Flower Beauty E.E. Erase Everything Ultimate Foundation Review

In my eyes, Drew Barrymore's Flower Beauty line can seriously do no wrong. Her products are high quality, made in the USA and cruelty free. I love the fact that they spend money on the putting the best ingredients into the products instead of spending it on advertising, and also that Drew herself is so involved in the creation of the products. I've been busy testing a slew of new Flower makeup that just launched for Spring 2016 (see my post here for all of the details) and I'm so excited about this one in particular I just couldn't wait to share it with you! 

It's called E.E. Erase Everything Ultimate Foundation ($12.98 at Walmart stores), but it's not really just a foundation...it's something totally new that I've never seen before. That's another thing I love about Flower Beauty...they have the coolest new formulas that no one else has (remember these powder-to-cream blushes? I'm obsessed!) So keep on reading and I'll explain everything...

E.E. Erase Everything comes in a tube with a brush attached to it, which is something new to me. The idea is that you squeeze the tube until the product comes up into the bristles, then brush it onto your skin. I like to start out that way, using the brush to apply it all over my face but I end up using my fingers to massage it in because it's much faster and the product absorbs better.

It comes in five shades: Sheer Tint (clear), Porcelain Tint, Ivory Tint, Buff Tint, and Honey Tint. Honestly, these are so sheer, you don't have to worry to much about an exact color match. I would go so far as to say this is more of a primer/EE Cream rather than a foundation. Unless you have perfect skin, you will probably want more coverage and will apply a foundation on top of this anyway. And if you do have perfect skin, this probably won't appeal to you because it's meant to fill in uneven texture, pores and fine lines while light-diffusing pigments blur imperfections.

You can choose the Sheer Tint, which goes on totally clear if you don't want or need an extra boost of color (if you're wearing a full coverage foundation, for example), but I like the colored ones because they do a good job of evening out my skin tone and hiding a little bit of the redness in my skin. This creates the perfect base so that when I add a medium coverage foundation on top I get a more flawless result, almost as if I were wearing more of a full coverage foundation, without the thick, cakey feeling.

E.E. Erase Everything is super thick and feels like a balm...but it's totally non-greasy and dries to a beautiful soft matte finish. When you're squeezing the product out into the brush, be careful not to release too much...go slow because you only need a little bit.

On the skin, it feels so velvety and soft, like you just applied a rich night cream- just without the heavy greasy feeling. It somehow sinks right in and fills in lines and pores leaving your face feeling smooth and even. I hate to even use this analogy, but it works like spackle on a wall (in a good way!).

If I'm having a good skin day, I can get away with using the colored version (I got Ivory Tint) by itself with a little concealer under my eyes and around my nose. It gives my skin a flawless texture so even though it doesn't cover everything (not flawless in that way) it makes my face look so smooth and soft, like it's been airbrushed.

The Ivory Tint shade, which is the second-to-lightest shade is a little too yellow for me and I probably should have gone with the porcelain but it's sheer so it blends in just fine. The Sheer Tint goes on white but turns clear as you blend it into your skin.

Overall, I'm blown away by the Flower Beauty E.E. cream. It's unlike anything else I own and I love, love, love the way it makes my skin look. For me, it's the perfect base for foundation...even in the winter when my skin is at it's driest, layering this underneath my foundation prevents it from caking, clinging to dry patches and settling into fine lines. I feel like I've been searching for a primer with this super-thick, balm-like texture forever! I'm curious to see how those of you with oily skin get along with this one because it's very thick and feels hydrating...but at the same time, it dries matte so it doesn't feel greasy. If you try it, let me know how you like it!
