MAC STUDIO FX DUPE? ELF Pressed Powder Review

So every week I get  promotional emails from E.L.F. saying that they have new things in or having a HUGE sale. In this case they were having a 50% off sale on their whole Studio Line. Which was awesome cause even though their products are extremely low priced this helped out my wallet since I was going to buy every shade they had for the pressed powder.

Now there's 6 different shades to choose from. When I swatch ed the products I was so impressed with how silky they were. Very pigmented and extremely build able.
I loved how stylish and sleek the casing is. When you first open it you notice the small mirror which is Very convenient for travel and the logo pressed into the powder its self. Also when you bend the mirror all the back the bottom of the powder pops up and theres a hidden puff underneath, which I thought was nice. I dont like using puffs very much since they can carry bacteria but if I ever need a quick touch up and Im not at home or a Powder brush near by then I will deft use this.


$3.00 USD

Now I was watching another Beauty Guru's Video her name is Lil' Kiva. Her video was on how she thinks she found a dupe for MAC Cosmetics Studio FX Pressed Powder. I was so shocked on the coverage and price that I had to get one for myself and when I found out that ELF was having a 50% off sale I decided that I wanted to get EVERY color for my Freelance Makeup kit plus to show ALL of you guys the real colors.

Now I noticed that even though their lightest shade is Porcelain it is still pretty dark. So if your very fair skinned this is prob not the product for you unless you want a lil kick of color for the summer :)

I will say for $1.50 ($3) this is an awesome product to have and a MUST HAVE!

  6. Oh Oh Oh ..and do you have NYC sunny? I mean I have it and it's a nice bronzer but do you think almond is more or less the same shade? because nyc is pretty much an awesome bronzer for me, but since I'm in Europe I can only order it off ebay so if you can help me out that would be great. I'm following and I subscribed too :)))

  9. I've been itching to try this, but I'm afraid none of the shades will match since there doesn't seem to be a wide selection. Which shade would you recommend for an NC35?

  10. Thank you so much for your youtube account. Im actually NC43 on studio fix, which shade would u recommend for me ? Cause im just really starting out on foundations. Oh and like concealer, and brushes for face foundation which would u recommend. Kind of on a budget so its hard for me to get into the high ends brand. Im sorry for asking or writing a huge comment but i just really wanna know. Cause some guru is just a rude when i ask questions. So im sorry again. And hopefully u comment back
