rms beauty Madeira Bronzer Luminizing Powder Review & Swatches
Madeira Bronzer
rms beauty Madeira Bronzer Luminizing Powder ($38.00 for 0.52 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with warm, reddish undertones and a golden sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was soft without being too firmly pressed in the pan, yet it wasn’t powdery or thin either. The powder applied evenly to my skin and “melted” as I buffed and blended out the product. It had a noticeable sheen but wasn’t overly shimmery, so it didn’t emphasize my skin’s texture even worn at higher coverage levels. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a touch.

Formula Overview
$38.00/0.52 oz. - $73.08 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "silky smooth, moisturizing, [and] luminizing." The three shades that it comes in were consistent: very pigmented, creamy and smooth to the touch, and lasted between eight and nine hours. The texture was thinner and firmer, as there was no powderiness, but it was yielding and easy to pick up with a brush. The powders applied evenly to bare skin, blended out easily, and never emphasized my skin's natural texture.

God, that is so pretty!!!
I’ve just ordered the Savannah Peach collection – I’ve never purchased anything from rms before but it looks like the quality is there! This is going on my Beautylish wishlist, for sure!
Fingers crossed!
It looks lovely – has a beautiful natural looking finish.
Y’all know how Goldilocks is looking for that perfect porridge, and one this one’s too hot, that one’s too cool, eh? Then she finds the one that’s just right? This is my “just right” bronzing blush, I believe! Not orange, nor too dull. I’m in LOVE!
Now to find a tester….
I see a lot of pink in my monitor. This looks like a good one for cool-toned ladies. Very pretty.
