HG means Holy Grail. So if someone says that they've found their HG foundation, it means that it's the best foundation they've ever had.

Yes that's it, the low-end brands are the drugstore, cheaper stuff and the high-end are the pricey brands.

A new one I've seen on here is ELF. Does that stand for something or is that the actual name?

Elf actually stands for Eyes Lips Face It's the name of a cheap makeup brand.
