ELF Soft Glam Satin Foundation Review and Wear Test For Over 50!

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Beautiful! Patty, who has the channel Rxstarmom, is 82 or 83 and loves it as well! Like you, I’ve been relying on tints all summer but it’s time to pull out the Elf pretty soon! Hugs ❤❤❤

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much Tamara! I must watch Patty more, I hadn't realised she had tested it too. Hugs to you too and enjoy the rest of the summer ❤️❤️❤️

Dez…. 72 years young here and I love your channel. Your honest content is both helpful and refreshing. Have to tell you about Nanny, from their channel…Nanny and the Moose ( her husband). Nanny has been using the Elf Soft Glam and loving it. She is a fabulous 87!! She is an amazingly accomplished woman, a great grand mom and and inspirational joy. Nanny talks a lot about this journey of more birthdays with a seriousness and a healthy dose of reality and humor. Thanks again for all you do….Check out Nanny and The Moose🥰💄

[@beautybydez]

Thank you so much Bobbie! I will definitely check Nanny out ❤️

Hi Dez just found you on KZbin, what a breath of fresh air, so easy to listen to & amusing to boot! Nice to find a mature lady telling it how it is. I'm 66 and all your comments resonate so we'll, have just subscribed many thanks Jan xxx

[@beautybydez]

Thank you so much Jan ❤️

[@nancycook7802]

I think the foundation and the blush both stayed great and looked great. Yes - I’m going to try the foundation. Just hoping I pick the right shade. ❤

[@beautybydez]

Thank you! Hope you like it- it would have been good to try it out in store but hard to find in the UK. Still, if you can return it if it doesn't suit, that's something ❤️

Omg, Dez, the ELF Soft Glam Satin Foundation looks so beautiful on you! I'm so happy you love it! I also have a "bald" spot on my eyebrow, and that Laura Mercier brow pencil has me intrigued. I find that at the end of the day, my brows disappear. I'm definitely going to give it a go! Thank you so much for giving me a shout-out, my beautiful friend! Sending hugs to you from across the pond! Much love, Cat xoxo ✨️ 🌸 ❤️ 🥰

[@beautybydez]

Thanks dearest Cat! Honestly that brow pencil is brill - I should have said its even better than the Hourglass. Big hugs to you too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the mention Dez. I'm so glad the foundation didn't let you down...you looked beautiful! xxx

Aww thanks so much Gemma - you and your mum are inspos ❤️

[@lois4tee599]

Very pretty. I love this foundation, too. Thanks for sharing.

[@marjorie3044]

Hi Dez, I couldn’t click on this quick enough when I saw you had tried these !! I have the shade 25, and 21, 25 with a tan, and 21 for winter. Not actually tried a full day wear yet, as like you, am using skin tints still. But it looks great, I watched the pampered wolf video, I love Jan, her mum, she looks amazing for over 70. For the price, whats not to like !!! Please keep the fringe, it suits you. 😊x

[@beautybydez]

Of course, I remember you mentioned it a few vids ago. When I saw Jan raving about it I had to give it a go. And doesn’t she look great! Love her hair colour too. And as you say, for eight quid 😏❤️

[@janclapham8367]

That foundation looks lovely, will take a look. The Victoria Beckham eyeshadow is a good colourtoo.

[@beautybydez]

Thanks Jan!

[@muntahaomran4693]

Hi, use a tiny brush to apply the concealer in that deep area under your eyes so there’s no shadow. Let dry first, then go over it and pat up with your fingers. I learned that from one of Wayne Goss videos

[@MelitaBrown-w3e]

Iv just bought this foundation today and I'm blown away with the finish...so cheap too, I'm 56 so was looking for something that didn't look cakey.

[@melaniew8805]

Wow Dez, I now will try this foundation as it looked so good on you by the end of the day. I’m also so jealous of how much blush you still had on after 11 hours as my skin seems to eat blush! Thank you for all you do.

[@beautybydez]

Aww thanks Melanie! I seem to be quite lucky with blush staying put at the mo 🤞❤️

[@charlottehodgson5093]

Found you quite by chance and really enjoying your content. I am a young 73 and loving life. Have just ordered the Elf Soft Glam Satin Foundation and the concealer..... fingers crossed :)

Hi Dez. 65 year old makeup junkie over here in Texas😅. I’m a fairly new subscriber and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel 💕 You’ve convinced me to give this foundation a try. Thank you for all the foundation info. I thought your makeup turned out beautifully!

