ABOUT ME:

My name is Shelly and I’m a 41-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. Come along for the ride as I figure out which products work and look good on fair, dry skin that is starting to show the sins of its youth… fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and all that good stuff.

Swatch time! Here's the @elfcosmetics Elf Camo CC Swatch time! Here's the @elfcosmetics Elf Camo CC Cream in 150C Fair swatched against a few others in my collection. The Elf leans toward that peachy-cool undertone, similar to the Double Wear in 1C1 Cool Bone (not pictured). I found the photos on the Elf web site to be a bit misleading; it definitely looks like a pink undertone in their photos.
