ELF Studio HD Blush (from left to right)Headliner, Superstar, Diva, Encore, Showstopper
ELF Studio HD Blushes are beautiful creamy blushes with extreme pigmentation. These cream blushes remind me an awful lot of the Makeup Forever HD Liquid Blushes but are much more budget friendly. The blushes cater to all skin-tones with five five shades available that are extremely pigmented. As these blushes are so pigmented a light hand is essential otherwise they tend to look more like sunburn and less like blush. I’ve found the ideal way to apply these blushes is with a stippling brush as it gives a subtle, airbrushed finish. These blushes do not cling to the dry patches of the skin but also don’t look overly greasy or shiny, the staying power of this is fantastic (almost too good, when swatching they stained) Lastly I feel it is important to mention that the formula is prone to separating, when I purchased mine from the US the formula had separated with an “oil” layer on top, it was fixed by vigorously shaking for a minute or so. Overall I think these are a fantastic, creamy blush at a very budget friendly price and I would recommend them.
ELF Studio HD Blush Swatches (from left to right)Headliner, Superstar, Diva, Encore, Showstopper Top: blended, bottom: unblended.
Headliner is a light pretty pink shade with a hint of sine silver shimmer (which is not visible on the skin) It is the most wearable shade out of them all and is perfect for fair/light skin tones
Superstar is a gorgeous matte coral shade with no shimmer. It would be perfect for light to medium skin tones
Diva is a super bright, matte, hot barbie pink shade with no shimmer. This shade would be great for those with a medium/dark skin tone.
Encore is a matte, hot fuchsia shade, it almost looks red when swatched so carefulness in application is a must. This shade has no shimmer and would be great on those with dark skin.
Showstopper is a deep berry shade with the slightest amount of fine shimmer (again not visible on the skin) It is darkest colour in the range and would look amazing on those with very dark skin.
