Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Makeup SPF15 in 250N 30ml

Beautiful foundation, creamy and hydrating. It’s expensive, but in my opinion, well worth it. They have changed all the colours to numbers which makes it very difficult to choose from a photo. I contacted Elizabeth Arden who gave me the number which coinsides with my colour. They were very good. All in all, a. Eye good product.

I was sent this foundation to try in shade 320N. Sadly it's slightly too light for me. I have brown skin and would normally use caramel shades, and this is a bit lighter than that and/or has a cool undertone to it which looks a little too pale (maybe even ashy?) on my skin. I use Elizabeth Arden powder in Medium / Deep, and would say that 320N is slightly lighter than that.That said, this is still a beautiful product. The packaging, with the glass jar, looks gorgeous. It's relatively small for the price, but a little goes a long way, even for medium coverage. The foundation itself spreads and blends very easily, and can be built up for full coverage. Not sure about the lifting and firming claims, but the inclusion of spf for sun protection is great. Lasts the whole day with ease though on my skin (normal-dry) I feel it looks a bit shiny after a few hours.

Obviously its very important to get the right skin tone, as the one that was supplied was quite dark, although easily adjusted with a lighter moisturiser.Being from Elizabeth Arden, you know that you are getting a premium product, and this Ceramide Lift and Firm does not disappoint.The wife loves the fact that the creamy foundation, provides good coverage, and is easily absorbed into the skin, with the extra benefit of providing some skin protection with its SPF 15.Whilst it may seem expensive, the fact that you require so little each time, means that the product will last for quite a while.Being a Ceramide based foundation, does indeed help the skin retain its natural moisture, and thus, does actually make the wife's face feel firmer and less dry. throughout the day.To be absolutely honest, the wife has never had an Elizabeth Arden product, that she hasn't liked, and this one is no exception, so easy to recommend it to anyone that needs or wants a quality product, that provides all the benefits that it claims.

I guess like a lot of people I have been stuck in my ways going back again and again to the same brand of makeup, and so I was interested to see what this was like - especially given the premium price.It's a very small pot - the clever glass packaging makes it look like you get more - but.... The coverage is excellent and you really only need a small amount.The coverage is good, easy to get even, and blends really well with no sticky residue. I also found that it didn't leave any dry patches as the day went on.It may be expensive but with this little pot you certainly get your money's worth and I think I will be switching brands having given it a try!

I'm sure the product itself is fine . But this one looks opened and used. Not acceptable to arrive like that. Will return

This foundation cream provides full coverage whilst the additional ingredient of ceramide helps to lift & firm the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.It feels lightweight on the skin & doesn’t crease, it also contains sun protection factor 15 to reduce the risk of damage caused by exposure to the sun.It comes in a twist top glass jar which makes application much easier than the long glass type tubes which do not allow direct access to the contents inside, this allows you to use all of the product before requiring a replacement which is better for the environment & for your wallet.I really like the consistency of this make up which feels like a moisturising cream combined with a foundation make up.

I was searching for something to keep my skin hydrated throughout the day after my morning routine and came across suggestions for this product. As someone currently using tretinoin and experiencing extremely dry skin, this product has been a lifesaver. It truly does instantly hydrate the skin and soothe any itchiness and tightness that the dry skin causes. Additionally, my lips have been particularly dry, so I sometimes mist a small amount of this product on them before applying lip balm, and it has worked wonders for that too. However, this product does leave a dewy shine sometimes, and I noticed they have a matte cream version as well, so I may try that since I'm not a huge fan of the dewy look.

This is the best foundation I have ever used. It goes on lightly, and requires only a small amount, as it blends with ease and great coverage. It did not leave my skin oily or sheeny. My skin felt really hydrated after use, and my skin looked great all day. Another bonus of this product, is that there is no fragrance. I would highly recommend this product.

Okay, I am writing this product review blind (not referencing the listing as I usually do) because I feel like that will be the most USEFUL for a makeup product.The color I got, which I’ll add that to the review if it doesn’t automatically display, is really nice! It was the lighter COOL shade. Unfortunately, I’m actually MORE fair than the lightest cool shade, but I think I can make it work! When applied more thickly, it looks quite dark. But it can be easily sheered out which lightens the color! I also found that, despite it looking quite dark on me when initially applied, it oxidized and became much closer to my skin color!! For reference, I am 1N0 cool porcelain in Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation!I like that the coverage with this is so customizable. I’m a full coverage girlie, but I love that I can wear it as more of a light skin tint when I feel so inclined! It really evens out my skin tone, and personally I really enjoy the finish. I also love how it’s applied - I use a makeup sponge but you could definitely use a brush!!I haven’t worn it long enough to attest to its longevity, but once I have I will update this review. I will also try and remember to take pictures of the full face application with artificial and natural lighting!I think this product is a pretty safe buy - it’s quite versatile and be worn to your personal preferences! Really only issue from my perspective is there just aren’t enough shades.I would buy this product, I would recommend it to a friend, and I would purchase it as a gift if I thought a knew the right shade for that person!

This cream is very thick. The color blends well into my skin. It does settle into my fine lines, which I don’t like too much. It works great in moderation under my eyes. I use this lightly and blend with a spf too. I can’t tell of lifting and firming, but it is very full coverage.

The formula of this makeup is incredible. It's so light and airy, so creamy and hydrating, the coverage is so blendable and buildable. There is absolutely nothing that I dislike about this, at all, and I am super picky about foundations. I give this all the stars for the formula!!!This stays on all day long and has a beautiful natural finish. Unlike many "hydrating" foundations I have tried this "dries down" immediately. It doesn't feel tacky or sticky for a minute. It won't smear or run, even in the heat and humidity. It makes my skin look so smooth and youthful. There's no way I could be more pleased!I have for years alternated between Bareminerals and Lancome, as I need a product that doesn't dry my skin, isn't full coverage because I have freckles, but does offer decent coverage, that looks natural and blends easily. I used Lancome's Teint Miracle (140 for winter/220 for summer), but they discontinued it and I have since been using Bareminerals BAREPRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation (in either Aspen or Sateen).This formula is even more hydrating, while still offering great coverage and fast easy application. Sadly the colors here are lighter than what I would have expected. I opted to go with 140C since that is the "winter" color I wear in Lancome. It is far far too light for me. I would love to repurchase this, but I'm not sure what color I would go with. I would not go up just one color. I think I would try the 240. It would really help if there were more color swatches and photos of individuals in each shade.

Product came open and used

This makeup works really well for my skin. It is a thicker cream in the jar but it spreads out to a thin nice finish and I don't find that it settles in creases. I always apply a great moisturizer with sunscreen or a moisturizing sunscreen beforehand and my foundation looks better in general. This is full coverage but buildable if you want a lighter or heavy layer. I apply my foundation with my fingers so the jar is fine with me.The color is nice on my skin and it matches well, especially considering I picked it from a screen versus in person. I went in the range of what I normally wear in other foundations. Next time, I may go up one from a Cool to a Neutral, especially for summer.I have a foundation that I have used for years and get compliments on. They changed the formula recently and I have been looking for something else. I asked people that knew me if they can tell a difference in my makeup and they can't. There is no added fragrance and I don't notice any scent, and that has been hard for me to find in foundations.
