As most of you know, I hauled a TON of ELF makeup a few months ago! I think that it has been a decent amount of time to test out the foundation I bought and tell you what I think about it. I know I used it in my last tutorial but I didn't tell you in depth what I think about it!
I bought this foundation in the color "Porcelain" for $6 which seems a bit pricey for ELF but in terms of drugstore prices, it's a pretty good deal for a medium-full coverage foundation. Also, the color Porcelain isn't a porcelain shade at all..much more of a "light" shade.
As I said I bought the color Porcelain which has a very yellow undertone, comments from other ELF lovers have told me that shades darker than this one are very orange and just get worse the deeper the foundation shade is, so be aware of that if you want to try this foundation.
That being said, the yellow undertone of Porcelain works well for my skin tone! The coverage of this foundation is really good! One light base layer covers up a ton of my dark spots and undereye circles. As I said it is buildable, so another thin layer covers whats left of my dark spots without needing any concealer!
There are two ways I apply this foundation, depending on how much time I have. One way is to just use my fingers, dot it on my face and blend it in. The other is to pump the product onto the back of my hand, take some on a dense brush and buffer it in using circular motions. The "powder brush" from their studio line works very well! Also, if I don't like how it's applying on a particular day, I'll use a combo of these two methods, apply with my hands and blend with the brush.
The wear of this foundation is also very good, no matter how I apply it! I've worn it on days that I know are going to be LONG and it looks just as good as it did as it did 5 seconds after I applied it that morning! It doesn't oxidize or anything which I'm amazed at. When I first tried this foundation, I thought for sure it would oxidize, can't remember why now but....yeah.
Overall, I am in love with this foundation over any drugstore one I've tried. It doesn't cling to my dry patches, crease in my undereye area or make my pores look huge! If it wasn't already obvious, I highly recommend this product! This is how my face looks before with nothing on my face and after with one layer of product and nothing else on my face:

Oh this looks so good on you. I will definitely give it a go and the fact that it is too yellow toned is awesome because I am a very yellow toned girl. Great review:)
