The struggle to shade match, be budget friendly, and maintain healthy skin is real, especially for women of color. Elf has expanded its shade range and coverage options to be more inclusive without needing a loan!
The buildable blushes are my favorites. They are easy to apply but still have enough pigment that you don't need a ton to get the job done. (That's a bar!)
Camo Liquid Blush | e.l.f. Cosmetics
This foundation is cream based. I do set this with a powder because I have oily skin. But I still love the coverage and that it is easily blended and buildable.
Soft Glam Satin Foundation
Great for a summer time glow that isn't overpowering. I use this on my collarbone if they are out and on my cheeks for a nice summer glow!
Bronzing Drops
You already know this is legit the best setting spray. I use it in layers when I need my makeup to be heavier for filming days.
Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
Rivals the Tartelete tubbing mascara! It lasts all day. Doesn't smudge and slides off when you wash your face! No damage to lashes!
Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Elf Camo concealer is my go-to for most of my looks. I put it under my eyes and between my eyebrows to brighten my face. (Hack) Dab a little setting powder on with this when you blend it out to prevent creasing!
16-Hour Camo Full Coverage Concealer | e.l.f. Cosmetics
She is that girl! If you are more acne prone - grab this! I only put it under my eye, on my forehead and on my chin - places that tend to crease. Hack - let it dry COMPLETELY before applying products on top! (Note) Don't put it on your nose if you ha...
Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide | e.l.f. Cosmetics
A cute sheer pop of color and hydration. These are great with a nice lipliner underneath.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil | e.l.f. Cosmetics
A good alternative to the Camo concealer if you want to have a heavier coverage. I use this when my skin has more of an attitude and I need more coverage.
Matte Putty Primer | e.l.f. Cosmetics
You have to work quick with this and once it's on, it's not moving so practice or use a stencil. It's the only liner I use for real!
E.l.f. Expert Liquid Liner
These look beautiful layered with a brown lipliner. They are on par with the NYX fat oils. These aren't sticky but they will smear. They are hydrating and great for every day wear.
Lip Gloss, Lip Oil and Lip Stain | e.l.f. Cosmetics
The putty primer is so smooth and great for oily skin girlies. It has great coverage and you don't need a bunch.
Poreless Putty Face Primer | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I love this for a smooth less shiny finish. It had medium coverage but layers well and works well with other products.
