e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation

This is the first foundation I’ve purchased from e.l.f.  I’ll be honest, I  wasn’t expecting much from a $6.00 foundation but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the product.  The foundation is described as oil-free, with SPF 15 and a semi-matte finish. I purchased this product for $3.00 during the 50% off sale.

First things first, I really liked the packaging. It has a pump applicator which I find to be much less messy and keeps me from wasting product.  The smell was a little off-putting for me, I hate alot of fragrance in my foundations, BUT it had excellent coverage while still feeling very light-weight.  The finish was a little dewy but i set it with a light sweep of powder and was very happy with the finished look.  I felt like it blended well and covered any spots I had on my face. My skin tends to be oily so I DID have to touch up with a powder once or twice, but I’ve yet to find a foundation that keeps me matte all day.  If I can get over the smell I will repurchase. I’m hoping after a day or two of wearing it I won’t notice it as much.

Update: Today is day 2, and I’m liking this foundation less and less. The smell is still bothering me and I feel like even with a primer my skin still ends up looking very shiny. All in all this foundation will probably not get used by me very often.
