e.l.f Baked Blush Review

I have been eyeing up this wee number for a while. The baked blush has quite an intriguing appearance, it is a peach-pink with brown veining and a certain luminescence. When swatched this is extremely shimmery with super fine gold particles.

When I used this the first few times I couldn't get any product on my brush. I swirled my brush in the pan quite aggressively time and time again and nada! Before I gave up I checked out the reviews on makeup alley, and it was suggested to rub the surface of the baked blush with a tissue for a little bit in order to remove the thin film on top and thereby 'release' the product. This worked quite well. This is an extremely luminous blush (ditch the highlighter when wearing this) and the fine gold particles have a somewhat pore highlighting effect. The actual pigmentation of the blush is very soft- so if that is the type of finish you like in a blush then this will be ideal for you. Being super pale however I feel like I need a little more colour in order to liven up my complexion.

This would probably be really pretty when used as a highlighter on darker skins, or as a blush topper instead of using highlighter (or as well, you do you!). Unfortunately this did not particularly work for my pale skin and large pores.

Given how much make-up can cost you, I like this product. It is cheap but still works with my skin. You do have to build it up a bit given it's a bit subtle. But still worth it in my books.

I am only just beginning to experience the brand of e.l.f. So far I have been mostly unimpressed that was until the e.l.f baked blush made it's way in to my makeup draws. The blush presentation itself reminds me of a blood moon and it intrigued me.

I love that I can see what I am buying thanks to the clear lid compact. There have been countless times where you can not see the product only the colour name and appearance on the back. Blush itself scares me. I don't want to look too overdone. I have been the victim of the stares before because my blush is too obvious. My new motto is less is more.

I use my bossy blush brush to maximize quality. I lightly brush the brush over the blush and it's almost as if there is a layer of caked on hard material on top of the blush. The brush picks up hardly any of it. I accidentally dropped it and broke some of the top off the blush. I tried it again and low and behold success with getting the blush on my brush.

I have the colour Peachy Cheeky and it's amost a light blood orange colour. It's simply stunning to say the least. It glides on effortlessly (that is once the top caked broke). I blend, blend, blend because I find that I prefer a more subtle glow to my cheeks that a big blush stain like some do. It gives my face a glow I could never achieve myself so I love that.

The prices of e.l.f have always been very affordable for me. It has kind of changed my mind about money means quality. In this case cheap is not nasty. The only thing I would prefer is if the top wasn't so crusty and not useable. I lost a quarter of the product before I found a good layer that was able to be scooped up by the brush. Blush no longer scares me after find e.l.f baked blush. I am a tad hooked.

If you're after a cheap but good blush, this is one to try. It is a pretty blush and it could also be a highlighter. This is a double product for me which I really like.

I have the shade peachy cheeky which is a pink tone blush. It has shimmer and it is more of an overspray as well but when applied, it gives off a great rosy glow and I really like it on.

I didn't find it as long lasting as my other blushes but I'm still happy with it and it has become my everyday blush to work.

One of my favourite highlighting powders. It’s super fine, but because it’s not very pigmented you do have to build it up a little bit, but once built up it looks amazing and like all ELF products, it’s nice and affordable :)

I have used this product in two different shades and found whilst the colour was nice, they were just way too shimmery for my taste. The second I looked at it in the light, it looked like I had been dusted with glitter, which, while pretty, was not what I wanted from a blush. Other than that, they tend to wear well, I would often come home from 8 hour days with the blush still visible and no need to reapply.

I have the shade Peachy Cheeky and it's lovely. The packaging is just what you need; small and compact, nothing over-the-top. I don't think the colour itself is overly pigmented, it's quite subtle but it's a very shimmery blush that can also double as a highlighter so that's always a bonus! This blush is ideal if you dig a glowy look.

This product was only $3-$4 on IHerb and I have no regrets ! , It was so worth the money and very build able.

Just scored me two of these pretty much new off a face book buy and sell site and they are very shimmery on my hand but I do not think they are highly pigmented. The look of the marbled product is appealing and similar to high end brands I love the marbled look and think these are great value for money I am hoping the baked cake will not fall apart. I have the peachy cheeky and passion pink ones and I like the shimmery look I will update when used more it will be interesting to know if there is much colour payoff or if its just more shimmer as they do not seem very pigmented to me...

I know this product clearly states that its a blush, i get that! But the colour i have is called pink-tastic, and although it may be a nice blush on some people, this is definitely a highlighter on me.

Anyway, i really like the packaging of this product. It's well designed, it may be cheaply made, but it doesn't look that cheap so thumbs up.This blush has a beautiful luminous glow to it and is a pearlescent gold with pink swirls.It is a dome shape, and honestly looks really pretty.

I have to admit, i find this blush is really tricky to apply with a brush because my brushes just cant pick up enough of the product to do anything. I could be because of the baked nature of the blush, but it is quite hard. However, using my fingers for application lets me pick up enough product so that okay, although not ideal.

This looks amazing of my skin as a highlight. Its pretty, it looks like a highlight and it last the whole day. Its so affordable, and so i recommend it for all, even though it is tricky to use with a brush, fingers seem to do the trick, and for $3 im not complaining.
