Bobbi Brown illuminating bronzing powder

This is probably one of the more high end bronzers!for a 9 g powder it is fairly expensive! I honestly cannot justify the price because I've used several bronzers from the body shop's honey bronze, to essence, rimmel and most recently my favourite which is Stila! Now being one that detests too much shimmer the reason this particular bronzer works well for me is that when dusted lightly all over my face it seems to function like an illuminating skin enhancer which really adds glow n life to dull sallow dry lacklustre skin! Now if this bronzer is so good you ask why is it that i still have it after all this time? Cos the button to depress and lift the upper part of the compact is broken making the compact a nightmare to use as u have to pry it open with ur nails! My idea of the shades is like this. I would recommend this if you have medium skin! It's a cross between a deep Russet and a coral tone! And could end up looking orange! Light skins should go for Maui or Antigua! Medium skin tones Barbados tan or Aruba . Maui and Antigua have lots of pink in it. Medium - Deep Skin tones go for Bali Brown or Bahamas or Aruba.these shades will look great on almost any skin tone be it pink or corals or golds or brown or bronze that you want to choose! As much as i like this powder i wouldn't repurchase! For me the Stila self adjusting bronzer ticks all boxes in terms of longevity, price and suitability! The broken button on my compact has been a big bugbear for me but honestly this range of bronzers are probably more varied than any other range i know of and therefore you are likely to find one to suit your skin! This is not a case of one for all! This is tailor made to make you look your very best!
