E.L.F Studio Bronzer in Warm


This is a fabulous all in one compact. You can do so much more then just bronze.

Product Description:Create a healthy looking glow all year round! The sheer soft powders provide the perfect hue of color. Blend all 4 colors together to achieve a blend of perfection or choose your favorite color or colors to mix, match and blend.

My Experience:
The bronzer contains 4 individual shades with in the palette. Each individual shade cube is 1inchx 1.5inches. That is usually the size of a single blush and there's 4 in this one palette. I have found that bronzers that are multicolored instead of one shade (tan) tend to look better on the skin and prevent that dirty look single shades can give your skin.
Description of the 4 shades in the palette:-Soft sheer peach
-Pink that is similar to a dusty mauve
-Cocoa brown
-Soft Copper

All of the shades do have a subtle shimmer to them. And I mean subtle. You don't look like you have glitter on your face and it isn't something that stands out when your outdoors in natural light.

When applied by swirling your brush over all of the shades it gives your skin a warmer tone. Meaning more on the pink side as apposed to brown or tan. If you have pink undertones to your skin this would be the palette for you. Or if brown bronzer makes your skin appear muddy or dirty. If warm does not go with your skin tone there are 2 other palettes available aside from the warm to suite various skin tone.

Warm Bronzer- The warm shimmer that will bring a glow to your face. Ideal for summer or year-round.
Cool Bronzer- The ideal selection of matte colors to achieve a natural looking tan. Ideal for winter or year-round.
Golden Bronzer- An illuminating shimmer that is subtle and radiant. Ideal for summer or year-round.

The palette is very versatile and certainly not just for all over bronzing.
I've used each individual color section for a variety of things in my makeup application.

-The softest shade(peach) can be used as a highlighting powder on your cheek bones or as eye shadow.
-The pink/dusty mauve shade is great as a blush by itself.
-The Darkest shade works well for contouring the cheek bone or in the eye lid crease.
-The soft tan/copper can be used as eyeshadow or blush.

So, in one bronzing palette essentially you have 2 blushes, contouring powder,highlighter and 2 eye shadows.

Talk about lightening the load on your makeup bag not having to carry around each individual item. It's all in one compact which is great for summer time or to throw in an over night bag for the weekend.
 The packaging is very appealing as well. The compact looks very classy in all black. And is 3.5" x 2.5" which fits in the palm of your hand. The inside cover has a large mirror that is of good quality and does not distort your image like a low quality mirror can by making you look blurry.

 Application options & packaging quality make this an excellent addition to your makeup routine.
