ELF Minerals are a fairly new addition to my mineral collection and I must admit to being hugely impressed! They've got some fantastic colours, all of which are very wearable. I've collected quite a few of them now and I've got plans to write a review and show swatches. At some point!
The eye shadows are £2.50 each and weight 0.85 grams. Sold at EyeLipsFace UK site US Site.
So, here is "Confident":
It is the most beautiful shade of taupe with some silver reflection to it. I'm not normally such a huge taupe fan, but this pigment is surprisingly complex considering it has come from a budget brand.
Admittedly, the pictures on the ELF website are not the best so I might have passed this one over if I hadn't got it in the Basic Browns eye shadow set. The stock photo really does not do this pigment any justice at all! There's far more reflection and complexity to the colour than is shown.
I've used this as a lid shade and a crease shade. It's deep enough to use in the crease with a light look but works as either a dry wash of colour on the lid for a more natural look, or foiled on wet for more drama.
As always, dry on the left and applied wet on the right. Applying wet (foiling) really brings out a delicious metallic sheen! There's plenty of pigmentation with dry application, but it does need a base to stick to.
Well worth checking out, and for £2.50 it's an absolute bargain.
Just a warning, my next Beautiful Pigment is one that was custom made for me!
