FOTD & Review ELF Warm Bronze

Another ELF product I picked up while running errands is the Warm Bronze bronzer (Target - $3). It contains 4 different shimmery shades that, combined, create the loveliest beige rosy glow on my skin.



This product is shimmery, but there are no glitter chunks or particles. The shimmer is not overpowering and does not seem to sink in and highlight pores. You really do not need a separate highlighter with this. The texture is silky smooth and not at all powdery; something you usually only find in blushes at a much higher price point.


ELF Warm Bronze swatch
This was a VERY heavy swatch

The powders, swirled together, apply fairly sheer giving your skin a faint wash of color. It really is a lovely glow. The color can be built up; I used 3 swipes to get the desired effect on my cheeks and used one swipe along my hairline and nose. The fact that this applies sheer makes it a heavenly bronzer for fair skins like mine, where if you are not careful can easily over-apply and give yourself mud cheeks. I think on darker skin tones you might have to apply more than you would want to, and the effect could be overly shimmery, not just a subtle glow.
NARS Bronzer ELF Bronzer size comparison

What is also interesting to note is that the ELF bronzer case is identical in size to a NARS bronzer ($36) and contains a nice, large mirror just like the NARS. I really do love the sleekness of the black cases. Classy ELF, very classy.
