I expected the shades to be quite intense but they’re a lot softer and more flattering on the skin and I’ve seen people make comparisons that the palette offers a similar illuminating effect as the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette but I don’t have the Hourglass Palette so I can’t comment on that but the powders are definitely subtle like the Hourglass powders. The shades within the ELF Studio Illuminating Palette are very soft and sheer and impart a subtle, natural glow to the skin. ELF claim that the powders contain vitamin E and argan oil to help nourish and hydrate the skin but I’ve not noticed any skincare benefits since using the powders so I’m not entirely sure but the oil content definitely makes the powders very soft. The shades within the palette cannot be popped out and interchanged but I have seen photos online of palettes which do have removable pans so I don’t know if they’ve changed the packaging or if this is older packaging but my pans definitely cannot be removed as they’re glued in.ĮLF describe the palette as containing four complementary shades to mix and match for a custom blended radiance that captures, diffuses, and softens the way light reflects on the skin and is perfect for all skin tones. The ELF Studio Illuminating Palette is packaged within a black, matte plastic square palette with a generously sized mirror within the lid and four large square pans of powder highlighters. I was kindly sent a selection of ELF products as they invited me to be a member of the #elfbeautysquad and one of those items was the ELF Studio Illuminating Palette £7.50 which is one of ELF’s newest releases. I used to be a massive ELF fan when they used to have a UK website and I have written fourteen ELF reviews on my blog over the last four years so I was gutted when the news broke that they were closing their UK website. ELF relaunched within the UK in early 2016 however their relaunch was very low key and not many people even know that they now have a UK website again, although it’s important to note that although they have a UK website, the products are shipped from the US to the UK as opposed to UK to UK so you could possibly receive customs fees when placing your order. Yesterday I wrote a review on the luxurious Clarins Contour and Highlighting Palette, and today I have a budget friendly option from ELF.
