ELF Studio Warm Bronzer Review

ELF Studio Warm Bronzer Review

Honestly speaking, I don’t know much about contouring facial features. I am a newbie to the concept of bronzers. A matte and a sun-kissed bronzer have long been on my wish list! But when ELF studio is offering you a set of four bronzers, there is no harm in striking a deal. ELF studio bronzer comes in 3 shades – golden, warm and cool. I chose the colour “warm.” Let’s find out whether it’s a win-win situation for me or vice versa.

My Take on ELF Studio Warm Bronzer:

Packaging:

Again the forte of Elf, the bronzer comes well packaged in a card-box packaging. Inside is a plastic, matte black, huge and slightly heavy, well designed and compact pan along with a big and excellent quality mirror. The bronzer compact pan is divided into four equal variable shades, and is covered with a plastic sheet.

Shade Description:

Starting from the top left shade and moving clockwise, the first shade is a golden sun-kissed shade, and then comes a warm brown shade, third is a light highlighting shade and the last one is a dark bronzer shade. When all the four shades are swatched, the outcome is a warm sun-kissed shade with subtle sheen. It adds lovely warmth to the cheeks. Adorable! I have taken all images in sunlight.

Texture and Pigmentation:

All the shades are neither poor in pigmentation nor very crazily pigmented. In one word, the pigmentation is decent and that is what I expect from my bronzer because I don’t want to overdo with the first swipe and then spend rest of the time in balancing and blending it out. The lower two shades are slightly chalky. There is no fallout in the pan; not even a single particle. The texture is smooth and not at all gritty. It blends easily and gives a natural look. A smaller brush will help you in targeted contouring and a fluffy blush brush will help you spread it easily because it stays put on my cheeks.

Longevity:

The bronzer is long wearing. I noticed fading after 6-7 hours and it lasted for at least 6 hours though I have a habit of rubbing my face from time to time. However, it might accentuate large pores. I love to use it in the hollows of my cheeks, it gives such a wonderful look. This is a fantastic bronzer for fair to medium skin tones. Also, the quantity will last you long.

Mirror:

The mirror is of very good quality and of big size, with which I am very happy because not only does it make application easy for me, but also makes the compact travel friendly.

  1. I like this *clap* *clap* Nicely reviewed sumera!!!
    i have two three bronzers from Incolor but couldnt use it!!!! ELF seems to be pretty good!

  2. Hey Sumera, love the way you took pics. And *same pinch* I’m a newbie to bronzers and face contouring as well.
    Can you suggest any matte bronzer available in India? *puchhi*

    1. *thankyou* shilpa … i am glad you liked the clicks. and what does same pinch means? In india, you have got lots of options. as far as i know, everything from maybelline to rimmel, essence to colorbar is available there. however, elf has also got matte bronzers, those come in circular pan. my sister has one and its very good. you can try that one too.

      1. Thank you Sumera. Will surely search for the abpve mentioned bronzers.
        And “same pinch” is usually said by people to one another if both do somethong or say something similar. E.g two girls wearing same dress or two people saying something similar at the same time. 😛
