Sculpt Your Cheeks for a Fresh, Rested Look – Elian Russia Silk Obsession Sculptor Review

Hey there! 😊

I’m not a die‑hard Elian collector, but after trying three of their top‑selling products I got pretty curious. So here’s the lowdown on the sculptor I’m pretty sure I’ll be reaching for every day.

Elian Russia Silk Obsession SculptorGrabbed it on sale for 800 ₽ – you won’t find a cheaper deal on the big marketplaces

Visually the sculptor looks exactly like the Silk Obsession powder. By the way, I already used up that powder, so this was a natural next step. The case is sturdy, survives drops and lives happily in my bag or makeup pouch. The lid never popped off, the branding stayed crisp – that’s a big reason I chose this one. In the budget‑to‑mid‑range contour world, you rarely see quality packaging; most brands use a flimsy clear cap that flies off after a month or two. Elian gives you a nice mirror and a touch of aesthetic that feels thoughtful. The amount is generous – a solid 9 g.

Lots of buyers (myself included) complained about the refill falling out of the powder packaging right after purchase. Elian fixed that issue with this sculptor.

The formula lives up to its name – silky, ultra‑fine powder with a super‑fine grind and a dense press. It loads onto a brush nicely, doesn’t puff up into a cloud (as long as you’re using a soft brush), and lands on the skin smoothly. You won’t get a harsh streak or a solid line because the pigment isn’t “core‑heavy,” which is a plus. In that respect it holds its own against luxury brands where the product is applied gradually and under control. Just a heads‑up: the sculptor isn’t transparent, so you don’t need to pile it on until it looks blue‑ish. The shadow effect shows up after the first swipe – it’s soft, veiled, and very natural. The shade is a single, but wow, what a shade! It’s a sandy‑brown, not orange, with a subtle rose‑tinge that only shows up on the skin and never looks garish. If you’re a fan of gray‑toned cheekbones, this might not be your jam – a couple of years ago I probably would have passed on it. But honestly, this hue lifts the whole look. It defines the bone structure and makes the face look fresher and more rested. That little pink undertone ties everything together, making the makeup feel balanced, like you’ve applied sculptor, bronzer, and maybe a hint of blush all at once.

The color isn’t overly bright or orange‑y; it sits right on the edge between warm and neutral, so it works for most Slavic‑type skin tones.

I have to give a shout‑out to the staying power – in my experience this is one of the longest‑lasting sculptors I’ve tried. On top of Elian’s foundation it stayed put until the evening, didn’t smudge, and the correction stayed exactly where I left it. Bottom line. This is a fantastic sculptor from Elian – beautiful packaging, silky formula, and a shade that actually works. I’ll definitely keep using it.
