Kosas Medium Baked Bronzer Review & Swatches
Medium
Kosas Medium Sun Show Moisturizing Baked Bronzer ($34.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with subtle, warm reddish undertones and a satin finish. It had very fine, gold pearl running through the finish, so it didn’t appear overtly shimmery to my eye but had a glowing sheen as it was blended and buffed onto my skin.
The texture was smooth, silky, and not too powdery nor too firmly pressed (or baked) into the pan. It had semi-opaque coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and blended out effortlessly, though it was marketed as buildable so it seemed a little more pigmented than buildable coverage. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Because I have hit major pan on my favorite bronzer, UD Jawbone, I’ve been on the hunt for something as good, if not better. This one is IT. It has such a wonderful glow to it without looking shimmery or glittery. Just pure, unadulterated glow factor!
Hi Temptalia! You never mentioned any smell. Does your product smell, like old bitter oil? Just checking. Thanks for all what you do !
I didn’t notice any smell like that!
