Texture & Application

Pros:

  • "Glides on really easily and doesn't feel greasy at all."
  • "Goes in creamy and smoothly blends to perfection."
  • "It just glides on in one swipe per cheek."
  • "Its very creamy going on and then blends so beautifully."
  • "The texture of this multi stick is so incredibly creamy and soft, allowing for effortless blending and application."
  • "Easy to apply and spread."
  • "Nice color, easy to blend."

Cons:

  • "This product is slightly hard to blend and if applied directly onto the face it looks like your face is bruised."
  • "It seeped into my pores even after placing foundation and powder on my face."
  • "When applied it removes your foundation, it's very patchy and hard to blend."
  • "The grit from the shimmer also makes it difficult to blend out."
  • "It is not great as an eyeshadow, it settled into my eye creases almost immediately."
  • "However, when using this as a blush, it sinks into and highlights every pore on my cheeks."
  • "This doesn't blend into my base, just wipes away."

Color & Pigmentation

Pros:

  • "The color is perfect for my skin tone too so I am able to use it for all three."
  • "Color is fantastic, works on eyes lips and cheeks."
  • "Guava matches dark skin! Gorgeous, rich color."
  • "The color compliments my skin very well."
  • "The color was pretty and subtle."
  • "The Dazzling Peony shade adds a soft, rosy hue that is universally flattering and suitable for various skin tones."
  • "I love the color of ‘Bronzed Cherry’ I use it for eyeshadow and blush."

Cons:

  • "The fact that it's so sparkly is probably the most disappointing thing about it."
  • "It is so sparkly, that after applying even a thin layer of blush on my cheeks, I look like a clown."
  • "Instead, on my very fair skin with pink undertones, it's an unflattering, muddy brown color."
  • "This shade is too close to my natural skin color and too sheer to really be seen much."
  • "The 'pink' of the peony shade is actually closer to salmon-pink or something."
  • "The shade Glistening Peach has almost no pigment."
  • "For brown/ desi skin you can hardly see the peach color on the cheeks."

Longevity & Performance

Pros:

  • "I wore it as blush for 2 days in Disney and held up well, especially with the heat."
  • "I wore it all day at a work function and it did not budge."
  • "Color stays all day and looks like I’ve been sun kissed instead of 'made up'."
  • "Once applied, it stays put throughout the day, without fading or smudging."
  • "It stays as well as any product I've ever used although I always use a setting powder and spray with my makeup."
  • "Lasts all day."
  • "I was delighted that it stays on both my cheeks and lips for a long time."

Cons:

  • "I find that I constantly have to reapply during the day."
  • "It isn’t the most long lasting, I have to layer it a lot."
  • "The color doesn't last even 30 minutes."
  • "It did not last very long on my eyelids or cheeks. Maybe an hour or so."
  • "Even if you manage to keep the product on your cheeks and tap it with your fingers which I tried, it is gone by the next time you gotta use the bathroom."
  • "Unfortunately it doesn’t have great staying power."
  • "On the downside, the color fades after a few hours, like any lipstick."

Value & Packaging

Pros:

  • "I figured at the price, I’d give this one a shot."
  • "This is a neat, inexpensive, necessary addition to my makeup basics."
  • "Can't beat the price, better than the $30 plus products."
  • "At $5 a tube its a bargain."
  • "Very affordable and great color for cheeks and lips."
  • "Quite the deal for only five bucks! Will definitely purchase this again."
  • "Can't believe the price! It is worth so much more than what you pay!"

Cons:

  • "That means it’ll cost $8 freaking dollars on this per month. No mas."
  • "This is an EXTREMELY small container that has quite a small amount of product in it."
  • "Product is a lot smaller than expected."
  • "It is a very small size! Elf is not an expensive brand. I would never pay over $5.00 for something barely even sample sized!"
  • "To say this new Elf product suffers from shrinkflation is an understatement."
  • "This chubby thing is too wide and too small for what you pay."
  • "It was so tiny like the ones they give away for trial size."

Multi-Use & Versatility

Pros:

  • "Not only is it a good blush with a very subtle shimmer, but can also be used on lips and on the face for a healthy glow when strategically (and lightly) swiped across forehead, nose & chin."
  • "I love how it can be used for lips, cheeks, eyes!"
  • "I love that it can be worn as an eyeshadow, lipstick or a blush."
  • "Triple use of this product is great; i.e., for cheeks, lips, and eyes and it is economical."
  • "I even used it on my lips for a natural looking boost."
  • "Looks great on cheeks, lips & eyes."
  • "First time using a monochromatic product and it really does well on lips, cheeks and eyelids!"

Cons:

  • "I do not like it for eyelids though."
  • "When I use it on my eyelids, it gets into my eyes and my eyes burn."
  • "It might be ok for the lips or can be used as an eye shadow, but be aware that it is super sparkly on the cheeks."
  • "The absolute worst part is that the description says they are fine for lips, but I would add that is true only if you enjoy eating sand."
  • "It’s really fat so putting it on your eyelids is difficult and requires a brush."
  • "But when you use it as lipstick, you have to be careful because the stick is a little too large."
  • "It works better on cheeks but after experiencing that sandy texture in my mouth as of I was eating sand I don’t even want to use it at all."
