I am in the shade Linen and this is a gem! Price and coverage are an A+ in my book. It is long lasting but a little drying. It is also a good dupe of the Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation.

Tips: If you feel like it is a little bit too drying even after using a hydrating primer. Mix it with a hydrating foundation. I mix it with a drop of Covergirl Clean fresh skin milk foundation and it is absolutely gorgeous!

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.

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!

My go to foundation

I absolutely love this foundation! It gives me the perfect amount of coverage which is medium coverage but buildable. It evens out my skin tone nicely hiding he redness in my cheeks and most of my acne scars. You can still see my acne scars and pimples underneath which is why I would say it's medium coverage. I have medium skin tone with warm undertones, and my foundation is in the shade porcelain. This foundation range doesn't have great shade selection and the shades are on the dark side. Porcelain is actually the lightest shade, so if you have very fair or pale skin I wouldn't recommend this as it would be too dark for you.

I also have oily skin, and have found this foundation to last all day if I set it with powder. This foundation has a matte finish and doesn't make my oily skin feel sticky or shiny either. The consistency of this foundation is not super thick, but slightly thicker than your moisturiser. This foundation is really smooth and easy to apply. I use a stipple brush to apply and I can easily apply the foundation evenly to my face with no streaking etc.

For a cheap foundation the packaging is really nice. It comes in a rectangular frosted glass bottle. It has a black lid which you pull off and there is a pump to dispense the product. I use one pump for my whole face.

Overall I really love this foundation and I use it everyday! I would definitely recommend this foundation and for the price you can't really go wrong.

Tips: be careful if you have fair skin as the shades are on the darker side.

Great coverage but a little yellow

This foundation has a really great formula, it is quite thick but it allows for a high coverage. I am very pale, and the lightest shade they have is a little bit yellow for me, and becomes even more yellow after putting setting powder on. But as long as I put foundation on my neck it isn't noticeable. It is really buildable and I love the dewy look it gives once it is on. The price is great for the product!

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.

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

I absolutely love this foundation. It feels so nice on my skin and only takes a little bit to get the coverage i need. One of my top 5 foundations. The price is also a bonus

It's so-so

I get a good coverage from this foundation but like others, I also find it a little bit oily. I would not use it without also applying e.l.f translucent finishing powder.

Tips: Use a beauty blender and make sure to add finishing powder to stop it feeling oily.

Flawless Finish

This is my go to foundation. I find that it is very buildable and hides my blemishes relatively well. I find that it doesn't run and will last a whole day without having to touch it up. I also find that when you do build it up it doesn't look cakey at all. I love this product. But I wouldn't recommend it to someone with oily skin like the packaging suggests. I have combination skin and this works well for me though.

I wear this foundation when I go for a night on the town a lot and it holds up very well, even when I'm sweating. I also find that I can wear it for a whole day at work and it doesn't move at all or fade.

Tips: You definitely need to use a good finishing powder with this foundation.