[@beautybydez]

Hello Jessica, and thanks so very much!

[@Pooki-z6x]

Try the light warm shade which is the shade down from the one you tried. I also tried the light neutral and it was too light for my skin so I went up to the medium warm which made my skin look orange ish. I then went back and bought the light warm shade 24 and it was perfect. I love it. I have a warm skin tone but have got paler as I got older. I'm 60. Thanks for your videos. Really enjoy them ❤

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much - and good idea, will do that!

[@TinaHBeautifulJourney]

Thanks for tagging me. 59 here and I absolutely love it. So glad you tried it and love it as well.

[@beautybydez]

I'm going to compare to our other drugstore fave, the Wet n Wild - that's still the business, on quality and price!

[@TinaHBeautifulJourney]

@@beautybydez that'll be good to see!

[@virginiadavidson7862]

I *am* going to give ELF a try! I was so excited to see you were going to model a foundation. I'm olive completed like you are, and have had a terrible time finding a good neutral. Sometimes I've even mixed my own, but that's not a long-term solution. So I'm impressed with your makeup in this session. Thank you for showing it!

[@beautybydez]

Aww thanks - I hope you like it!

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Absolutely beautiful the foundation is very pretty on you & the price is amazing it’s a win win situation I picked up two as the first one was a tad to pale Thank you for sharing ❤

[@florencewatts3185]

Hi Dez. New subscriber here and loving your videos. I’m racing toward 74 and have just purchased the Soft Glam foundation. I think I went too light but as you say “at £8 it’s not a great problem”. Love the VB eye stick. I’ve just started wearing an eyeliner after many years and would be tempted to try some eye colour now. My issue is as a glasses wearer any mistake is magnified so much I stopped using anything but a good mascara. I feel a shopping trip coming on! Thank you. X

[@beautybydez]

Thank you so much Florence! Shade matches are tricky aren't they ❤️

[@tinasbestmidlife]

Finally had time this morning to have a cup of coffee with my beautiful friend! Ok, you have convinced me to try this! It looked absolutely beautiful on you! I also saw Gemma’s Mom say it replaced her super bougie foundation and it definitely made me curious. Thanks for sharing this review with us Dez!

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much dearest Tina! I would definitely give it a go. It seems to suit all ages. Have a fab Sunday ❤️

I came across your channel a few months ago. I am now subscribed and also to your newsletter, which I really enjoy. I am about a month younger than you and also share your name. After watching one of your recent videos where you were wearing your Bee necklace, I immediately got out my identical necklace that I hadn't worn for a long time. I am wearing it now. I will most certainly be giving the Elf foundation and concealer a try. 😊

[@beautybydez]

Aww Debra, lovely to meet a fellow Deb! I only bought the bee necklace very recently, and I love it! Hope you like the foundation - and the newsletter ❤️

The same concealer was so bad fir me it looked dry and creases in minutes. After a week I declattered it, that bad. I bought the Catrice hydrating concealer, I am trying it niw for 3 days. Jts O.k. This ELF foundaion look lovely, and you achived a beautiful look.

[@beautybydez]

Thank you - and, yes it seems ELF concealers are a bit marmite. So far so good but it’s early days ❤️

[@Tracey_Lee]

I just purchased my 2nd lancome stick foundation in an different shade to my first. I was considering the new Dior stick but opted for lancome again. I'll definitely try the Elf Soft Glam next and the concealer. The bane of my life is the undereye area.

[@beautybydez]

Oh mine too - constantly working on it. Maybe one day we'll discover the holy grail 🤞❤️

[@melissavidic2895]

Wow, I love it. It looks so awesome on you. I recently bought two shades. I only put it on at home. I haven’t wore it out yet because it’s too hot in New York City and humid. I’m a skin tint girl in the summer and mostly around. Actually I haven’t worn foundation in years.

[@beautybydez]

Thank you. It doesn't feel at all heavy so I think you might like it but we're probably not quite in full foundation mode yet ❤️

[@evac2294]

Hey Dez, the foundation looks fanastic on you. Have you ever tried adding a primer to your "troughs" I dont have troughs but do have circles and I find when adding a primer it sort of fills in the circles a bit and the concealer goes on smoother. Its like prepping a wall before painting, we fill in the holes before painting over them LOL. I also use two shades of concealer, a lighter shade inside the circles so they dont look as deep. I hope you dont mind these suggestions!

