Great for under the eyes
I bought this powder specifically to use under my eyes.  What makes it different from most loose powders is that it contains cornstarch, giving it a smooth finish without being too drying.  The only other loose powders I've been able to find that contain cornstarch are the Ben Nye Luxury Powders, and the Col-Lab Set the Stage loose powder from Sally's, which is sold on their website only.  I've tried samples of the Ben Nye Luxury Powders in a few colors and liked them, but decided to try something different, and a little cheaper.<br /><br />I apply this powder in one of two different ways.  If I want a minimal makeup look, I'll use my ELF blush brush to pat the powder under my eyes, tapping off any excess from the brush before application.  If I want my undereyes to look especially smooth, and my deep tear troughs less noticeable, I use a dry foam wedge sponge to pick up the powder, then stamp it under my eyes, and gently brush off the excess after a minute or two.  It does not make my undereye area look or feel dry.  Sometimes I use it all over my face, if I'd rather not use my usual matte pressed powder.  I have fair skin, so the white color appears translucent on my skin, but I'm not sure how someone with deeper skin would fare.<br /><br />Because I use this powder sparingly, this jar should last me a long time!
