ELROEL Blanc Cover Cream Stick V White - Korean Foundation (#202 Natural)

So I have been using an age defying foundation for years, and it was not working for me anymore. I had difficulty matching a shade and my skin has become much drier as I have aged. This foundation doesn't seem to settle into my lines as much, and looks like real skin, and not mask like. It is buildable for areas that need a little more coverage. I did switch to a cream blush (works better with this) and blend the blush into the foundation with a brush, and finish with a very, very light powder to control excess shine. I have sensitive skin with some sun damage and have had no reaction. It is moisturizing and contains sunscreen. It seems to last all day. It is a bit more expensive than my drug store foundation, but I decided to give it a try and I honestly love it. It took a couple of tries to get the application down, but now it is my favorite. It does take me a little longer to apply, only because I am older and not used to using tools to apply my foundation. It comes with a built in brush that I clean in between uses.

I’m shocked to find so many terrible reviews from older women. I’m 48, fair skinned and have a few blemishes and veins showing on my cheek.

The quality is superb - lasts a very long time / all day coverage and matches my skin tone almost exactly. You can see NO signs of blemishes, but it looks like I’m not wearing any make up at all!

I ordered “natural” but that was a smudge to dark, though everyone else said it looks perfect!

Anyways - it’s very lightweight and doesn’t feel cakey. It’s smooth and creamy / moisturizing - for me anyways. It’s autumn and my skin gets dry in colder weather. I haven’t had to start with lotion using this foundation, and when I remove it at night my skin is so soft.

It looks natural, whoever said it made her look like a ghost must have applied the entire stick, or did not blend it. Or maybe got the kabuki version…I don’t know.

I do agree that the cap falls off while brushing / blending, but that really doesn’t matter to me. I just leave the cap off while I use the brush.

In short - I never use foundation because I can never find something that matches my skin tone and doesn’t collect in the creases and wrinkles. This one is INCREDIBLE, follows through with its claims, and I’m excited to finally, for the first time in my life at 48, have a foundation that works!! I’m on my second stick.

Worth $5 USD and yet they’re charging almost $30!!!

Just for your info: I’m 60 y/o with fair, sensitive skin with normal skin moisture (not dry/not oily).

Unlike other cream makeup foundations & concealers on sticks, this product turned out to be super dry. It’s so dry that I decided to use Eucerin intensive care moisturizer prior to applying it, which helped but obviously, it isn’t ideal as it defeats the purpose for a “creamy foundation” that’s supposed to be well, CREAMY!

It’s definitely white but unlike advertised, it does NOT change its color as I applied it on my super fair facial skin!! Just a little bit of it made me look like a ghost!

Also, it does NOT cover any blemishes, not even the faintest of spots, which I only have less than a hand full on my face, mostly on the corners of my eyes.

I guess this could work for younger women with very oily skin, as this product definitely dries up the skin. However, it only works as a “see through” foundation and it definitely “whitens” even the whitest of skin tones!

It’s super dry on the skin so no only it defeats its purpose but I know it’d harm my skin on long term.

There are much better skin/facial makeup foundations on today’s market, which ideally match or at least come close to matching our skin color tones…rather than just make it whiter while failing to cover the slightest (or lightest if you will) of small blemishes.

In the past, I’ve purchased products like this in liquid form (on “pump” small glass containers) that actually change color once applied and it works far better as foundation, especially when it comes to moisturizing and covering blemishes (and even as sunblockers) than this product does!

I agree with one reviewer here, who like myself, had issues keeping the brush lid on while applying the product on her facial skin. It doesn’t always happen but the brush lid can and it does come off easily, especially if we’re not careful about holding the stick above the bush lid, which obviously isn’t ideal, rather super inconvenient and annoying, especially when if we’re in a hurry, which to me personally is the main point and purpose of purchasing makeup products that come on sticks!

The brush itself is firm, which I like but then again, since mine is sensitive skin, it’s another thing that I must be careful about as extra firm brushes can definitely be too harsh if I’m not careful while using it on my sensitive facial skin. The firm brush is however ideal for this product as a soft brush couldn’t possibly work to evenly distribute extremely dry facial makeup products.

I’m super disappointed, especially considering that this is supposedly a Korean product and that I never had any issues and was never disappointed with Made in Korea skin and makeup products…until now!

