Contour is typically a shade or two darker than your foundation or concealer. Contouring is used to create the effect of shadow and define your facial features.Because the formula is thin, each product feels extremely lightweight on the face. All three of the wands were easy to apply, and didn’t dry down immediately which gave me a bit of time to blend them well. I found the products to be extremely blendable and forgiving on the skin. The blush and the highlight looked best using the brush. They are both super-buildable products, as I was able to start with a little and progressively layer on more to achieve my desired look. At first, I was a little worried the blush wasn’t going to show up, but adding another layer helped.

e.l.f. clean means we go above and beyond EU Cosmetic Regulation and FDA requirements by voluntarily removing more than the required 1,600 ingredients. Foundation comes in cream, liquid, and powder formulas and offers coverage that ranges from sheer to light to medium to full. It can provide a matte finish, a dewy finish, or an iridescent finish. Whatever coverage or finish you need, there is something for you. Both the blush and highlight are quite metallic in how they appear on the skin. The finish reminded me of the Nars Orgasm powder blush; the radiance isn’t glittery, but it definitely has shine. I’m happy to report that all three wands lasted the entire time without slipping or smudging. I maintained the brightening effects from the blush and highlight, and the snatch from the contour from the time I left to the time I got home. I definitely had to blot throughout the day, but not any more than I usually do as someone with oily/combo skin. That said, I think these products would work extra well on someone with dry skin. With dupe culture being so rampant, I enter trying out products knowing that c hemists and brands spend months and months creating specific formulations; so unless your favorite affordable brand copied the exact formula, products likely aren’t exactly the same. However, there’s value to finding ones that are similar—and sometimes, I end up liking the similar ones more than the originals.

I did wear this out on a beautiful New York day for about six-ish hours (which is a long day in post-pandemic times!). Like any good scientist, I had to keep the controls the same. I used my go-to foundation-and-concealer combo so I could really test how the wands performed alone.
