e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation

Elf again for the win with this one. You just can’t get this quality product for such a cheap price with any other brand. The foundation itself I’d give 4 stars but coupled with the low price it more than deserves 5 stars. It’s a silky finish, medium coverage foundation that doesn’t require a ton of product to get decent coverage.

Soo…I’m cheap. Not sorry 🙃! I never fall for those social media products. Ever. Until Il Makiage foundation. Only because my beauty struggle in life has been finding the right shade for me. And this time my struggle overpowered my cheapness, lol. So I order the product and lo and behold. It’s true. It matched me flawlessly. The only thing is that the coverage is for younger people. It’s thick and drying and I’m old, thats not gonna work for me. So I returned it, but now that I had that knowledge in my arsenal of knowing what shade fit me, I went online and found a website called Findation . com that matches you with your same shade in almost any other brand, to other other brands. It pulled this one up and knowing ELF is affordable, I figured I’d start with this one. I’ve never used ELF foundations and sure enough my shade was not sold in most stores :/ . So I ordered here and tried it. It ALSO matched perfectly!! It has light, silky, buildable coverage great for my skin. The whole time I had been using more orange based foundations, not knowing I actually had a cool pink undertone. The only drawback is, although I’m older, I’m not 80, and the smell reminds me of the cheap perfume Grandma wore in the 80s only because it was cheap. I’ll try it for a while and see if I can stand the smell, but it does stay on the product for about an hour after applying, so if it bothers me enough ill finish this bottle but go back onto the website and find the next affordably priced foundation.

So for anyone else that has had this struggle, take one of those new online quizzes to find your right shade like on Il Makiage, take your match and go to Findation . com, and choose a brand that you are comfortable spending your money on. If you already have your matching shade but might be struggling with the price of your brand, try going to that website to find a lower priced product. As for ELF, its non-drying, light, buildable coverage is absolutely wonderful, I don’t regret purchasing it. I’m so happy I have my matching shade in an affordable brand! But if you are sensitive to perfumes, please skip it, it’s very strong.

To ELF: your product is fantastic, but please take out the perfume or use something more subtle so more people might enjoy your brand.

It goes on so smooth and a little goes a long way. It blends so easily. It’s thick and not greasy. The beige is very generic and goes with my skin tone year round. Plus, it’s so affordable. It really evens out my skin tone.

Me encanto es perfecto

I’ve spent so much money on costly foundations. None have been perfect. I’m almost seventy and have tried the foundations for aging skin but none were that great. On a whim, I decided to try this, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I got two shades and still need one with a little more color but that’s not a problem. This makeup is so light and sheer, and doesn’t settle into lines, fine or otherwise. I found that I can take concealer off my list because this covers all I need, Eve dark circles, and does it better than anything else. There’s no caking, the foundation is buildable, and feels like silk. My face is so soft, it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. I use the lighter color to conceal and illuminate without having anything shiny. I don’t need that type of illumination. If you’re looking for medium to heavier coverage this probably isn’t for you, but it covers and corrects (how, I don’t know) everything I need. Dark circles are truly gone without looking like I did something to cover those up. This is my new best friend. I’m not good with sponges but never used them before. I’ll probably stick with brushes. But everything I need is in two bottles of this, and I’ve spent a third or more in getting one bottle that’s disappointing. Highlights, foundation, concealer – for under $20. My face feels like silk! One negative thing is that it’s not boxed and comes dropped into a lightly padded mailer bag. Both bottles came ‘battle damaged,’ big chunks off the thick part of the bottom of each. Fortunately it didn’t break through so as long as they don’t get another ding on those places I can live with that. What a great find! I’ll be buying more products from e.l.f, definitely abs without question. One shade a bit darker and I’m set. My face is so soft, and I look like I’m wearing nothing but a little blush, eyebrow color and lipstick. Extraordinarily pleased. This is the best foundation I’ve ever used! Concealer, foundation and highlighter in two or three bottles for less than a foundation in anything else. e.l.fantastic!
