Phytosurgence Golden Twilight (11) Spectral Sunlight Cream Bronzer Review & Swatches

Phytosurgence Golden Twilight (11) Spectral Sunlight Cream Bronzer

Golden Twilight (11)

Phytosurgence Golden Twilight (11) Spectral Sunlight Cream Bronzer ($25.50 for 0.21 oz.) is a deep brown with muted, warm yellow undertones and a soft, matte finish once it dried down.

  • Medium to semi-opaque, buildable coverage (as described)
  • Lightly emollient initially but more powder-like on skin; lightweight, thin
  • Slightly firmer in compact overall than average cream bronzer formula
  • Picked up evenly with synthetic brush, blended out effortlessly
  • Long-wearing (9 hours before fading noticeably)

Formula Overview

$25.50/0.21 oz. - $121.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be a "hybrid powder-cream" that is "weightless" and "dries down to a natural satin finish." The brand recommended using something like a stippling brush to pick up product adequately, and they note that the formula is "not designed to be used with fingers." The coverage is described as "pigmented" but that they "still contain an element of translucency."

The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque and easily blended out for a sheerer effect if desired; it definitely felt like I could get higher coverage if desired but it wasn't a struggle to dial it down or apply it in layers instead. I think they lend themselves to an easy medium coverage initial layer overall.

The cream bronzers applied effortlessly using synthetic brushes, whether fluffy (like the brand's Sky Fluff) or a bit stiffer, though not that dense, like a stippling brush. They do work with fingertips, but the brand didn't recommend them for application and stated that over time it may impact texture, though not performance--just for those who may prefer fingertip applicator with cream products.

While the consistency felt lightly emollient, lightweight, and had some slip initially, once the product was applied to skin, it had a more powder-like application and feel. The cream bronzers had a soft matte finish that slightly "blurred" my skin ("velvet matte" might be a more apt descriptor) and never emphasized skin texture.

Most shades lasted nearly nine hours on me before fading a bit, while the lightest shades seemed to be closer to eight hours and the deeper, more rosy-toned shades were just over nine hours on me.
