Essence Bronzing Shimmer Compact Powder – Bronzing Queen
“Its not just the summery motif that will grab your attention. The shimmer particles in this silky soft powder give face, arms and decolletage a sexy summer tan.”
First of all, shimmer compact is enough to put you off.I mean who roams around with shimmer on the face, during the day.Now this says bronzer, yes it is surely a bronzer and it is a shade or two darker than my skin. Basically it is a darker compact powder with diffused golden shimmer to it.The shimmer is not very concentrated but it is good enough to be noticeable when someone talks to you. This gold twinkles and it will be noticeable since the gold particles are chunky. They are not OTT but they are not finely milled shimmer particles.
The compact comes in a functional compact powder like the mattifying one they have.The color is nice and not too dark for me.The color can be layered honestly, in one swipe I could not see much color added to the face.The color can be used for contouring but you will need a base like foundation or primer for it to stick on.Then you would also need to layer it on and on for some color to show.I am light to medium but if you have a lighter and pale skin, then probably this will show sooner.
The best use of this bronzer is to add warmth to the entire face, it is not a contour powder essentially, let us not mix it. This is basically a bronzer, adding warm bronzed tanned glow to the face.For that this product is very apt.If you are darker and this powder matched you, you could dust it on the face easily, and get some shine with the sparkle and add some depth to a flat foundation. I think if I were tanned, this would be my setting make powder for evening and parties, it is that good for warm glow.The powder itself is matte but I love the color and what it does to the skin.This is not a very good contour powder remember.
The texture is quite smooth but slightly on the chalky side,the powder flies a lot too during application.It lasts on me for around 4 plus easily, on days my skin does not sweat.So yes, staying power is not bad at all.You can try this for the pocket-friendly cost it comes in.
