Holiday makeup always gets a little chaotic, and I say that with love.
The glitter shadows! The berry lips! The liquid liners we swear we can apply symmetrically! Every year, the fun, festive products get all the attention. But behind the scenes, there’s another struggle happening for me. I’m a redhead, and in the summer, my face has warmth, depth, and freckles. But once the temperature drops and the sun clocks out at 4:30 PM, I fade back to my default setting of soft, ghostly pale. The seasonal shift is dramatic for me, so there’s always a bit of an awkward transition period where nothing matches and my summer foundation turns me bright orange.
But this year, I found a better fix in ELROEL, a K-beauty brand that’s rewriting the traditional rules of makeup. Instead of battling undertones and guessing shades, ELROEL creates skin makeup that literally adapts to you. Think: a color-changing makeup stick that starts as a soft white balm and transforms into a silky tinted cream that seamlessly matches your skin. It’s the holiday makeup hack I didn’t know I needed.
ELROEL’s innovations are designed to work with your skin, which explains why their color-adjusting formulas and featherlight textures feel so effortless, especially during the holiday season when everyone’s skin is dehydrated, dull, or going through weather-induced identity crises (hi, it’s me). Right now, their Black Friday sale gets you up to 40% off sitewide, so it’s the perfect time to stock up on skin-forward essentials that’ll help make your complexion look glow-y and airbrushed.
Here’s what’s in my cart.
ELROEL BLANC Cover Cream Stick V ($24.27)
The BLANC Cover Cream Stick V totally sums up ELROEL’s “skin-first, tech-forward” approach to makeup and makes shade-matching so much easier. At 40% off right now, buying it is a no-brainer.
It starts as a soft white balm and transforms into a silky tinted cream as you blend. The color shift is triggered by tiny collagen capsules that burst on contact with your skin, creating a shade that adjusts to your tone and melts in seamlessly, so there’s no more guessing undertones and panic-blending. The formula is also loaded with skin-loving ingredients like Volufiline (20,000ppm), Hydrolyzed Collagen, Adenosine, and Niacinamide to keep your complexion hydrated, plump, and glowing all day.
Plus, application is foolproof thanks to its dual-ended packaging. One side houses the foundation stick; the other features a detachable brush packed with 32,000 ultra-fine German bristles for the kind of smooth, airbrushed blend you usually need a full kit to achieve.
Pang Pang Sun Cushion ($19.99)
If you’ve ever tried to reapply sunscreen over makeup and ended up with a streaky, greasy, “why did I even bother?” situation, ELROEL’s Pang Pang Sun Cushion is for you. Now 30% off for Black Friday, this K-beauty staple is designed to make SPF reapplication as easy and mess-free as a couple of quick pats.
Instead of squeezing out a liquid sunscreen and hoping for the best, you just tap the cushion puff into the compact and press it onto your skin. The lightweight formula absorbs instantly, leaves zero white cast (seriously, none), and sits beautifully over makeup without pilling, smearing, or changing your finish. It’s broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection powered by a blend of physical and mineral filters, so you’re actually covered.
But what really sets this sun cushion apart is its cooling effect. The formula includes ELROEL’s proprietary plant-derived cooling complex, which drops the skin’s temperature by a wild 40.46°F on application. With 41% Aloe Vera Leaf Juice plus Violet Flower, Elm Tree, Yam Root, and Kelp Extract, it soothes heat, calms irritation, and helps fight thermal aging (AKA the often-overlooked skin stress caused by heat exposure). Hydration is another huge bonus. Thanks to Squalane and Centella Asiatica Extract, the cushion delivers up to 72 hours of moisture, keeping your skin comfortable, bouncy, and radiant, even in the middle of wintertime.
Blending Cushion 4-in-1 Korean Cushion Foundation with Italian Caviar ($30.40)
ELROEL’s Blending Cushion is your shortcut to a flawless, fresh-faced look, all in one compact.
This 4-in-1 formula combines tone-up cream, concealer, and foundation, giving you smooth, even coverage with a pro-level finish that lasts up to 12 hours. It’s infused with skin-loving ingredients like Hibiscus Flower Water, Sea Buckthorn Water, Vitamin B12, Royal Jelly, and Silk Extract to hydrate, soften, and boost radiance throughout the day.
You can choose from different shades, all designed to blur dullness and illuminate skin with its unique blend of light-reflecting powders. And thanks to the included puff applicator, application is quick, easy, and completely fuss-free. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a fresh, dewy finish with minimal effort (and honestly, isn’t that all of us?).
As we dive into the biggest shopping week of the year, ELROEL makes it easier than ever to refresh your routine with smart staples you’ll actually use. So go ahead: treat yourself, gift a friend, and step into the holidays with skin that looks (and feels) incredible!
