Hello girls, today I'm going to talk to you about the Alf initiative. Of course, girls, this well-known powder needs no introduction. Girls, it sets in a way that's not natural, girls, and it minimizes pores and lines, and it makes your face look like, I mean, as if you've put a filter on your face.

Of course, girls, my advice is, if you're going to put it on, don't put a lot, because it reflects light, so it will look white. So if you put it on, put a limited amount and spread it well, and believe me, try it.

e.l.f. HD Powder Review Summary

The e.l.f. HD powder is a transparent, lightweight setting powder that doesn't provide coverage or color. However, it's very effective at mattifying the skin and setting concealer all day without creasing. It has a smooth texture and gives a clean, matte finish. Its price is excellent for its performance, but it must be used very sparingly to avoid a white 'flour' effect, especially when taking photos with flash at night.

Worth buying if you're looking for an affordable and effective setting powder to mattify skin and set concealer.
