    Someone wrote a comment on another video about this foundation concerning her experience with e.l.f. and their shade match guarantee. She said they didn't require her to return the wrong shade, refunded her $ in minutes, and sent out the other shade she wanted. Sounds good to me!

    • @jenniferschauer5759
      @jenniferschauer5759 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I can validate that this is true. The original shade I bought was too yellow. They refunded my purchase and I reordered in a cooler shade. That was a tad light. So I mixed the 2 and got the perfect match. I think this foundation runs warmish (yellow) based on a what I’ve heard and seen. My point is elf has great customer service.

    We must be house twinsies. Just replaced all my plumbing too. Luckily only took them about a day and half. Similar cost $13000 ish. Also had them replace the 4 hose bibs. We had the original galvanized steel from when the house was built in the 70's. The dry wall guy is coming today to repair all the holes in the walls and ceiling that they had to make to get to the pipes. Next project is to enclose my patio into a sun room. The contractor has ordered the windows, so just waiting on the project to start. Hi Zeva!!

      It sounds like we have the same house plans! lol We need to get a drywall guy out, though thankfully the plumbers cut fewer holes than they originally thought they'd have to. Next here is replacing the deck and hopefully adding a screened-in gazebo or sun room.

    I got the Shade 10 Fair Cool and 11 Fair Neutral 11 was a smidge to yellow on my super pale Cool to Neutral undertones but was overall pretty perfect I haven't tried Shade 10 fair Cool yet but i can't wait to see how It'll match my super pale skin tone its one of the few foundations that doesn't irritate my skin at all and doesn't enhance my dry textured skin plus it wears amazingly well so far and is so comfortable to wear and i have the worlds worsr allergies so om constantly blowing my nose and my wyes never stop watering i have dry textured super sensitive skin and I'm 30 years old now

      @goow you're so welcome the shade you tried looked pretty good maybe try Shade 13 Fair Cool it's the second to lightest Fair Cool shade it would be a tad to dark on me and I personally prefer to enhance my natural palette skin so I prefer my makeup a bit lighter but it might be a good summer shade for me for summers I'm actually out I'm the sun I'm usually mostly out late in the day and at night the sun and heat tend to drain me and make me sick

    I just tried this last week and I absolutely love it!! Not only does it have my exact match (extremely rare with my very pale skin!), but it’s incredibly skin-like, doesn’t irritate my skin, wears well, doesn’t emphasize pores, texture, flaky skin areas; and is actually comfortable to wear! I’ve never found a foundation that actually works for me like this! I can wear it sheered out like a bb cream and it just looks like my skin, or I can wear more full glam and it still just looks so good. I honestly can’t say enough about it!

    I’ve been using their Flawless Satin Foundation line for years, and the last time I shopped it was really hard to find, and I was afraid it was being discontinued. So much of what you said about this new foundation is what I loved about the other one, especially the wear time! Today I had my face done by 4:30am and just now took it off at 8:30pm, but it still looked pretty good! Ya can’t beat that for $6!

      @Holly-lz7dm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven't tried this foundation or the $6 version but from what I have heard the older version has about 2/3 of an ounce and this is a full ounce for $8. Seems like the price is comparable. The older version had limited shades and a glass bottle. I know glass is better for the environment but this plastic container takes up less room. I hope to try this soon. $8 seems pretty good compared to the insane prices at Sephora.

    From my screen this looked really good on you, even the shade suited despite the huge difference from your swatches of your usual matches.

      Appreciate this comment. Gives me a possible reference. I have been using a Korean foundation that has to be ordered online. I want the convenience of local shopping and affordable prices. Fingers crossed that ELF has a pale, neutral, olive. The issues that I have with color matching could be solved. Being able to return a product at a local store, if it doesn't match, would be amazing

    I was wondering what shade you were going to pick. I usually go just a little lighter than you do. I got 13 neutral first. It was pretty good but wanted something just a bit darker. Was afraid 14C might still be too light so I jumped to 20C. Just a touch dark but I’m going to try combining them. Like you said, $8! Can try different shades easily.

