ELF Two way cake foundation in BeigePRODUCT INFO from box:
This dual foundation can be used wet for a creamy full coverage or dry for a sheer coverage. The SPF 15 formula combats premature aging and protects against sun damage. The easy to blend lightweight formula is great for all skin types and gives a natural looking finish for all day wear.APPLICATION TIPS : Apply prior to sun exposure. For a sheer coverage, use the sponge dry. For a fuller coverage, dampen then the sponge applicator with water to apply the powder wet.
Note : I edited the description and application tips coz they interchanged some info on the box. It was indicated to use the a wet sponge for a sheer coverage and dry for a full coverage =P
RETAIL PRICE: Php 250 (about $5)
WEIGHT : 8.5 grams / 0.3 oz.
SHADES : Available in 4 shades. I got the BEIGE shade - it matches my NC20-25 skintone.
* Sorry I forgot the other shade names. I tried to search online but can't find any info.
WHAT I LIKE:* Sorry I forgot the other shade names. I tried to search online but can't find any info.
* it has spf 15
* i'm surprised that the powder is finely milled!
* no makeup scent
* very smooth finish when applied
* inexpensive
* compact has a separate sponge compartment like MAC Studio fix.
* no allergies or irritations
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* compact made of cheap plastic (but it doesn't bother me that much, as long as the product works!
* the sponge provided is made of latex? it smells bad hehe. Make sure to wash it first before using.
TIPS:
Use blotting paper/tissue first to absorb the oil on your face before retouching, and to prevent your makeup from caking. Wash the sponge frequently and replace it when it starts to crumble.
You can also use a Powder brush to apply this if you want to a sheer coverage or a Flat top brush for a medium coverage.
ADDICTION FACTOR:
Will definitely repurchase!
RATING :
4 out of 5.

khymm yellow undetone ba siya??
cool! kaso wala naman samin dito niyan..hehe
interesting! that's a great product for such coverage! :)
Oooo I didn't know ELF had two way cake! I buy through sprees from their US website, and no two way cake there :(
do you have acne problems at all?? im actually searching for some inexpensive powders to try out but I am always worried because my skin is really acne prone!!
@ Lisa J- i think its from the studio line based on the packaging.
@shobe - the beige color has a slight yellow undertone, while the next darker shade, its for NC30 skintones I think with more yellow undertones.
@electronicfly - tried to search ELF's site but I can't find this product too..
@pankeke - have you tried Pigeon pressed powders? They're hypoallergenic (made for babies), maybe it will work for you.
looks promising! i might check this out the next time i go to their counter. thanks for the review khymm! :)
Wow! Another grat stuff by ELF! Sounds so good!
