Bronzers: e.l.f Studio Bronzer Palette Review
 |
| You can find this Palette available on eyeslipsface website! |
Okay, this palette looks beautiful, doesn't it? Look at it! Classic sleek, black packaging, beautiful array of different color bronzers, and to top it off, a huge mirror. All for $6.00!!!!!...
...Too bad the bronzers themselves didn't live up to its beautiful exterior. Number one complaint is not enough color! I had to pack on layer after layer to finally get some color to show on my face. The positive side of this is that you get a nice natural-looking, tanned look, but the down side, you have to pack a lot on...can we say cocoa-powder cake-face alert!
Let's take a closer look at the colors.
There are two matte bronzers and two gold-shimmer bronzers, and yes the swatches on my arm look amazing, but in reality, trying to build enough color to show up on my skin with a powder brush was a project on its own. I did find the shimmer bronzers to have more pigment and are a bit easier to work with than the matte bronzers. The Matte bronzers felt like a brick and very dry, and it was hard to sweep any any powder up with a brush.
So I am a bit torn about this palette. It may have taken me a long time to get that sun kissed look, but once I did, my skin had a nice healthy tan look to it and it stayed on my skin for a good while. It was a great concept on e.l.f's part to come up with a palette like this, but for girls that have my skin tone or darker will only be frustrated with the color payoff. I think what e.l.f needs to do is to come out with another set of bronzers with darker shades, maybe even change the formula a bit to a softer formula. For this palette in particular, I can only see fair skin users enjoying this piece.

I think its good to have every kind of bronzer in one palette. :)
ReplyDeleteIt does look versatile doesn't it? I wish it was a bit more pigmented.
