e.l.f Baked Blush Review

I purchased this blush in the shade 'Pinktastic' to use not just as a blush but also as a cheek bone highlight. I realise E.L.F make a line of powder highlighters but had heard good things about using this shade as an illuminator too. I wasn't disappointed. Pinktastic is a lovely, natural, and pigmented colour that is very versatile. For those lazy days, I throw it on my cheeks AND eyelids to compliment, finish off with some mascara and I'm good to go, looking awake and lively (but on the inside I'm really still half asleep!) I love the great natural glow it produces.

After trying an elf product and being impressed, I thought it was about time to add another elf product to my collection! Blush is a must-have in my daily makeup routine and after reading the reviews on BR this was quickly added to my iherb cart.

I chose the colour peachy cheeky, as I adore peachy colours and this looked like it would be perfect for me!

When I got my iherb haul in the mail this was one of the first products I opened. For $3 it looks quite good quality, in a sturdy case with a clear see-through top.

I apply this blush with my Real Techniques blush brush and it gives me a lovely, gorgeous glow. It is so flattering for pale skinned girls like me. I find it can be very buildable and is such a beautiful colour.

I also love a bit of shimmer, and this makes it a great highlighter as well. For me, this is just the perfect amount of shimmer, without it being over the top. This blush is just so pretty!

I have to say I'm really impressed with this blush and would definitely recommend. For approximately $3, how can you go wrong? In my opinion this is such a bargain!

Thanks elf, for another affordable yet awesome product. I can't wait to try more elf products now!

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 have the shade 'rich rose' which is a bronze with swiggles of vibrant pink throughout along with a shimmer. I brought it off iherb.com for $3.

The packaging is simple yet cute with a clear lid that clicks into place. It is a round strong/sturdy container.

It has a typical powder or eyeshadow scent which is very mild.

My first time using this product, I found it hard to get any on my brush, I had to 'work' at it a little but after that, I had no issues.

I only use a small amount. It leaves my cheekbones with more of a bronzed affect than a 'blush' affect but I quite like it. It has a shimmer to it as well and everyone knows that I love shimmer ;-)

Overall I am very happy with this product and would recommend it. I will definitely be re purchasing it as well.

Beautiful sheer coverage. Comes off more a highlighter than a blush for me but the product easily allows you to build up colour. Definitely needs to be applied with a brush, the product doesn't come with one but any brush works. It should be applied with a light hand. The packaging is adorable. Comes in a black box with an open front so you can see the pattern of the blush, and the blush itself is a marbled pink and brown. If you're interested in a blush or highlighter or both but don't want to spend much then give this a try.

I own this in the shade "Pinktastic" and it is highly pigmented! I would say that this is more like a highlighter than a blush so I use it as a highlighter instead. It leaves the cheek with a smooth and natural looking sheen, it is a bit shimmery but not overly. The texture of the blush is very smooth and almost velvety. I would definitely recommend this especially as it is so affordable.

This blush, for the price, is amazing and is a daily staple in my routine. It combines a highlighter glow along with a perfect pop of colour, so it's a super time saver as well! I have 3 shades, 2 that are perfect for daily use and one that is for a more dramatic look. I will be repurchasing. The only down side to it is the quality of the packaging. 2 of the lids have completely fallen away from the pan itself.

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.

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.

I have this in Passion Pink and I love the color. It has a lot of shimmer which didn't show up on the photo on the website. In real life this could probably be used as a bit of a highlighter or for strobing? I tried using this as good old blush and I think it's pretty good for its price. The color isn't extremely pigmented but shows as a really youthful pink/copper kind of color. The fallout of loose powder when I tried picking up was a downside but when I wet the brush slightly I found it much easier to pick up color. It was super windy today and I was happily surprised to find that this stayed on for a whole afternoon out despite my hair smacking into my face constantly. Also I like how the packaging is very simplistic and to the point.
