Does ELF cosmetics contain any bad ingredients?

Their brand is cheap, but is actually good, which makes me suspicious of why its so cheap. Does it contain anything bad?Does ELF cosmetics contain any bad ingredients?
The above answerer in this section named 'Sara' is wrong. E.L.F. currently does NOT test on animals. You can read more about it on eyeslipsface.com....obviously she has her facts jacked up.





There are no bad ingredients in ELF cosmetics. The answerer in this section named 'Starviolet beauty' pretty much covered why ELF is so affordable. I love ELF, I just wish they made more variety of products %26amp; colors.Does ELF cosmetics contain any bad ingredients?
The reason it's cheap is because:


1) They spend as little as possible on packaging (you'd be surprised at how much the cost of packaging can add up to)


2) They have very low overhead costs due to being an internet-based company (they don't have to pay for counter space, retail assistants, etc)


3) They spend little on marketing (their main driver of awareness is word-of-mouth and online arenas such as YouTube)


4) The amount of product you get in many cases is rather small (which is not always such a bad thing, as it lowers the price and means you can try lots of different items).





I'm not sure what you mean by ';bad'; ingredients, but ELF's ingredients are safe to use so there shouldn't be any concern about that.
Really its good? Have you tried the Mineral Foundation? I want to try it.
Marissa,





The cheap packaging is not the only thing cheap. Try cheap ingredients. I tried them 2yrs ago, purchased a blush set and in about a month threw it away, too powdery, color pigmentation varied. You really get what you pay for.





Look at it this way: Would you go to an elegant dinner function wearing $20 of walmart clothes? Likely not. The same applies to makeup. Cheap makeup does not make you look good, just cheap. People can tell good makeup from cheap garbage. I guess if you are 11 you can start out with elf. But if you are a young woman, look to something a little more elegant. Plus they are made in China. After viewing youtube video on how Chinese test on animals like dogs/cats/rabbits/monkeys is inexcusable. No secret the Chinese are not exactly pet friendly. Sorry, but I don't want a poor animal to be tortured so that I can buy cheap garbage makeup. I don't want that on my conscience. Buying cheap makeup just continues the violent cycle. I know some makeup users simple don't care but I do. So you know.
