I feel like it gives me that slightly more perfected, “finished makeup” look while still sitting beautifully on my mature skin. Yesterday’s e.l.f., though, looked a little softer and more skin-like on me. It gave me that fresh “my skin, just better” finish that I keep coming back to. So right now: 🏆 e.l.f. — natural, fresh, everyday skin 🏆 IsaDora — smooth, polished, more perfected I honestly thought testing them back-to-back would finally give me an answer. Nope. 😂 If I HAD to choose today, e.l.f. is still winning by the tiniest amount… but IsaDora is making it very difficult! Which look do you prefer — IsaDora today or e.l.f. yesterday? 👀❤️ Let's hope my.post get translated right today 😂 😂 😆 #isadora #elfcosmetics #elfmakeup #lykoreview #lyko #foundationreview #foundationcomparison #matureskin #matureskinmakeup #makeupover40119 views

- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekWait… is e.l.f. actually my winner?! 😂 So confused 🤔 🤔 I honestly thought testing more foundations would make choosing my favorite easier. Apparently it has done the exact opposite. 😂 I've been trying different bases from IsaDora, Lumene and e.l.f., experimenting with different finishes and combinations, and every time I think I've decided which one I prefer… I end up back at e.l.f. Today I did another e.l.f. makeup day, and looking at my skin afterwards I'm confused all over again. 😂 The finish looks smooth and natural, there's enough coverage to even everything out, but I can still see skin. It doesn't look like I'm wearing a thick layer of foundation. What I especially like is how it sits on my more mature skin. My texture and lines obviously haven't magically disappeared — nor do I expect them to — but the makeup isn't drawing unnecessary attention to them. The overall finish just looks soft, fresh and really wearable. And then there's my completely unofficial makeup judge: my husband. 😂❤️ I've noticed that he keeps complimenting my makeup when I'm wearing e.l.f. He doesn't care what brand I've used or what foundation I'm testing, so when the same look keeps getting compliments, I have to admit that's making me question my rankings. 😂 I genuinely like IsaDora, and I've had some beautiful results with Lumene too, so I wasn't expecting this decision to become so difficult. But e.l.f. keeps giving me that combination I want: natural-looking skin + good coverage + comfortable wear + a finish that still looks like me and most important for me it will last me all day without worrying about it while I am working outdoors doing yard work and house maintenance. So now I'm wondering… Is e.l.f. actually the winner and I've just been refusing to admit it? 😂 For the price especially, I'm seriously impressed so far — and apparently the husband approved too. 😂❤️ Little image before heading out the door. 🤔 #elf #elfcosmetics #elfmakeup #lykoreview #lyko #makeupover40 #foundationreview #makeupreview #beautyreview #everydaymakeup91 views

- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 2 weeks✨ Full-face makeup review — glowy makeup on mature skin I wanted to put several of my products together and see how they actually performed as a full face. I’m looking for makeup that gives me coverage but still leaves my skin looking fresh, glowy and like real skin rather than completely masking my texture. And will last all day in harsh outdoor work conditions. After yesterday trying Maybelline I was so disgusted by end of the day today I wanted some of my favorites again 😂 🤗. And give nice expination why I love them. And these are some I can truly recommend 🤗. 🤍 IsaDora No Compromise Lightweight Matte Foundation – 3W This gives me the coverage I want without feeling extremely heavy. Even though it's described as matte, on my skin it doesn't have to look flat, especially when I pair it with more luminous products. I like the way 3W works with my complexion and gives me a more even base while still allowing some natural skin texture to show through. ✨ IsaDora Wake Up the Glow Foundation – 5N I used this together with the 3W foundation and I really like what it adds. It brings back luminosity and makes the overall base look fresher and less matte. For mature skin, I much prefer having this little bit of glow rather than trying to make everything perfectly matte. The combination gives me coverage but still has life to it. 💧 Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer This is the product I'm most divided about. When my skin is having a good, hydrated day, I really like the grip and the way makeup sits over it. But when my skin is drier or just having a bad morning, it can sometimes start to flake/pill on me. Because of that, it's not completely reliable for my skin. I actually prefer my e.l.f. gripping primer slightly more. I haven't noticed the same flaking problem with the e.l.f., so it's the one I feel safer reaching for when I don't know how my skin is going to behave that day. 🤎 e.l.f. bronzer I like the warmth this gives without needing a heavy contour. On mature skin I find that softer bronzing looks much fresher than creating very sharp lines. It gives my face some dimension back after foundation and works nicely with the warmer base. 🌸 e.l.f. blush The blush gives just enough colour to stop the foundation from making my complexion look flat. I especially like this kind of soft rosy colour with my eye colour and reddish hair. In the close-ups it still looks like part of the skin rather than a separate stripe of blush. 👁 IsaDora mascara/eye products The mascara is one of the strongest parts of the finished look for me. It really defines my lashes and opens up my eyes without needing a complicated eye look. With my light eyes, the darker lashes give enough contrast that I can keep the rest of the eye makeup relatively simple. I really enjoy this Isadora mascara more than. Anything else I have tried this one lasts the longest with no flakes and no smudges. ✏️ IsaDora Brow Pencil 💕 I like keeping my brows defined but not extremely drawn-on. Isadora wins on this for me.. 💋 IsaDora lip liner/lip + e.l.f gloss These are seriously a win , they last and feel good all day. They lip liner is easy to apply and is one I found to last the longest for me, also Isadora lipstick glides on and looks fabulous with great lasting power. And I love topping off with little gloss so my favorites right now are e.l.f and bylyko both feel and smell great giving just right amount of gloss. ✨ Make Up Store North Star Duo — I used this for that extra glow on my cheeks. I really like the luminous finish it gives without making the skin look overly glittery. You can still clearly see the sheen in this photo which impressed me! It catches the light beautifully and gives that healthy, glowy-skin look. 💕✨ ⭐ Overall What I like most is that my skin still looks like skin. You can see some pores, fine lines and texture in the close-up photos, but the makeup isn't sitting on top of them in a thick, cakey layer. The IsaDora 3W + Wake Up the Glow 5N combination is especially interesting because I get the coverage of the more matte base with some of the luminosity put back in. The blush, bronzer and glossy lip keep the whole thing soft rather than overly matte. The one product I'm still not completely sold on is Milk Hydro Grip simply because its performance changes depending on how my skin is behaving. Between Milk and e.l.f., e.l.f. Grip wins for consistency on my skin so far. Overall: fresh, glowy, wearable mature-skin makeup with real texture still showing. 💕✨ #lyko #lykoreview #matureskinmakeup #makeupover40 #glowymakeup #isadora #elfcosmetics #milkmakeup #makeupreview #beautyreview #isadora #makeupstore11 products in post

Layer Lyko Blush in Pink Panic on the high points for an electric pink pop. Blend for the ultimate juicy, custom flush.

The glow from this duo is gorgeous — luminous and noticeable without looking chunky or overly glittery. It catches the light beautifully and gives my skin that fresh, radiant finish I love. I also love how easily it works with my e.l.f. makeup. Everything blended together beautifully, and the finished look feels polished and glowy without being too much. The North Star Duo has quickly become one of those products I keep reaching for. ✨🤍 #makeupstore #northstarduo #elfcosmetics #glowymakeup #lyko #lykoreview #elfcosmetics #makeupprimer3 products in post316 views

Today I decided to wear a full face using mostly e.l.f. products, and I couldn't have picked a tougher test! 😅 I spent around 6 hours outside doing trimming work in warm weather. I was sweating, wiping my face with a rag multiple times, and definitely wasn't treating my makeup gently! E.l.f continues to amaze me ❤️, My makeup held up incredibly well. My skin still looked fresh, my blush and bronzer were visible, and everything wore down naturally instead of looking patchy or separating. Even after a long day outdoors, my makeup still looked presentable. I love that e.l.f. products give me a beautiful natural finish while still holding up during a busy day. For the price, the quality continues to impress me. If you're looking for affordable makeup that can handle real life—not just sitting indoors—I definitely recommend giving e.l.f. a try. -This photo is after 6 hours work wearing my helmet all day and sweating and cleaning grass off many times with my face rag- #elfcosmetics #elfmakeup #elfreview #elfcosmeticsreview #elffullface #makeupweartest #weartest #longlastingmakeup #makeupover40 #lyko23 products in post983 views

Powder Highlighter 🤍 Moira Eyeshadow Palette with a touch of Nudestix 🤍 Sensai Mascara 🤍 e.l.f. Lip Liner & Lipstick 🤍 By Lyko Glow Setting Spray 💖 My thoughts: The By Lyko Glow Setting Spray was the perfect finishing step. It took away any powdery look and gave my skin a fresh, healthy glow without making it feel sticky or greasy. My makeup looked more natural once everything had melted together. The Sensai mascara continues to be one of my favourites—it gives great length and separation without clumping. This is so good 😊 I also loved how the e.l.f. blush and highlighter worked together. The blush gave a healthy flush, while the highlighter added a soft glow that catches the light without looking overdone. Overall, this look felt lightweight, comfortable, and glowy—exactly the kind of makeup I enjoy wearing every day and for work. I used mix match of older stuff that are favorites today to experiment since I have time and not much work today 😂 Also I used lots of products from lovables glow box along with the dark primer and it looks good 😊 #elfcosmetics #elfmakeup #elfreview #elfcosmeticsreview #elffullface #makeupweartest #weartest #isadora #sensai #lumene14 products in post1826 views

