NYX: Matte Bronzer In Light Review

" Perfect for Spring, Summer and beyond! – the Matte Bronzers have arrived! Achieve a natural and healthy looking complexion using any of the powder bronzers available in many shades. Perfect for that desired honey glow all year long! " - NYX

How many bronzers does one woman need? Apparently I decided I needed another one.  I already have quite a stash of bronzers in my makeup collection but I wanted something a bit lighter for an all over natural look. When it comes to bronzers, I search for something that matte, non shimmery and not too orange on my skin. This Bronzer is perfect! I've been using using it for over two months now and I must admit, it's my holy grail Bronzer!

NYX MATTE BRONZER

LIGHT #1

RRP: $17.95 AUD

I've been mixing up the NYX Bronzer for a more defined & contoured look. First ill use the Real Techniques Blush Brush to sweep across my face, to warm it up a bit. Then using NARS Ita brush to define / contour to sculpture my face. The shade is a very neutral, isn't to orange, nor 'muddy'. I use this for all over  and it even when I pile it on, it still looks natural.

The packaging is so lovely. So sleek looking and has a mirror inside which is always nice to have in most any compact product. The fact that the texture is matte is a big selling point for me. I'm not crazy about shimmery bronzers and most bronzers out there have way too much shimmer for my liking. It is well pigmented and it doesn't take much to add dimension and contour to my face with this. 

Overall, I think this is a beautiful warm bronzer that has excellent color payoff and is something I can easily work with. It is a beautiful product, Super easy to blend, plus it's fully matte. I definitely recommended everyone to try this product. :)

Rimmel London: Match Perfection Bronzer

When it comes to warmer months, everyone loves that natural, flawless sun kissed look. Instead of using those silly fake tanning sprays, Rimmel London has a Bronzer that can give the results of a golden goddess without laying outside in the smoking hot sun.

RIMMEL LONDON

Match Perfection Bronzer

RRP: $16.95

www.priceline.com.au

As I'm a huge lover for bronzers, I love to try all different types, to see what brands have the best pigments, results, colour lasting and sometimes the design of the product. Rimmel London Match Perfection Bronzer has quite a unique design, it had a swirl pattern, kinda reminds me of the sand from the beach. With three different tones of shades. Darker tan, Lighter tan than a small blue centre containing an embossed Rimmel crown.

The centre contains Blue Sapphire pigments that help boost a healthy looking glow and to counteract those orange tones, to give a fresher natural tanned look. Seeing the blue was kinda odd, as I've never seen anything like that before, it's invisible when switched, so you don't have to worry about a blue line across your face. 

This Bronzer goes on real smooth, and doesn't have that orange or harsh tones. Although it does have a golden shimmer to it, which can be toned down if you blend really well. Just a simple sweep across the cheeks and youve got that summer bronze glow.

Curtis Collection By Victoria.

Bronzed Goddess

RRP: $49.95

www.curtiscollection.com.au

This Bronzer is the intimate goddess glow with this sophisticated, silk-like bronzing powder. It's been added to my makeup routine. It's a gorgeous matte baked formula, that transforms your complexion in one single sweep that applies on sheer but can be built up as you go. Leaving you looking healthy, radiant and naturally kissed by the sun. This product will create a healthy, natural looking glow towards your skin that looks like a summer tan all year round. It doesn't leave hush lines nor fades through out the day. I love how it leaves a natural glow.

The package reminds me of MAC, in a circle compact with no mirror / brush. It's kept simple and cute with a "V" for Victoria on it, with all the ingredients featured on the back. It's a fair big size that can last you awhile and can easily be packed inside your purse without overloading.
