Elle 18 Glow Foundation

Elle 18 is a well known makeup brand in India, having several front line products that are widely sold. I always find Elle 18 products to be reliable and good. Earlier, I have used Elle 18 lipsticks and nail polishes – I must say I am highly satisfied with my previous experiences on the products from this brand. So, recently I have brought home Elle 18 Glow Foundation, which is one of the newest launches from this company. Having using this for 3-4 months, I have decided to write a review on it. So, girls, let’s find that how this product works.

About the Product:

Elle 18 Glow Foundation is a basic foundation makeup, which gives matte skin texture and adds vibrant glow. Pamper your face with this foundation to make yourself ready for an evening party or casual daytime outdoor visit. Elle 18 Glow foundation makeup is suitable for all purposes.

Tips For Buying

Not just Elle 18 foundation, but before buying any foundation makeup product, you must match your skin tone. Elle 18 offers 4 skin tone options – choose the one which matches your skin tone closely.

Tips For Using

Rinse your face with water and then apply dry cloth to soak the water from skin. Now, you are ready to apply the foundation. You can use cleansing milk for removing the foundation. Rinse your face with water after that.

My Experience With Elle 18 Glow Foundation:

I will start with packaging, as I think that it is worth to be mentioned for Elle 18 Glow Foundation. Packaging looks very interesting and girly. I love the illustration of girl on the product. Furthermore, rich magenta, combined with black base, is giving a classy finish to appearance of this product.

To be honest, Elle 18 is a mid-range makeup brand. If you have budget issues, it is one of the best low budget makeup brand option for you. So, I was a little skeptic about the quality with the foundation from Elle 18, at the time of buying.

When I applied Elle 18 Glow Foundation on my skin, it added glowing effects, though the glow was not natural to be honest. However, the good thing is that after few minutes the artificial glow gradually disappeared. It gives matte finish to the skin – makes skin to look smooth. It covers skin imperfections quite nicely.

I’m quite satisfied with Elle 18 Glow Foundation. But, the major concern is its impact over my skin. If you allow the foundation to stay on your skin for long time, it tends to harm natural moist and softness of your skin. Hence, it is not the best product for regular usages.

Elle 18 Glow Foundation Pros:

• Adds glow to skin
• Hides skin imperfections – patch marks
• Nice creative packaging
• Budget-friendly

Elle 18 Glow Foundation Cons:

• Has negative effects on skin
• After applying, initially makes skin texture uneven and glow looks artificia

Conclusion

I have to conclude that Elle 18 Glow Foundation is a good mid-range product, but far being a competitor to the other brands, like Lakme, Revlon, etc.

Shall I Buy It Again?

Well, honestly, I would not go for it again. I have not found it to be satisfactory enough! I may go for it, in case of budget constraints. 😉
