E. L. F. PRODUCTS

Leelynn — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 02:28:03 GMT

Has anyone tried this brand? In particular, the foundation for acne control. I still get a few breakouts so for years I've used Clinique acne foundation. Been reading good things about ELF and it is less expensive.

Scott Barns developed this company, he use to sell on the Q. He was once makeup artist for the K-dash family. And yes they are good products for a good price.

Their products are made in China - NO thanks.

Love the blushes and bronzers. My favorite bronze eye shadow crayon too ! ( I have a stash of 10 at a cost of $20.)

Leelynn, I watched a youtube video that touted the Elf foundation for acne. I don't have acne anymore, but the girl raved about it so much-how well is covered-that I ordered it. A few days after I ordered it, they got it in at my Target for the first time!. Anyway,the Elf foundation did NOT work for me at all. Of course, I am 30 years older than the girl on the video plus I have dry mature skin. It was cakey and did not blend well. Can't say what it will do for you. Try to find it at your local Target and if it doesn"t work, you can take it back.

I've never used their products, but some of their brushes are nice. For the price, give it a try.

I like and use their eye lid primer as well as a few other things.

I use this foundations frequently (w/ oily skin) and it's a very pretty finish for me. I do powder over it. It's not perfect, but i don't think there is a perfect one. Their brushes are VERY nice. I love the prices and the quality is pretty good!

I haven't tried the foundation, but the blush and bronzer are very good for the price. Eyeshadows not good.

They have some good stuff and they have a lot of junk. Target sells it in their store. I LOVE their eyelash curler.

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm 54 and don't really have what you would call acne, but every now and then, I'll get a bump or two on the lower part of my face....hormonal, I'm sure. I'll try it and as suggested, take it back if it doesn't work.

I really enjoy some of ELF's products. I like several of their brushes which work fine for my purposes. They had a cream blush in a large jar that isn't offered now. I still have a ton left and it's the most beautiful natural color that doesn't fade- on par with Nars. I apply with a stippling brush by ELF.

If they ever bring that back I'd highly recommend.

The limited ELF foundation / tinted moisturizer experience wasn't good & wouldn't waste my time there or with their eye shadow. The $1 & $2 eye brushes can come in handy when you're working with light and darker shadows and don't want to wash your good brushes all the time.

I'll echo, a few surprisingly great products in the midst of mediocre.

Sorry. That wasn't very helpful. You never know until you try. That acne control foundation could be great. They do come out with surprisingly good products now & then. Good luck!

I like this too, and the mascara primer, and brow gel that looks like a mascara.

I believe it was Scott Borba.

Shelbelle, you are correct. It is Scott Borba who is the developer...
