Easy to use and budget friendly.

I am still on the search for my 'holy grail' foundation, but at the moment I am more than content with this one.

The packaging doesn't reflect the price at all, in fact it mimics high end packaging. It comes in a frosted bottle, with a pump and a sleek black lid.

The consistency is on the thicker side - but I like that in a foundation, so that got the thumbs up from me. It is incredibly easy to blend, and goes on like an absolute dream with a flat-top brush.

I would say the coverage is light - medium. I feel it does a decent job at covering my redness, which makes it a great day wear foundation.

I usually use a powder and setting spray over top, so I probably can't truthfully comment on how long lasting it is - With a powder though I would say it should definitely last an entire work day.

The finish is definitely on the dewey side - which is what I prefer. It leaves a healthy glow.

I would say this is a fantastic day time foundation - perfect for when you are going for the lighter side of coverage.

hate it!

Yes I know e.l.f is a cheap brand, and they honestly do have alot of great products, but this just isnt one of them. Coverage is below average and the foundation is very oily and only lasts an hour or so on my face. It has the scent of an ordinary foundation, which seems to be the only positive anout it. Also application with this one is extremely tricky because the foundation is extremely thin (not quite watery) means that sponges just absorb it and when you try to apply it using a brush it just ends up looking odd when you apply it.

Elf Studio Flawless Finish Foundation

I was given this foundation in Porcelain by my extremely pale sister, it was too dark for her.

I am actually in love with this foundation.

The best way to apply it is with a damp flat top or foundation brush or even one better for a more flawless finish is with a damp blender sponge.

I found it gives such an amazing coverage for such a cheap cheap product. I also love that it's very illuminating and dewy.

It wears well. It hasn't settled into my pores but can crack if you have dry skin. So bare that in mind.\

I will definitely repurchase. As I have maybe 2 applications left out of my bottle.

I really love the pump bottle, who has time not to use a pump?? Smells pleasant is not sticky or heavy feeling.

I also found it is buildable and my concealer for my under eyes does not crack on top :)

I'm sold :) P.s I love that this is VEGAN! No animal Cruelty :D

Tips: Try a damp brush or sponge ;) Not a dry brush.

Its a good foundation

I really like this foundation a lot. It has good coverage and you can build it up to be full coverage if that's what you're looking for. The only complaint I have is the packaging because The first one I had fell on my kitchen floor and broke because the packaging is glass.

Tips: I apply this foundation using a beauty blender or a foundation brush, I do find that I have to use a powder to set it.

elf Studio Flawless Finish Foundation

I bought this for a few dollars online so super affordable for what it is. However there is a limited amount of shades and therefore it's difficult to find the exact shade for some people. I bought this in sand (when I really should have bought porcelain) so it's a bit orange on me. It goes on the skin quite well and blends quite well too. Can get a bit cakey if you put too much on and has medium coverage. Not bad for the price but unlikely I'll buy it again.

great if you're on a budget and have dry skin

I purchased this foundation of I herb, I tried it once and loved it so then went on to purchase 3 more bottles so I wouldn't run Out!

The packaging of this is really nice and sleek, it comes in a glass container that you can see through which I also find handy because then you know how much you have left. It has a secure lid and then a pump which is always the best for hygiene reasons. It does have slightly less product in it then other foundations I have. This has 23 grams vs 30 grams in my other foundations. Price wise, this is super cheap. I paid $3us. I think it has gone up to $6us on there now but it's still a good price. The foundation shades run darker, porcelain is a perfect match for me and I use creamy natural shade usually so keep that in mind if you are ordering online.

The foundation is definitely on the thicker side, I find it easy to work with and blend though. I prefer to use a sponge to apply this and I like to use 2 or 3 pumps. The finish is probably medium coverage and it gives me a slightly dewy finish. I wouldn't say matte at all.

I have dry skin and this doesn't cling to any dry patches or cake on me. I really like the finish it gives my skin. The lasting Power is reasonable as ell. It's not a 15 hour foundation but if I apply in the morning, it only starts to wear off in the late afternoon/ early evening which I think is pretty god.

I totally recommend giving this a go, especially if you have dry skin. It's cheap so at least if you don't lie it then you haven't invested a lot into it.

Tips: Something I found amusing was the instructions, it says to apply every 2 hours for sun protection. This does have spf15 in it which is nice but I can't imagine having to re do my makeup every 2 Hours!

elf Studio Flawless Finish Foundation Review

This foundation is really good value for it's price. I really like the formula and how it is easy to apply, however if you have oily skin like myself, this is not an all day foundation and you'll need to powder up throughout the day to keep away the shine if you like a matte look :) I have the colour porcelain and it's still quite dark on me so if you're super pale I'm not sure if they'll have a shade light enough for you. The pump on the packaging is amazing and gives a decent amount of product per pump which is amazing for such an affordable product :) Overall, a great value for money and I would repurchase.

!!!!

My new favourite!! I am so happy I bought this off iherb! So cheap and I love it! Every time it makes my skin look so flawless and light, it just makes me feel like I'm glowing yet it's so light! Smell is a little weird (like baby powder) and I struggled to find the lightest colour! Not the best for oily skin but I am always more than happy to powder every now and again to get this finish that I love

Tips: Doesn't have the best colour range, but it's so cheap I didn't mind taking a risk!

A good cheap everyday foundation

I found this makeup not as good as my normal foundation but for $10 NZD you can go wrong it gives a average coverage to begin with but can be easily built upon , not super long lasting but does well for a 8 hour day at work , probably wouldn't last long on for a night out

Tips: setting with a good powder seems to make it last longer , Best purchased from Iherb.com for nz