Absolutely hate
As a Lyko test pilot, I got the chance to try this setting spray. I had so many expectations and was so excited to try it but ended up really disappointed. I can't say anything about the longevity of this product because as soon as I tried it, I took my makeup off immediately! This setting spray contains glitter particles to give a glow, and I absolutely hate that. I had glitter all over my face, clothes, and makeup table. It has a pretty wide spray, so as mentioned, it gets everywhere. I absolutely hate having glitter particles on me, so when this sprayed glitter all over me, I had to take it off and couldn't continue using it. I was disappointed and gave it to my sister. I can't say anything about the longevity, but it's good to keep in mind that this contains pure glitter particles and doesn't give a nice glow. Will never buy again. #lykotestpilot #lykoreview #elfcosmetics1 product in post Absolutely hate236 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5
Completely okay
As a test pilot, I got to try this primer, my expectations were not high since the blue version didn’t work for me and this was the same story. When I first got it, I didn’t have many expectations but still hoped it would work better than the blue/green version. My honest opinion is that there’s nothing special about this and it wasn’t different from the other version. I don’t like primers like this because they are so thick to spread. It doesn’t feel like you get it all over your face since it’s so rich and sticky. It held the makeup okay but my makeup became crumbly right after application. When I had just finished my makeup on top of this primer, the makeup didn’t look very good. The makeup looked much better after I got home from my summer job and the makeup had settled a bit. I have acne and combination skin, I’ve heard these can cause more acne but I haven’t noticed any more pimples than I usually get, which is good. But in the end, this wasn’t a product for me both because it’s too rich and because the makeup became ruined right after application. I didn’t think it held anything much longer than my makeup does on its own. Sure, my makeup was a bit more pigmented than usual at the end of the day but absolutely nothing really special about this primer. #lykotestpilot #lykoreview #elfcosmetics1 product in post Completely okay783 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 4 out of 5
Good primer
I have tried many primers and I can say that this type of primer is the best for long-lasting makeup that lasts all day and makes the makeup sit well. It has a thick-ish gel consistency that you need to blend well and let sit a bit before you start applying makeup for the best result. + Economical to use + Good for both light and full glam makeup + Can be used every day + Contains skincare - Gets a bit sticky on the hands after use It met all my expectations and will always be an easy favorite for me✨ #lykotestpilot #elf #elfcosmetics #primer1 product in post Good primer356 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 4 out of 5
Glow✨🩷
My first impression of this was "WOW" I didn’t have high expectations but was really happy with it! It gives such a nice light glittery glow to the makeup. I loved how the spray on the bottle was light and gentle. One thing I noticed is that you have to shake the bottle well before use so it comes out nice and even What brought it down a bit was that some glitter can get on clothes and hair. I’m not bothered by it but it can be a bit annoying It also has a slight scent this quickly became a favorite of mine🫰 #lykotestpilot #elf #elfcosmetics1 product in post Glow✨🩷276 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5
Gives a nice glow
I've been trying this for a while now, and overall I like the product. A big plus is that it doesn't have a strong scent, which suits my sensitive skin well. The spray is also easy to use, and it gives the face a beautiful, natural glow without a heavy feeling. However, I have quite oily skin, so unfortunately the product doesn't keep makeup in place all day, especially now in the summer. I think it works more as a spray that "melts" the makeup layers together and makes the finish look more natural, rather than as a proper setting spray. I believe this suits someone with normal or dry skin better, or whose skin isn't as oily as mine. Even though the product wasn't perfect for my skin type, I like the glow it gives and how it finishes the makeup. I could definitely buy this again myself. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post Gives a nice glow122 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5
Just a basic good product
The first impression was positive, the primer is easy to apply, and it has no strong scent at all, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. The primer keeps makeup in place well for most of the day, and makeup applies evenly on top. However, I noticed that makeup didn’t adhere as well around the nose and mouth. These areas are a bit drier for me, so I believe that affected the final result. I usually use a more moisturizing primer, so this felt neutral to me. It does what you expect from a primer but didn’t offer anything that would make me switch from my current favorite product. Overall, it’s a functional basic product, but I don’t think I would buy it again myself. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post Just a basic good product141 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

