What do you think of ELF makeup?

Give me all of your opinions of ELF makeup.


I'm thinking about ordering some, tell me what worked for you.What do you think of ELF makeup?
I think if you're just starting out with makeup, ELF is an okay brand to start out with. You can play around with all of the different eye shadow quads they have and the cream shadows for relatively cheap (like a dollar each). Basically try to get an eyeshadow from each color family and see how it looks on you. Once you get a feel for what colors suit you best or just what you like, I would upgrade to a brand that is better quality since the pigmentation and color payoff is not that great. Overall, I don't buy their eye shadows anymore just because they're not as pigmented as I would like them to be but if you just want to play around with different colors, it works okay.





Their nail polishes are pretty good and so are their lip glosses. Also if you want a good eye brush, you can get a decent shadow brush and blending brush for a dollar each. I definitely recommend the eye brushes but not the face brushes (the face brushes are kind of prickly).





If you want cheap makeup, I would recommend getting some NYX products from Cherry Culture. They're relatively cheap (not as cheap as a dollar like ELF but still reasonably priced). The texture of the eye shadows is great, they're very pigmented and easy to blend. Many of the NYX eye shadows have as high a quality as some MAC ones! Their lipsticks and lip glosses get mostly high praise from people who do reviews as well.





For both ELF and NYX, definitely watch some YouTube reviews. A ton of people do haul/review videos where they show you some color swatches (so you can get an idea of the true color and color payoff) and talk about how to use them. I think if you do your research, you can confidently order your makeup and be satisfied with your purchases!

There are varying opinions of ELF and the majority that I have seen is that you get what you pay for. Ultimately, as with most other cosmetics, there are some things that you can scrimp on, and some that you probably should go with a higher quality. I've heard that the lip glosses are great, as are some of the eye shadows. The rest are ';eh.';
the makeup brushes are great for the value, very soft and pretty darn durable. The shadow quads for eye brightening color in silver lining, matte mauve and, drama and ivy are really pretty...the shadow color for a custom compact i like best from ELF is wisteria, sage and ivory...their nailpolish is pretty good...i hear that the shimmering facial whip is pretty good quality...just get urban decay or too faced primer for the lids if u want a bit more color out of the shadows...the make up tools are definately a good buy though...i hear the liners/ mascara and the all over face stuff like foundation dont work too well...to me u should spend ur money in make up where it needs to be spent...i think the make up products u should pay more for are...foundation, mascara, lid primer...everything else is workable in depth if u have those 3 things to help the rest along when needed.
it may be good make up but the prices are very low and the quality may not be high. i understand about trying to save money but isnt it better to get something that cost a little bit more money and that last longer than to get some thing that u can only use a couple of times and that doesnt look that good?
its not the best, you know?


the eyeliner dont work that great,and the eyeshadow is too plain.


other then that i havnt really used any other kind.
I use the eyeshadow and for the most part I like it. there are better makeup brands out there but its ok.
but you wouldn't get it till christmas.
I love the lip gloss in ';maple sugar.';


Oh god, it smells and tastes great and stays on forever.


Love it!
Elf makeup like the elves workin for Santa? I think it would be cool lookin!
The eyeliner didn't work for me. But I have tried the shadow, it's pretty good.
I love it, but don't get the SPF 15 Hydra-tint. It's so orange.
I reallly don't like it.
