Skin Care Blog Post - E.L.F Mineral Foundation Review

Don't you just love mineral foundation? They are so light on the skin, you feel like wearing nothing at all.

I was thrilled to find E.L.F Mineral Foundation during a recent Target trip. For only $5, I get the goodness of lightweight coverage in one little canister. 


But am I still thrilled after using it? Stay tuned.

 

E.L.F Mineral Foundation Review

E.L.F's Claim

• Our Weightless Mineral Foundation will help you achieve healthier illuminating skin.

My Take

• Weightlessness is -- no doubt -- good for the skin. However, nothing illuminated. In fact, I felt it washed it out a little.

E.L.F's Claim

• Infused with key Vitamin E for rich antioxidants that hydrate and replenish the skin.

My Take

• I have not used this product enough to see a change in the quality of my skin.
• However, so far skin does not feel dry after use.

E.L.F's Claim

• Our powder foundations blend naturally into the skin, and are so light that they work with your skin color to create a perfect color match.

My Take

• The foundation was truly lightweight. Almost featherweight. Therefore, having my natural color come through was not a surprise. 

Likes

• Lightweight powder felt natural and comfortable on the skin.
• Powder brush was easy and fun to use.
• The product is suitable for daytime use.

Dislikes

• Well, this mineral powder lacks coverage. I could barely see that I have it on, which isn't good because I have blemishes and spots to conceal. 
• Product lacks variety in color. I bought "beige," but it appeared too light for the skin.
• In fact, I looked washed out.

Overall Rating

• 2/5

Repurchase?

• No thanks!
