I'm worried the powder will cause breakouts. Is it non-comedogenic?
The sheer, lightweight formula is designed to be breathable, but if you have acne-prone skin, ensure your application brush is clean to minimize any risk.

The formula is gentle, but avoid direct contact with the eyes during application, and use a light hand when setting under-eye concealer.
Is the product safe to share with family members?
For hygiene reasons, we recommend not sharing cosmetic powders directly on the skin, but the gentle formula is safe for use by multiple household members with clean brushes.
Does the jar contain any harmful materials or sharp edges?
No, the compact jar is designed for safe, everyday handling and is suitable for use in homes with family members of all ages.
Is the formula tested only on humans and not on animals?

How do I apply e.l.f. Prime & Stay Finishing Powder for the best results?
Use a fluffy powder brush or makeup sponge to lightly tap and sweep the powder across your T-zone or all over the face after applying foundation and concealer, focusing on areas prone to shine.
Can I use this powder without applying foundation first?
Yes, the sheer, buildable formula works beautifully on bare skin for a natural, polished finish, making it ideal for no-makeup days or minimal routines.
How do I use this powder for midday shine touch-ups?
Lightly press a clean brush or puff into the powder, tap off the excess, and gently press onto the T-zone or shiny areas to refresh your makeup without disturbing the base.
Is this powder compatible with all skin types, including oily and combination skin?

What comes in the box when I order this product?
Your order includes one e.l.f. Prime & Stay Finishing Powder in your selected shade (Fair/Light or Light/Medium) in a 5g jar. A brush or applicator is not included, so we recommend using your favorite powder brush or sponge for application.
Is this product safe for sensitive skin?
The formula is gentle, vegan, and cruelty-free. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend doing a small patch test before regular use.
How long does one jar typically last with daily use?
With daily use, a 5g jar typically lasts several weeks to a few months depending on how much product you apply and whether you use it for full-face setting or just touch-ups.
What is the difference between a finishing powder and a setting powder?
Setting powders are used to lock in foundation and concealer and control shine, while finishing powders smooth the skin's overall appearance and blur imperfections. This product is designed to do both, making it a versatile two-in-one option.
