e.l.f. Studio HD Blush in Headliner

Hello guys. Another day, another review. I'm happy to be not reviewing a lipstick to make things interesting. I'm also on a sort-of blush phase right now but not as much as I love buying lipstick. *_*

For today, I have an e.l.f. (will now be henceforth referred to as just "elf" to make things easier for me) product, from their Studio line: elf Studio HD Blush. I bought three shades but for today, I will be reviewing "Headliner."

Before anything else, let  me give you a bit of background on these cream blushes. There are currently five shades available: Headliner, Superstar, Diva, Encore, Showstopper. These blushes are one of elf's bestsellers and they should capitalize on that by churning out more colors, maybe release new ones every season.

Swatches: e.l.f. Studio HD Blush in Headliner (L) No Flash, (R) With Flash

Headliner is a light/medium pink with a matte finish. This shade is the lightest, most natural from the line. This color is perfect for those with lighter complexions because it imparts a natural-looking flush which is not too over the top.

Despite the light color, this blush is very pigmented, and I only need two tiny dots to cover both my cheeks. I used my fingers to apply the product and had no problems doing so. I finished it off using a stippling brush to blur out edges. The cream is very blendable but you have to remember to work quickly as you don't get enough time to spread it across your cheeks before it dries.

And speaking of drying time, after the blush sets, it was basically budge-proof. It leaves behind a stain that's very long-wearing. On me, it lasted about 6 hours, on top of foundation and sunscreen.
