Hi ladies,
I have already reviewed Physicians Formula Bronze Booster in “Fair to Medium.” I found it too light for my skin tone (NC40). It isn’t a total waste, but then, it is not for sharp contouring either. Luckily, in my Physicians formula haul, I had picked up the same bronzer in “Medium to Dark” too. Read on further for detailed review on Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Airbrushing Bronzing Veil Deluxe Edition.
My Experience with Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Airbrushing Bronzing Veil Deluxe Edition:
This powder is pressed in a different way than the Glow Booster powder that I had previously reviewed and that’s why the brand calls it “Deluxe Edition.” It is not a limited edition product, just named “deluxe” because the brand claims that it ‘delivers a skin-perfecting finish unlike any other bronzer’ that they had to call it “Deluxe!”

My Experience with Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Airbrushing Bronzing Veil Deluxe Edition:
Look at the product.. isn’t it gorgeous?! This is one of those products that look too pretty to touch. I would rather keep it in my vanity just to feel good by just looking at it, but then, I have a responsibility towards IMBB, so I had to dip my fingers in 😛
This bronzer comes in a cardboard box, open from front. The box has a cut to it so that product can be hanged on to a rod. The actual box is slightly bigger than the cardboard dimensions so it sits tight inside. Every detail related to the product has been mentioned on the box. The main pan is a bulky, plastic box which is not at all travel friendly, it’s so bulky. It has a gigantic smoldering sun design embossed on it with beautiful rays swirling around it. Under the pan, there is a small brush provided, that’s a perfect shape to contour and also a mirror (here the mirror is under the bronzer pan and the lid of the box is transparent of course because the world needs to see how beautiful the carving on the bronzer is). This size of mirror is not helpful, so I would rather advice the brand to get rid of it and give me more product in exchange. Alas! This level of customization is still awaited in makeup world!
The shade is not very deep, it is a warm bronze, chocolate-y shade with tons of gold dusted over it. I have not used it much that I could go a layer beneath the top one, but what I have heard is that the gold dust is only on the top layer, and does not run through whole of the product, so matte lovers, there is something for you as well in this bronzer.
I love the way this bronzer applies on the skin – it blends really well without leaving sharp edges, and looks very natural and glowy. The gold dust makes it glowy, not chunky at all, which I thought initially would happen. However, it doesn’t layer well at all; it settles into pores and becomes chalky if I try to build up the intensity. The longevity is pretty good: I have combination skin and lasts well over eight hours on me. However, it cannot be layered over and over as it becomes chalky. The texture is powdery buttery, just make sure you tap excess from the brush before applying.
The first glance makes us think that this would make me look like a disco ball, but actually, it makes you radiant.

Would I Recommend Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Airbrushing Bronzing Veil Deluxe Edition?
Absolutely yes! It’s an affordable, beautiful shade of bronzer. Having said that, I will still reach out for my Too Faced Soleil bronzer because sometimes I want my bronzer to be pure matte. This cannot be the only bronzer you can have in your stash, but if you have picked it up, you will surely find ways to use it because it is so pretty and smooth. Do swatch and try this before making a decision.
