Old formula
I used the old formula so not sure if it's the same consistency. It leaves a matte finish bit is quite hard to apply.

My favorite product from elf
I really love these. They go on light, which allows you a lot of flexibility to get exactly how much pigment you want. Where are some other types of flush like this are too strong out of the gate. The Bora Bora pink is very natural looking and is my everyday blush.

Affordable - Very pigmented, long-lasting!
I have the shade Tahiti and Maldives, and I love the color of both of these. You don't need to apply a lot of product to get a beautiful, natural-looking blush. I find that it lasts very well during the day without setting spray or powder (especially the darker shades, highly recommend Maldives!) My only complaint with this product is that it can be a bit difficult to apply. You need a very stiff brush, otherwise the soft bristles can get stuck to the surface of the putty. It's also not hand friendly—you won't be able to get the product out easily with just your fingers.

My go to blush
I have been using it for years. Shade Bora Bora my perfect pink. Lovely putty texture which is blending nicely. Looks natural and lasts all day. Value for money, I had my pot for years now and I am using it every single day.

Blush
This works amazing if you have the right foundation for it to sit on. The first foundation I have when I went to put on the putty blush it would completely take off my face make up, but with the elf skin tint it sits beautiful.

amazing blush i love it so much
i bought this in Tahiti like 2-3 years ago and it's still going?? the color looks so beautiful on my skin but it comes out kinda weird when i use a brush, and with my fingers it takes me a while to actually apply it and get the pigment to show but at the end it looks really pretty like i love to quickly put it on before school/quick errands, overall i do really like this blush!

I will never go back to powder blush
I used powder blush since I was 13 years old. When I turned 59 my daughter taught me how to apply cream blush with a brush, and I have never gone back to powder. ELFs putty blush applies so easily and is long lasting. I like to alternate between colors. I can even wear the darker shades like Maldives as long as I apply it lightly. I’m always going to be a big fan of ELFs putty blush.

Blends Like Butter
This is an incredible entry-level blush. I’ve been hesitant to jump into the blush trend, but this blends seamlessly.

Lasts forever!
I have had this same blush for a few years. A little goes a long way and lasts throughout the day. I love that I can take it with me if I do my makeup in the car and it will always be good. Highly recommend.
