e.l.f Baked Bronzer

I have been using the same boring matte MAC bronzer for yonks and its coming to the end of its life span so I saw this on a surprisingly stocked KMART elf stand and thought I better grab it while I could..

I knew NOTHING about this product but what I am going to say is WOW..

First off $5 is insanity.. So cheap.

Secondly.. It is so beautiful. The pigment in this lil bronzer is to die for.. Its a perfect color for all skin tones and is totally blendable.. Its a dream to work with. I wondered how so many girls on MUO were getting such a beautiful healthy glow and then I realized upon applying this baby that this was the ticket..

My skin looked beautifully glowy, not orange.. Not glittery. Perfectly glowy. Its ideal for contouring despite its glow factor, its also a complimentary bronzed highlighter.. This baby right here is the golden ticket to perfectly glowy skin.. I am totally sold for life!

I used this bronzer for the first time last week. It was really good for highlighting the cheek bones. It was great value for money. Most of Elfs product are inexpensive and pretty good quality. I found that it was a little sheer in colour but it still looked good.

I know alot of people aren't big fans of shimmery bronzers, and I generally tend to agree. But I have found this exception, it is such a lovely soft blendable bronzer with a gorgeous shimmery finish. I feel glowy and sun kissed whenever I use this esp since it has no orangy finish and just looks natural. The packaging isn't fancy, but for the super affordable price I can ignore the plastic packaging. Overall great product

I bought this for $5 at Kmart, got the lighter sun kissed colour and the darker one as well. I quite like them but they are a bit too shimmery for my liking. They appear a bit more matte in the pan than once you actually put it on your face. When applying, go lightly as it's very easy to put too much. One dab with a brush should be more than enough (especially with the darker colour).

I will use it again but probably more of a night time going out bronzer rather than everyday.

I purchased this bronzer in St Lucia. As I have fair skin, I find it hard to wear bronzer without it looking too orange. This is the perfect bronzer colour for me! It is a nice brown and perfect to wear just below my blush to contour my cheeks. Unfortunately, it is so baked I struggle to pick it up with a brush! When I use my finger to swatch there is no problem with the product but I just struggle to pick up the baked texture with a brush. For this reason, I would not repurchase.

I bought this when I did a large ELF haul a while ago, and have been using it in the last few weeks.

This isn't overly pigmented - especially in comparison to their bronzer/blush combo. This adds a light, rather subtle bronzed look to your skin. Be warned that because it is baked it does have a sheen but this creates a beautiful glow to your skin.

I don't like to use this as a contour as I don't like shimmery products to contour with but this is perfect to bronze your face with.

Because it isn't amazingly pigmented I think this is perfect for those just starting with bronzer. You don't need to worry about accidentally applying too much yet you can build this up if you want.

I also like to use this as an eyeshadow if I am in a hurry and running out the door. It creates a lovely, subtle wash to your eyes.

I love my bronzer and feel like I could never have enough, so when I spotted this on sale decided to give elf's baked bronzer a go. I have this in 'Los Cabos' which is one of the darker shades as although I have a light to medium skin tone in winter, I tan easily in warmer months and wanted something that would help me achieve a more sunkissed glow.

Compared to my elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer Duo which I found very pigmented I found their baked bronzer to be more lightly pigmented. I apply this using an angled blush brush and found I had to build up the colour quite a bit but once achieved I found it gave me a lovely, healthy looking glow. There's quite a sheen to this bronzer, less of the shimmer I had to others I have tried but I still find it does leave a bit of a sheen on the skin although this finish does work for this product.

Even though it's a darker shade for elf, I found this is better more for an all-over use as it gave me a nice sunkissed look, but didn't work so well for contouring.

I think at the price it's a pretty good buy, I wouldn't repurchase myself though purely because I do prefer a more pigmented bronzer but I think this is great for someone wanting something basic or for a beginner.

I purchased this is the shade St Lucia (The lightest shade available I think) and it's actually not a bad product (I had my reservations).

I have fair cool toned skin and find this bronzer doesn't appear overly orange or muddy on my skin. It does lean more to the orange side though.

I thought it would only be suitable as an all over bronzer as it has a satin finish (not shimmery but not matte either) but I tried a subtle contour with it and found it worked quite well, but don't think it would work for a defined contour as it would definitely be too orange on my fair skin. It is very light so only suitable for my fellow 'pasty white' girls out there.

It isn't very pigmented and I found I had to build it up a bit to get the natural glow I wanted but am happy with the subtle hint of colour it gives me and I find it less intimidating than really pigmented bronzers which you can easily overdo it with. I think this is great for right now, heading into the cooler months as I still want some colour but not that gorgeous summer glow that other bronzers give.

Since it is not super pigmented I think it would be a perfect bronzer for a beginner since it's pretty fail proof but build-able in terms of colour payoff and it's also super cheap.

I also tried this on my eyes as a crease and blending out colour and it worked great for that too (it was a bit harder to blend than your standard eye shadow). On the crease it was a warmer leaning light satin finish brown and I liked the effect.

It has a nice smooth feel on the skin and is a product I will continue to use.

The thing about elf baked products is the blush high lighter and highlighter etc are all packaged the same I am not saying the packaging is bad but when you are in a hurry looking for the right item can be tricky when you have a collection of them. This bronzer is a nice tone so you do not look all orange and I love that you can use this as a contour to frame the face a blusher etc a bit like the whole thin lizzy 6in one idea. I also love that it can be used wet or dry the price is fantastic and these elf products make cute and idea gifts for young ladies starting out with make up and for teens with acne prone skin the caring additives make this product very appealing

I found this was a 'nice' bronzer, nothing amazing or anything to rave about. The amount that you get is great for the price. And it is pretty pigmented so you have to use a light hand. Im not a huge fan of the shimmery satin finish but on days my skin is looking dull it does give me a bit of life to my face. But its no good for me as a contour as it does have the shimmer to it, but for a bronzed look it worked well.
