My full face go to brand!
Hey beauties! When I think full face makeup I think wow! That is a lot of stuff to put on my face! I also think how much will this all cost??? Well...e.l.f. cosmetics is a premium, high quality, and very affordable beauty brand! Of course I have used other foundations here and there, but elf has been my go to for flawless full face makeup.
Believe it or not, I only started using foundation about two years ago when I got engaged and started with e.l.f.. I knew that to look great in wedding photos I needed to wear an amazing foundation. As affordable as this brand is, one would think the quality wouldn't be up to par to some of the other big brands...wrong!!! e.l.f. cosmetics is just as good as some of the other high ends and is half the cost!
My go to full face product list is as follows:
e.l.f. Daily Hydration Moisturizer $8
e.l.f. Mineral Infused Face Primer $6
e.l.f. Pro Eyeshadow Primer $4
e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation $6
e.l.f. HD Lifting Concealer $3
e.l.f. High Definition Powder(translucent) $6
e.l.f. Aqua Beauty Blush/Bronzer(Bronzed Violet) $6
e.l.f. Baked Highlighter(Moonlight Pearls) $3

I usually apply mosturizer before I put anything else on my face, followed by face primer(I prefer e.l.f. over Smashbox!) and eyeshadow primer. Then I work on my eyes. I never paint my face before I use eyeshadow due to fall out. Once I'm done with my eyes, I then use a blender or my oval brush to apply foundation. I have also used e.l.f. cosmetic's Beautifully Precise Airbrush Blender which is amazing!($10) After foundation, I conceal my under eyes and set the concealer with powder. Last, I bronze my face, add blush, and clean up the bronzer with powder. Setting spray is key to keeping your look fresh all day! e.l.f. has one for $3 which works well, but I prefer Mario Badescu's facial sprays.($7-$12) I hope you find this info to be helpful! Any other questions/concerns can be emailed...I'd be happy to help!
