Review: e.l.f's Flawless Finish Foundation




     As most of you all have noticed e.l.f (short for eyes lips face), has really been making an impression in the beauty world  and they have been expanding their product line. So for a review today I will be discussing their Flawless Finish Foundation with SPF 15 in Almond. First off I must say I am grateful that they packaged the foundation in a PUMP bottle. This way we can have the most control of how much product is dispensed and thus decreases the chances of wasting the foundation. Thumbs up to e.l.f. for this thoughtful move. The foundation costs $6 (I picked mine up at Tar-jay Target, and it is .8oz/23g. That is not alot of product but this is the case with most foundation and once again I only paid $6 so I can't complain. 


     The foundation is oil free so this is great for me especially during the summer, I won't be overly oily and end up looking a hot mess. However, when applied the foundation leaves the skin with a healthy dewy look so if you're looking for a matte finish.....this foundation is not for you. What I absolutely love about this foundation is the smell...the foundation has a very pleasant smell to it, or atleast for me it does. Now there are only 6 different shades of foundation, for obvious reasons this poses quite a problem when trying to find your shade. Personally most of the times when selecting foundation or facial powders I would match up with caramel. But the caramel in the the e.l.f.'s line was far too light so I chose almond which was a bit darker. Even with this color it was still a tad bit too light for me, so when setting the foundation I would use my Covergirl Queen Collection matte lasting pressed  powder in Golden and this usually allows me to have a good ending result. 






     As for lasting power, the times I have worn this foundation, when it was time for me to take it off, the foundation was for the most part still on my face. I still had a pretty good coverage. On two occasions I wore the foundation for a party (this is typically when I use liquid foundation) and after sweating, eating and drinking the foundation stayed on until I removed it. For the coverage that you can expect with this foundation....I'll say you can expect to have a light to medium coverage. I normally use the foundation in addition with my Ruby Kisses 3D Face Creator (I use it as a concealer), and it gives my face a flawless finish. Overall, I would suggest this product to a friend...especially if they are looking for a good foundation on the inexpensive side. 


     Here is a picture of me wearing the foundation (in this situation I had not yet decided to use my Covergirl Queen Collection pressed powder in Golden) but even then the result wasn't a FAIL, lol.
