Fenty Beauty Inda Sun Sun Stalk'r Bronzer Review & Swatches
Inda Sun
Fenty Beauty Inda Sun Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer ($30.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a light brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It leaned slightly yellow but didn’t appear orange or red to my eye. The texture was soft, silky, and thinner without being too dry or firmly-pressed in the pan, so it was still easy to pick up with my brush and diffused easily across my skin. It had good color coverage in a single layer, so it wasn’t what I’d call buildable, though that firmer texture made it easier to use a light hand to pick up less product if preferred. It wore nicely for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$30.00/0.22 oz. - $136.36 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "long-wear" that is "transfer-resistant," "easy to blend, and "light-as-air" with buildable coverage that "is hard to overdo." The pigmentation was more medium to semi-opaque with some shades being nearly opaque in a single layer. For truly buildable pigmentation, I would recommend using a light hand initially or a less-dense brush to pick up and to apply the product.
The texture was lightweight, thin, and finely-milled without being too powdery, which did make it easier to control to build up coverage. Some shades were more blendable than others but none were difficult to work with. As these had a true matte finish, I wouldn't apply them over wet or still-drying foundation as that tends to make matte, powder products harder to apply and can also cause them to darken/look patchy. They applied similarly over bare skin (I'm normal-to-dry) as they did over foundation that was lightly set with powder.
They lasted between eight and nine hours on me, and it didn't seem prone to transferring if I just dabbed at it with a napkin (transfer-resistant on a powder was an odd claim to see).

So pretty! They hit the nail on the head with the color. I hope the darker colors are just as well thought out because I’m in the hunt for my perfect bronzer after bahama mama got discontinued 🙁
I’m not usually a bronzer person but this one is really calling to me. Looks like it’s perfect for my fair skin tone.
Okay, so I really love the softer, non-orange tone of this one a lot. Not sure about how the depth would look like on me, though. Going to apply my foundation to the back of my arm at Sephora and then brush swatch over it to see whether it works or not.
I saw Tara swatch this on her latest haul and while I don’t use a ton of bronzer, I have to admit that this one has me intrigued. So many bronzer’s read very orange/red on my fair skin tone and so I almost inevitably either get rid of them or they languish in my drawer. This one seems to be more neutral and very fair skin friendly. It is worth a look when I am around a makeup counter.
I’ve seen several reviews that Inda Sun is really hard pressed in the pan, and others talking about how creamy it is. Wonder if there’s a manufacturing issue between batches?
I just bought it today @the VIB sale and will report back with any issues 🙂
Nice one!