[@beautybydez]

Gosh thank you and no I hadn't thought of that *adds primer to morning makeup*! I do have a couple of primers but they tend to get forgotten about - I will definitely try this technique and report back ❤️

[@roseyc.5846]

Very nice finished look, Dez! I confess that I usually don't wear foundation... haven't since age 21, when my derm advised against it, even the water- based type. I miss it, but, I often wonder if it would might make a huge difference. I do like the feel of "clean skin" ( just sunscreen and concealer), but, I'm not sure. Usually, it's a tinted moisturizer with a good SPF in it. Undereye concealer can be challenging; that elf one is a bit thick. I do like Maybelline Fit Me..much lighter, but, good coverage. Love the lip combo! TFS; hugs. Rosemarie 🩷

[@beautybydez]

Thanks so much Rosemarie! TBH concealer used judiciously on complexion can work just as well. Not tried the Maybelline Fit Me, but I will add it to my list of products to try - thank you!

[@leslierfriedman973]

This shade matches yr neck. PERFECT SHADE.

[@fionafrazer8820]

Love that lippie - looks similar to the BK Beauty lipstick, which for me is a little too matte, so I also add a gloss. That is a really impressive foundation - definitely trying this one. Will let you know how it does on my old skin! Interesting to see you have decided the CT Powder is the best - I do agree, and love that it comes in a mini size. The Victoria Beckham shadow stick also looks like a winner - I wonder if it's available at Duty Free?

[@beautybydez]

Ooh yes worth checking re duty free! It is similar to the BK Beauty, yes, and agree a little gloss or lip oil on the top seals it, so to speak!

[@cathyl227]

Beautiful,love all the colours too,i got this,but do not know what to use under for a base for my dry skin,could you please tell me what you did,? 😊

[@beautybydez]

Thank you! My skincare consists of hyaluronic acid, followed by Vitamin C, followed by Cerave moisturiser followed by an SPF. If you have dry skin you may need a slightly heavier moisturiser - my skin is normal. Tamara of Tamara’s Timeless Beauty has some wonderfully informative videos on what to use on dry skin under makeup - she’s in her mid 60s.

Hello, Dez - I'm so glad that someone my age (you) reviewed the ELF new foundation. Even before the end of your video, I'd gone to their Canadian website and chosen my colour. Miraculously, it's only $10 Canadian, so well worth a go. Thanks again - and have a lovely rest of the week - Ruth

Thanks so much Heba! Give it a go and let us know what you think. Can’t really go wrong for $8 ❤️

[@reneklein6049]

Hi darling Dez. For some reason, I wasn't crazy about the new Elf foundation. I can't put my finger on it, but I think it gravitated towards my dry spots and clung to them. Dez, have you tried the Hourglass loose powder under the eyes? I think it's phenomenal! I wasn't a fan of the mascara either, but it looks fabulous on you! Don't hate me, but the Pillowtalk liner and lipstick turn orange on me, but I love the Pillowtalk cream shadow. As usual, your makeup looks incredible!! ❤❤ Sleep well. Sweet dreams. 🥰😍

[@beautybydez]

Oh no, what a shame about the ELF. I haven't tried the Hourglass loose powder, only the new-ish pressed, but I'm going to have to now, aren't I 😏How could I hate you - I do like the Pillow Talk liner but actually my faves are the Lisa E's - she's got some fabulous shades. Sorry I came to this today, had to take to my bed early last night ❤️❤️❤️

[@reneklein6049]

I hope that you are feeling ok. I can't seem to make it most nights past 9:30. Then again, I'm up between 4 & 5. No big deal about the foundation. I think I'll give it to my younger daughter. It might suit her better. I've not tried any of Lisa Eldridge's makeup. I should grab something, but truth be told, I need nothing! Have a great night. Much love. 💖💖 ​@beautybydez

Hi Dez - did you put the liquid blush on over the CT powder? Didn’t realise you could put liquid over powder x I’m looking to order CT powder is medium as I usually go for a medium foundation - what would you recommend for large pores please Dez x x

[@beautybydez]

Well, no, not really, as I dont tend to powder my cheeks, just my T-zone, but I should you could - I think it's just a case of going in gently and lightly. Re pores - I think the key is a primer. I'm loving the Huda Beauty primer at the moment, the new one - it's a gel like formula but seems to work really well even under my eyes ❤️

[@janelleespinosa6247]

I bought 2 colors, I may mix them. Like you said, even 2 of them, $16. So I might as well.
