Black Radiance Gingersnap Artisan Color Baked Bronzer Review

Product Purchased by IMBB

I don’t usually use bronzers because I have naturally dusky complexion and my skin tend to tan very easily on a very short exposure to sun. High point of my face is ironically my high cheek bones, well not that high but I can accentuate them buy using appropriate blush. Bronzers are another way to do that and I recently purchased one, thanks to IMBB. Following is my take on it.

My Take on Black Radiance Gingersnap Artisan Color Baked Bronzer:

This bronzer reminds me of sheer gold eyeshadow but has more shimmer than color intensity hence works well as a highlighter – I won’t use it in the hollows of my cheeks since it is so sheer and won’t give me any depth, but it would work really well as a highlighting shade.

Packaging:  The product is in a plastic pan which is then attached to a plastic case with a see-through cover. The packaging is not very sturdy and the cover of the case is a little wobbly. However, I love how the product is pressed into the pan even though it has no in-built mirror or a brush.

Texture:  It’s a baked powder bronzer with no fall out and homogeneous shimmer. One can dab off the excess from the brush while applying to remove any loose pigment. It is very soft in texture and blends effortlessly.

Color:  Very pretty light tan-bronze hue with varying intensity of brown in each shade. It does not have big chunky shimmer particles which get transferred or spread all over the place, but has really smooth particles, like baby powder which give a homogeneous finish.

Pigmentation:  Awesome pigmentation if used as a highlighter. One sweep is enough for a cheek, in fact more than that might look too garish and unnatural. Fair skin tones can use it as a bronzer, but I personally avoid shimmer bronzers for contouring. If one uses this product, then a highlighter is not required since it has a highlighter shade and is perfect for accentuating cheek bones, brow bone and Cupid’s bow.

Shimmer and Shine:  It has a very pretty sheen to it, but one has to exercise caution while using it or your face might end up looking too greasy or orange, especially during summer. If used sparingly, it can give a good lift to cheek bones, hide double chin, and slim down chubby nose.

Staying Power:  Entire day or till it is removed, however, the shimmer particles might transfer a little if subjected to vigorous rubbing.
