Thank you to all you "high end" gals who aren't complaining about the affordable video!😜x

[@pamelahinds9593]

I bought it a week ago after seeing your inst saying it was launched and was so surprised, I loved it for 8 quid ! 46 menopausal women with combo skin, who wants skin like foundation ❤

[@pame8872]

I really appreciate that you tried this out for several days before filming!! Thank you.

[@emp2291]

I love that you showed us how it looks on your skin outside. Really helpful!

[@micheleg81]

I am 60, dry skin with slight rosacea, especially on my nose. I am fair to light, mostly neutral but some cools will work for me. First I got 13 neutral but it was a bit light. I skipped all the way to 20 cool and it’s a great match. I found it better to apply with a sponge first. Let it dry down just a bit, and then do another thin layer on my problem areas with a brush. I like it and also found that the liquid putty primer works very well with it. Not the best coverage I’ve had but far from the worst.

[@karenbishop6320]

I LOVE your barely there blush. It makes you look incredibly youthful with it being so subtle.

[@iwillstom]

THE best foundation I’ve tried in the last year bar none. I’m still shocked at how effortlessly it applies when I typically have trouble with pilling, streaking and clinging to dry patches across all brands on a regular basis. I have oily/combo skin and it does get dewy, yet (using setting spray) it did not break down and look crazy in 95 degree heat. Tentative holy grail status. 🤞

[@angelabenigno]

Hi Gemma! Thank you for this new review! ❤

[@samc5877]

I have been waiting for this! Diving right in 👍🏼

Wow the foundation looked great on you! I ordered it and am excited to try it.

[@annettehankins3268]

Great video!! I am going to try it!!

[@shadowtouched16]

I love your try videos. The wear test in this is great. Thanks for showing it in so many lightings, settings and closeness. Plus testing the 3 shades on your chin was helpful. I think I might be a #11 or #13. Im 49 parimenopausale and my skin has completely changed texture. For 25+ yrs Ive only used only powder foundations, without primers even. Now I need to explore liquid to options and primers. This is a good price to test my new texture out on.

[@suzgoldtropic3238]

I've ordered this in shade 21, so glad to see you liked it, I'm keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 😊

[@joylewullis9538]

Looks beautiful and you sure can’t beat the price. I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks Gemma I ordered 13 it’s to light I will have to pick up 21 see you soon ❤

[@SammyG949]

I absolutely love this foundation. I’ve got dry skin and it works if you apply thin layers as you build it up. I haven’t used my IT cosmetics CC cream since. I picked up light cool and light neutral and they both work. It’s a bargain at £8!

[@janreding9384]

I am pretty much a regular user of the CC cream which is a bit pricey I am very much looking forward to trying this Foundation I'm hoping that it works as well as the CC cream for me thanks for sharing your opinion

[@SammyG949]

@@janreding9384 yes me too I believe it has a very similar finish if applied in thin layers. Hope you get on ok with it 👍🏻

[@cathyloudermilk758]

I recently got this foundation and I love it

[@suetomfordlaw6673]

I have been alternating this one and the TirTir cushion foundation for the last 2 weeks. I find them both beautiful and better that anything I have bought in the last 6 months. I don't usually choose drug store brands, however this one is great. I bought 3 different shades (which at $8.00 each was still cheaper than my usual foundations) I find that they all actually work on their own or can be mixed for custom match. Its just a great foundation.

[@amandaharvey8074]

I just purchased this yesterday but haven't tried it yet. After seeing your video now I think I picked the wrong shade. We'll give it a go anyway and see how it does. Whatever you're wearing on your face today is absolutely lovely. It's subtle but fresh and youthful

[@mojgansabour3129]

Your hair color is amazing ❤️

[@littlevoice_11]

With these new Elf releases, please can you summarise which products are worth buying and would to avoid?

[@barbarapauley3053]

I love this foundation on my 62 yo face. I have combo skin with lines/wrinkles. I used it over the liquid putty primer and applied it very lightly over lines. It barely settled in my marionette lines- I am very pleased with this!

[@kerriechallinor1489]

I too was wondering anout this one, thanks Gemma, worth a try for £8 😊

[@emilyal-zeibak7862]

Thanks for this review and for help with the shades. Your brows look amazing here. Please can you let us know what products you used on your brows. Have you also had your brows tinted or had them laminated? The shape is fabulous ❤

[@cathvardy9720]

Used with the liquid primer from elf lasted all day x

[@sarahcox1805]

Happy belated birthday to your mom!

