My experience:-
The palette comes in a cardboard packaging with magnetic closure. It consists of 4 highlighting powders( 2 shimmery, 2 mattes), 2 contour powders, 1 bronzer, and 1 blush. The palette has a mirror but it has no brush.

All the highlighting, contour, bronzer and blush powder are super pigmented. The texture of each powder is soft and they are very easy to blend. There is hardly any fallout I noticed.

There are two shimmery highlighters and two matte one. The shimmer one perfect for highlighting cheekbone while the matte one can be used under eye area to set concealer or to brighten up under eye area.The shimmery highlighters have subtle shimmers in it which can be buildable. But no matter how heavy handed you apply those highlighters you will never go overboard (they don't create the blinding highlighting effect on skin). They don't enhance the pores of the skin and gives a very sheen glow on highlighting part of the face. So definitely the highlighters are worth trying.

Coming to the contour powder, the palette has one warm tone and one cool tone contour powder, along with that there is a matte bronzer (yes you can say the third contour powder can be used as a bronzer). All the shades are super pigmented so it is suggested to apply these contour powder light-handed.

Lastly, the blush is a beautiful pink color matte texture blush which will look good on fair to medium skin tone beauties. It might washout on duskier skin tones. The texture of the blush is super soft and again it is also super pigmented.

Overall the palette although named as highlighter and contour palette but it is a complete palette of highlighters, contour powders, bronzer, and blush. If the money is not a concern for you then definitely this palette is worth buying as you don't need to carry any of these separately while traveling. This one palette and you are sorted.

So that's all for today...Until next time stay blessed.

REVIEW & SWATCHES ELF POWDER BLUSH PALETTE (LIGHT).

Hey everyone,
Today I am going to review ELF powder blush palette in shade light. ELF is an affordable international brand after Colourpop cosmetics.

Price:- $6.
Availability:- Instagram sellers, elf website here. Amazon

A little more info about ELF powder blush palette:-
Enjoy 4 complementing shades that allow you to mix and match to create different looks. Create a beautifully pigmented look that lasts all day. 

How to use:-

• Use the shades individually or create your own custom blush by swirling a blush brush over your chosen shades.
•  Apply the blush to the apples of the cheeks and blend out using circular motions.
•  The formulas can also be worn as eyeshadow.

Ingredients:-
 
Mica, Talc, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Silica, Nylon-12, PTFE, Zinc Stearate, Dimethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate (Ve)
May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Red 6 Lake (CI 15850), Red 28 Lake (CI 45410).

Packaging:-
 
The blush palette comes in a square magnetic sleek black color case. The palette has no brush but it has a mirror enclosed with it. The palette has a magnetic closure that securely closes the palette. It is a cruelty-free brand so a big thumbs up for this brand.

My experience:-

ELF powder blush palette comes in two shade: light and dark. As I am NC 30 so I picked up the shade light. The palette has two pink shades, one coral and another one is mauve kind off the shade. All the four shades have the buttery texture. They blend smoothly on skin without much effort. The blush palette is highly pigmented for which one has to be careful while applying the blushes. The blushes stay pretty 8+ hours during winters but it fades away within 5 hours during summer if you sweat a lot(otherwise it stay one or two hours more). Among the four blushes in the palette, three shades are matte while one has subtle shimmers on it. The size of the pan of each blush is huge for which it will last forever.

My thought:-

I just love this blush palette as this one has 4 variety of shades that can be used as eyeshadows and blushes too(like the brand suggested). Moreover, the price of the palette is affordable and due to its sleek packaging, it is easy to carry anywhere.

Overall, ELF powder blush palette is a good investment for makeup beginners or makeup lovers who want to try different blushes in affordable price.
