I tried the viral Elroel foundation stick — it takes a minute to blend, but it turns from clown white into my skin tone
Every so often, a beauty product goes viral for all the right reasons — and recently, the Elroel Blanc Cover Cream Stick, an innovative color-changing foundation from Korea, has been making the rounds on TikTok and Instagram. Almost magically, its stark-white pigment blends away to match the wearer's skin tone virtually perfectly. While it may seem that the white, almost chalk-like consistency would be too thick or caky for everyday wear, the result seems to be ultra-glowy skin with beautiful, non-patchy coverage and a scarily accurate color match. In other words: the internet's glam-loving girls are going positively feral. Here, I set out to see if the unique foundation stick is worth the hype (or if it's instead a gimmick that's simply too good to be true). It costs $27 on Amazon and comes in six adaptable shades Olivia Rose Rushing/Business Insider The buzzy foundation stick comes in six adaptable shades, from their lightest "200 Fair" to the darkest "205 Deep." As is true with many Korean cosmetic brands, the shade range doesn't encompass as many hues as American ones (think Fenty Beauty's industry-shifting fifty foundation hues). Because of this, I'm unsure if this will work for those with the deepest complexions. I ordered shade "201 Fair." When I first opened the box, I loved how simple and sleek the packaging was. What's more, the ultra-soft built-in brush actually felt like something I would use — especially when traveling with makeup. Upon my first application, the product felt a lot creamier on my skin than expected. I immediately disliked its powdery floral scent — which thankfully doesn't come from any added perfume — it's more likely due to the jasmine and evening primrose oils. Still, the heavy fragrance is my least favorite aspect of the formula. Before and after blending out the color-changing foundation Just like the viral TikTok videos, I couldn't believe how intensely stark white the color was swatched against my complexion (and I'm quite fair to begin with). That being said, it started to blend away relatively effortlessly, slowly but surely revealing an impressive color match that's hard to find in a foundation. While I initially thought that the built-in brush would be a major win, I did find that it took much longer than I prefer to spend blending my base makeup. Because of that, I probably wouldn't use it again, unless I was traveling or in a pinch as it did a good enough job. It matched my skin tone beautifully, but I just can't get past the scent It goes without saying that the color match is almost exact, and with a surprising amount of coverage that doesn't require you to layer more swipes of foundation. And as many have noted online, the final result is a soft-matte finish with a pretty glow that appears healthy and nourished thanks to efficacious ingredients like niacinamide. In that regard: I totally understand the hype. I also loved how this foundation worked well with my current product lineup, like my go-to cream-to-powder blush that's coloring my cheeks. Though honestly, despite its light finish, it was weighed down by the lingering powdery jasmine aroma. The bottom line The Elroel foundation stick does exactly what it promises: it swipes on white, blends into skin for a wow-worthy color match, and leaves you looking youthfully dewy. It never made my skin look too textured or caky, and overall, the formula is lightweight and wears well throughout the day. That said, my main gripes are the limited shade range — especially for those with darker skin tones — and the scent, which is a personal preference but important to note. Because of that, it hasn't replaced my current foundation, though it might just end up being someone else's new holy grail.

‘Butterfly' Star Piper Perabo on Why Playing the Villain Was ‘Relaxing' and Hoping for a Second Season: ‘I Want Even More Guns'
SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from 'Butterfly' Season 1, now streaming on Prime Video. Piper Perabo can get used to playing villains. More from Variety 'Smoke' Star Jurnee Smollett on Killing [SPOILER] and Filming That Harrowing Car Scene With Taron Egerton 'Surrounded by Fire': 'Your Adrenaline Is Rushing' Daniel Dae Kim on 'Butterfly,' the One Stunt He Wasn't Allowed to Do and the Success of 'KPop Demon Hunters': It Wouldn't Have Been 'Made Even 10 Years Ago' 'Drive My Car' Star Nishijima Hidetoshi Leads Prime Video Japanese Mystery 'Human Specimens' In the new Prime Video action-packed spy series 'Butterfly,' Perabo is Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea. 'Playing the villain is so much fun,' Perabo tells me. 'I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they don't have to give up the great parts. I think it's so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, there's no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. It's very relaxing.' 'Butterfly,' based on the graphic novel series of the same name, follows David (Daniel Dae Kim), Juno's former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (Reina Hardesty). David had left Rebecca in Juno's care nine years earlier when he faked his death after one of his missions went terribly wrong. Juno not only raised Rebecca, but she trained her to be a blood thirsty assassin. 'I like how clear Juno's sense of purpose is,' Perabo says. 