e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

This duo did not live up to expectations for me.

Packaging was nice and sleep, but as it modelled itself on NARS packaging there are no points for orginality there.

The blush was like all the elf blushes I have used,fantastic,easy to use and highly pigmented.

The bronzer gets a huge thumbs down from me, it is too hard to work with,using a little or a lot it is streaky and muddy. I managed to get it looking ok-ish with time and patience but I dont want to add time to my already lengthy make up application process. I need something that will do it's job and it didnt do it

Would not repurchase

Both the blush and bronzer are sparkly, which may appeal to some. They are very pigmented and last all day. Amazing for the price :)

I find this pretty good and I dont think the bronzer is too shimmery unlike others it works really well for me and blends really well I contour using this product but only on my cheekbones as I find that if I use it on my nose its too dark. As for the blush I really love it, it reminds me of the sleek blush in rose gold.

Overall I really do like this product however it does have shimmer so be careful.

I like this product but it takes a bit of practice to get used to it. I have very fair skin so I think that makes it a bit more difficult to use too! You don't need much product at all to get a really strong colour - looks lovely when done correctly!

This is awesome because you're getting two products in one. I love getting bang for my buck and love it when I have products that take up as little space as possible as I travel a lot.

It is only in the last few months that I have started using blush and bronzer and I'm addicted. While looking for a bronzer I can use instead of Benefits Hoola (it was expensive and I don't want to use it daily because of the price), I came across this. After researching it online I was intrigued because I read more than one review saying that the blush was a dupe for Nars' Orgasm.

Having never tried the infamous blush from Nars I can't comment, but I really really really love this duo. The blush is a gorgeous peachy colour that looks like it has heaps of shimmer in it - but when I blend this out the shimmer isn't overly apparent. On my skin it looks glowy and fresh. The pigmentation is pretty good and very build able.

The bronzer is a tad dark for me so I just make sure I use a light hand and blend it really well to keep it looking natural. I love the way it helps sculpt my cheekbones out.

Both powders feel buttery, soft and smooth. I had no issues blending them out and they looked natural on me. They lasted about 3/4s of my day so I did need to touch them up just to keep it looking glowy.

Overall I have been using this solid and I love it. When I run out I will buy it again. It's a beautiful little product and really good to travel with.

I didn't like either of the shades in this compact. I couldn't use them for contouring, like it says, because its far too sparkly/shimmery and the darker shade is REALY orangey and dark and made me look bruised. I tried using different techniques to apply it but it just wasn't right for what I needed and didn't work for me in any way. Im a bit gutted as I do like the e.l.f range. I passed it on and will not re-purchase.

I bought this contouring and blush kit in the shade St Lucia as It looked to be the lightest shade and I am pale skinned.

To begin with, my attitude for elf products is that they are so affordable that you may aswell buy it to try and if it doesn't work for you then you haven't lost much, but if you end up loving the product then its such a score!

The packaging is super simple and it is quite sturdy feeling, although the mirror fell out the second time I used this.

Contour: I have found that the contour shade is not quite the right colour for me, it is a bit dark and makes my skin look a bit muddy. That being said I can tone it down a bit by re applying some of my mineral foundation over top once I have contoured.

Blush: The blush shade is okay, however I find it to be a bit too powdery for my liking and I don't find that colour payoff to be that great.

Overall I don't really reach for this product very often at all, although I gave it a good crack to see if I could change my mind.

I purchased the elf contouring duo in st Lucia. I read a lot of bad reviews for it but I decided to try it as its super cheap. Starting with the packaging, I think its sturdy and looks nice. The mirror is nice and clear and the hinge keeps it upright while in use. I hate flimsy lids so yay. The blush side is a light pink with a slight gold shimmer. Reminds me of a muted version of hot mama by the balm. The blush isn't very pigmented compared to the elf single blushes, I actually use tickled pink under this to give it more pop. The bronzer on the other hand is super pigmented. Its a chocolate brown with shimmer. Its not glittery just a shimmer. This gives a beautiful j-lo type glow but needs the lightest hand and lots of blending. I usually prefer matte contouring shades but this surprised me as I'm using this over my Bahama mama right now. Only downside is that it does fade and needs midday reapplying.

I heard many great reviews on this product and thought I would give it a go. The blush is pretty and I wear it during the day because it is a nice shade for my skin tone. I feel like the bronzer side is very difficult to work with especially being a beginner to contouring. I find that when it is on the skin it is very hard to blend out and appears muddy. I think it takes a lot of practise to use but I think while im learning I will have to find another product.

I originally used the Elf baked bronzer in St Lucia but struggled to pick this up with a brush due to the baked texture. As a result I decided to buy this combo in St Lucia instead. I am loving that I can pick this one up! It is the same shade bronzer but has a fine glitter in it. The blush goes very well with the bronzer and I am enjoying it as well. I love this compact for travelling as it's two in one and has a decent sized mirror.
