Bite-Size Eyeshadows, Creamy, Blendable, Ultra-Pigmented, Easy to Apply, Cream & Sugar, Matte & Shimmer, 3.5g

Product Information

The ELF Bite Size Hot Jalapeno palette is on another level, that’s the only way I can word it. I love khaki, olive, and green eyeshadows so much that it’s hard to refrain from getting all the green palettes I come across, to be honest.

The only thing I didn’t care for was that there isn’t a purple available yet! (Purple is my favorite color.) In Conclusion 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. Bronzer helps to give your skin a warm, luminous glow—as if you’ve spent time in the sun. They can also lightly sculpt your face. Bronzers come in cream or putty and powder form and may be matte or shimmery.Start by selecting a base shade—something close to your skin tone such as pearl, beige, or peach. Use a flat eyeshadow brush and sweep this shade over your lids and up to your brow bone The four eyeshadows in the ELF Rose Water palette perform really well, even the dark matte purple eyeshadow. That says a lot about the quality of this small ELF palette because purple eyeshadow is usually hard to find really pigmented.

Product description by the brand: Ultra-pigmented eyeshadow quads that deliver creamy, bendable color in perfect mini compacts. Um, No ?

Really a great ELF Bite Size palette if you’d like to create some colorful green looks, or even go for green smokey eyes. Face Powder helps even your skin tone, absorb oil, set your makeup, and achieve flawless-looking skin. It comes in a variety of formulas, such as e.l.f. Camo Powder Foundation for buildable coverage; e.l.f. Halo Glow Setting Powder that veils the skin for a luminous finish and e.l.f.'s Prime and Stay Finishing Powder which sets makeup and keeps skin free of shine. You can also use face powder for touch-ups throughout the day. Used some setting spray on brush and dipped into shade 4 to get an intensified berry/brown on the outer corner

The mattes seem to fade after 4-5 hours but the metallics save the night because they really do stay put the entire day. There is some fading when it comes to the reflection of the metallics, though! I don’t use an eye primer (because I don’t have one). Conclusion When choosing an eyeshadow palette that complements your skin tone, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. Here's a guide to help you choose the right palette: When I used to do makeup on photoshoots, I’d often take them with me, especially the Hot Jalapeno palette, because it has green eyeshadows inside that I’ve never seen anywhere else (even in Juvia’s Place palettes). That’s really one eyeshadow to wear on top of a same-color eye primer, like a MAC Paint Pot type of product. However, the other three blue shades performed really well and lasted well even on my oily eyelids. Yet, the ELF Bite Size palette in Cream and Sugar is an interesting one to have in your stash if you find yourself reaching out for neutral eyeshadows often.

This reminds me of Wet N Wild’s Color Icon Eyeshadow Quad but the Wet N Wild one had a terrible quality, comparatively! Texture

If you’ve been here before, you know that I’ll use any kind of rainbow eyeshadow palette before I’m caught using nude eyeshadows. It’s just not my vibe and never has been. That, in terms of green eyeshadow palettes, is a standard I did not want to get away from but I didn’t want to cash out a fifty when the full-size ELF eyeshadow palettes are a tenner at most. Figure out your skin's undertone. Is your skin more warm, cool, or somewhere in between? For a warm undertone, think earthy vibes with shades of copper, bronze, rose gold and warm browns. If you have cool undertones, go for jewel tones, blues, purples and even silvers. If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear any color you want. I mentioned the ELF Bite Size eyeshadow palette in Rose Water in my guide to the best pink eyeshadow palettes, simply because if you’re looking for pink and mauve eyeshadows, it’s a great one to have in your makeup kit. A big selling point, to me, for eyeshadow palettes is variety in the color range. I want to be able to see on the eye that multiple colors are being used to create the look, rather than getting the illusion that one shade was applied all over the lid. You can look in the pans of Berry Bad and Acai You and see there is not much variation between the shades, which translates to the eyes. Pumpkin Pie sort of does this too, but not to the extent of the others. This fact is disappointing, but the palettes still have their time and place.There are all different types of face makeup to try. Depending on the look you are going for, you can achieve full coverage or sheer coverage; a dewy, shimmering or matte finish; highlighted and sculpted features; naturally flushed cheeks or high pigment cheek color. Here is a rundown of the most commonly used face makeup: You’ll love how pigmented these shades are for a few dollars. All of the shades that I tried had a serious color payoff. This seems to be a theme with every bite-size eyeshadow from e.l.f. Crazy Affordable All the pictures are absolutely untouched and you can see skin texture, fine lines, and facial hair. 🙂
