"e.l.f. Putty Blush in Bali is the closest drugstore match — the shade is strikingly similar and the cream-to-powder texture is comparable. Patrick Ta is dewier and more buildable from the first swipe, but for everyday coral blush, e.l.f. delivers."
My verdict
e.l.f. Putty Blush is a genuinely impressive dupe for the cream side of the Patrick Ta duo at a fraction of the price. The blendability and natural finish are comparable — both melt into skin for a seamless flush. Patrick Ta's advantage is the matching powder side in the same compact, which makes the cream-then-powder technique convenient. But you can recreate this by pairing e.l.f. with any matching powder blush (Milani Baked Blush works perfectly) for about $17 total vs. $36. The on-skin result of the layered technique is virtually identical.
