ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder: Luminance -

I am light skinned, so I got the lightest bronzer shade. The ELF website is notorious for bad color quality. This shade is not a bronzer. It's a super pale slightly shimmery powder. I didn't even swatch it and saved it for a highlighter for a pale friend.

ELF Studio Duo Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I decided to try this out after the online raves.

I don't like it. The powders are milled too soft, so I pick up way too much with a swipe of my brush. It's very shimmery, too much for everyday professional use. Since so much powder is dispersed with each swipe, the pigmentation is too heavy for me on both the blush and the bronzer. Also, the bronzer isn't the right shade for me - it's too dark and looks dirty. The blush is too dark as well, even with the faintest of swipes. Maybe this would work for someone with dark skin? I'm fairly light in coloration. $3 wasted. But the mirror is nice to have inside, and the packaging is nice.
