If you want a more defined intense contour, the darker shades in this palette also offers you the ability to work and build them up to your own desired shades for 'carving out your face'.ĭry Skin: If you have very dry skin, I would try to steer clear of this product or any powder contours. Also, I would definitely recommend this palette for you, over a cream contour, as creams can accentuate the oiliness on your skin and could leave your skin feeling heavy, or cakey. A powder contour like this blends out well, and leaves your skin with a matte finish, as opposed to the dewy finish you would get with a cream contour. Oily Skin: This is a great contour palette for you, especially for the price. ![]() I did notice that the shades did eventually fade throughout the day so perhaps looking into a setting spray after applying your makeup in the morning, might help to keep the product on longer, especially for the summer months. The products blended out well and didn't make my skin feel heavy throughout the day. The bottom two darker shades did a much better when I swatched them and had no trouble transferring in one or two swipes.Īpplying the makeup on my face was easy and left me with a more natural looking matte contour. Both of the lighter shades didn't transfer as well as I was hoping they would, and needed a few swipes with some pressure before the shades would show up on my skin. The same with the yellow/orange shade (top right), though for me that one felt a little less chalky than the previous. My first finger swatch of each shade was okay, they all initially felt smooth but the lightest one (top left) felt a bit chalky. There are four shades, two lighter shades that can be used for highlighting, and the two darker matte shades for contouring (one warm and one cool). ![]() Natural hair brushes are easier to use with powder products than synthetic brushes. I would apply these shades with a wet beauty sponge or a makeup brush with natural hairs. It's a nice size palette and easy to pack for travelling or in your purse for everyday. The pans are a good size, especially for the price (I paid $7.99 plus tax). I would much prefer and recommend the XX Revolution Cream Bronzer, which gives highend cream bronzers a run for their money.īUY HERE: ULTA / ELF US / ELF UK All images belong to me.When I first opened this palette, I was happy to see a full mirror on the top side and the four powder shades directly below. For £6 it’s OK – not the best bronzer I’ve tried, but it is a drugstore bronzer, so it’s nice and affordable. My favourite method of application is a beauty sponge, as it’s effective at applying a light yet even layer, and doesn’t disturb your foundation underneath. However, if you prefer an intense bronze or contour, the ELF Putty Bronzer Feelin Shady shade might not be a good pick for you, as it’s very sheer and natural. The ELF Putty Bronzer is a lot sheerer than I thought it would be, and does need to be built up, which isn’t necessarily a negative, as you can go for a subtle bronze. I don’t mind a subtle glow from a cream product, but it’s a touch *too* shiny for my liking, and I find myself applying translucent powder over the top to try and tone down the almost greasy skin looking glow. The formula supposedly contains argan oil, which I guess is what gives the bronzer to be ‘shiny’ on the skin. This ELF Putty Contour a lot dewier than I thought it would be. It’s a nice cool toned, light bronzer which works both as a bronzer, and as a contour shade on skin as fair as mine too. ![]() I chose the ELF Putty Bronzer in the shade ELF Feelin Shady, which is the palest shade from the eight ELF Putty Bronzer shades available. That actually surprised me as the jar feels tiny, but 10g is a decent amount of product, especially for only £6. The ELF Cream Bronzer is packaged within a clear plastic jar, with a black lid, and you get 10g of product. Other drugstore brands could definitely take note, with brands like Maybelline or L’Oreal thinking two shades of bronzer is sufficient for all skintones. It’s so inclusive, and the shade range looks fantastic, with super light and super deep shades. The ELF Putty Bronzer is available in eight different shades, which is amazing for a drugstore brand. Plus, it’s infused with Argan Oil and Vitamin E for moisturizing, nourishing, and skin-loving benefits while you glow.“ The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and highly pigmented, letting you build an all-over warm complexion or just a kiss of golden hour contour. This ELF Bronzer Putty is an unique creamy putty-to-powder bronzer effortlessly blends and blurs into skin, delivering a natural bronzing effect with a smooth, semi-matte finish. “ Bask in that sun-kissed, back-from-vacation glow all year round.
