Worth it! Sheer to medium coverage, excellent for dry skin.

I love this foundation, I wish I didn't only because of the price. It is a build able foundation so if you're looking for full coverage this is not for you. I have dry skin and every foundation i've tried (short of koh gen do) has accentuated my dry patches. Not this one. If I use it every day it lasts between 6-7 months for a bottle. (I agree 100% with Wayne on this one, it looks just like skin, exactly what I want)

Imperceptible

My favorite foundation for personal use has always been the original formula of Guerlain's Lingerie de Peau Invisible Skin Fusion foundation. The formula has been "improved" which is code for ruined, and luckily, I already knew Ellis Faas Skin Veil was a good dupe for the original formula. Skin Veil is imperceptible. Like, Guerlain's original Lingerie de Peau, it truly looks like a second skin. It doesn't pool into pores or emphasize fine lines and wrinkles. It wears very well for many hours. The reason I never chose it over my Guerlain was because it is a bit more drying and provides even less moisture. So if you are normal or dry, I advise you to make the most of your prep with a good moisture infusing serum. The coverage is light and if you have a breakout or dark circles you will have to use a separate concealing product to contend with it. It is worth the extra work to achieve the skin line finish of the product. So many products on the market now promise this kind of finish, but this one actually achieves it. If you want full coverage this is not your foundation.

Hated it

Seriously I hate it I'm so sad, it feels thick and dry, for the price it just isn't up to par

This foundation provides a beautiful natural look. It is light, silky, and spreadable and leaves skin looking blemish-free and still like skin. Plus, it is easily layer-able for more coverage!

Love it! My #1

I tried this based on Wayne Goss' rave reviews and I couldn't imagine a better product. Yes, it's expensive. I believe it's worth it. Full disclosure; I already have great skin. This evens it out and keeps me looking polished without looking fake at all. With a great primer, a half a pump is all I need so a bottle lasts me almost a year. One of the best beauty purchases I've ever made.

Amazing product

Not only was this amazing product I love the coverage and the way it feels on my skin I also was extremely happy the way it was shipped to me and very classy company

PERFECT FOR ME 💋

I have no issues with this foundation. Due to the price, I purchased the pen. Later, I was able to purchase this product for 45.00 from another online retailer. I take care of my skin, and EF is perfect for me. One pump is all I need for flawless coverage. I have no issues with the texture or feel the need to build the coverage.

One of my favorites

I didn't purchase this online because I wasn't quite sure of the shade matches. I have a neutral undertone, and finding the right foundation can be very difficult, but I found that shade 2 really matched me (I tried it on in a store). The finish is absolutely beautiful, and I always get compliments and questions whenever I wear this, which almost NEVER happens with any other brand. I apply it with a BeautyBlender, and it has the most natural/beautiful/spectacular finish. I have combination skin, and this doesn't emphasize pores or make me appear oilier at the end of the day. It's really hard to find Ellis Fass products in the US these days, but I'm so happy Beautylish has it!

Love the product, hate the price

I'm extraordinarily picky with foundation. The "thin" trend is in as far as foundation texture goes, but (as people are finding out) those types of formulas highlight every. single. imperfection. Not this foundation! It's texture is thick and soft, but not heavy. Honestly, it *really does* look like skin. The limited shade range is a disappointment, but I did find one that is close enough for me that I'll stick with it. I have combo skin and found that the T-zone gets a bit shiny a few hours into the day, but that's nothing new. The price is ridiculous (criminal, really) so it pains me to love this product as much as I do.

I got this foundation and koh gen do. Price wise this is definitely more expensive as both are 30ml. For budget friendly ones, go for bourjois healthy mix. Medium coverage as well!