[@claredyj2015]

I’m with you Gem, not keen on Elf bases! I’ll stick with Loreal serum foundation for now! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@beccahg.3157]

I went platinum blonde and now I feel like we are shade twins. Similar age, skintone, & skin type. Thank you for this video.

[@mildredm.5372]

Really helpful! Thank you! I love your videos!! I hope you don’t mind me asking, where are your creaseless hair clips from? 😊

[@PamperedWolf]

I don’t mind at all. They’re from Kitsch xx

[@CD-bn7el]

Ill try it but i love lisa eldridge

[@lesliespencer7942]

Belated happy to your mum! How does the Elf compare to other skin tints you like? LE? Sweed? Danessa?

[@PamperedWolf]

This isn’t a skin tint, it’s a full foundation. So it’s totally different x

[@mariabarradas4235]

Hello Gemma, thanks, as soon they come out here in canada I will try it, I guess that for me it would be a 25 since I am a bit darker then you but it looks really pretty on you, Happy belated Birthday to your lovely mom, I bet you had a great time...feel better soon and more relaxed, stress is so bad for us right?...thanks.

[@zoelouise8909]

Hi, thank you for the review. Does it flashback?

[@TheWitchofWhiteTailHollow]

I haven’t bought it yet! I am struggling with color selection. But for $8 USD I’m going to try it

[@victoriacbee]

Ive been waiting for you to review this one 😂

[@neysarodriguez9622]

Hi Gemma, love your videos. What color do you use on the front of your hair. Thank you.

[@littlevoice_11]

Standing at the makeup counter... frantically scrolling through your channel, trying to find which is your top 2 blurring powders and also the creaseproof undereye concealer. Couldn't find them 😔 Left empty-handed because i felt too unconfident in choosing for myself. Pleaseeeee remind me! (Or I'll hold out for an updated high-end and affordable favourites video)

[@victoriacbee]

I found the lancome all over concealer thanks to Gemma and its my ride or die. She also likes the huda beauty faux filter. Blurring powder - she's a big fan of Pat Mcgrath and I want to pick up NARS because of Gemma.

[@paulinetaylor3528]

Hi Gemma Learning a lot from your videos so thank you for that. Apart from trying a few different shades of foundation on the cheek / neckline is there any info on the product that tells you that if it’s for neutral, cool, warm undertones. If there is I can never seem to find it. Alternatively are there any websites that would tell you the undertones of foundations or is it just a matter of asking the assistant on the counter? I’ve done this a few times before and not many of them seem to give much info on this.

[@PamperedWolf]

The undertones are on the product and the website Pauline. X

[@theworldofjuniperthecat1307]

Thanks.

[@denisefrost]

I think for £8 its pretty damn good. I’m 67, don’t have too many lines, and it’s a solid everyday foundation, with good lasting properties. Ive used it all week now in shade 21, yes it’s a bit too yellow for neutral so may try 25. It didn’t look too great over the liquid putty primer and was a bit pilly. But I’ve used it over Tula blurring skin base and now wet n wild 5 in 1 essence primer ( that’s so good) and its looks the best with that combo. Didn’t think it was patchy, cracky/caky or porey. Less is more i think. Have you tried the ELF power grip setting mist? Good CT dupe i think. Thanks for in depth review as always Gemma ❤❤❤❤

[@PamperedWolf]

The setting mist is in my dupes video from a few weeks ago. Xxx

[@pamkennedy5144]

I have tried the fair neutral and the light neutral. Neither match my skin tone. One is too light and one too dark. I plan to mix the two and see if that works. I do like the foundation. I am in my early 60s with normal skin type. Thanks for all of your reviews!!

[@juliejohns9361]

I bought the lightest cool shade. That was a huge mistake. I've reordered it in the next two cool shades up from that one. I like the way it wears and I have never had success with Elf's foundations/cc creams.

