ELF Studio Radiance Enhancer Review & Swatches

The new ELF Studio Radiance Enhancer is a very interesting product.  Since highlighter pens are becoming more popular, ELF decided to hop on too.  This comes in 3 different shades: Spotlight, Golden, Sunrise. The swatches for Spotlight and Golden are pretty accurate on the website but they seem a little color blind for Sunrise.




Spotlight
Spotlight seems to be a common name used for ELF products but the color of the radiance enhancer and the shimmering facial whip both are quite different.  Also, the formula of both products are different.  The shimmering facial whip is a bit more runny.

  The radiance enhancer is a pale pink/lilac color. When blended out, it gives a whiteish pink tint. Also Spotlight has less sparkles compared to Sunrise and Golden.

Sunrise

Sunrise is a gorgeous strawberry bronze.  When spread out, there is only a slight tint of red and would lovely on the cheek.

Golden

Golden is what the name says, a beautiful glistening gold.  This is perfect for a golden goddess glow.

The applicator is a soft brush similar to most pen products (lipgloss/concealer) that I've used. The problem with that is bacteria can harvest in it once you've used it once.

Overall
The colors are gorgeous and the formula is not watery and easy to blend.  But the problem with this product is they rub off quickly so try your best not to touch it.  For $3, this is fun to play with but I probably would not repurchase it.  The $1 Shimmering Facial Whip lasts longer and comes in more colors.
