Can the CHEAPEST Foundation at the Drugstore actually be the BEST ONE?! 🧐

[@q5130]

Thank you Gabi for going the extra mile and showing us the long term wearability. So many artists just review the application, but don't provide information on how it lasts. For those of us who apply in the morning and then don't really have time to look in a mirror again until bed time, longevity is the most important part!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes that is why I do these long wear tests because it doesn't matter if it looks great in the first hour if it breaks downs and looks terrible later. Thank you for your comment. I am really happy to know that you enjoyed the video.

Elf is my favourite brand. I’m in my mid-50s and Elf works well on my skin. Thank you for this review, of course I’m going to purchase some.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Elf is a great brand. I really love a lot of their products and they are literally the master of drugstore dupes. I didn't love this foundation and I don't like the concealer anymore for under my eyes but I know that a lot of people are super happy with it. Their quality is exceptional for the price.

I bought the lightest shade. I useit for light to light/ med coverage. I have smooth clear normal to dry skin, but I have noticed oil in t zone since being on hrt. I'm 49. It looks so good. Undetectable & lasts well though day. I usually wear a tinted moisturizer or skin tint. They tend to be dewy. This is satin. I like the change. Esp with summer heat here in Georgia. I really like it & I dislike many foundations.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I'm so happy to know that it worked out for you! I do think that this is definitley better for normal to dry skin types. My skin was too oily for it.

[@MarinaHuq-d5g]

[@cindypowell6358]

I’ve heard lots of positive reviews from my regularly watched KZbin makeup reviewers, on this new Elf foundation. They’re saying longevity is really good & show video clips throughout the day. Everyone so far with dry/normal combination skin loves it, even my Florida people. I need to try this. 💖

[@micahsmom1883]

[@finni-h2x]

Elf products are fabulous... however I have been chasing a good foundation for too long ..so I have now started to put my own bronze tint into a quality face cream and I've found that works just as well. Also putting a blur product over the top helps to cover pores and flaws.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

That's a good idea! What blur product are you using and which bronze tint are you reaching for the most?

[@tericonnelly3197]

I am older now and I am so happy that you are telling the truth for the product. I am going to look at it now if it doesn’t work. But do think that you can blend it with some other product moisturize

The "ain't no man writing this review" got me 😂. As someone who regularly checks reviews of products before I buy them online, those types of *obviously false* reviews crack me up. Also, I'm intrigued by the lip stain. If I do lip color I usually go for a liquid lipstick (otherwise it gets on my teeth 😬😄). I might try a stain and see how it goes.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Stains are nice because they don't feel dry like a liquid lipstick. They just stain the lips and then you can put anything that you want on top of it like a gloss or a balm.

[@pamelacossey8604]

I have this foundation n love it! I apply it sparingly with a brush n then go back over with a slightly damp sponge. I live in Arizona n this stuff stays on! Not once has it transferred to my mask! Very long wearing.

Bonjour, cette couleur de fond de teint est plutôt jaune pour vous. Merci pour le partage🥰🥰🥰

[@janej6253]

I’m 62 with med warm combo skin. I purchased shade 33. To give it the very best wear test possible I used no moisturizer, no primer and no concealer or CC. I only used what I needed, and applied it with a brush. I was amazed at the beautiful look and dry down of this satin foundation on my face. I used a bit extra on light /dark pigmentation areas and it looked beautiful. I then Paired it with a subtle satin blush and was amazed at the look it gave my complexion! After wearing it virtually on a naked face for 3 days, I knew that the only thing I needed to add was moisture. My skin feels so set (without powder) and breathable because there’s no extra “goops” on my face to prevent it from setting properly or causing it to breakdown prematurely.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

NICE! I am so happy that it worked out so beautifully for you! I need to buy my actual shade and give this bad boy another shot.

[@janej6253]

I am a foundation freak, wearing all different, trying all the time, enjoying many, giving away some. I'm wearing this foundation today. I love it I wear different foundations daily this one has been on two days in a row at least three times. for reference Friday I was Tom Ford, yesterday I was tir tir , both looked good, this one I don't know it's just got something. Will be wearing again tomorrow. I am also going to try a darker shade, this one is great but darker may be better 😊

I'd like to see this again when you get a better shade. I've loved mine - I picked it out in the store and got a good match...

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes I definitley need a better shade but regardless if that, it's just too shiny for me after several hours of wear. The formula doesn't work well for my skin type

[@ChristinePacinda]

The pink tones look fantastic on you! The foundation looks okay on you, but the pink tones look amazing.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Aaw thank you so much! I don't normally go for pink but I am enjoying this color a lot this summer. I find myself gravitating towards it all the time (even if just for a poppy lip)

[@leslie3550]

I really like this Elf foundation. The color is a little off for me too. And I've seen another influencer say the same thing. So it can't be us!! I like to mattify it, especially because it's summer and I don't want to look sweaty even though I am! But it looks great on my skin. No complaints, other than color is a little off.

[@YogaCheryl]

Gabi, I'm feeling pink feelings too girl! That coraly pink looks stunning on you, I prefer blue-based bright pinks 💗 I had trouble in Walmart finding my shade too. The warm shades are very yellow and the cools are very peachy. There is a huge difference between the fair and light shades of the same undertone. I ended up getting light warm but it was a little too dark. Fair warm would have been way too light.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Cheryl! Yes!!! I think the same thing. The shades are a bit off. I'm not sure why the warm shades are SO YELLOW. I can't imagine a lot of people would have that skin color. I am glad that I am not the only one that felt that.

ELF has many good products for the $. I have the same impression as you with their concealers. The concealers have become very cake’y. The foundation I believe you’d love is Catrice. I discovered Catrice when I was in Europe many years ago and was so impressed, I brought 6 bottles with me back to the U.S. I often try new foundations, but always return to Catrice.

I’m amazed at how you you fixed it! I thought, “No way - that’s too dark.” But ultimately, it looked great. I also disagree a bit about how it wore: I think it looked really good after 10 hours. Oh, and when I see the ‘my wife’ reviews, it depends on how it’s written, but, often I assume it’s a same sex couple. Thanks for the review!

[@sunshinerainbows4627]

Question regarding stuff on your face that requires immediate attention. Newly trying foundation. At work cleaning and some of the cleaner with whatever germs wiping up splashed onto my face. Quickly used hand sanitizer to clean the area yet wiped off the foundation. Did not have foundation with me so had no foundation in that area for the rest of the day. Would a simple add on and apply more foundation from a tube or bottle suffice? So much work goes into the initial face prep that I'm not familiar with touch up in cases where the foundation is removed. Wondering about touch ups.😊

I say that because when you added your concealer and blush and setting powder (all not Elf), it just looked cakey and thick, but we don't know IF that is "product specific" or not!!!! Please, for future tutorials, please try to get foundation color that is more like you!!!
