bareMinerals Kiss of Copper Gen Nude Blonzer Review & Swatches

Kiss of Copper
bareMinerals Kiss of Copper Gen Nude Blonzer Blush and Bronzer ($25.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a brighter, medium orange with warm, reddish undertones and a lightly, metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented where a little went a long way, which was far from the buildable it was described as being! Those who don’t mind using a lighter hand or prefer higher coverage will enjoy that impact, though.
The texture was smooth, almost creamy to the touch, without being overly dense or too firmly-pressed into the pan. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly on me.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.13 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "silky texture that blends seamlessly and builds color effortlessly" and is a combined blush and bronzer, in terms of effect. The texture was smooth, almost cream-like--dense and a little plush to the touch but not thick or difficult to pick up with a brush. It actually yielded more product on my brush than I expected, and it's not a formula I'd describe as buildable.
These were quite pigmented and a little went a long way, so you'll want to use a lighter hand and more feathery brush to pick up product for a true, buildable application of product. They applied evenly, blended out well, and were higher shine, though they didn't emphasize my skin's natural texture. The formula stayed on well for eight to nine hours before fading visibly.

I don’t even quite know why, but I really don’t care for this one. Perhaps it’s because it’s just too orange? Or too heavy looking? I can’t quite put my finger on it.
I like this color on you Christine! Anxiously awaiting the review for Kiss of Pink!
This product looks a lot lighter in the pan than it does on the cheeks, but it is still an impressive blush/bronzer. I like it.
I like the color it makes me think about summer on the beach, but I would only purchase if I could swatch on myself and I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon here. We are being shut down again.
