the ingredients in this powder (they are not many, about 2-3 main ingredients), and they are so amazingly TOXIC for your skin.. I was gonna order it online when I fortunately did a research on the ingredients.. Oh my god please do not buy this product, and if you do not believe my word for it PLEASE do research on your own..

[neharkhan]

@RafouliG hiyah jst wntd to no wer u got ur info frm coz i tried to look up on da interet but didnt find much.

[RafouliG]

@neharkhan i got the ingredients from the e.l.f. site (eyeslipsface . com) search it up plz..

[starsweet4]

@RafouliG what are you talking about? it only contains silica and dimethicone (which is a silicone that is in everything)

[RafouliG]

@starsweet4 but dimethicon is toxic..! isnt it?!

[starsweet4]

@RafouliG it's a silicone which is like plastic (think of it as saran wrap all over your skin which is not good), but do you not use shampoo, vaseline, or lotion? because all of those things have dimethicone and/or other silicones!

[TranscendingFate1]

There are so many ELF products I love (and the price), but I don't like this product :( It feels/looks like talcum powder, makes me look white and the powder sinks into any old acne scar, flaw or pore I have and makes it look like a white spot. I really hate it. If a person has perfect smooth skin...still it is so white.

[mcwjes]

while watching you, I kept thinking about how intelligent and confident you sound, like a news reporter. I look down to see that you are a news reporter! Your calling is showing!!!

[FadingAwayxo]

i think the word to describe is talcum powder?:]

[merrymoondancr]

I thought it made me look like a ghost.

[bocabum77]

No, it's not when she opens the powder, it's at the 5:07 - 5:08 mark! It definitely looks orb-ish to me! Lol

[bocabum77]

Just noticed the white flying thing too, I wondered if it was an orb? (as in paranormal entity!) creepy! Loved the review though! I really want to get me some e.l.f. products!!

[TheRubyRed87]

@bocabum77  If you mean right at the end, she sat the powder down and some of it "poufed" up and the air caught it. lol

[Licazy]

Is this product available at Target? Have you used the MAC Prep+Prime? If yes please compare them.

[Jbsa1998]

Do I have to use foundation to use this product?

[Sneezedoodle]

@Jbsa1998 No, you don't. A lot of people use this without makeup just to keep their skin looking matte.

[AshKatalyst]

@Jbsa1998 definitely. translucent powder is basically to set your makeup.

[ilyanf45]

@Jbsa1998 no you definetly don't need to! The main purpose is to mattify your face, yes. But it is also to minimize your pores like she says. Your face may even have some radiant glow if you are going to do a photo shoot or something.

[marissa910]

PEOPLE, SHE'S A NEWS REPORTER / ANCHOR / WHATEVER else they're called. she says this multiple times.

[charandnafe]

she is a news anchor :)

[Mynaa23]

U should totally be a news reporter , u got a great voice for it

[StellaLuna991]

@Mynaa23 She is a news reporter

[milan414]

she said just like a news archer...

[rea23rea]

i lone your makeup!! :)

pls do a tutorial!!

[Eiversed]

wat was that at the right in 5:35 lol

[Eiversed]

@XxAysha16xX LOL no thanks, u just tryna scare me >:D

[mrsalsaidi2008]

I was just gonna ask if you worked on T.V especially the news until you said it. You have that informative voice, ha ha!

[DieDuese88]

5.35 on the right... what is the white flying thing ?

[LuvinTheAznLife]

@DieDuese88 i think its just dust..

[XxAysha16xX]

@DieDuese88 looked like an orb to me..

[Hazannuma]

You for sure heard it a lot of times, but you truly look so much like Lauren Graham! Beautiful :)

[BathingTime]

You speak very well! I really loved the review!

[oph137]

Maybe that was her teeth!

[oph137]

Do you really think you can follow her rhetorics?

[JSMNSHH]

@twistedtwiztid she's a news reporter ;-)

[fatefellshort419]

Omg, I was going to say that you should totally be on tv! Hahaha, great review, you're gorgeous!

[morrisseyluv]

did anyone see that white thing fly on the video?? freakyy right hand side 5;35

[XcupcakeXhorrorshowX]

@morrisseyluv omg at first I didn't see it, but now I did o_0 scaryyy as hell

[morrisseyluv]

@XcupcakeXhorrorshowX i know rite freaky i wonder what that was...

[trananhthu00]

I usually like Emily's reviews, but I'm sorry, this one made no sense to me. Do you LIKE it? LIke, give me a grade or a score, or something! Ten minutes of my life and all I got was, " It works very well." Seriously. it didn't even make much sense. " It will work for what you need it to do"? What is that supposed to mean, exactly? Do you RECOMMEND it? Would you ENCOURAGE people to BUY it?

[KCollection1]

I appreciate your professional approach and in depth analysis! Keep up the great work! I thought you might have some background in television/news with your public speaking skills:)

[missroot18]

i "like" your videos before i even see them now since i know they'll be good!! hehe :)

[1929babe]

Do a tutorial on your eyeshadow!

[whatagirllove]

how do you put this one, is this just applied after u are done with your makeup thanks

[genalewis]

Your skin seriously does look amazing in this video. That in and of itself has convinced me to buy the product!

[dogliker2]

do you know of any products similar? because we don't have that here in australia ):

[AdrienBrodysNose]

@dogliker2

you can try looking for it on ebay or amazon.com =)

[FYTJ]

"But highlighter isn't like... ALL OVER-lighter."

AMEN!

[lulounz]

thank you for this review i have just ordered this:)

[THAOWEE]

LOL you sound like a news anchor, but great review!

[OliviaLeigh99]

@THAOWEE Hey because she actually is a news anchor!!

[Turalooratwotwo]

I love your necklace in this video!

[ismich96bich]

seriously... i am like IN LOVE with u... ur reviews are always AMAZING and right on.. always what i need to hear :) more please! xD <33

[MaiAngelsuperchild]

i use this and it makes my face look FLAWLESS!! <3

[LittleKitten6]

do you think that this and the Elf mineral booster powder do the same sort of thing? As they are both advertised to do very similar things.

[samanthaah69]

omg what is that on 5:35 seconds ! its on the right lower hand corner

[PinkBotox]

@samanthaah69 An angel, her guardian angel maybe?

[KirrrstenD]

is that a paddle for a fraternity in the background? hahaaa

[Isreal4realz]

Can anyone, guy or girl, who doesn't wear makeup, still be able to put this powder on and look good?

[ClaudieFern]

Oh a newsreader?! :) x

[ClaudieFern]

Are you a salesperson? not for elf, but generally? lol :) x

[chloemjung]

@ClaudieFern shes a news anchor!

[leahjuliette]

I got this powder a really long time ago and just now stumbled across this review, but i LOVE this product

[AshyDreams]

im so happy i found your videos, your experianced + i can learn lots from you cause im 15 haha :) great review ima get it now! xx <3

[chicgeek]

thank you so much! That was a very good review. I appreciated that you told the viewers that while it was a soft-focus glow/glitter-free, it did not last the entire day. I was so sad that it was sold out as of 8/22/10 on ELF's website.

[nicolsx]

I was sent a container that was half full...did your product come with powder filled up to the top? Thanks! 

[MadMadamJess]

oh man! I need this too! Emily, you are the best!! LOVE your videos!! :)

xoxo

- Jess

[bethbr00tality]

..Was your old place haunted? What is that in the bottom right corner at like 5:35-5:37?

[VNSW]

@bethbr00tality lol i think it's just a piece of dust flying in the camera
