I have dry sensitive skin. This powder is the best I have tried. Color is perfect. Wears great. Skin loves it. I have trouble with full coverage. This one works for me.
My daughter is normally into high end skin care and foundation but she has been using this elf powder and loves it she’s 25 and has normal oily in the T zone, and it looks beautiful she’s a nurse and finds her foundation holds up for her very busy 12 hour shifts! Cheers and love from Canada 🇨🇦
So many good suggestions, but because I think I’m a skin type/shade match and value your opinion so much - I’d love to see a version of “if I could only have one…” Also, loving the lilac hair vibes!
I still love the Maybelline Matte and Poreless pressed powder. I’ve finished a few compacts of it over the years. It’s probably less coverage, but it’s soooo nice. 👍
Yes! I had a few in the hopper that I didn't want to have them go back and change just for the outro but I now have instructions in to do the extended outro for future videos (I think I have a couple more to post that might have the shorter version but the long one will be here to stay soon!)
First off, that haircut is absolutely stunning on you! I love it! I may need to retry this powder. I love powder foundation, but didn’t like this one the first time. I think I got a color that was too light for me. You also have me wanting that Natasha Denona palette. That look is beautiful!
Hey Shelly, I am watching this video only a year later 😅. I recently pulled my Elf camo powder out from the depths of my closet and tried it with the Elf grip primer and what a difference that made for me! I am 62 with mixed skin but I need coverage for sun damage and all the living I have done. It looks fab and I am going back to this!
😂 I do prefer it as a setting powder weight rather than full on foundation if that helps dissuade you 😂 lol I was actually surprised its reviews are only 3 stars. It's a solid 4/5 in my book. It actually got me wearing powder again and I haven't been setting foundations since before the pandemic!
I think most people will be glad for my new routine. I've scaled it way back lol =D not for any reason other than laziness.... but it's still working so hey! Stroke of accidental time saving genius! 😂
Oooh yes please!! I was just going through your older vids looking for some skincare Vibes I'd previously missed, so that would be awesome of you.. Also, you look so content since your wee break away xx
I have the Heavenly Luxe brush from IT Cosmetics and really love it but just received my first BK Beauty brush (the foundation brush) and am in LOVE. I have the elf Camo Powder foundation but haven't tried it on my face yet. I thought I bought the right shade but they seem to run lighter than I thought from their website. I'll try it with the IT brush (until I get my next BK one!).
Love your foundation reviews! Are you still updating your spreadsheet? I watched the video on the Lancome Care and Glow but I wanted to see what grade you gave it compared with the original Teinte Idole and I can't find either of these Lancome foundations in your spreadsheet.
Oooh thank you Linda!!! I had to post the Lancome video while away from home on my laptop and forgot to go back and add it to the spreadsheet!! I'll get that updated today!
First, loved the video, as always ❤️ I've missed the Bare Minerals I used for 25 years, so I might give this a try. I've been really eying the Haus Labs, so would love to see a review on that!
It's on the way to me! I actually need to open a couple boxes - it might already be here lol. If it's here now I'll film it today and it'll be next Friday's video!
Hi Shelley I can't get a shade match in this one, but my long term favourite is the Laura Gellor balance n brighten. I don't use powder foundation as my main foundation, but instead use it to give a little extra coverage to a sheer/light coverage base, or to top up coverage on my nose and chin during the day. The balance n brighten works really well on my very dry skin for these purposes and the shade porcelain is a decent match for me. Best wishes.
ooooh that Laura Geller was a MASSIVE favorite of mine! I wonder if I have any left. I think I ran out and didn't repurchase for no reason other than having so much makeup. I've bought it multiple times though. I actually forgot about it. Hmmm now I want to dig it out or buy another!
I like this product.. although, the colors tend to be a bit too yellowey on me... I prefer the bare minerals bare pro skin perfecting powder as the colors are cooler for me- but for the price point, the ELF is a better deal for sure! Thanks Shelley!
