ELF HD Blush

When I saw ELF were launching a HD blusher I was really intrigued. ELF aren't a brand I've used before but I have looked at their products and read/heard plenty of good things about them. So when the email about these being on sale I decided to order one.

ELF HD Blush £3.75 ELF

They come in 5 colours and are all varied pinks and purple. I decided on superstar which is a bright peachy pink, and the second lightest shade in the collection. The blush comes in a bottle with a pump for a measured dose.

The blush is incredibly pigmented. I've used this a fair few times and when I say highly pigmented I'm not kidding. a whole pump is far too much to use on your cheeks. I use the tiniest blob and apply it with a stippling brush. A little really does go a long way. If your not careful you will end up looking like a bit clown like.

Like I said tiniest amount gives you a nice flush. You can also build the colour up if you do want a more intense look. The blush itself goes on really smooth and is blendable. It is a matte formula and dries to a powder. I love how non greasy it is. I find with some cheaper cream blushes they can be greasy on the skin or can leave a dewy finish, which I'm not keen on so this is great for me.  The colour lasts all day I normally wear for around 8 hours.

Blended out with flash

The swatch above was blended out with a MUA stippling brush. The above picture of the tiny amount dispensed is what I blended around my hand.

My one and only moan about this is the lid. It never stays on properly which is a nightmare to travel with as I always find the lid and the blush seperate. This is not a product I'd like to leak in my make up bag! It would casue a pretty big mess!

You can buy this blush online Here at a reasonable £3.75
