REVIEW STUDIO ELF CONTOUR PALETTE SKIN

The top right shade is what most would call “banana,” which is a yellow-toned matte that’s great for brightening up the under-eyes or setting concealer. The top left shimmery eggshell shade is perfect for a powder highlight that’s more sheen than sparkle. Infused with Vitamin E, all of the shades are equally buttery and easy to blend, a formula I’m totally into. This one won me over more than the bronzer palette. Although, I’ve been using the mattes for sculpting and while it’s not Kim K status, they do offer a more natural effect which definitely works well for the summer looks I’ve been going for.

I wish that there was more of a contrast between the shades, maybe with one much darker contour shade. I really don’t think they’d do a lot for dark skin.

I’d consider this palette to be fairly pigmented for my light/medium skin tone. Not my fave, but with a light hand it can add a pretty glow to your face. The shade in the top right is really soft (to the point of crumbliness when too much pressure is applied) and has bigger glitter particles. The one on the bottom left is silky and the shimmer seems to be a spray-over. The two matte shades are both cool toned, one being what I consider to b a light camel shade and the other a medium tan. There are two mattes and two shimmers, which come in handy for different purposes in sculpting and warming up your face. They also have a huge mirror that will reflect your whole face, which I really appreciate for traveling. The sturdy black compacts have four pans that can actually be popped out and rearranged.

The palettes are housed in the same types of compacts as their blush palettes, and each cost $6. Even though they’ve put out more since the release of the foundation, bronzer, and contour palettes, I’ve got these three to show you today.

started cranking out a ton of face palettes. So I was personally pretty excited when e.l.f. They’re travel friendly, they offer several looks in one compact, and they make it easier to rotate through different shades because they aren’t forgotten in the back of your drawers like singles tend to be. I will go out on a limb and say that most makeup lovers probably prefer palettes over single products.