'I always think of her like when you were a kid and you're on the athletic fields and there's this parent on the sidelines who's screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. That's who I think Juno is.' In 'Butterfly's' 6-episode premiere season, Juno tries to win Rebecca back when David, with his new wife and young daughter in tow, convinces Rebecca to escape to Vietnam for a new life. Both. I'm usually the one who's assassinating people [Perabo starred on USA Network's 'Covert Affairs' as a CIA agent for five seasons], so it's weird to just point and tell others to kill people, but I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe I'll come back to the assassinations if I am given a chance. Right? And he even took the time to have another wife and another daughter. I know David thought he was protecting Rebecca, but I think she was better off with me. I think it's better over at Juno's house. Why? I have a lot more money. You can work for me and make your own money. It's very healthy over at Juno's house compared David's. It's not safe. There are a lot of secrets. Juno's is much more nine-to-five. I was shocked, but also I was excited, because I feel like it leaves us in a really yummy place. I think this series has a lot of tentacles that can spread out and move in a lot of different directions. One of the things that was fun about being at Comic-Con with 'Butterfly' was that Marvel and DC are amazing and have legacies and a depth of all these myths, but it's so much fun to be in a new universe. When I read the last episode, I was excited because I thought this leaves a lot of open windows. Juno doesn't trust anybody, even her own son Oliver [Louis Landau], and she figures out a way to kind of live with you anyway. Juno's not gonna burn the bridge just because you screwed her over. There's a lot more juice in that orange, so let's not just throw everything away. Like I said, Juno has this clear sense of purpose. It would be foolish to get rid of Rebecca. Juno doesn't eat very much. Juno doesn't like to consume very much. Everything has to be so controlled. And then [showrunner Ken Woodruff] said, 'When you finally get Rebecca, you are going to be able to just relax and have a burger.' And I was like, 'Oh, really? OK, we're gonna need a lot of burgers.' A lot. No, I ate them all. I think she probably showers in them. It's very out of the armored car and into the private jet. Very cab to curb. A lot, a lot, a lot. Even in the opening of the first episode of Rebecca in the hotel. I remember the costume fittings for that when Reina, who plays Rebecca, was like, 'The strap of the purse needs to be this long if I need to strangle him, but I also have to have my entire [getaway] hotel outfit in the purse.' I was like, 'This is my kind of fitting.' A little bit. In my case, we talked a little bit about Juno's hopes and dreams. I want to put her in the worst situation possible and watch her dig her way out. I want even more guns. [Laughs]. There's no update. A couple of days ago, somebody did call me and told me to stop talking about it. I probably shouldn't say that either, but it's all really fun.

Ronnie Rondell Jr., Stuntman Set on Fire for Pink Floyd's ‘Wish You Were Here' Cover, Dies at 88
Ronnie Rondell Jr., a veteran Hollywood stuntman best known for being set on fire for the cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album, has died. He was 88. Rondell Jr. passed away on Tuesday (Aug. 12) at a senior living facility in Osage Beach, Mo., his family announced, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A cause of death was not given. More from Billboard Gone But Not Forgotten: Musicians We Lost in 2025 The 50 Greatest Pink Floyd Songs: Critic's Picks Pink Floyd Land First U.K. No. 1 Album in Over a Decade with 'Live at Pompeii' Throughout his decades-long career, Rondell Jr. appeared in numerous films, including How the West Was Won (1962), Lethal Weapon (1987) and The Matrix Reloaded (2003). To music fans, however, he is most famously remembered as the man engulfed in flames on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1975 album, Wish You Were Here. The striking image was shot on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Calif., and features a half-burning Rondell Jr. shaking hands with fellow stuntman Danny Rogers, both dressed in business suits. 'I'd been doing a lot of fire work in those days, and I had the special suits and all this stuff for fully enveloped fire,' Rondell Jr. recalled in the documentary Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here (via Rolling Stone). 'It was pretty easy to do, not too life-threatening, and paid well.' The iconic photo, created by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell of the English art design group Hipgnosis, took around 15 attempts to shoot due to wind and other factors — and even resulted in Rondell Jr. having part of his eyebrow and mustache burned off. 'We repeated the process 14 times, took the shot, and then on the 15th a gust of wind blew up and wrapped the fire around his face and burnt him,' Powell told The Guardian in 2020. 'He threw himself to the ground and his whole team piled on blankets to put him out.' He added, 'I knew I had got a special picture. It took a long time to persuade Ronnie to stand exactly as I wanted but in the end he was very brave and it was a perfect composition.' Rondell Jr.'s extensive list of film credits includes Kings of the Sun (1963), Shenandoah (1965), Grand Prix (1966), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Blazing Saddles (1974), To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), They Live (1988), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Thelma & Louise (1991), Last Action Hero (1993), Speed (1994) and The Crow (1994). He also worked as a stunt coordinator on several Aaron Spelling-produced television series, including The Rookies, S.W.A.T., Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, Dynasty, Vegas, Hart to Hart and T.J. Hooker, according to THR. Rondell Jr. retired in 2000 but returned to perform in a chase scene for The Matrix Reloaded (2003), where his son R.A. Rondell was the supervising stunt coordinator.