[@elizabethbrooker6672]

Will you be reviewing the CT UNREAL SKIN SHEER GLOW TINT HYDRATING FOUNDATION STICK

[@PamperedWolf]

I’m actually applying it right now. Review coming next week once I’ve worn it a few times and put it through its paces. It’s VERY glowy x

I tried this a few days ago it accentuated everything bad I’m 60 though I didn’t like it at all! I use is a tinted sunscreen

[@tracy8056]

How does this foundation work with dry skin? Thanks.

[@karenpage5674]

What is your best barely there makeup ?

[@cathymaas2406]

4 days for an Elf order?! Im in Canada and wait 3 weeks! Im dying to try this. I’ve got combo-on the oily side skin and work 12 hour shifts so I’m always looking for the unicorn complexion products.

[@marybonome9279]

I'm not a fan of Drugstore complexion makeup. Shades don't match, typically get a breakout, and they emphasize lines , texture and pores on my finicky mature skin. Ty Gemma..looks good on you!🎉🎉🎉

[@Nia435]

This is probably a stupid question, but what do you do with all the shades that are not a match? I think this is one of the reasons I am hesitant to try out different foundations and tinted moisturizers. I never know if I can return the ones that don’t match or do we just throw them away? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SammyG949]

I Mix them with all my other foundations even other brands to achieve the desired colour so I don’t waste my hard earned cash.👍🏻

[@lynngill9557]

What blush are you wearing

[@cleanqueen75]

It’s $8 here in the USA too. I think Walmart has it here.

Gemma I was wondering if you could review the Delilah foundation please, it's a British company and cruelty free . Pretty please lol x

[@PamperedWolf]

Not sure that review would be that popular. Delilah aren’t really on my radar. I’ll add it to my list though x

[@shannan34]

I was waiting on your review before I ran to target 😂

[@mariedyde448]

Great video. I notice you frequently app.y foundation to your eye lids. Do you have a product just for dark eye lids?

[@user-pt4df7so9i]

Maybe try liquid concealer on them?

[@littlevoice_11]

Hope you get an answer. A good base or concealer perhaps?

[@PamperedWolf]

I often use a foundation, or a concealer, or an eyelid primer x

[@ediedodson6902]

Me too!

[@littlevoice_11]

Any ELF undereye concealers that are creaseproof please?

[@herdlickpatty260]

Unfortunately, none that I have found 😢 None of them work for my 63 year old dark circle and fine line eyes 👀

[@heidilorincz1891]

Hi from Caledonia Ontario. As of now this product is not yet available here.

[@alisueblogs9029]

I'm not sure if you are aware that elf has a shade match guarantee and will refund online purchases if, within 30 days, you aren't happy with the match of the foundation shade you ordered. I believe that is in place for the UK where we can't normally return makeup unless it's faulty.

[@PamperedWolf]

I didn’t know this, thank you so much x

[@alisueblogs9029]

@PamperedWolf you need to scroll down all the information to find it on the individual product listing. It's for foundation, concealer and the halo glow. It applies to powder foundation but not face powders.

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

Apart from Revlon , there are no affordable foundations I like. They all sit on your skin like a mask. I think foundation is definitely worth investing in if you wear makeup most days.

[@cclarke9301]

The last foundation looked lovely. My biggest complaint is many Elf products are made in China.

[@PamperedWolf]

They are but they’re not tested on animals x

[@bluecurlygirl]

Because they're made in China they're not subjected to animal testing.

[@kkeegan32]

Packaging reminds me of BECCA. I wonder if it is a dupe?

[@jtidema]

Wait, the Flawless Satin is discontinued? I swear it's still on their site! That is my favorite!!! Tell me that isn't true!

[@PamperedWolf]

Don’t quote me on it, but most retailers only have a few shades now which often means it’s being phased out x

[@anitablanca5050]

It’s not bad,but my recent discovery is by Terry new foundation it’s AMAZING 😍

[@PamperedWolf]

I’m sure you’re not the only one. X

[@lanad75]

I absolutely hate this foundation. I have dry skin. It looks like makeup and too heavy and it doesn’t work even with their own ELF primer. It stays tacky and doesn’t sink in. It doesn’t even come close to any high end foundations. I also can’t stand that it’s a thick cream and it is difficult to apply it. I’m glad it worked for you but I’ll stay loyal to my Chanel because nothing compares.

[@PamperedWolf]

Sorry it didn’t work for you, although if you’re used to Chanel, I’m not surprised x
