Putty Bronzer

I ordered 2 shades of these, I'm fair skinned and never really get on with cream bronzers because they look orange and muddy. Firstly feeling shady - it's grey cool toned and needs built up in layers unless your ghostly white, but it does build up well and is a great contour. Bronzed belle- I loved this, its not orangey at all, blends really well. I feel the 2 shades work well together. Great for mature skin and beginners as it's very hard to mess-up because they're so blendable. Work great on the eyes too.

It's really subtle but buildable which is perfect for me and my ghostly complexion. Very cool undertone which is again, perfect for me. I've always found contours to look heavy and orange on my skin so this is a new must have.

It's a very lightly pigmented cream which is actually good if a cool toned light contour is what you are after... it's very good for contouring the jawline and forehead and blends into the hair line well and looks very natural. It might not be your thing if you are wanting a super snatched look but it's really nice for daytime or if you prefer a no make up makeup.

It doesn't have the greatest staying power on more oily skin and I'm not gone on the formula of this particular one. I got another colour which had a great light texture, this seems more lanolin based, with a better colour (the other one I got in the range had a green/brown edge which was a bit zombie-esk and not at all good for my very pale tone but was so light in consistency and felt nice so thought I would just try another colour (this is more brown tan) as not bad value. Think a crayon type would be better and still searching for a natural contour colour that's light in feel and not like Halloween make up in feel. It's great value and I'm sure great for a lot of people, just not quite right for me.

So I've been using W7 cream bronzer since 2020 and the pot has lasted me that long! I do top up with a powder bronzer and had the odd day not using it but it's a much bigger pot and lasted forever and cheap. However I really wanted to try this one after reviews and the W7 has a slight sparkle I don't always want. This one the colour is amazing and much nicer than the W7. It's cooler and not as Reddy looking. The textures nice. I use a stipple type brush and blend with a kabuki but can't use my kabuki in this pot as it's not wide enough. I do think they should increase pot size. Not sure it will last me that long BUT I would re order still as I really like it.

This actually looks like a shadow for contouring really slimming No orange or warmth at all it’s almost gray sable taupe and excrement will only but this from now on it is excellent for my fair cool skin tone and platinum Blonde hair

Why did you choose this product over others?: Blends to nothing, barley any pigment

Love this. Perfect contour for pale skin. Needs warming up a bit before use in this cold weather else it doesn’t go on a brush very well.

Mooie bronzer. Makkelijk in gebruik en geeft een naturel, gebronsde look. Vervaagt wel na een tijdje dragen, zeker bij een iets meer vette huid.

Wird nicht fleckig und ist leicht aufzutragen für ein schönes Ergebnis!! Kann ich weiterempfehlen 😍😍

I have tried countless makeup products over the years and spent a long time debating: contour, bronzer, or both? I have definitively concluded that I love a cool-toned contour that adds a very natural and buildable shadow. If I want to, I can always add a bit of bronzer later, but the foundation of a good sculpt is this natural shadow. That is why e.l.f.’s Putty Bronzer in the shade Feeling Shady has been such an incredible find. What I love about it: The Perfect Undertone. Feeling Shady is truly cool-toned. Since it lacks orange undertones, it creates a realistic shadow for an elegant finish. Buildable Formula: It is extremely easy to work with. It allows you to go from an almost imperceptible shadow to a more defined contour without looking heavy or cakey. Climate Performance: I spend a lot of time in a warm climate, and I was pleasantly surprised by its durability; it stays in place and blends seamlessly. It will certainly perform impeccably in colder climates or during the winter season. Application Tip (Pro-Tip): I recommend using a fan brush for your cheeks. The key is to coat the brush evenly and apply it gradually. Since it’s so buildable, it’s best to start with a tiny amount and build up the contour until you reach your desired intensity.

This putty bronzer has become a staple in my routine. The formula is super smooth and blends best when applied with fingers — it melts right into the skin for a natural, matte finish. The color is flattering without being too bold, making it perfect for everyday wear. It gives just the right amount of warmth and definition without looking overdone. Great quality for the price. I’very repurchase this many times!

Creamy and pigmented but gives a very natural look
