Thank you all for applying to review e.l.f. makeup. We've chosen our reviewers and are closing this thread now.
I would love to trail the Mineral Foundation,It sounds just what I need I tend to not wear any base in the summer and just use a factor 15 sun lotion and a bit of blusher .
I'd love to try it as my skin tends to get quite oily
im a student currently working on a busy labour ward which is always soooo hot in this warm weather so i really need make up that will stay put throughout a long shift so these products would be ideal for me to try to see if they are as hard wearing as you say.
i really need to try this need my skin to look fresher and younger,
I'd love to try the Mineral Infused Face Primer as I have problems with dry skin and open pores, this sounds like a great solution for a perfect base! As I'm getting older (41) I need a little more help to cover those minor imperfections that seem to materialise with age, fine lines included ;o)
i would like to try this because all the foundations in the past have made my skin dry, oily or flaky. i need to know that there is a product out there that will help me and to make me feel confident please help thank you.
I'd like to try the mineral foundation please, as my foundation or tinted moisturiser seems to make me sweat more!
I swear by having a cooling spray with me at all times, its such a relief on hot days, and always keep after sun in the fridge! :)
Please can I try the primer - i need something as a good base around my eyes as i have a mark from wearing glasses and few aging lines!
i cannot make my mind up as to which one i would like lol
I would like the Mineral Infused Face Primer as i have alot of shine,so would like this to reduce that
I am a mineral virgin, not tried using them yet,so would like to see what the difference is between them and normal makeup
My summer tip is to carry a cooling spray as this will cool you down and set your makeup too, it will make your makeup last longer which is great
I keep my make up in the fridge to keep it cool. It feels great in the morning.
Ive recently had a baby and dont cope with the heat very well. I find that my body melts in the heat.
I would love to try any of these products that may help me with my perspiring face!
Ive also found it very hard to find any make up (or any other beauty products for that matter) that dont contain parabens. I watched a program about chemicals in products and know that parbens are not good for you and stay in the body for along time.
Please consider me,thank you.
Hey, i would love to review Mineral Foundation as i have the annoying skin type where i have both oily and dry areas. My tip for keeping make-up fresh in the sun is to use a mousse or powder foundation as opposed to a cream one, as the cream ones can me a lot heavier on your face and are more likely to cause streaks when you sweat them off.
Mineral Infused Face Primer please. Keep make up topped in the summer by have a handy sized mirror in your bag and plenty of tissues to dab away any glowing shines and make sure you have a decent mineral powder and brush to hand in your bag!
I would like to try Face primer because I have few marks of spots. It will help me to se before foundation
I would love to try this makeup , I wear makeup everyday and I wear foundation and loose power. Still my nose and forehead are often shiny. I am 33 and I would say my skin is combination skin and is proned blemishes from time to time.
I would really enjoy trying the Mineral Infused Face Primer, to set the basis for my make-up. In the summertime, I never really use any foundation, as it usually ends up melting because of the heat. I do have quite large pores and combination skin, so I need to keep my face even before i go on to apply powder. I have always wanted to use a face primer, as I had heard it does wonders as a makeup basee.
My tip for summer make-up is always keeping mattifying papers at hand, to wipe away the excess grease that builds up on my forehead and nose. There is nothing worse than looking like a frying pan >.<
I'd love to try this foundation. I've never heard of it before and sounds good!
I'd like to review whatever is good for a pale complexion with dark circles under the eyes that need covering up
Well given the write up on the Mineral infused face primer I would love to give it a a go !!! 50 next month!! EEEEK looks awful in print !!! Stuck in a rut make up wise so this would give me the push in the right direction !!!
I have recently had a baby and am in a bit of a beauty rut. Would love to try mineral foundationxxk
I intend to be out and about everywhere with the kids this summer, going down to the south coast to fly kites, of to cornwall to do some boogie boarding, visiting legoland, odds farm and london to the science museum. loads of different environments both outside and in to really test any of these products can't waitxxx
I would love to try the mineral foundation as I have yet to find one I really like

