e.l.f Baked Highlighter

Bought this because I was wanting a nice yellow toned highlighter. Was totally impressed with the swatch on my finger. Beautiful tone to the highlighter. But, when I went to swipe my highlighter brush over the pan it picked up no product whats so ever, so I tried with 2 other highlighter brushes, xobeauty's one and real techniques and still no product on the brush. Eventually had to use a buffering brush to get any product on my face. This product is far to baked to get any payoff at all. I ended up smashing up the entire highlighter and transferring it to a pot and it works much better.

I've only ever owned a liquid highlighter, but when I saw ELF was having a 50% off sale I decided to give their Baked Highlighter a go. I picked it up at the bargain price of $1.50 in 'Blush Gems', which as the name suggests is a beautiful blush pink hue.

The packaging is compact and functional, the clear plastic lid making it easy to see the colour and great for storage and travel.

I like to apply this dry using an angled or rounded blush brush along my cheekbones. I found this brush just worked better for me to apply just the right amount to highlight the area I wanted, instead of just getting it all over my face. This product is so pigmented that you only need one sweep to create a subtle, radiant glow. For something a bit more noticeable I found this product was really easy to build up. I've also used it to highlight my browbones and inner corner of my eye using an eyeshadow brush and it worked really nicely.

I'm incredibly impressed with this highlighter, it's so ridiculously good value. If you see it for sale, well worth the buy you won't regret it!

love the color and the nice amount of shimmer, the only thing that i don't like is how you need to have quite a lot on your brush to be able to see it on you face

There was a lot of hype about this product, it got it in the shade 'blush gems'.. i think for the price it is good but i did expect a more pigmented product and did not find it lived up to the hype which was a bit disappointing. However if you do pack it on the highlighted effect is visible. I did expect this product to be better than it actually was but it is extremely affordable and good if on a budget. Lastly, i found that the two brushes i used (fan brush and tapered highlighting brush) were not very effective and picking up the product.

i have the elf baked highlighter in moonlight pearl and i do love it it has a bit of shimmer and some glitter to it so if you don't like that id stay away but it is a very nice colour i brought mine off beauty joint as my first highlighter and i do really love it and $3 isnt a very big investment if you dont end up liking the product

I don't really like this product, for the price it is alright but i find it too glittery and it's easy to put too much product on. It is also hard to use with a brush. I will not be buying this product again even though it is super cheap.

Im a serious elf lover but this product is yet to grow on me , arrived with my elf haul from Iherb was approx $3.00

the packaging is simple very cheap looking but it does that trick, i would of liked a mirror on the lid ? but for $3.00 who can complain much !

i found this product really nice the colours beautiful and girly ( I love pinks !)

I found this abit hard to blend though ! maybe it doesnt work with my foundation but it just looked abit tacky ! i will still keep using it and trying it in different ways to make it work !

I was surprised by this product when I first bought them. It creates the radiant glow to your skin with the right amount of shimmer. It's very affordable and budget friendly makeup. A little goes a very long way.

I have this highlighter in moonlight pearl. I find it very similar to the Elf baked bronzer in that I struggle to pick it up with a brush. It is definitely pigmented when I pick it up with my finger, but my brush only seems to pick up a minimal amount due to the baked texture. Having said that, one doesn't want to pick up too much highlighter anyway! The colour itself is a beautiful pearl and looks lovely on the cheekbones. Because of its low price point, I would repurchase this for a powder highlighter.

These are beautiful highlighters. Their not glittery or chucky. The just give a beautiful sheen and looks very very natural. They are really pigmented, and you get alot of product for the price you pay.
