e.l.f HD Blush Review

I purchased this blush in the shade "headliner" for around $6 on iherb. this blush is SUPER pigmented. This is both a positive and a negative in my view. It's good in that you only need a very tiny amount for each application- but unfortunately I find the pump packaging dispenses more than needed, so a bit goes to waste each time. Also, the high pigmentation makes very easy to overdo it and look like a clown! That being said i do love this shade, it is very pretty if applied carefully. However I am taking off a few points as I only used mine about 5 times before it wouldn't pump out any more product- I am not sure if the dispenser on mine is broken, or if i already ran out of product (it is a VERY small bottle). Either way, I would still recommend this, and i hope it's just mine that's broken!

This blush is easy to mess up as its quite a thick formula and very pigmented, so if your heavy handed its not for you. I like to use this blush on top of a second blush just to slightly use on the high pint of my cheek bone, as if I use this alone and on the hoke cheek I feel a little clownish. But when used with another product it really gives that nice pink pop if you pop it in the write place, or nice if wearing a nice nude lippy with a pink undertone. Price wise you cant go wrong! It comes in a see threw case with a great wee pump, so you can keep on track of how much you have left and easily dispense it.

I had heard this product was highly pigmented so on first application I squeezed out the amount of a pinhead, and applied with my fingers. Well, even this was too much and looked absolutely ridiculous. My second attempt was literally touching my stippling brush to the nozzle opening and gave a much nicer result. When it is successful this produces a really pretty flush. When it is not successful however... scary. On another note, this tiny container will last a lifetime even as a serial blush user.
