e.l.f. Contouring blush and Bronzing powder (shade- Turks & Caicos)

Hi lovelies!

Today I am going to write about my favorite contouring powder. It is the e.l.f. contouring blush and bronzer in shade Turks and Caicos. I do not use the blush that much although it is a pretty wearable shade. It is just that I have other favorite blushes. But the bronzer is very pigmented and just the right shade for my NC 42-44 skin tone. I use this bronzer for contouring cheek bone, hairline, nose and jawline. 

What the website says:

Create a healthy and natural glow all year long with the Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder. The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color, while the Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition. This convenient compact has just what you need to achieve a gorgeous glow anytime, anywhere.”


Some main features:
  • Price: $3
  • Blush is a very pretty natural pink color.
  • Bronzer is very pigmented
  • Nice packaging with a huge mirror inside it
  • Have to use the bronzer light handedly. It is better to use stippling brush or fan brush or any other fluffy brush.
  • Staying power is 5/6 hours without any setting spray. 

Cons:

  • It is powdery so you have to tap before applying
  • The bronzer is so pigmented that if you apply it with a heavy hand it can look over done



 Here are some before and after pictures:

 Left pic is without any contour and right one is contoured cheek with elf bronzer. I love the result!

Swatch of the bronzer. it does not came out nice on my camera though. 




Packaging






Nice sleek packaging which does not look cheap at all!


Huge full size mirror inside. 



To me it’s a hit. I love to use it as it is very pigmented and it shows perfectly on my NC 42/44 skin.
