e.l.f Studio Bronzer

I'm one of those people who LOVE bronzer, I have warm-toned skin and even in I like to keep a light bronze glow about me. I purchased this in 'Warm' off the ELF website for half-price and figured at such a steal I couldn't go wrong.

The packaging of this is similar to other products from the ELF range in that it's a matte black compact with a mirror. The size makes it perfect for storage and it's sturdy enough to take away.

The bronzer has four different shades that have a slight shimmer to them. They look really great in the package however I did find they weren't that pigmented. I like to apply this using a kabuki brush to swirl all the colours together and bronze my face. The colour payoff isn't that great so you do have to build it up a bit more but I found it does give just the right hint of colour to create a nice, natural-looking glow to my skin.

This suits me perfectly as an everyday bronzer in winter as it's more subtle than others I have and is perfect when I don't have my summer tan. At the price it really is a bargain even without the colour payoff and I would repurchase, and I would recommend this to those with fair-medium skintones wanting a more subtle bronze.

The price point and the colour of this bronzer would be the best selling points and was what drew me to purchase. Its a chlaky/powdery texture and you end up going back for more the more you work with the product. It is a very good neutral tone that would suit most skin types. I loved the durability and the sleekness of the packaging, elf has to be my favourite for packaging. The product throughout the day needed 2 touch ups and was patchy by the time i got home. Would reccomend if your just starting out with makeup and needed something easily blendable.

I am a massive elf fan as for the price I am always impressed but I wasn't so impressed with this bronzer. I have it in the colour 'warm' and personally didn't like these shades I felt they didn't work for my skin tone. I do however like how there was four different shades to choose from and that they can also be mixed together. Personally I wouldn't recommend this product as I believe there is better things out there for similar prices.

When I saw the swatches online for this product I knew straight away that I wasn't going to be using it as a bronzer. I prefer my bronzers to be matte but the shades are not ones we haven't seen before however the combination of colours really drew me in so I pressed ADD TO CART hehe.

I bought mine from the ELF Cosmetics website via Shipito for about NZD$5.00 and that's absolutely crazy for a product with sleek sturdy packaging, a decent size mirror and 4 gorgeous golden shades (tan, peach, apricot and taupe). All shades have very fine shimmer and a beautiful sheen whether applied individually or swirled together.

A blush brush or angled brush can fit nicely into each segment without disturbing the other shades. I notice that there is a kick up of powder when I swirl the product but I can't really complain because the price point is just too good for what we already get and you'll still be able to achieve a lovely warm golden glow.

I suppose if you're going for sunkissed-just-got-myself-a-nice -tan look you could get away with using this as a bronzer but just note that once you hit the sun you'll be shimmering in all those places. I swirl all the shades together and use it as a blush topper when I want that sun kiss look while using a matte bronzer for the rest of my face. As a highlight I only use the apricot and peach because they show up well on my already chocolate skin - I do tend to go in with a heavy hand but that's just how I like my highlight.

The longevity of this product is quite good; it lasts me a good 6-7 hours with setting spray and then the colour begins to fade away while the shimmer remains behind. This is not an issue for me because it's a blush topper. When it's highlight however I tend to be more cautious of how well I place and set it with a finishing powder. I would happily recommend this for those on a tight budget.

I personally like this product! I use the Golden pallet and it gives a very subtle bronze shimmer. It is a very subtle bronzer but it is nice to use for a natural look.

I liked this but after caring it around in my hand bag it all fell apart (the cake) and the powder was wasted and went everywhere. I have not tried many bronzers but this was the nicest look except for the fact the powder was all wasted by falling to bits

I have this in 'warm'.

Firstly I love the look of this. When I opened the palette I was hesitant to use it just because it looked so beautiful! It comes with four shades so you can use them individually or sweep them all together.

This bronzer feels slightly powdery but it blends on my face well and leaves a glow to my skin. To apply this I I use my elf kabuki brush and blend all of the colours together and sweep it all over my face.

It is quite brightening and shimmery on my skin so I probably won't use this during winter as I tend to be a bit paler than in summer. However, this looks really nice on my skin at the moment as it is still slightly tan.

It reminds me a bit of Stilas all over shimmer, only a little more pigmented and more of a bronze rather than pink tone.

There is only a little bit of fallout in this and I feel you're really getting more than your money's worth. It's a great product that is super cheap!

This bronzer palette is great for the price. Gives you a nice glow. I use it more as a highlight as it is very glowy/shimmery to use as a all over bronzer so Doesnt look as natural as a matte bronzer. Good pigmentation and great price.

This product I use more for a highlighter than a bronzer and it works really nicely. It give a glow instead of a glitter. The bottom right quad does work quite nicely as a bronzer with a light hand on my skin tone, I'm a mac NC15. Great value for money and can be used in a few different ways. Great brow brow bone highlighter as well!

I swirl all 4 colours together and it creates a nice contoured cheek with a healthy glow . The darkest shade is perfect for lightly contouring my nose. Great all year round bronzer!
