I will say before I write much more that I don't suffer from Acne but after hearing great reviews from friends I decided this was worth grabbing as its so affordable and I love it. I love how this foundation just glides on and such a little amount gives such a good coverage. I would say medium to full coverage. the lasting power on this foundation is awesome I wore it for a good 8 hour day and gym ontop of that and got home and it was still looking great. overall I think this is deffinatly worth a shot and for the price you cant go wrong.

Absolutely love the value for money with this foundation! Purchased from e.l.f website for only $3!!! What a bargain!
The finish was wonderful, and the coverage was fantastic, I don't particuly suffer with acne so haven't noticed any difference there but very impressed with this product :)
This foundation really does offer full coverage, you could probably wing this without using a concealer. I don't agree with it being light, it's pretty heavy and I always have to set it with powder to soften it so it doesn't look like I applied 5 layers of foundation. I use it in the shade beige and I like using it if I am having a breakout because it helps a lot with not aggravating the acne and the salicylic acid helps with healing of the acne so the ingredients are good for the skin.
There is a fair amount of product in the packaging especially in comparison with the price, I paid $3 on the american elf site and had a friend bring it over with her from her travels. The packaging is a little squeeze tube and the consistency is not runny so you don't tend to waste a lot of product.
It's quite heavy coverage so I leave this for really bad skin days.
Purchased this in the shade Buff from the ELF website, unfortunately the colour s a bit too dark for me so would be more of a summer/self-tan colour. Apart from that I was very impressed with the coverage and the fact that a little goes such a long way. I do not have acne prone skin but I prefer a high coverage due to redness/freckles and found I only needed one layer to hide all my imperfections
Tips: Use a good primer as I found it was a bit drying on my skin and wasn't blending too well, but with adding a bit more moisture this problem was resolved
I had seen this being talked about all over the show and decided I needed to see what the fuss was about. I would liken this to my clinique anti blemish foundation on a very minimal budget scale. It was cheap which I love but definitely was not nice on my sensitive skin. I found it very greasy looking and the colours weren't easy to match to my very snow white skin. I use this as a base every so often to use it up but feel I dont love it like I should.
Tips: Cheap enough to try but hard to match for pale skined beauties.
This is one of my newest additions to foundations in the last few months and it's definitely a great one that I use if not using bb cream, with a primer, then foundation, powder and setting spray it seems to last all day and covers blemishes. Doesn't give me breaks out like a lot of foundations do while it's on my face and comes off nicely too, anything that lasts when I mow the lawns in hot weather gets my approval at the end of the day lol.
Wow I've finally found a great foundation! I suffer from rosacia and this thick formula has such a great coverage hiding all my redness and any blemishes I may have. It is so easy to apply and definitely lasts right through the day. I even did some exercising with it on one day and it lasted through that. Packaging is very simple but for a $8 foundation which works so well I don't care at all. I have used all sorts of foundations before such as Revlon colour stay and estee lauder double wear which are very highly rated products and I put this elf foundation right up there with them. That's how good I've found it. I am recommending this to everyone.
After Shaaanxo used this in one of her tutorials I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm glad I did! This is a lightweight, light-medium coverage, my skin feels like it can breathe with this foundation on. It is easy to apply and I find it does last all day. Only downside is the colour range isn't that great so I have to mix two shades to get my perfect colour - but not too big of an issue considering how inexpensive the product is.
I can't really speak for the 'acne fighting' component of this foundation as my skin isn't acne prone, but I do get compliments on my skin every time I where this foundation!
I brought this product with high hopes, but when i applied the foundation it left mu skin very dry looking, but it did evenly cover my blemishes but not my freckles :( over all i would use this product but only with my face being very moisturised !!
Love this foundation! Medium - full coverage which I was expecting due to it being an acne foundation. It covers all my redness (with help from green concealer) but still looks lovely on the skin. Haven't noticed it 'fighting' any acne at all but I don't care about that. Extremely recommend this foundation! I will be re-purchasing and re-purchasing. Also, Shaaanxo did a first impression of this product which you should all check out because its exactly how this works!
Tips: I recommend getting 2 colours and mixing them together to get the est colour for your face. Also use a beauty blender for best coverage :)
