My new best friend, do everything makeup
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!

Pleasantly surprised
I was looking for a replacement for 2 more expensive brands I have that I’m not super satiffied with. 1 is an IG cult brand that sort of promises a perfect match (it was a tad too dark and yellow), the other a clean brand that I bought in person (it’s a close match but it highlight dry skin as it has some SPF which is mineral and it dries skin out). I have aging skin, used to be oily but now is prone to dry patches, and melasma on forehead and cheeks.
After much deliberation, I chose Fawn, eventhough every “quiz” I take always wants to rec shades that have more yellow. My skin does have some yellow but I actually prefer to go a bit more neutral with a bit of cooler/neutral pink to tone down the yellow tones and brighten things up.
Fawn turned out to be a winner for me. It’s medium coverage so needed a bit more over discoloration. Formula-wise, I’d say it performs like the famous IG cult brand. Didn’t settle in my lines, not cakey looking, not highlighting dryness, though I did moisturize and exfoliate beforehand. The color match is pretty good and creates a nice canvas for my blush and other pretties. It’s a true satin finish: not totally matte, but not overly shiny. A bit of setting powder over it and voila! I asked my husband if it looked like I was wearing foundation and he wasn’t sure, lol. Which means it looks fairly natural and not obvious. For 6 bucks it’s a steal and an easy risk for something I couldn’t swatch in person. The photos are the shade itself, one side blended out, and then both blended into skin.

I took a chance by ordering this colour online. It smells really nice and covers well. The colour matches me pretty good as I have a yellow undertone not pink.

With everything being so expensive, I was looking for an affordable product that has great results. I was very impressed when I opened the box- the product has a luxurious look and feel like an expensive foundation.
It has a light, sheer, skin like coverage which is exactly what I am looking for. I want my foundation to make my skin even, without having a thick texture, so I can go in where I need with concealer. This achieves that perfectly and I am very impressed! The shade match is also excellent. When I first swatched it on my hand, it looked a little orange but once blended in onto skin it melted in and looked so natural.
Overall, the results are wonderful!
