Is Elf Camo CC Cream Really Worth The Hype?! Putting this to the test!

[@kellydupree6710]

This! This is one of the things I adore about you. The owner of a makeup brush line openly complementing a very affordable brush on it's quality and performance. And it wasn't a criticism, disguised as a "compliment" as we so often see. Your kindness is why I can always trust you when you don't care for a product, because I've never seen you be critical for personal gain...simply just to help us as consumers. Seeing how unbiased you are genuinely made me want to buy the Elf brush, but also buy more BK Beauty brushes. Honesty and kindness over competition is something this community truly needs more of! Thank you for all you do!

[@julieannviger8981]

I’m 58 years old. I have not worn make up in 20 years. My first attempt at foundation was Luminess. It settled in my wrinkles and fine lines. It looked bad. Today I tried Elf cc cream. I really liked it. Some settling in the lines but not bad. Your video showed me just how to apply. Excellent! Thank you for your help! I even have the same concealer! Now I know to apply it properly too! Excellent results! Thank you!

I'm so glad that you like this foundation. I wish I could say I had the same experience. This felt heavy and mask like on my face. I couldn't wait to wash it off. Everyone is different. I have dry skin, and this did nothing for me, unfortunately. Elf truly does make some great products, but not all are for everyone. ❤❤

[@loribaker8339]

Hi Lisa, I love this CC cream! I have very oily skin and used elf's oil control primer before applying. After 4 hours, my skin looked dewy, but not oily or shiny. It didn't break apart even after wearing it all day. My mom has very dry skin and she also loves this CC cream. It's alittle pricy for an elf product, but it takes only about a half a pump to get great coverage, so it will last a long time. Great CC cream!

[@RoseannaSassoSchottenfeld]

I really liked this products. I've never used a CC cream, didn't even know what it was all about until I researched it. I had the same shade as you and I had to return it! It was soooo orange & dark on me. So I picked up a lighter shade, but honestly I was very confused with the shades. But it did work out beautifully. I created 2 videos using it and I think its beautiful. I'm 53 years old and have "normal" skin, whatever that means. Not dry and not oily. Thank you so much for this review😍

Apparently I’m in between shades with this, it was somewhat drying to my 50 year old skin which is combination. But my 30 year old daughter was a perfect match for this and loves it. I wanted to love this for myself. But I’m happy it didn’t go to waste by my daughter using it.

I have oily skin, and I from the east coast. This works perfectly on my skin. I can go about 4 hours without powdering. I also have a little rosacea, and this covers it perfectly. Sometimes I put the product on my partner, who has dry skin, and it does last longer on him. He has never been into makeup, but I apply half a pump to even his skin when he has an important meeting. Even though he is into makeup, he likes the look.

Hi Lisa what eyeshadow are you wearing

[@juliahester3466]

As you are/were a professional artist, I have a question. Should I wear primer under my foundation? I am an almost 51 yr old woman with normal skin and wear light coverage foundation. I am new to makeup and am still trying to find out what shades work best for me. Not easy, lots of guess work

[@CJ_536]

I know this is an old comment, but in case others read this and have a question, I will answer. I am 46 with combination and somewhat eczema prone sensitive skin. I use moisturizing creams like L'Oreal 45+ wrinkle repair or revitalift, then add a tinted moisturizer sunscreen by Neutrogena, and then I use a clear primer by almay. (Let each layer dry before applying the next). I have found I rarely need a cc cream or foundation after that but use it when i want a more polished look. I have found that primer is essential because it allows the foundations to go in evenly. Without it, foundation is more likely to settle into dry patches and fine lines and it also might be heavier on one area over another. Primer also helps even skin tones and hold in the moisture, so I use it even without foundation. Hope that helps

[@rebjones6484]

Need help! I have problems with mascara. All mascaras clump on me.. I have long thin eyelashes. Bought the lancome primer and it just made my idol clumpier. What am I doing wrong?

[@reginaroza3154]

Try the Ilia mascara. It keeps lashes separated with just a smidge of volume. No clumps and there's a comb on one side of the brush. I have long lashes too and have trouble with clumping which drives me nuts!

[@loribaker8339]

Put two or 3 drops of eye drops in the tube. Pull the brush in and out at least 10 times, but not all the way out. Do this to mix the eye drops in the formula. I always do this because I have long, fairly thick eye lashes and this helps me to get a full 3 months use out of one tube of mascara! I hate the clumping too. Good luck!

[@AllyKit]

I had the same experience. It was thick and slid around no matter the primer, or no primer. Plus it oxidized like crazy. It’s been a long time since I disliked a foundation this much and can’t understand the hype at all. It Cosmetics Your Skin but Better is soooo much better. Worth the extra $ for sure. That is, if you like the natural look and feel. Normally I would try to blend with something else but I couldn’t even give it away.

You might like the 240W shade. I’m NC25 and it was too dark for me (more like a medium than light-medium). I have mature combo skin and it felt greasy, just sat on top of the skin and slid all around while caking at the same time. 😱 What a horror show lol. I think it was the chemical SPF. Disclaimer: I’m not a fan of CC or BB creams so that was my own fault for believing the hype that it was better than the IT CC but at least I am only out $14 for this one!

You can try adding a drop of beauty oil (I personally use The Ordinary 100% plant squalene) and mix well with a pump of the CC Cream before applying. I also have dry skin & doing that with heavier or matte foundations makes them work great for me! I get to keep the coverage, but it looks smoother, hydrated and blends into the skin so much better. :)
