Sunrise Waves

Becca Sunrise Waves Gradient Sunlit Bronzer ($38.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a soft, golden brown with warm undertones and a golden sheen. The more I buffed and blended out the color, the browner it appeared and the shimmer gave it a glow without emphasizing my skin. The consistency was soft, slightly powdery in the pan, but it blended out with ease on my skin, so I’d just recommend tapping off excess in the pan to avoid over-application as well as waste. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to my skin, and it could easily be applied with a lighter hand or buffed out for sheerer coverage. On me, it wore well for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

The powder contains slivers of: Sunlit Bronzers in Bali Sands, Capri Coast, and Bronzed Bondi along with a Highlighter in Opal. The brand says they can be used individually, but you’ll need to have small eye brushes to do so, as each strip of color was rather narrow. I found the design made it a little harder to get an even amount of each color without loading my brush up with quite a bit of product, so I found myself swirling, tapping off excess, swirling again, and then tapping off excess in an effort to get a little of each shade for even application.
