I was lucky enough to be picked by BR to review this foundation on a trial team. First impressions of this were good. The packaging is beautiful and the weight of the compact makes it feel expensive. It's an easy open and shut compact and has two levels to house the product and sponge. It's gold and shiny and has the iconic Elizabeth Arden red door on the front. The product has a very creamy texture and does give really good coverage. The first time I applied it I used the sponge that comes with the product and I found it quite patchy and uneven. This speaks more to my lack of skills using a sponge than it does the product. On the subsequent applications I used a stippling brush (that I would usually use to apply liquid foundation) and got great results. I didn't need to use much product at all and got really even, full coverage. It really did improve the appearance of my skin and made this tired mum look amazing! I used a Stila primer underneath the foundation as I always use one and did my usual routine of using a translucent powder to set it. The foundation lasted all day on some quite warm days too. It resisted melting off and felt quite comfortable to wear even when it was warm. I really enjoyed using this foundation and will continue to use it. It gives such good coverage and creates the perfect base for the rest of your makeup look.

Tips: If you are inexperienced with a sponge and can't get good application try a brush or what you would usually use to apply it, you may get much better results like I did!
Presented in a stylish signature Elizabeth Arden red door gold compact, this foundation is a fantastic addition to any makeup essentials kit. With its compact size, built in mirror and included sponge applicator, it is also perfect to pop in your purse for those on the go touch ups.
The cream formula is silky in texture, and glides on easily. Most importantly it blends beautifully to leave your skin looking natural and flawless. The colour and coverage that this foundation provided was fantastic, and really is my favourite foundation to date. It was light on my skin while still providing the level of coverage required.
I found the foundation to deliver on its promise of a flawless finish. It really evened out my skin tone, covered those problem areas, and diminished the look of fine lines. It also lasted throughout the day without diminishing or becoming cakey.
I will definitely be using this foundation again, and recommend it to everyone.
Tips: Apply a light layer to begin with, and then build from there for desired coverage, blending well.
I was intrigued with this trial product. I'd never used a cream foundation before and nor have I used a product from the iconic Elizabeth Arden brand. The colour I chose was Beige.
When it came I admit to being a bit apprehensive. The colour of the product in the pan looked very Donald Trump bronze rather than beige however readers do not let this fool you.
The product comes in a gorgeous red and gold two layer compact with the iconic red door on the lid. It screams luxury. It also comes with an applicator sponge and can be used wet or dry.
Appearances can be deceiving however, when I applied it it was a perfect match for my skin. I applied it with a damp sponge and it glided on smoothly and gave me a light but full coverage with a dewy finish.
I loved how the application was so easy. You can apply it dry but this didn't work so well for me and I did try it with a brush and also a beauty blender but ultimately the sponge that came with the product was the best.
While wearing it I have had 3 people comment on how amazing my skin looks so this is a keeper for my and I will almost certainly repurchase when i've finished it.
The price is representative of a luxury brand but it is actually cheaper than the current foundation that I use, I think this will last longer as well, so per use is probably better value.
Tips: Go and try it, but get yourself colour matched in store. If you feel the price tag is a bit high, just wait until Farmers have a beauty sale and go grab one. You won't regret it.
I was very lucky to trial this product and very satisfied with the product. I found the consistency of the cream nice and smooth to sponge on. Easy to use, I tryed it dry and it covered my face really nice, and also tryed it with a damp sponge which was also a nice coverage. I found I didn't have to use that much to get a nice even tone on my face. It doesn't have a fragrance which is good , no nasty smell. This product for me does last all day like it states on the packaging. I like the look of the compact easy to have in your make up bag.Has a good mirror on it and a good space for the sponge to fit. I think this product will last me a bit longer than a month , I think it is definitely worth the price. I definitely noticed the results after trialing this , it's very affected compared to other products I've used. I would totally recommend this to everyone looking for a good Flawless finish cream.
Tips: Buy this product :)
