The Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer (£33) is dedicated to where some bronzers fall short. "I made sure to do all the things that I don't want to see — I wanted to tackle that first, so that this performs in a perfect way for you," Soare shared.
"Cream-bronzer product picks up. It applies a ton of payoff on your body or face, and when you blend it out, the consistency is so slippery that you end up removing most of the product," she added. "It can also have a lot of slip — especially if it's formulated with silicones, it would leave a 'ghosting' effect on the skin (areas that get much darker than the rest of the face). Also, when it is slippery and pulls on the skin, it will stick to anything, especially if powder is involved, creating dark patches."
So, as a resolution, the formula was inspected under a microscope to tackle these issues. The Cream Bronzer is matte, creamy, and butter-smooth, and it blends and dries down to a matte and even finish and tackles undertones. It's pigmented, so you need the lightest of touches as the warm yet satin-like consistency transfers from buttery-soft to completely matte on the skin. It's also gripping yet creates a natural veil on the skin. The impressive Cream Bronzer contours, sculpts, and softens the complexion all in one.