infused face primer as I love a good base for makeup
I can't believe this make-up is as good as it sounds. First of all the mineral foundation which reacts well to perspiration, if this is true then please let me try it, I'm on a medication that causes sweating as a side effect, so this combined with hot summers days plays havoc with my make-up. I have not come across a foundation yet or any make-up that actually lasts as long as it says, is as lightweight as advertised or keeps me shine free for hours and belive me I have tried them all. These products would have to be the worlds best to stay put on me.If you really want to put these products to the test then I'm the right gal for the job.
I love trying new products. I am not fussy, just love to 'play'!
I would love to try the Translucent Matte Powder, after having a baby 14 months ago i have had terrible skin lots of blemishes. I thought it would get better not sure if its because of pregancy or age or mixture of both.
Hi there just thought i would add again i am quite happy to try anything i am not fussy,I just love to try new products Jackie
i would love to try the Translucent Matte Powder as my face glows like a beacon in the summer time. I do have a tip though i carry a small (empty) perfume atomiser around with spring water in and lightly spray about 10" away from my face let it dry naturally and then re-apply my powder this seams to keep the shine down but i would love to try a new and better product to help please.
would love to try this product, I am new to this site and very interested in what it has to offer and offering my opinion in return. I have horrible combination skin and find it hard to apply make up it crack and dries over my dry skin and rubs off to easy over oily patches. I would love to se if this make up is any different from the other leading brands on the market.
i would love to try all of these things out please l i would love to try it :) xxx

I would love to try the e.l.f translucent matte powder makeup range. I have had terrible skin since the birth of my baby, although it is getting better my make up just doesnt look right any more. I feel stuck in a rutt with my make up after using the same brands for ages and could do with a new lease of inspiration and new ideas.
My make up tip in the heat is to use a tinted sun screen during the day and a tinted aftersun/moisturiser at night. It limits the amount of products you use, wont run off your face but keeps you protected too.
I would like to try the primer. Never used it before but with summer here want to keep my skin flawless.
My top tip for Summer is keep a spritzer bottle of water in your handbag and keep spraying your face and skin to keep it hydrated at all times.
hii i would love to try elf make up.. its goo hard to finf the right make up for my skin (still looking) but this sounds prefect... staci x
I would love to try the foundation as I am off on holiday in early August and have heard amazing things about this foundation actually working in the heat!
I would love to try the foundation as I am off on holiday at the beginning of August and i need something that works well in the heat. I have heard amazing things about this foundation.
I would love the opportunity to try the e.l.f. makeup products as I am on a lot of medication for Fibromyalgia. My skin breaks out in some spots, even more so when I use my own make up. The medication also causes a lot of persparation on my forehead so my makeup basically come off. I then wonder "What's the point of putting Makeup on :(
I absolutey adore mineral make-up because it's so good for my sensitive skin, & to find a product line like e.l.f's especially for the summer is an absolute dream!! I personally would love to try any of the products, especially the face primer & powder because sometimes you just need a little to make a lot of difference!
My tip would be if you have un-ruly eyebrows? After you've pencilled them (or not!) just spray a small amount of hairspray on your eyebrow comb/brush & sweep over for that brow perfection all day!!!
Hi, I'd love to try e.l.f.’s Mineral Infused Face Primer. Hope I'm lucky enough to get picked! Thanks
The face primer, I've never used one and would ove to see how much difference they make.
My tip - make sure your eyelids are powdered well to stop eyeliner transferring from your lash-line to your socket-line.
i am interested in the foundation because it is water resisitant and i am a very sporty person. i have greasy skin and oily pores.

I'm very interested in trying the Mineral Infused Facial Primer.
my summer tip is a spray bottle of Evian. After you've applied your make up spray a light mist over your face to make your make up set nicely. It's also very refreshing in this hot weather.
I would just love to try this wonderfull make up out!!! Please take into consideration that i want to test this so badly!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I would love to try this as in the summer liquid foundation just seems to melt away from my skin
I would love to try minerals make up as I find my make up seems to melt away in the summer, so I just avoid using make up. I would like to find make up that would be light and easy to use, and not irritate my skin since I have very sensiive skin and suffer from acne rosacea. I hadn't heard of make up that also contains sun protection which would be great to try since I have very sun sensitive skin. e.l.f make up sounds perfect I would love the opportunity to be able to try it out.
I would absolutely love to test Mineral Infused Face Primer for you it sounds fantastic, Im a big fan of e.l.f and have so many of there fantastic mineral eye shadows amongst other things but this is something i havent tried yet. My summer beauty tip is to mix your foundation with moisturiser for a lighter effect which is also much more bareable in these sticky sweaty months, Or even better try to avoid wearing it in the day and just use sun cream to protect your skin, Your skin will be able to breathe and you will be less likely to get extra spots through the summer months
I am 31 combination skin but find that as I am getting older my skin is getting more oily (?), no idea why I would love to try the Mineral Infused Face Primer.
I'd love to test the Mineral Foundation because I've always wanted to try this but I don't want to make an expensive mistake if I don't like it.
My summer tip is wear a tinted moisturiser instead of a heavy foundation during the day and dust on a bit of bronzer to give you a nice healthy summer glow.
