e.l.f Baked Bronzer

I love this bronzer, I like the fact that is has a bit of shimmer but on me not ott. The price is also a bonus $3 off iherb or $5 from kmart. The product it self goes such a long way, last and lasts but my one negative would be how fragile it is once pan starts showing, breaks pretty much with the slightest tap. The case is durable, I think its a staple bronzer in anyones kit, great for contouring.

I love my bronzer and feel like I could never have enough, so when I spotted this on sale decided to give elf's baked bronzer a go. I have this in 'Los Cabos' which is one of the darker shades as although I have a light to medium skin tone in winter, I tan easily in warmer months and wanted something that would help me achieve a more sunkissed glow.

Compared to my elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer Duo which I found very pigmented I found their baked bronzer to be more lightly pigmented. I apply this using an angled blush brush and found I had to build up the colour quite a bit but once achieved I found it gave me a lovely, healthy looking glow. There's quite a sheen to this bronzer, less of the shimmer I had to others I have tried but I still find it does leave a bit of a sheen on the skin although this finish does work for this product.

Even though it's a darker shade for elf, I found this is better more for an all-over use as it gave me a nice sunkissed look, but didn't work so well for contouring.

I think at the price it's a pretty good buy, I wouldn't repurchase myself though purely because I do prefer a more pigmented bronzer but I think this is great for someone wanting something basic or for a beginner.

I used this bronzer for the first time last week. It was really good for highlighting the cheek bones. It was great value for money. Most of Elfs product are inexpensive and pretty good quality. I found that it was a little sheer in colour but it still looked good.

I'm not the type of girl to go for an all out bronzed or contoured look because my skin is so pale, I look out of place with that brown tint. I got this product because it was on special at my local k-mart, and I'd never owned a bronzer before in fear of over doing my face. The first time I used it, I only used a small amount because it looked like there was a lot on the brush, but after blending it a bit there was really nothing there. I find this product quite buildable so I added a bit more and found when I turned my face looking in the mirror, I really could see the light shimmer and slight sun-kissed colour which I'd never had before due to being someone who burns easily. I now find this product to be part of my every day routine as it really doesn't make you look dramatic at all with just a natural look, and it really helps with making me look more alive after my foundation washes out my natural colour. This product also lasts a very long time, so you don't have to worry about replacing it every other month like a lot of powder products.

I'm always a little cautious with buying bronzers as I fear they can look too orange and fake.

I really like the elf bronzer as it gives me a beautiful tanned glow and I use it as a contour also to make my cheekbones pop.

I purchased this from Kmart for a lowly $5! Bargain.

I will definitely be using the elf bronzer as a staple in my makeup bag!

e.l.f Baked Bronzer... well what can I say about this product?

I absolutely love this bronzer. In my everyday routine this just adds so much depth, and shimmer to my look. I will usually do a pretty natural look during the week, as I study and don't want anything to heavy on my face all day. I will use this bronzer to give my cheek bones a little more dimension, and to get that perfect pouty look.

I also use this when I am wearing a full face of make up, to add dimension and glow to my contouring. It is so perfect for this, as it just gives it a little shimmer.

The product blends so well, and so easily!

This is honestly one of the best bronzers I have ever used. I will be keeping this one stocked up in my make up kit for a while :)

The thing about elf baked products is the blush high lighter and highlighter etc are all packaged the same I am not saying the packaging is bad but when you are in a hurry looking for the right item can be tricky when you have a collection of them. This bronzer is a nice tone so you do not look all orange and I love that you can use this as a contour to frame the face a blusher etc a bit like the whole thin lizzy 6in one idea. I also love that it can be used wet or dry the price is fantastic and these elf products make cute and idea gifts for young ladies starting out with make up and for teens with acne prone skin the caring additives make this product very appealing

I seriously am already brown. But I bought this bronzer as it was the lightest one I could find, basically I just wanted to use it to frame my face a little more and it does the trick - I love how smooth it makes my face fee too (well, the parts of my face that it's used on anyway) and not that gross oily-clay like feeling you get sometimes. I generally don't use foundation or even bronzer (unless I'm going out and there is photos to be taken) it really is good for a little pick-me-up to your everyday look.

I was attracted to this one for the price and i loved it! This gives the subtle hint of being sun kissed without the orangeness that you normally get from a bronzer. It is insanely easy to use and you only need a small amount that you can build up easily if you needed! A small amount goes a long way which i love.

Not all affordable beauty buys are winners and unfortunately this bronzer is no winner. I bought Maui from the ELF website for $NZD3.00 during their 50% off sale. I absolutely love small makeup items because they're lighter, take up little space and they're easier to travel with so to have a bronzer that is of a similar size and packaging as their baked highlighter was an added bonus to me.

I recommend people to read the product details because I didn't, so I clearly missed a key word which would have stopped me dead in my tracks from buying it - "SHIMMERY". I seriously need someone to tell me why bronzers should have shimmers. I'm not trying to highlight the path of my contour nor do I want a shimmery framed face. On my chocolate skin this bronzer doesn't give me a sun-kissed look, it just looks shimmery as if I I'm all about that glittery life.

The pigmentation is non-existent, it took 4 solid swatches with my finger to pick up pigment so you can imagine how I fared with the brush - terrible. To add to the frustration I dropped the bronzer and the packaging survived the fall but the bronzer clearly detached itself from the pan - unbelievable. It was still usable not that there was any point with the little colour it was giving me. I'm glad this was an affordable lesson because it's one that I have no intention of revisiting.
