Beauty Care: Vieve Medium Modern Bronzer Duo Review & Swatches

Medium

Vieve Medium Modern Bronzer Duo ($43.00 for 0.64 oz.) includes two warmer, more orange/caramel-toned shades of semi-matte bronzing powders. They performed decently with semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation and seven-to-eight hour wear, though the textures were on the more powdery/drier side.

Medium (Left)

Medium (Left) is a light-medium, orange-brown with strong, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without much effort. The texture was fairly soft, though a little on the powdery side with a touch of dryness. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed to offer a "foolproof" formula with a "finely milled, soft-satin finish." The brand said that a "little goes a long way," and the pigmentation was more intense, as marketed. The textures were soft, smooth, and a little drier (not quite powdery but not silky to the touch).

The bronzers applied fairly evenly to bare skin, blended out without too much effort, and did seem to sit on my skin better than the blush range (which this is supposed to be modeled after!). I think that they can look a little powdery when layered over more matte foundation, though, and are not the most seamless applied on my skin--something about the bronzer powder was a little heavy in look once applied and blended out.

The majority of shades lasted between seven and eight hours on me.