I've worn this in combination with the Elta MD UV Elements spf 44, looked good. Provided coverage and didn't dry me out. There's an Essence powder I'd like to try, the ELF is my summer shade, and I'm not buying another one at this time. Thanks for your review, Shelly.
Powder foundation, my skin is way too dry I think for this. Less messy wish I could use. As it is a cheaper brand though I might give it a shot, if it doesn't work out I will use it on my nose where I have a wee bit of oil.
I'm glad to see the full wear test as a foundation because I've been so curious...I think its a pass for me at my decade-further-along than you (and I do mean decade even to the month, happy birthday to us!). I am very interested in a skincare update too.
Thanks, Kerry! I think the editors are getting into my flow :) I will have the outro music extended again soon - I had a few videos already in the hopper that they edited with the shorter ended that I won't bother to have them re-do, but future ones will have the longer outro music :) and then I think all will be right with the world! lol
I would love to see you do the one size powder foundation!! And the concealer!! I keep hearing the powder foundation works even for dry skin! And isn’t it crazy we now define time by “before the pandemic” 😅😂
I'm loving your Boo hairband! I really like the Elf Putty Primer with Vitamin C. I got a sample of it with an Elf order. Lisa's BK Beauty brushes are great. And the collaboration she did with Angie Hot N Flashy is great. You should definitely try her undereye concealer brush. It's the best. Congratulations, on your new lip products. I'll definitely have to check them out. I think if I was to try the Elf powder foundation, I'd definitely use it with a tinted moisturizer. Love your eye look. And your hair color is fantastic. Thanks, Shelly. How is Charlie adjusting to the other kitties, or should I say it the other way around! 😊😽😽😽💘
Would love your updated thoughts on the Laura Geller powder foundation balance & brighten since it's been a while since you've used it. I keep hearing it's the best thing ever from some and that it's awful after a few hours on from others. Can't decide if it's worth trying out
Oh yeah that does minimize pores, I like that you really zoom in, when TH-camrs say they're going to zoom in I'm always like really because I don't think they understand what that means but you do. What is your favorite primer, I know it's off topic but I'd like to know what one you recommend.
It’s like you’re psychic :) I have a video coming soon showing my favorite pore blurring primers up close vs none. But my faves are Wet n Wild Impossible primer, Elf putty primer, and StriVectin BlurFector.
Hi,foundation looks good on you.Does liquid foundation ever looks like a powder on your face?I have that every time i try a more coveragde foundation.Looks cakey .
Some matte foundations do look powdery on me. In that case I use a setting spray after I apply the rest of my makeup and sometimes that helps melt it all together.
I like it best as a light dusting over a tinted moisturizer. I wore it heavier here to test coverage but I typically wear it a little heavier than a setting powder but not quite foundation-level layering.
It's usually recommended for daytime use since its main benefit is fighting free radicals with antioxidants (so fighting the aggressors your skin encounters during the day). But I use it at night as well, as antioxidants can build up and offer some ongoing protection. Retinols I only use at night due to their tendency to make skin more sensitive to UV damage but Vitamin C I use primarily in the mornings and sometimes at night.
You look much younger than your age so whatever you are doing, keep doing 😂 updated skincare video please, I’m not big on skincare, I use very minimal products because it can get expensive!
Hey Shelly! Hearing your Ziva sing like a diva (like that, don't you?) makes me think maybe she stole your favorite brush! My cats always steal things off my vanity and I've learned where to go looking for these tools! Love your video today, I've had the product awhile but need to rotate it into my regimen and use it more often. Thanks for your energy! Superior focus! And great communication skills!
I have dry sensitive skin. This powder is the best I have tried. Color is perfect. Wears great. Skin loves it. I have trouble with full coverage. This one works for me.
Oh that's awesome I've got similar skin so that really helps 🙂 Thank you I'll need to try it out! 😃
Thank you for sharing!

