e.l.f. Studio SPF 45 Sunscreen UVA/UVB Protection

Comments about elf Cosmetics SPF 45 Sunscreen UVA/UVB Protection:

I've been very pleasantly surprised by the coverage I get from this product and have been using it as my foundation. For spots I need extra coverage I apply the Maximum Coverage Concealer with the Flawless Concealer Brush on top and set with a bit more powder. I love the look and light feel. I daresay this is an HG product for me. Can't beat it for the price.

I thought I would be better than what it is. This makes my skin really pale and ghost like and probably would work better on tan skin.

Overall, I love this powder. I tend to touch up on the go however, as do most women, and I find it somewhat difficult with this product. The packaging is fairly large for the amount of powder it contains which makes it difficult to fit in a small, travel size makeup bag. On top of that, the holes are large so a lot of powder comes out at once, making it pretty messy if you aren't opening it over a sink. This problem could probably be avoided if you keep the puff inside, but I prefer to use my flat powder brush with this. Other than that I think it's great, although it is difficult to tell if the UVA/UVB protection actually works.

I FINALLY FOUND A WAY TO USE THIS POWDER. I'm african american and I had the hardest time trying to use this powder the first time I bought it back in Germany. It applied patchy and uneven and made me look ashy. I'm in Afghanistan now and I needed sun protection, without applying and reapplying oily greasy sunscreen on my already oily face, with me already having makeup on. So i decided to repurchase this product, determined on finiding a way to use this, and I did. This has to be used as a setting powder for me and has to be used with E.L.F's big fluffy complexion brush. Also I have to break up the powder first by pouring it into the cap tapping the side of the cap with my brush to break the powder down finer (so it won't apply so patchy) and then apply in a swirling motion with the brush. It gives off a white cast in pictures, but I don't use this for pictures, just sun protection.

It has that sunscreen smell once it's on your skin and you're going about your day, you will smell it, so i'm assuming its doing it's job of protecting the skin. I did reapply after becoming oily because I wasn't sure if the oil in my skin was breaking up the powder and minimizing it's protection.

So all in all, I think this is ok for the price, and the fact this can be applied more than once throughout the day OVER your makeup, and not get cakey. I apply moisturizer, primer, tinted moisturizer, and pressed powder, then i apply this and I don't look cakey or powdery at all.

I love this sunscreen! I know how important it is to take care of yourself, and especially to apply sunscreen! I am very very fair, and I find that I can actually use this as a foundation on lazier days, or days when I don't feel I need as much coverage! It also works well as a finishing powder on top of Makeup Forever's HD foundation. I would recommend everyone buy this and protect their skin!! So quick and easy!

As soon as i saw that elf was selling some sunscreen power, i had to have it but sadly i have to wait for like every for it to be restocked. Finally got to order it this month and honesty i love it. I apply it over the top of my other make up and i am ready to go :) I would totally rebuy again and again.

I bought this powder for the hot months in germany,and boy has it been hot. I was sadly disappointed with this product though. I saw reviews about its to dark for pale women, it would work best on darker skin tones...well im african american but this powder makes me look ashy, like most sunscreens do. I do not like that powdery feeling on my face neither.I've tried applying with different brushes and mixing it with my moisterizer, still too light for me and makes me look ashy. I'll keep trying because i love the fact its spf45. I mostly tried to wear this on dys with no makeup also

I may have put this too close to my eyes as it made them sting. I would like to put it in a travel shaker brush and keep it in my bag for use on my body but my face only the perimeter . Great idea though!

I really like this product. My first time using it, I felt that it was easy to use and the coverage is fantastic. The fact that it has an SPF of 45, makes me even more happy with this product. Thanks, ELF!
