Shade & Finish

I tried the Glistening Peach, and it’s truly flattering. Online swatches can make the shades appear darker and shinier than they actually are, but in person this color gives a soft, natural peachy glow with just a hint of shimmer. It’s versatile enough for light skin tones like mine (I never tan), and I can see it working beautifully as both a blush and a subtle lip tint.

The finish is buildable, which is one of the product’s best qualities. With a light swipe, you get a sheer, blended look; with a few more layers, you can achieve more color payoff without it ever looking heavy or cakey.

Application & Performance

  • Blending: The creamy formula glides onto skin smoothly and blends easily, even over foundation or bare skin.

  • Versatility: True to its name, it’s designed for eyes, lips, and cheeks, making it a real multitasker for a quick, cohesive look.

  • Texture: Lightweight and non-greasy, it doesn’t sit on top of the skin or emphasize fine lines — an important factor for mature skin.

As someone who is 71 years old with light skin, I appreciate how effortlessly this product works. It adds a touch of color and radiance without looking overdone. The formula feels modern and fresh, proving that it’s not just for younger women as seen in most promo videos.

Value & Variety

At this price point, the quality-to-cost ratio is excellent. I was so impressed with the Glistening Peach that I already plan to order other shades, like Guava and Peony. The affordability makes it easy to experiment with different colors without breaking the bank.

Who It’s Best For

  • Makeup lovers of all ages, especially those looking for an easy, natural everyday product

  • People who appreciate multitasking products for quick routines

  • Anyone who values budget-friendly beauty without sacrificing performance

  • Travelers or minimalists who prefer compact, multi-use products

Final Thoughts

The e.l.f. Monochromatic Multi Stick in Glistening Peach has quickly become one of the best beauty finds I’ve tried in years. It’s easy to use, flattering, and versatile, with a natural finish that feels timeless rather than trendy. For just $6, it delivers quality that rivals higher-end products, making it a must-try for anyone who wants effortless, radiant color at an unbeatable price.

Rating: 10/10 – Affordable, versatile, and universally flattering. A hidden gem in the drugstore makeup aisle.
