Formula Overview

$12.00/0.21 oz. - $57.14 Per Ounce

The product is described as having a "natural matte finish" with a "long-wearing and transfer-resistant" formula. It doesn't indicate the pigmentation level in either direction, so for review purposes, the expectation is for higher coverage. They had mostly opaque to opaque pigmentation, though they remained blendable and easy to use with a lighter hand for sheerer and/or more buildable coverage if preferred.

The consistency was finely-milled, thin, and lightly powdery in the pan, while the bronzer applied well to bare skin and on top of foundation and blended out with little effort, even the deeper shades. Most shades wore well for eight hours on my skin before showing signs of fading.
