YOU Told Me To Try This Makeup...

"I feel like everyone's doing bronzing drops and to be honest like I haven't really gone into the bronzing drop world like I own a lot and I get scent a lot in PR this is a really nice color though I will say but it's just not something that I personally use often as a daily part of my routine"

I Tried YOUR #1 Makeup Right Now!! 😳

"Seems like it's a pretty nice sheer buildable formula. I like how light it is. [...] I really like the level of coverage this has. It's like pretty sheer but buildable, so it looks really fresh, and it's pairing with the balmy foundation very nicely."

Much needed life update 🤍 and a "mini" surprise 🤭

"The drugstore bronzer that I like the most this year was also from E.L.F., the Camo Bronzer. This is a nice bronzer. It's very heavily pigmented. So I recommend putting a little bit out on your hand to start. Then you can pick it up with your finger and dot it around your face. Put it wherever you want. Then you grab a brush and you can blend it in and it blends like a dream."

"I'm really in love with this e.l.f Halo glow Beauty wand Contour I love the shade on it I love how easy it is to use and apply"

THIS Foundation Is Crazy BAD & GOOD At The Same Time!!

"I got the lightest shade of this, so hopefully this will show up on my skin and not just be too light. And I also don't like it when they're too warm. This one is definitely not too warm. It's almost giving me gray, but maybe it'll look okay. It's nice and creamy. Seems to be going on well, but yes, definitely very gray looking. I don't really know if I want to use this. I just picked the wrong shade in this."

"I have tried the Drunk Elephant as well as the e.l.f. bronzer drops. And if I remember correctly, I think I like the e.l.f. ones better because they had more of a shade range."

After 8 Rounds of Five Below Skincare Dupes, they Need JAIL!

"I could have [...] a case for both, you know? Like, if you're like, I prefer this color anyway, and you can save yourself some money and get more product, go for the Five Below. But if you're like, I like this color better, go for the E.L.F."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
