My Review


Apart of my everyday routine

Antonea Portland, OR 7/23/2009

 

5 5

Pros: Good Value, Easy To Apply

Best Uses: Sensitive Skin, Dry Skin, Daily Use

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

Skin Tone: Fair

Age: 16-24

I love this powder!
I have dry skin with lots of redness and some blemishes. While this doesn't do anything for my blemishes, it counteracts a lot of redness!!! The only thing that covers more of my redness is my heavy foundation routine (that i don't like to do every day)
With this powder i can throw on some tinted moisturizer, this powder and some concealer and i feel ready to start my day.

I plan on purchasing 3 more of these once they are in stock again.

Thank you ELF

Pros: Blends Easily, Good Pigmentation, Long-Lasting, Versatile, Doesn't Appear Cakey, Easy To Apply, Looks Natural

Best Uses: Daytime, Hint of Color, Anytime, Nighttime

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

Skin Tone: Fair

I saw these and had to get the ALL!

Golden: Perfect for the lightest of skin tones you want a quick healthy glow. But also great for all skin tones as a light dusting for a bit of a shimmery glow.
Warm: Darker than Golden but still very wearable for even the lightest to the darkest skin tones. Lie the Golden, Dark skin tones will find this more to give a glowing highlight.
Cool: The Matte bronzer of the bunch is highly pigmented. Light skin tones can still benefit without looking obvious if you use a light hand. Could also be used to contour.

Golden is my favorite of the bunch that i have orn everyday since i received it. If you get all 3 and wear them together to create a dynamic look - you will be amazed. These are worth every single penny.