I'm so glad to hear it works for oily skin too! I was surprised that it only has 3 stars on Ulta's reviews. I like it definitely at a 4 star level.
@@goow Ulta also sells four or five other powder foundations, so...
So many good suggestions, but because I think I’m a skin type/shade match and value your opinion so much - I’d love to see a version of “if I could only have one…” Also, loving the lilac hair vibes!
I still love the Maybelline Matte and Poreless pressed powder. I’ve finished a few compacts of it over the years. It’s probably less coverage, but it’s soooo nice. 👍
I have dry, mature skin and I think I will try this for a setting powder because I love the blurring effect this has! Thanks, Shelly!
I think it will work well that way! I am really surprised by how nicely this blurs.
HI Shelly!!!
Thanks Shelly! You brought back the original out-tro music! 🤗💕
Yes! I had a few in the hopper that I didn't want to have them go back and change just for the outro but I now have instructions in to do the extended outro for future videos (I think I have a couple more to post that might have the shorter version but the long one will be here to stay soon!)

You’re just the best!!!
GORGUOUS!!!
Been using this as a buffing powder at the end of makeup application. Enjoying it. Thanks for the full on foundation review of this.
I’ll have to try some buffing action. It’s so blurring!
Hey Shelly, I am watching this video only a year later 😅.

I am 62 with mixed skin but I need coverage for sun damage and all the living I have done. It looks fab and I am going back to this!
I need to do one of those "makeup I forgot about" videos!
Damn, you're the one person that could have swayed me to try this stuff. I was counting on you to slam it into the ground. But here we are....
😂 I do prefer it as a setting powder weight rather than full on foundation if that helps dissuade you 😂 lol I was actually surprised its reviews are only 3 stars. It's a solid 4/5 in my book. It actually got me wearing powder again and I haven't been setting foundations since before the pandemic!
Golly jingles I’ve been sooo sick and I’ve missed you!!!!
I hope you’re doing better!
Dying to see your new skincare routine. I was so happy to see you had a video up today. XOXO
I think most people will be glad for my new routine. I've scaled it way back lol =D not for any reason other than laziness.... but it's still working so hey! Stroke of accidental time saving genius! 😂
Oooh yes please!! I was just going through your older vids looking for some skincare Vibes I'd previously missed, so that would be awesome of you.. Also, you look so content since your wee break away xx
I absolutely love your hair! In my dreams I would have purple hair. 💜

Looks good! I have to use an prime oil with powder foundations. Works well. Love your hair.
I never thought of this, so thanks! 🥳

I think trying this over a lighter coverage liquid foundation is worth a go.
First, loved the video, as always ❤️ I've missed the Bare Minerals I used for 25 years, so I might give this a try. I've been really eying the Haus Labs, so would love to see a review on that!
I think one of the boxes that just got here should have the Haus Labs in it!
I'm super curious about the new foundation by Haus labs!!
It's on the way to me! I actually need to open a couple boxes - it might already be here lol. If it's here now I'll film it today and it'll be next Friday's video!

I will be posting it tonight!!!

I would love an update my skincare
Dry
I think you should try Essence 16hr pressed powder, everyone that likes this elf powder likes it more.
Have you or will you do a full face with Farmaci. Can’t get on Amazon and a beauty influencer
Thank you

w00t happy almost-birthday, Gale! I celebrate the whole month long 😂
Have you bought the new makeup forever powder foundation? I heard it’s good for dry mature skin! I’d love to see ur review
Not yet but their previous incarnation was one of the very few powders I could wear as foundation so I have high hopes for the new one!
Thanks for the review, Shelly. Your hair and makeup are lovely. I really liked the editing in this one, I thought it was great. 💖💖

It’s definitely the others tolerating Charlie 😹 she has buddied up with Ziva which warms my heart!!!
@@goow aww, how precious. When we adopted Wyatt last year, I thought Simon would rip him apart, but they're as thick as thieves!! Go figure! 😻😻
Love your videos! Could you try the newly reformulated Maybelline SUPERSTAY FULL COVERAGE POWDER FOUNDATION MAKEUP? Thanks!
Added to my list to buy! Thanks!!
Love your eyeshadow colours and lipstick. Really suits you 😍
Thanks, Janice!!
Ha! I laughed at the cat effect, very cute.
I’m so jealous of you that like this. I just cannot get a shade match. The ones around my skin tone are too neutral I guess? I just look flat. 😢
I have shades that do that to me and it is such a bummer!!!
Great video as always! Can you review the 16hr essence powder foundation?!

I love the ClarityRx brand! Their dose of water serum is amazing too; a little expensive though..
Oooh I’ll check out that serum! I don’t mind paying for things that work. My wallet might cry but I’ll be smiling! 😂

Some matte foundations do look powdery on me. In that case I use a setting spray after I apply the rest of my makeup and sometimes that helps melt it all together.

I like it best as a light dusting over a tinted moisturizer. I wore it heavier here to test coverage but I typically wear it a little heavier than a setting powder but not quite foundation-level layering.
Is vitamin C ok to be used in the day time? I only use it at night as I thought it would not work in the day.

Love your video today, I've had the product awhile but need to rotate it into my regimen and use it more often. Thanks for your energy! Superior focus! And great communication skills!
Ziva is famous for stealing my sponges especially 🤣
💜💕🌸
Girl, you do realize this powder foundation has been out around like a full year? 😅
I don't typically use powder foundation but had so many requests for this that I decided to review it.
It looks lovely. Your skin looks porcelain with this foundation
Your MUG looks fa b!!
