A great dupe for another brand, the elf sunscreen blends into my skin well and provides a smooth base for my makeup. On days I don’t put on a face, it’s quick to apply and doesn’t leave behind a sticky mess. The whoa glow is even tinted, so no white ...

I am OBSESSED with this stuff. It’s my go-to for daily wear and is so much more lightweight than foundation, but also covers a multitude of skin problems. She’s a great base for a more casual face or a you can go full glam with her, too.