I’ve found much, much better and far less costly Korean makeup and skin care products at stores such as Marshall’s and TJMAXX and I can honestly say that this product doesn’t come close to living up to the Korean standards that I’ve been so happy with for many years now!

This was a total waste of my time and money!

NOPE…I DON’T recommend this product!

The lids won’t stay on, other than that it’s a good product. I like the lightness on my face, I can’t even tell I’m wearing anything. Coverage is OK, it’s not a concealer. I will buy it again and hopes that this particular one was defective with the lids popping off.

This is without a question the best! IMO. A little goes a long way. It’s creamy & not drying or oily. Stays on all day! Longer than any makeup I’ve ever had. It’s very lightweight and my skin feels moisturized and healthy. The quality and results are far better than so many others I’ve tried in stores, off social media. The price is reasonable too.

I’ve already shared with a couple of friends

Only thing I don’t love is the covers on each end come off easily but the attached brush works well

Normally these sticks are great (this is the 3rd one I’ve ordered) but this one came in completely damaged and I can’t even return it to replace it because the color I ordered isn’t available and there’s no way to contact the seller. Normally they work really well, color match is perfect and applying it is easy. The brush end will start to fall off and you need to keep adjusting it but overall the product is usually 4.5 stars for me but this one came broken and such a mess that I’m aggravated. Half of it’s stuck to the cap, the entire section of product fell out when I first opened it and it can be used if I use another makeup brush and dig it out but for almost $40, that’s ridiculous!

I have been eyeing this product for months. I've seen the TikTok videos and would find it hard to believe makeup could be that good. The color I chose was a bit too light for me; however, it still covered well and felt lightweight. I have extremely oily skin, and this makeup stayed on all day. I'm also a mature woman :) and it did fill in lines without looking cakey. It covered my rosacea very well too. I've paid twice as much for liquid makeup that didn't perform as well as this did. I would definitely recommend this product.

UPDATE: After trying this product more extensively, my opinion has definitely changed.

I ended up sending the first one back and kept the second, but neither shade worked for me (both were much too light) and this third one that I’m using now actually broke after the very first use. Also, it’s closer to my skin tone, but I still wouldn’t call it a perfect match. Now that I’ve actually spent more time using it, I’m just not a huge fan of the formula.

I honestly think it would be much better as a whole if they skipped the whole white “color-changing” gimmick and simply made it a normal foundation in the intended shade. The white base makes application unnecessarily difficult. The attached brush does a terrible job of blending it enough to break open the pigment capsules, so I usually end up having to use my hands/fingers and really work the product into my skin before it stops looking white and starts resembling my actual shade. And once it finally does change color, I’m still not crazy about the formula itself. It feels very thick, greasy, and heavy on my skin, without even full coverage, which is basically the opposite of what I originally thought when I first tried it. The more I’ve used it, the less I like how it feels.

The built-in brush is also disappointing. In theory, having the brush attached should make this convenient and mess-free, but in reality I find myself abandoning the brush and blending with my hands anyway. I really wanted to love this because the concept is fun, and when you finally get it blended out, the coverage can look decent. But after trying multiple shades, returning two of them, having one break immediately, struggling with the built-in brush, and finally finding a shade that’s only kind of right, I don’t think the formula or design lives up to the marketing. It doesn’t stay on good either. It just patchy and hard to wear/blend.

My original review after first seeing/trying it was: Just FYI — it is not actually “detecting” your skin tone like the marketing makes it seem. It uses tiny microencapsulated pigment beads that burst from the friction of blending, releasing iron oxide pigments that create the color. So it’s more of a cosmetic chemistry trick than a magic shade-matching formula. Even knowing that, I actually like the product, just wish it matched slightly better. The coverage is surprisingly good while still feeling incredibly lightweight on the skin. For me, it ended up being just a little too light of a shade, but that could be an easy fix with bronzer and blush to bring warmth back into my complexion. Overall, it’s comfortable to wear, looks natural, and is a fun product that performs better than I expected despite the “color-changing” claims. Oh, and like the other reviews, it came with the corner of it smashed. P.S.: the back of the box it came in has a cancer warning that has me just a little bit worried.
