Hello gorgeous ladies,
When it comes to eye shadows or any face powders, I definitely prefer palettes over single products as they’re travel friendly and they can be multi-used. They are convenient to switch shades and they aren’t missed or forgotten to be used like singles! So when I saw this awesome face palette by ELF, I was pretty excited and picked it up immediately. I already have the 2 blush palettes and a bronzer palette and I enjoy them a lot.

My Experience with ELF Beautifully Bare Soft & Subtle Total Face Palette:
Packaging: The packaging of this face palette is the same as the ELF Blush Palettes. The palettes are housed in the same type of compact which are sturdy black compacts with four pans. These pans can be easily popped out and rearranged to customise your needs if you have the blush and bronzer palettes. They also have a huge full size mirror which is always welcome.
Colour: As you can see in the images, this ELF Beautifully Bare Total Face Palette contains 4 gorgeous shades. It comes with a matte bronzer which is soft tan in colour, a shimmery champagne highlighter with a silver sheen, and two matte blushes – soft peach and soft pink. The different shades come in handy for different purposes in sculpting, adding colour and warming up your face.
Pigmentation: In my opinion, this palette is fairly pigmented for light to medium skin tone. I am not too sure how this will work for beauties with richer complexions. But the colours show up really well on my skin. The pigmentation is buildable and can be used with a light hand for a more natural look and can be built up for an intense colour pay-off.
Texture: The texture of the powders in this palette is really soft and not very powdery. The contour brush/blush brush picks up the right amount of product to give the skin a ‘glow’. Since the powders are soft and creamy, there is hardly any fallout which I really like. Also the colours blend really well into the skin and give a smooth finish as opposed to some face powders that look patchy or ashy on the skin.
Longevity: I would consider this bronzer to be of medium longevity as it starts to fade away evenly after 6 hours approximately. Not that I would like it to stay for more than that time period, but I do have face powders that do not fade away until I decide to take it off. That being said, the wear time can be increased by using a primer and a setting spray.
