Elizabeth ArdenFlawless Finish Sponge On Cream Makeup Gentle - Beige

I, like many other users, have gone back to this cream make up, after a few years of not using it. I think that the trend of mineral make up, or the dewey effect glowing look, has run it's course. The whole ritual of preparing your face, applying and blending foundation, then powder etc., is time consuming and expensive. Believe me, I have tried it all. This make up is not rated amongst the best but a lot of the people who are online promoting the newest and usually, most expensive products, are sponsored. Or are about twelve years old with perfect skin. The price for this in the shops ranks it expensive but it is a lot less expensive on Amazon. Recently they have changed the formula and added a bit of sparkle and are now presenting it in a gold case. Yes, and it costs twice the price. I'm not sure if adding sparkling powder will spoil it's natural effect. If l want a sparkle l will add it myself. I apply the foundation over a primer using a special foundation brush. I want a natural look but not caked or dry. I apply as you do mineral powder using stippling then gentle circular strokes. It gives a nice natural look. If you apply heavily it can look caked. Use a colour as close to your own for a natural effect. One thing l dislike is the fact that you cannot find a description of the colours. Example if light beige is above beige. Come on Elizabeth Arden, get your act together, most people are buying online now. Their colour charts are not good enough. I have light beige and honey beige and mix the two. My skin is slightly darker than light beige. Honey beige is used for touching up. The case and the mirror are good quality, the mirror is big enough to use unlike some other compact mirrors. They have changed the design often over the years. It is great for carrying around in your bag. Easy to use and they have lovely shades that cover most skin tones. If not, then buy two different shades and mix! I can now be 'face ready', in half the time. Some of the classics survive time but I haven't tried the new formular as yet!? "If it ain't broke, why fix it!?, as our over the pond neighbours would spout.

My most favourite make up, I've been using it for years. Very easy to apply, covers all imperfections and using a little translucent powder sets it beautifully.

I love this product.Goes on so flawless.

Been using this product for a king time, way back to the old black container, however go,d one is better with doing kept underneath the foundation which keeps mirror cleaner, good coverage, lasts all day. Will buy again!

Have used this product for many years as it has great coverage. No other make up and I have tried many gives a flawless finish quite like it. Probably worth the money.

excellent product

I have used this product since I was 15. Usually buy from John Lewis or Elizabeth Arden direct but this is exactly the same! Very pleased, arrived on time no delay. Strongly recommend.

Great product
