My favorite shade? The pinky coral in the bottom right corner.Īs you can see there is nothing wrong with these blushes pigmentation wise. The neutral shade is too brown and dark to be a blush on me and too orange to be a bronzer. The two pinks look too similar in a swatch and aren’t shades I wear very often. The dark seemed a bit too out there for me, but it may have been a better choice. Unfortunately there is only one shade in here I truly love, but it’s also a good one. Of the two blush palettes, I own the lightest one. I prefer to apply my contours with the ELF Small Stipple brush and that goes perfectly with this contour powder. I find these apply well and are easy to blend without making them disappear on the skin completely. The darkest two shades not only look the best against my skin tone, they are also the smoother powders in this palette. The swatches tell you everything else that you need to know. The white is too stark and chalky and while the banana powder works well enough, it just isn’t my favorite. The two lighter shades in the palette are not for me. The shades are perfect for my light skin tone. Who doesn’t love a good budget contour palette?! I know I do! My two favorite shades are the bronzer and contour in this palette. It is also too orange for a bronzer, so that is another one I’d skip. The matte white isn’t really my cup of tea and the darkest shade is too dark to contour or highlight with for me. The swatches may look quite bland at first sight, but if you scroll down you’ll find the pink shade applied to my face. They are a touch powdery, but that also makes them easy to blend. The quality of these powders is stunning. You get 4 shades, of which one is matte, one has a satin finish and the other two have more of a punch to them. If you’re looking for a decent quality drugstore dupe of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders, than this is it. This is filled with highlighters, but most of them are fairly subtle. Not that handy, but the packaging is sturdy and you receive a good sized mirror in the lid. The other two are exactly the same and only have a itty bitty sticker on the back to identify which is which. Each one is identical, save for the illuminating palette: that has a sticker with the name of the product on the front. This is what the actual palettes look like. Nothing too special and if you’ve seen beauty product displays in the US, then you will be familiar with the hole punched into the packaging that is used to hang up the products. The PackagingĮach palette comes in a separate cardboard box. The highlight and contour palettes only in one and are only available from the ELF website in The Netherlands. The blush and bronzer palettes are available in 2 shades. The palettes come in cream or powder textures and contain blushes, bronzers, highlighters and other face products. The pans can be popped out, though you do need a little bit of force to do so, and so you can easily customize your ideal face palette once you have a few. (blush in the middle not included in review)įor 8 euros each, you receive a 4 pan pallete that contains 16 grams of product. Illuminating, Contour (light), Blush (light) The item that intrigued me the most? The face palettes. Then when I randomly checked the ELF website one day, I found all the bits I was curious after and bought some. I heard so many people rave about some of their newer releases and I couldn’t get my hands on them. Since the European website is about a year behind on what is available in The States, this is something that easily happens. ELF is such an affordable make up brand and it had been yonks since I had tried some of their products.
