Formula Overview

$36.00 -

It's supposed to be a "cream-to-powder formula" that gives a "soft-focus, sun-kissed glow." Compared to the brand's cream blushes, which are thicker and almost "heavy" with a more traditionally cream formula, the bronzer has a more powder-cream feel that became quite powder-like once it came into contact with my skin, but it still retained some glide of a cream-based formula.

The product applied well to bare skin as well as on top of foundation regardless of being applied with fingertips or brushes, which did make it quite easy to use. I preferred to use fingertips to pat it into place, as I found this delivered the fastest application for me (though this is my go to technique for cream and liquid products).

The brand didn't seem to indicate what level of coverage this product would have, and the coverage was quite pigmented with little product necessary to achieve that effect, but it was easy to diffuse and sheer out (as well as to just use less to start with).

The formula lasted for eight and a half hours on me typically.
