Elf Contour and Highlight Kit Review

The Elf contour and highlight kit has been a staple in many makeup enthusiasts' collections for quite some time, but the question remains: is it worth the hype? As someone who's always on the lookout for affordable yet effective beauty products, I decided to put this kit to the test.

First of all, let me say that the matte white isn't really my cup of tea and the darkest shade is too dark to contour or highlight with for me. However, once you start playing around with the shades, you'll find that they're actually quite versatile. The swatches may look quite bland at first sight, but if you scroll down you'll find the pink shade applied to my face.

What I was most impressed with was the quality of these powders. Despite being a bit powdery, they blend seamlessly into the skin, making them easy to work with. Plus, you get four shades in total – one matte, one satin, and two punchy highlighters – which is great for those who like to mix and match their products.

One thing I was slightly disappointed about was the packaging. While it's sturdy and has a decent-sized mirror in the lid, each palette looks identical apart from the illuminating palette, which has a sticker with the name of the product on the front. The highlight and contour palettes are only available from the Elf website in the Netherlands, while the blush and bronzer palettes come in two shades.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the face palettes themselves are actually quite impressive. You get 16 grams of product for just €8 each, which is an absolute steal. Plus, the pans can be popped out and customized to suit your individual needs – a great bonus for those who like to mix and match their products.

Overall, I'd say that the Elf contour and highlight kit is definitely worth checking out. While it may not be the most exciting product on the market, it's certainly effective and offers great value for money. So if you're looking for an affordable yet quality makeup brand, Elf is definitely worth considering.
