ELF All Over Coverstick as dupe for NARS The Multiple

I don't really remember the reason why I bought this ELF cover stick but now looking at it again, I am happy I purchased this. Earlier today while I was looking through the contents inside my train case I picked up the ELF all over coverstick and swatched it.

Last month when I attended the Nars workshop with Marc Christopher Gale, one of the products we used was The Multiple in Copacabana. The Multiple is a multi-purpose stick for the eyes, lips, cheeks and body. You can practically use this stick for everything. The product has subtle shimmers which is great for highlighting and creating dewy glowy complexions. During the workshop, we used The Multiple as eye shadow base to give a bright glowing effect to whatever shadow you decide to put on. So where am I leading? Well today I discovered that ELF All Over Cover Stick in Persimmon is a great dupe of NARS The Multiple in Copacabana.


Here is why:

All Over Color Stick

3 in 1 color for your eyes, lips, and or face! Get the color that illuminates for a healthy glow, and instantly soothes and conditions the skin for fresh and natural color all day long.



Here's the swatch on my hand:




Used as a base for eye shadow:




Swatch on the left is without the ELF coverstick and the one on the right is with the soverstick. From the swatch alone, you can see that the color is more vibrant. And because of the subtle shimmer of the coverstick it also gives the shadow a nice glow to it.

IMO the ELF all Over Coverstick is a perfect Dupe for the NARS Multiple. I don't own a NARS Multiple however when I tried it, I honestly felt I could do away with such a product since it's also very pricey at $37. But for those who are more of on the go type of people, or those who want to achieve a subtle glow to your look but on a budget, I suggest getting the ELF All Over Coverstick. The product is only PHP120 if I am not mistaken in any SM Deprartment Store. Also because of the cheap price, I suggest keeping one in your traincase just in case, you never know you may need this product for a certain situation. And with its many uses Im sure you'll be able to put this product to use.


P.S A few days till I turn 23. Still don't know what to do then. I hope my parents give me make up. LOL

Also just some reviews and posts to look forward to:

1. STILA Smudgepots in Black, Blue and Grey
2. Graftobian Foundation Palette in Warm 2
3. Graftobian Pro Powder in Cleopatra



Toodles! :)
