ELF has been adding new products on a regular basis for a while now, and their new baked line is one of their fairly recent additions.
After reading some of the reviews about the baked blushes on the ELF website, I was a little skeptical and hesitent. But I was placing an order already, so I picked Peachy Cheeky to try out.
Before I dive into my personal opinion, let's address the main complaint about this product: pigmentation. Many of the initial reviews, especially on the color "Peachy Cheeky", said that there was not enough color to be a blush, so they had to resort to using it as a hi-lite. True or False? I find it to be false. I rather like this product, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Here are the details:
There are a few different colors to choose from; Peachy Cheeky is clearly for people with fair skin tones. While it's true that it's not super pigmented, I think it works to my advantage that way. That's because it's very buildable in color. Use a little, and you've got a great hi-lite. A couple sweeps can be a very natural eyeshadow and brighten your eyes. And a little more can be used to build up a nice, rosy-pink cheek. This product also has hints of gold, which are beautiful! It really gives your complexion some dimension. I have been using this product as a daily part of my routine, that's how much I like it.
Bottom line: If you are fair-skinned, this product, used correctly, will rock your socks. If you're a little bit darker than fair, it'll make an awesome hi-lite, especially for your eyes. And don't forget that there are other colors to choose from that may better suit you.