ELF primer
Really nice pink packaging and it feels luxurious for being Elf. After trying this product for a couple of weeks, I unfortunately have to diss it. It has a pleasant scent, but it is very sticky and leaves a slightly stiff and uncomfortable feeling on the skin. But I definitely think it works well as a primer. The makeup stays well from morning to night. Overall, 3 out of 5 in rating. I got this as a Lyko test pilot and it was super fun, but unfortunately not something I would buy again. However, I love the setting spray and I will continue to use it every day! #elfcosmetics #lykotestpilot1 product in post ELF primer180 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Glow without irritating the skin
This is a setting spray that I have been testing for a while now during the summer. I like that it gives the skin a fresh glow while keeping the makeup looking nice longer, even when it's warm outside. The spray contains shimmer, which is usually not something I look for, but on summer evenings I actually think it gives a really nice effect. A tip is to shake the bottle well before use so that the shimmer is evenly distributed. I have sensitive skin and have not noticed any irritation. The only thing that lowers the rating for me is the scent, which is stronger than I personally prefer. Otherwise, the product feels pleasant to use and gives a feeling of being more expensive than it is. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics #lykocreator #settingspray #beauty #tips1 product in post Glow without irritating the skin - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Keeps makeup in place all day 🤍
I got curious about this because I wanted to find a primer that really helps makeup stay put during hot summer days. I have sensitive skin, and many primers can irritate or feel heavy, so it was important for me that it would also work on my skin. What stands out the most is how good the grip is. It’s very economical, and only a small amount is needed. I noticed the best results when I let the primer set for a while before continuing with the rest of my makeup. Now during the summer, the makeup stays significantly better despite the heat, and my skin still feels comfortable. I haven’t experienced any irritation, and my skin also maintains a nice, naturally lasting glow. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post Keeps makeup in place all day 🤍1222 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Surprised
I got to try the ELF Power Grip Primer Niacinamide and was positively surprised. I usually don’t like using primer because of the heavy feeling, but I didn’t get that feeling from this one. The skin felt really sticky after application, but the foundation applied very well and stayed all day. The niacinamide-containing formula also feels pleasant on the skin and didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. The only downside is that you should use the product sparingly, as too much can cause the makeup base to roll. All in all, a really good primer for its price⭐️ #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post Surprised144 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 monthRating: 3 out of 5
A bit disappointed
I was really happy and excited to try the ELF Power Grip Rose Setting Spray, but this product leaves a VERY glittery finish on the skin. The spray feels light and doesn’t feel sticky on the face and finishes the makeup neatly. The rose scent was too strong for my taste, so it might not be for everyone. The durability is quite good, but after a long day or in hot weather, the makeup still starts to wear off a bit. Considering the price, it’s a decent product, but there are longer-lasting options available on the market. #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post A bit disappointed108 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Sparkling 💖
So wow!! This setting spray looks absolutely magical 🧚🏼♀️✨ Love the color, the scent, and the shimmer you can see through the transparent bottle. It spreads very evenly on the skin, the mist from the spray is super soft ☁️ Feels like the makeup stays well all day and it gives a nice glow! ✨ What surprised me the most was how much glitter I had on my face and on my sweater after application 😆, but that doesn’t matter since I love glitter 🪩🫶🏼 Happy and grateful that I got to test this 🤩 #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post Sparkling 💖 - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

A little disappointed
Visually cute and practical, like the pink color and the pump 🩷 The product itself was unfortunately not quite for me. Power Grip is really a fitting name, but I found the makeup harder to blend, and the thick/sticky consistency gave a feeling that the skin couldn’t breathe under the makeup. It definitely gives a glow, but on my skin, after a couple of hours, it started to look a bit oily, which I usually don’t struggle with. Maybe this primer is better to use in the fall/winter when it’s not so warm outside 🤔 Will pass it on to someone who hopefully will enjoy it more, but fun to have tested! 🌸✨ #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post A little disappointed309 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Good!
Have been lucky enough to try the product for a few weeks now and am surprised at how good it is. Haven't used primer much before, but I really liked this one. Found the product easy to spread on the skin and it created the “sticky” layer so the makeup would last better. I've noticed a big difference whether I use it or not. The makeup lasts much longer and doesn't fade during the day like it would have if I hadn't used the product. I think the packaging of the product is very nice and good. Since it’s a tube with a pump, it’s easy to get all the product out. I have sensitive, acne-prone, and combination skin and thought it suited my skin very well. Didn’t get any breakouts. Would recommend this if you need a primer so your makeup lasts longer, if not all day😊 #lykotestpilot #elfcosmetics1 product in post Good!109 views
