Ellis Faas S104 Skin Veil SPF 15 Product Info

By Martine 4 weeks ago.

I’d give all the Ellis Faas foundations 5* in terms of natural, impossible to detect coverage, very easy application and travel friendliness. The company is very good about sending samples, so you can try before you buy.
Where I take off a star is the colour match! S104 is definitely a medium shade, not a light medium in my book. I used to wear it when I wasn’t careful enough about SPF, and got a suntan despite my best efforts (now I use SPF 30 and up from the La Roche Posay range, and I don’t tan any more). S104 is great if you have a medium complexion tending towards the olive or yellow end of the spectrum. It is buildable from light (one pass) to medium (two passes) and is still undetectable.
Although all the Ellis Faas foundations come in a translucent glass bottle, with a bit of twisting, you can remove the glass bottle and all that’s left is the inner plastic bag, which is hermetically sealed and collapses as you use up the foundation. You can use the foundation up to the last (expensive!) drop and not waste any this way. Also, it’s more travel friendly – it’s never leaked in my experience, even on airplanes – and you don’t have to worry about shattering the glass bottle if you accidentally drop it.
