Really wanted to bundle and order things from Earth Hero vs. buying this foundation separately on the Elate website. However, this foundation is really oddly textured compared to its normal formula. It’s extra thick, piles, and rolls off the skin/clumps vs. its normally creamy, emollient formula. I’m wondering if this product was shipped to me expired or tainted as this does not feel like the true Elate formula

Honestly, I’m pretty bummed out with this foundation. Considering the price I was expecting that it would apply very nicely. Instead, it goes on very blotchy and is hard to blend out. There are also a very limited number of shades, which is very unfortunate. It also isn’t very full coverage, which I was expecting given the consistency. In addition, I made the shade choice based on the color it indicated on this website, and when it arrived it was about 2 shades too dark for me. It should work in the summer, but definitely looks wrong now.

I bought this foundation for my mom and she absolutely loved it! I also tried it out because we are same skin tone. The foundation provides great coverage, it’s moisturizing and it lasts all day. We didn’t have any issues with product hardening. Also, I contacted the actual Elate company for color matching and they were very helpful with color matching 🙂

Are the foundations refillable?

EarthHero –
Hi Trisha! The Elate Pressed Powder Foundation does have a refillable aspect- but the Creme Foundation does not. However, the container is glass and can be reused, recycled, or sent back to us at EH to be recycled when empty!

I have purchased a few things now from Elate on the Earthhero website, some I like and some I don’t. Unfortunately, this Uplift Foundation pretty quickly hardened to a thick paste in the container and takes a bit of manpower to smooth it on. I am only able to pat it under my eyes (i’ll get to the Concealer part in a minute), but have given up on a full face application. It just doesn’t seem to blend in well and I can see some clumps on my face. I am not new to clean and green products and usually can work out the kinks associated with non-commercial products, but I was hoping for a more premium product that would act like a full coverage foundation, and ended up with a product that is difficult to cover my face with. Basically, the same thing happened with the Creme Concealer. I guess I’ll go over to that product and leave a similar review.

Both the color and the texture are pasty, if you’re looking for a natural look this isn’t it. I add water to make a foundation with reasonable coverage without looking like I’m wearing a mask.

I’ve been using this foundation for over a week now. The shade isn’t exact, but close enough to fit my needs. I have not had the oxidation issue that some of the other reviewers have had. The consistency is rather sticky, which makes it difficult to apply. However, the foundation does provide good coverage and lasts. It looks to be “buildable” – I only apply one layer with my fingers, so others will have to comment on that. I’ve had better foundations, but happy to use this one that ethically sourced, natural, and low-waste.

Question
aubreyhill –
Is it non comedogenic? What are the shades equivalent to in Neutrogena foundation shades?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hi Aubrey! Great question. This product contains coconut oil which some skin types are sensitive to! If you’ve got dryer skin, this one is definitely more moisturizing and similar to creamy, mousse foundations. As for Neutrogena shade matching, each type of foundation will have different shades, so feel free to reach out via live chat and we will have our customer service gal help you shade match!
