e.l.f Baked Blush Review

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 loooooove peachy coloured blusher so had to buy this when I saw it. Unfortunately it's not my most favourite ever because it's a tad too shimmery and I don't find the pigment that great unless you build and build which results in more and more shimmer. I think I'm too old for that much shimmer :( That being said I do still use it as a very subtle highlighter over my non-shimmery peach blusher. If you were born to shimmer and shine this will be your thing :)

I got this product when I did my ELF haul off iherb I ordered the colour peachy cheeky which is a lovely subtle peachy tone . The packaging is perfect basic pan nothing over the top . if you like glitter this products for you !! its not too overly pigmented but very build-able however the more you add the more glitter so dont go to OTT . for the price its very good !

I got the colour peachy cheeky a while ago when the rave reviews were flying around for this blush but after using it lots I dont share the same sentiments as those who rave about it.

Firstly its labelled as a blush and it shouldnt be. Its not pigmented enough to be a blush and its sparkly as hell. Its looks like you've been attacked by glitter fairies if you wear this as a blush! Secondly the lasting power is not that of a blush. I apply it and literary watch it blow off my face.

So I dont use it as a blush but rather as a top over a matte blush and will use only the tiniest amount. When using this on top of a blush it gives your cheeks a glow but without all the sparkle. I only wear this at night when I want more than a highlighter and I want my cheeks to pop out.

I plan to use this until Ive finished it but will not be repurchasing as I dont see why I really need. I could use blush with a bit of shimmer and then add one of my favourite highlighters to my cheekbones and it would give the same effect but just better.

For people on a budget this "blush" would be right up your alley to use as a highlighter if your cant see yourself investing in high end products but dont be fooled that its really a blush because its not.

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 purchased this online as a 'filler' blush because I knew I'd be travelling and wanted to buy something in Aussie.

The e.l.f. range has a lot going for it, in my opinion. It's inexpensive, readily available online and in Kmart, and there are some amazing hidden gem products in the range. The baked blush, for me, is not a hidden gem.

The blush comes packaged ina more éxpensive'looking way than I expected for the $5 I paid for it. It was boxed, in a modern black box. The casing is cheap, but adequate, with a black base and clear dome lid with only the company logo and product name on top, allowing you to see the product clearly. On the back is a tiny label with the name of the shade. I have this product in 'Passion Pink'.

The blush itself is a slightly elevated dome shape, and a very pretty mix of bronze and rose. It has the typical 'baked' lustre and a nice shimmer in the case.

This is where the issue comes in. This blush just doesn't want to get on my brushes. I've tried it with a few different ones and it's just not interested. In frustration, I wiped the blush itself on my cheekbones, and it transferred to my face well when done that way and blended out with the blush brush, but this isn't ideal!

When I DID manage to get it on my skin, the colour was pretty, shimmery, and more of a tinted highlighter than a blush, per se - but when rubbed straight onto the skin without a brush can build strongly. It wears okay, if you've managed to build up decent colour, but if not it's barely noticeable.

I've thrown this in my gym bag to use then, because I've since purchased a better blush. I'm not hugely disappointed because it was so cheap and it is useable, technically, but not ideal. I'm hoping that once the top layer is gone the rest will loosen up

I bought 2 different shades of this blush as all the reviews online claimed that it was super pigmented and more suited to be a highlighter than a blush. I adore highlighters so this was really the only reason why I bought this blush. I do not like this product as a blush or highlighter. The product used as a blush provides average pigmentation and for me personally I do not find it powerful enough to use as a highlighter. The formula is very chalky and does not guide of my face very smoothly. I am not a fan of the texture. I find the packaging to be very cheap looking. Although I do not like this product it seems almost impossible to find a bad review on it. Seems like everyone but me raves about this baked blush.
