MUA Bronzer in Shade 3 Review

Hi everyone,

I have never tried any bronzer. I did not want to spend a lot on a bronzer hence got this MUA Bronzer in Shade 3 to get a feel of how a bronzer works. Read on to know what it taught me.

Product Description:
Contouring your face can add a definition to your features. A bronzer and a highlighter is a must go to go in the makeup kit…but finding each and every accessory within your pocket range is a difficult task. Want your first bronzer as a beginner and don’t want to throw away bucks, try MUA bronzer. Part of our incredible £1 line (can you believe it – look at the size of it!) our bronzers come in three different shades depending on your skin tone. Go for a softer golden or a deep luxe bronze shade. Apply down the cheekbones to contour the face and add definition. In Summer, it can even be used all over shoulders and the chest bone as well as legs to create the look of perfection. At just £1, you can afford to reach for it every single day and sweep wherever needed!

Price:
£1 for 5.7 gm of the product.

Shade Descriptions:

My Experience with MUA Bronzer in Shade 3:

MUA bronzer comes in a square transparent container which is pretty cute. The MUA logo is written in silver on the case. It does not contain any mirror or applicator. The packaging doesn’t look cheap or brittle at all. The lid shuts pretty nicely and makes it travel-friendly.  The MUA logo is engraved in the powder. The ingredients list is mentioned at the back of the case.

Shade 3 is a matte bronzer with absolutely zero shimmer. I do not like much glitter on my face and hence chose this shade.

The texture of the bronzer is creamy, it glides on the skin smoothly. It is easily buildable as multiple layers do not turn it chalky. It doesn’t clog pores and hasn’t broken me out. It does require a little work to blend it properly. Unless blended well, it tends to accumulate over spots on the face.

The colour payoff for this bronzer is average. Despite being the darkest shade of the MUA bronzer range, quite a few swipes are needed for the true colour to show up, but being a beginner with bronzers, I am not complaining. It helps me control the coverage on my face rather than ending up with huge coloured blotches.

The staying power of this bronzer is average. It stayed on my combination skin for a decent 3-4 hours.
