e.l.f. Personal Blend Foundation SPF 15

Hi all makeup addicts! Today I am going to talk about the e.l.f. Mineral Personal Blend Foundation SPF 15.  We all know that mineral makeups are good for our skin and it looks good on our skin. But all mineral cosmetics are more expensive than the non mineral cosmetics. If you want to try a mineral foundation, I recommend you start with the e.l.f Mineral Personal Blend Foundation SPF 15 as it is less expensive and a good mineral foundation. 

e.l.f. Personal Blend Foundation SPF 15

What the website says:

“Create customized mineral based color for a perfect match, year-round! Housed in a unique quad chamber for the perfect mix, the weightless mineral formulation blends seamlessly into skin and contains natural skin protecting SPF 15 and is mineral based with no parabens, preservatives or chemical dyes. Infused with key Vitamin E for rich antioxidants that hydrate and replenish the skin. The inner dial allows you to control the amount of product dispensed so you can create your customized color and keep the powder closed for clean and easy use everytime.”

I am in love with this foundation. I know it does not have great coverage but I don’t always need a heavy coverage make up. Specially when I want to look natural. I cover up my acne spots and dark circles with concealer and then apply this foundation with a kabuki brush. This foundation gives me a glow on my skin and it looks naturally healthy. I get lots of compliments when I apply this and most of the people think I have naturally beautiful skin. Haha…which I certainly don’t have.

Here are some main features on e.l.f Mineral Personal Blend Foundation SPF 15

• ·         $8, .28 oz
• ·         light to buildable coverage
• ·         Natural finish, not cakey. It makes my skin look healthy and gives an extra glow.
• ·         I used the medium shade of this foundation and I am around NC 42-44
• ·        Makes skin smooth. It looks like a second skin. Got lots of compliment on skin. Although for my acne spots I need to use concealer first.
• ·       Lasts for a good amount of time… about 6/7 hours in humid weather like Bangladesh and I have oily skin.
• ·         It has four shades of color in one tub. It can be mixed and matched with the foundation quad.
• ·      I use it with powder brush or kabuki brush. Use powder brush for extra coverage and kabuki brush for natural coverage
• ·        A little goes a long way. I am using my one for almost one and half years on an average twice a week and one third is still remaining.

You can find the names of the foundation shades at the bottom of the tub. If you like any particular shade of the foundation you can purchase it Here

Here are the procedures i use for applying it. 1. Tap out the product on the cap. 2. Mix it with the tail comb. 3. Nicely mixed product. 4. use it with my Kabuki brush (this amount is perfect for light coverage. 

Cons:

• ·         Troublesome to use on the go
• ·         If you are not used to powder foundation it will be a bit messy the first couple of times.
• ·       Need to tap few times to get enough products from the tub. I tap it on the cap and mix it with the back of a tail comb and then use a brush. That’s a bit of a long process
• ·         If you are looking for a full coverage foundation then this product is not for you
• 
  

Here are the pictures of the application:

Without any concealer. i have used here only the foundation on my moisturized skin. 1. My bare skin. 2. Light coverage with kabuki brush (most of the spots are gone. 3. medium coverage :)

This is how my skin looks like with only the foundation on, without any concealer.

I have used here M.A.C concealer (concealer review here), e.l.f. Personal Blend Foundation SPF 15, Kajal, elf blush and loreal lipstick

Hope my review helped! <3
