e.l.f. Putty Bronzer, Creamy & Highly Pigmented Formula, Creates a Long-Lasting Bronzed Glow, Infused with Argan Oil & Vitamin E, Tan Lines, 0.35 Oz

I purchased the E.L.F. Putty Bronzer, Creamy & Highly Pigmented Formula in Honey Drip. I was looking for a product that would add a nice bronze tone to my face without looking cakey and thick. I’ve purchased E.L.F. products in the past and was always pleased so this bronzer appealed to me, and the price was good. The description states “Putty to Powder Finish”. To me “powder finish” implies a somewhat cakey look and I didn’t experience that. The color is deep and applies smoothly with a creamy feel and my skin felt soft and smooth and silky. I liked that it could be applied with a finger or a brush. My preferred method is to use a flat brush and build the color for a deeper bronze appearance. I also experienced more control when using it for contouring. The bronzer has a slight glow, but I only noticed it in a brighter environment. For me there is added moisture which is needed in an arid climate. I also noticed that the color lasted throughout the day. However, I haven’t worn the product on occasions when I was out in the rain or snow for any length of time and with that said, I can’t attest to the product being long lasting in these conditions. So just something to think about. Overall, I’m very pleased with the bronzer. It applies easily, is creamy and I’m able to build it to the color that works for me, and the price is good. It’s versatile in that it can be a bronzer or used for contouring. I highly recommend this product.

I am obsessed with the e.l.f. Putty Bronzer! This product is hands down one of the best cream bronzers I’ve tried—especially at such an affordable price. ✨ Why I Love It: ✅ Blendability – This bronzer melts into the skin effortlessly, blending like a dream without any patchiness. ✅ Buildable Pigment – Whether I want a soft, natural warmth or a more sculpted look, it layers beautifully. ✅ Lightweight & Creamy – It has the perfect balance of creaminess without being greasy, making it ideal for all skin types. ✅ Long-Lasting – Once it sets, it stays put all day without fading or looking cakey. ✅ Perfect Shade Range – There are options for every skin tone, and the neutral undertones make it look so natural. ✅ Affordable & High-Quality – You get luxury performance at a drugstore price—what more could you ask for?

This bronzer is a light color, which I like but I find it hard to use. The cream is very thick and firm and I find that a brush doesn’t take it up well and I don’t blend it well or get too much when I use my fingers. It does last well and looks natural.

This is a fantastic color if you need a truly cool toned bronzer. It comes off very gray in the pot, but if you need cool, it looks very natural on the skin. The ease of use is not great, to get real color onto a brush, you had to use a lot product. With fingers or a sponge, application was less controlled

The e.l.f. Putty Bronzer has quickly become one of those products I reach for every single day. The formula is incredibly smooth—literally melts into the skin without looking muddy or patchy. It blends like a dream, giving the perfect natural warmth that looks like real sun-kissed skin. What I love most is how buildable it is. You can keep it soft and subtle for everyday wear or layer it for a more sculpted, bronzed look. The finish is that ideal natural matte—not shiny, not flat—just beautifully skin-like. It wears all day, doesn’t get greasy, and works well on both bare skin and over foundation. And for the price?? It feels like a total steal. If you want a creamy bronzer that’s easy to work with, flattering, and budget-friendly, the e.l.f. Putty Bronzer is definitely a must-try. ☀️✨

I purchased Luminous Putty Bronzer in 'Vacay Mood' and Putty Bronzer in 'Feelin' Shady' they are the same color except the 'Luminous Putty Bronzer has a slight sheen. The review for each is the same. This is a smooth sheer cool grayish beige cream. This works well as a contour as its the same color as the shadow cast on the skin, which is what contouring tries to recreate. I also use this as a color toner for my face. Just as a purple shampoo is used to neutralize the brassy orange tones in blonde hair, I use this to cool down blush, eyeshadow and lipstick that looks too orange on my skin and I only use my fingers. Used alone as a bronzer this is too gray and will make you look like a black and white photograph of yourself. You still need blush and lip color with this. Overall this is a useful product that gets me using colors I already bought but sit unused (which is a waste of money). Buy one shade or the other, you don't need both.

I love how creamy and easy to blend this bronzer is! It gives a natural, sun-kissed look without being patchy. The color is perfect and lasts all day — honestly, such a good product for the price! 🌞💫

I’m fairly light skinned and I don’t think this product is dark enough for me though it works well, I would need a darker color. May look darker on the patch test I did on my hand, but I do believe that is only because of the light in the room otherwise, I can barely see it on my skin.
