Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder Review & First Impressions

Lately with all the travelling I have derived upon some of my must haves star products that I absolutely can’t do without. Few products out of those are so versatile that they can give you a sun-kissed glow without needing to add any layers of additional make-up on your face. I know doing the full face, following all the right steps is important but when you are pressed for time and getting ready in a jiffy has a whole new meaning, then you try to work with what you have reducing as many products as possible.

Those of you who Follow me on Snapchat already know about my must have beauty products for all times especially during travel. You also have to keep in mind to not over use a lot of products while travelling and let your skin hydrate naturally by using few quintessential products.

Check out my previous review of Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit.

That brings me to one of my most favourite make-up product of all time, be it during travelling or otherwise – “Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder” in the shade “Golden Light”.

Here is what I like about Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder :

It comes in a sturdy packaging and has a strong and sleek looking compact body that can take a few falls trust me.
The size of the bronzing powder compact is bigger than the usual packs.
It comes with a huge handy mirror attached inside the lid and the push button and snap closure mechanism is so easy to use and handle.
Coming to the texture of Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder, it is as matte as they get. The texture is silky smooth and it glides through your skin easily.
This Golden Light shade is ideal for fair to very fair skin tones for the perfect sun kissed glow.
It adds a soft and slightly goldenish tan to your skin.
I would recommend using a flat brush with it for easy application.
It won’t cause any lines or streakiness on your skin, instead this bronzing powder mixes up easily with your previous make-up and becomes a part of your skin.

I never notice any product build-up or chunkiness / heaviness, post its application.
This product doesn’t have any sheer to it and the silky smooth finish makes it my most favourite bronzer for an easy-going bronzed look.
One can actually use slightly more of this product to make it work as a contour too.
Since it is super pigmented you need only a few strokes of your brush to get the job done.

What could be better :

The golden light shade is mostly mistaken for a sheer or shimmer finish. Be completely sure to read the details before buying incase you want sheer, then this isn’t the bronzer for you.
The golden light shade is slightly darker for very pale and extremely fair skin with pink tones. You need to use very little product. I wish there was a slightly less intense shade too especially for pinkish tones.
I feel the red undertones are slightly on the heavy side and a perfect balance of red and brown tones would have been ideal.

How to use – Swirl your brush in the bronzing powder twice and tap off the potential excess product from it. In a back and forth motion, start at the top of your cheek bones, taking all the way down to your usual contour area. Don’t forget to cover near your hairline, at the forehead, nose and chin. Make sure to go over your jawline and cover your neck as well. Hence, it is of utmost importance to pick a Bronzing Powder that compliments both your face and body.
