Elizabeth ArdenFlawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup

Well I'm astounded how flawless my face looks. So creamy and light. Toast beige suited my medium skin perfectly and there was no smears with minimum blending. Chuffed to bits.

Use this a lot. Pretty good product, light but decent coverage, ideal for day wear. Lasts a while.

For years I've been looking at this foundation and have always baulked at the price (I can be a bit of a cheap skate lol) and haven't bought it. I used the same No7 foundation for years until they took it off the market 20 years ago, showing my age there ahem so I have been searching for a long time for a good foundation and have bought a LOT over the years. They were never quite right, some too dark, some way too light, some too drying etc etc. It was complicated by the fact I'm a redhead with very pale but not the palest shade so the lightest foundation made me look like a ghost the darker shade was too dark, even in the summer. So finally I took the plunge and bought this about 2 months ago and I'm in love with it and I can't even articulate how much! I bought Vanilla Shell and its light but not ghost pale!It can be used in two ways, with a dry sponge and with a damp sponge. I've tried both and think I prefer it when I use a damp sponge, it covers all the imperfections without looking like I've foundation on. I can then go in and use a dabbing motion on the problem areas and push the product on to/into them. It is the first foundation I've EVER owned that actually minimises my pores without having to use my Benefit pore minimiser so that's a huge plus in my eyes. I have twin high colour spots below my eyes and used to have to put on a good bit of concealer before a foundation to cover it but this foundation does that on its own but leaves a bit of colour so it looks like a gentle blush. (I don't colour correct, they're not that bad and I don't want to pile a ton of product on my face).In 2 months of almost daily use I've barely scratched the surface of the foundation so I think it's going to last a long time.All in all if you are on fence about buying it, just go for it! It won't change your life, its a foundation after all 😉 but it was pretty darn close!

Item itself fine. But is much darker than expected when applied to skin!

Colour, blendability, skin type

I've been using this foundation for years , it leaves my skin glowing and I can layer it if I want more coverage , I usually use honey beige but purchased the toasty beige for my tanned face , perfect shade for me.

Too lovely for any words, in the English language. Highly recommended.Absolutely flawless.

I've used this foundation on and off for years,I do personally think it's lovely it goes on nice and smooth it lasts me all day long and I don't need to pay extra for a setting powder so in the long run it does save me money .I love most things Elizabeth Arden.One of these compact foundations normally lasts me around 3 to 3 months I do use most day's.My package arrived very quickly come's in a box it as two levels the top with the foundation and underneath a foam pad to apply the foundation.I use a foundation brush and a damp beauty sponge which I find works better for me as I felt I had to change the application pad way to often.However beautiful product 👌 which I love and will continue to use.
