Mixed or Yay?

Mixed
The E.L.F. Soft Glam Satin Foundation is [...] very lightweight, very forgiving on fine lines, and has a nice glow. But it says longlasting and I wouldn't agree, though I've tested it in 34 to 35 degree weather without air conditioning, so maybe it holds up better when I'm not sweating from head to toe all day.

Yay
I was really surprised with this one. This is fragrance-free, no denatured alcohol. It contains niacinamide, excellent value, strong deep shade range. My verdict is it's the best budget foundation for acne-prone skin of color. Buy it.

These two are not the only voices on e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Foundation. Across every independent expert take we hold, it carries a Guru Score of 91% from 8 experts, which is the share of them who approved it. The other 6 experts we hold takes from are counted in it too. See every take on it →

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
