Hunnie Glaze

Fenty Beauty Hunnie Glaze Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer ($32.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a medium brown with strong, warm orange undertones and a satin finish. Applied, it had a natural finish that was skin-like–not quite matte but not overtly shimmery–and remained a touch dewy, despite drying down.

The texture was smooth, lightweight, and spreadable as it felt more like a gel-cream, so it worked well over bare skin as well as layered over liquid foundation (even matte liquid foundation!). Applied with fingertips, it had more medium, buildable coverage, whereas a moderately-dense, angled brush yielded more semi-sheer to medium, buildable coverage. For true, sheer coverage, I’d recommend applying with a stippling brush. It looked almost opaque when applied but it sheered out quite readily, which was as designed, and it had to be layered (and it built up very well) for full coverage. It stayed on well for nine hours before fading visibly on my skin.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.22 oz. - $145.45 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "non-greasy," "sweat-resistant," "easy to blend" cream bronzer (or contour) with "sheer, buildable" coverage that has a "natural-looking" finish. The brand called out two shades specifically as contour shades--Amber and Toffee Tease--though they can certainly be used as applicable to one's skin tone and undertone.

The coverage was semi-sheer to medium in one layer and buildable from there, though a lot of the initial opacity depended on the application. Per the brand, the product can be applied with fingertips (they mention "one tap") or with a brush (they created a denser, angled brush for this formula). What I found was that the formula had a tendency to diffuse and spread over the skin in a way that did sheer out the color in practice, so the blended out swatch was more in line with actual results. I think they were, on average, more semi-sheer to medium, buildable coverage than true, sheer coverage but they can definitely be applied lightly or blended out for true, sheer coverage.

Fingertips, generally, apply the heaviest coverage across formulas and products, which was true here. When applied with fingertips, a swirl through the pan yielded more medium and semi-opaque coverage, while a pat or two of a fingertip into the product was good for getting the first layer in place (with more sheer to semi-sheer coverage) and building up coverage where desired. For brushes, something like a stippling brush yielded sheer to semi-sheer coverage and a denser, angled brush yielded more semi-sheer to medium coverage.

The coverage built up exceptionally well as the product layered without becoming uneven in application or in actual texture. The product applied beautifully over bare skin as well as over foundation (I paired them with Fenty's Pro Filtr, which is popular but also more matte, so made for a good test base) as it did not lift up base products.

The consistency was moderately emollient with good glide--it spread easily across my skin, which made it more fluid and gel-like in that way, and it wasn't tacky or so wet that it was hard to blend evenly or get to "stay" in place where I wanted it to stay (thus enabling me to blend out edges with ease). It dried down within a few minutes, but it retained its more skin-like finish despite not feeling wet to the touch.

The test of blendability is often with deeper shades like Chocolate and Toffee Tease, which are significantly deeper than my skin tone, so any unevenness is much more noticeable, but they applied beautifully. I could see them working on deeper skin tones as they were likely designed for, but for someone who is looking for a darker contour shade and is lighter, they're easy to work with as well.

The formula wore well for eight to nine hours, and it had a continued, gradual fading from there that was a flattering fade (it didn't just slide down and off my face!). I'd agree that it seemed sweat- and water-resistant as it didn't start to migrate, bleed, or turn patchy, though it could certainly be rubbed off with light pressure (fingertip, napkin, etc.), e.g. blot away excess moisture.

Hmm, this is one of those situations where I would have just swatch it on my arm over my foundation just to see if it’s too warm or too orange for me. Then again, it might actually make it look more natural on me? I just don’t know. Macchiato may prove to be a little too light, Teddy seems to have a greenish cast, this one runs orange, but I really do want to get one of these! ?‍♀️
