Thoughts
This was an elusive product for me, I was never able to get my hands on it in store, and finding it online proved just as difficult. Finally I grabbed the last one at my local Target, and I am so happy I did! I am usually someone that would rather spend more money on a bronzer because they can so easily look terrible. Drugstore bronzers are hard to do, and for only 4 bucks, I wasn’t expecting much. As soon as I bought this I ran home to put it on, and I was blown away!
This powder applied so smoothly and naturally, it made me look tanned not orange or patchy. In the pan it looks a little warmer than it actually swatches, but on my skin it has the perfect undertone, not too ashy, not too red. This powder is very pigmented, so I try to use a light hand when my skin is looking more fair, but because it is so pigmented, it would also work for more medium skin tones as well. This lasted a surprisingly long time on my face, over 5 hours before it started to fade, and even then it faded in a subtle, natural way.
If you have been looking for a drugstore bronzer (and don’t want to spend at least 15 bucks on Physician’s Formula) try your hardest to track this gem down!
Glowingly yours,
