Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup Compact Face Foundation

This is a high-quality product that looks great on the face. It doesn't smudge, but there is one small drawback, at least in my case, and that is the shine. I chose the perfect beige color for light skin with a beige undertone - it's slightly darker, but not too critical. I think a lighter shade would have been ideal.

The product is interesting, with a texture similar to concealer. It is convenient for touch-ups on the go, but the sponge is not very comfortable, so I use a brush instead.

The batch code indicates that the product was manufactured in September 2020. It's not super fresh, but it's within the expiration date.

One thing that is definitely not okay is the large scratch on the lid and the worn-out cardboard box. Instead of a gift, I had to keep it for myself. It's unpleasant to give something "tired" even for $20 instead of $40 :(

If there had been a warning about the defect, I would have simply paid extra for a new one instead of feeling disappointed by a whole paragraph about what saddened me.

Admiration! I randomly chose the Perfect Beige shade based on the name. It appears slightly lighter on the face than it does in the box. It effectively conceals imperfections without creating a mask-like effect. Throughout the day, it provides comfort and prevents any oily shine. However, it is necessary to use a face primer before applying it.

Great, I really liked it.

This cream powder is exquisite. It is convenient, high-quality, and the largest in weight among all existing ones. I highly recommend it. Everything that has been written about it is absolutely true. A special thanks to the store for their excellent service.
