ELF Studio HD Blush “Encore” Review and Swatches

Heena

I was very keen on trying these ELF blushes since I had read that they dry like a stain and last for hours!

–            ELF Studio HD Blush “Encore” comes in a neat plastic, see-through packaging with a black pump. The pump works nicely and dispenses the product in one go only. The pressure of the pump can very well be controlled (unlike MAC Pro Longwear Concealer’s pump! Horrible!). So, no product wastage.
–            The shade is a bright deep pink shade with minute silver shimmers.
–            The shimmers don’t enhance my pore size in any way.
–            This blush is insanely pigmented. I need only two dots for both my cheeks and done!
–            It does blends nicely but since the texture is a little dry, a little more effort is required in blending.
–            The blush does contains silica, so make sure you are compatible with this ingredient.
–            I wanted to say “it dies to a long lasting finish” after this, but! The blush lasted for 4-5 hours on my oily skin. It fades evenly. I think with a primer beneath, it will last longer. As a lipstick, it wears off fast and in between meals, it wears down unevenly.
–            ELF is a cruelty free brand. Brownie points!
For the price, this blush is really good. But it’s not the blush you should be seeking if you want a dewy,shiny effect. More than a cream based blush, this stands out as a stained blush effect.


When I wear this as a blush, I wear the same shade on lips and then, I seal it with “Kryolan Lip Seal” for a long lasting effect. I draw a thin black liner and done. I like to wear this blush only when I wear glasses and I like to wear it a little strong.
Price: Around Rs.450
