PRODUCT REVIEW | ELF HD BLUSH



Hi dolls,

The blush in its packaging

Have you ever tried blushes in another formulation asides the conventional powder? HD blushes are a must try as they give the most natural looking,long lasting rosy cheeks.
I got the Elf HD blushes a few months ago.I got mine in encore (a flirty shade of pink) and showstopper (a deep purple-like shade) but there are several other shades available to choose from

The blush in "showstopper"

The blush requires a lot of blending to achieve a good result. This can be done with a duo fibre stippling blush or a beautyblender sponge(to give that perfect airbrushed finish)

The blush in "encore"
PROS:
1). They are highly pigmented (really super-pigmented)
2). A little product goes a long way so i see this lasting for a longtime
3). The blush stays right where you place it and gives a natural glow
4). They also double as a lip color or lip stain(and they are longlasting this way too)
5). They are relatively cheap compared to high end HD blushes

A close comparison of both shades

CONS:
1). There is a need to work super fast with it as it tends to dry up as soon as it comes in contact with air
2). The pump give out a tad too much product which could lead to wastage but i always transfer mine to the lips(awesome lipcolor *winks)


Tiny bit of the blush (you need just a  teensy-weensy bit to cover the cheeks)


OVERALL:
 I love the HD blushes,I love the "soft-focus" effect and I am totally in love with the fact that they are highly pigmented. They retail for about 1,800 and i'd say that very reasonable for 10ml of the product(that could last you a lifetime,trust me)

The tiny bits blended out (I told ya)
Would i recommend this product? I would totally recommend it especially if you like to have a long lasting flush of color to the cheeks.
