Formula Overview

$38.00/0.3 oz. - $126.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to "blur" and "define" with "12 hour staying power" and doesn't "compromise" color. They are also "safe to use on eyes," per the brand. The bronzers were pigmented, blended seamlessly, and were long-wearing; they definitely lived up to their claims!

The texture was smooth, velvety, and almost like it was partially cream-based, but it was more powder than cream. I was worried that it would be difficult to pick up product with brushes, but there were no issues using different brushes from fan to dense bronzer brushes. More importantly, the powder blended itself as it was applied, which made it seem nearly foolproof to work with. The shades tended to wear between nine and 10 hours on me.
