elf Putty Bronzer Review
It is time for my elf Putty Bronzer review! Everything that I have to say here is very well in line with my elf Putty Blush review, as they really are the same product. First and foremost, I find that these have buildable coverage that is easy to control. Even though the shades look bold in the pot, you should have no fear.
Further, these blend great! I find them to be smooth and creamy, while not lifting product up underneath. With that being said, I have never applied these over powder, as that is typically a no-no for creams.
These cream bronzers last all day without fading, and they do dry down to a semi-matte finish that feels like powder.
I really am impressed by the shade range. They do offer something for everyone. Depending on your skin tone, you might want to purchase several shades that you can use for bronzer and cream contour. Some of these shades are simply too dark for me. They might become suitable for underpainting contour with a light hand, which is when you contour before foundation and concealer application.
When it comes to how to apply elf Putty Bronzer, these are flexible and easy enough to use that you can go with anything. Besides their Putty Bronzer Brush, I also like to use the elf Putty Blush Brush and their Small Stipple Brush. Honestly, your fingers will be good too, and I have even dipped a sponge in these. These bronzers get my endorsement!