    Well I have to say that this foundation will not stay on my nose and I don't blow it I don't touch it it just wears off my nose I've tried it two days now both times with primer. I really don't know what else to do I've even added concealer on my nose as extra coverage and it still wears off. So for me I don't think it's going to be working still looking for that perfect Foundation going back to my CC cream until I find another one that is more affordable. I did however order from QVC last night the tarte powder foundation hoping that will work that would be a nice thing for the summer so anyways great video glad your plumbing is all done and happy showering

      Thanks to Camille Cowher, I've learned to dab setting spray with a sponge all over my nose, after SPF but before foundation, then use the sponge to dab on your foundation, then use the sponge sprayed with setting spray on a different side, with powder to set. No primer. Just SPF, foundation and powder. Then be sure to do an overall spray with setting spray when you're done with all your makeup. Works great - no polka dot pores, no Rudolph red nose, no broken capillaries or oil slick peeking thru. Thanks, and watch Camille Cowher once in a while!

It does work better for me and my dry skin if I use the MAC hydrating fix + first. Cannot beat the price tag! I never wear my foundation for hours on end, so I’m fine with it! Not my favorite base product, but it is somewhere in the middle of the road! I wonder what it would look like with a glow product underneath? Ziva is just so happy hanging with Mom! 👍🏽

    • @goow
      @goow  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a tough one because nothing is quite the same that I've tried! I'd say its best features were excellent blurring and smoothing, with a hydrating dewy finish. So by those standards, I think in the drugstore realm the L'Oreal True Match Nude is probably closest. The Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator is similar but a little higher coverage I'd say. The Haus Lab Triclone foundation is probably closest in non-drugstore, or NARS Light Reflecting or Polite Society. I even googled to see if the internet had any better suggestions and it's a whole lot of people saying there's nothing that is quite a dupe! I agree unfortunately. But you can get similar good qualities. They nailed some tough shades too in that Nyx line so if you were one of the shades that doesn't compare to other brands, that's a tough one too :(

    Hi, Shelly. New subscriber here. Love your reviews and your cat (I’ve seen only one but read you have others). I have 7, all rescues. I was so hesitant to try this ELF Foundation because, like you, I’ve had issues with the brand in the past. This one - OMG! I’m in love - and for $8! I have many higher end foundations but this one performs as well, if not better, than many of them. Once you get your shade down, which is a real challenge when buying online, it doesn’t disappoint. It lasted a full 8 hours for me and looked flawless. I’m so happy to have found your channel. So much fun!

    I think the ppl singing this stuff praises r getting a kick back. I tried it and threw it out the same day. It caked. It went in every pour. It was sticky like glue even after trying to get it off with a face scrub 3 times. First the color itself was OK buttttt It turned like yellow after 15 min and looked like chalk... With that yellow tint. I literally looked like I had passed on and had been left sitting a few days. It was theee single worst foundation I have ever used. Wet and wild and revlon and max factor r so so much better.

      🤣 I wish I was getting a kickback! I don't even get Elf PR! 🤣 I do the no-filter zoom-in and outdoor lighting to show you exactly what it looks like on my face. It works well for me. I'm sorry it didn't work for you. But just because we have different body chemistries and different products work differently on us doesn't mean either of us is dishonest (or hiding kickbacks, as you've stated).

      My favorite in the resort here is the Campfire Grill. Resort prices of course but I've never had a bad meal or drink there (and I eat there probably twice a month). Right across Route 33 from Massanutten is Thirsty's Burgers which is tasty. Romanos and Ciros (McGaheysville and Elkton) are both good locally for Italian, and I also like Santa Fe Mexican Grill (McGaheysville). All of those are within 5 mins or so of Massanutten. The best food though is in Harrisonburg, about 20 minutes up 33. My faves are Vito's, Bella Luna, Beyond, Capital Waffles, Jimmy Madison's, Clementine, Golden Pony, Mashita, Xenia Grill, Taste of Thai, Cuban Burger... I think that's it :) 🤣🤣🤣

    Thank you

    • @goow
      @goow  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Chrissy! I wear primer pretty regularly (often in reviews too - very few foundations look good on me without it. I rotate a bunch of them - Wet n Wild Impossible Primer, Elf putty, Caliray). I almost never wear setting spray unless I'm going to a wedding or a long-time event (couple times a year maybe?) and I only wear powder if a foundation is staying too tacky or needs extra smoothing - so maybe 1 out of every 10 times I put makeup on? That might even be too much. Powders tend to dry me out faster but the new-ish Jones Road doesn't dry me out so I've been using that every so often. But generally I'm not a powder-wearer either.

      Hi, Laura. I think I've figured out what is going on. Companies have decided that peach is a cool tone and so everything is too warm for those of us who have truly cool-toned skin. Walk through Sephora and everything is tinged yellow. Someone said that drugstore is more pink and I tend to find better shade matches there. Why do we want to be a nation of Simpson's characters, I ask you, lol?
