Kevyn Aucoin Tropical Days The Celestial Bronzing Veil
Kevyn Aucoin Tropical Days The Celestial Bronzing Veil ($48.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a medium, golden brown with a hint of gray–there’s an almost “dirty” aspect to the color–and a shimmery, luminous finish. IT Cosmetics Warm Radiance (P, $34.00) is warmer. Too Faced Snow Bunny (P) is more shimmery. Too Faced Spice (LE) is slightly darker. Urban Decay Gilded (P, $26.00) is more shimmery. bareMinerals Secret Radiance (P, $19.00) is more shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
It’s designed to add both color as well as glow by using “crystal pigments in bronze, gold and silver” (the latter seems to give it that more neutral/dirty vibe that I see). The color payoff was excellent and easily delivered true-to-pan color onto the skin, but the silky, lightweight, ultra-soft powder is easily blended and manipulated on the skin. You can also concentrate your brush towards the upper half of the pan for a lighter, more shimmer-based glow, or towards the bottom half of the pan for more color with less shimmer. I tried to swirl for a good mix of color and shimmer when I applied it to my cheeks for testing. I really loved the texture, as it was a cinch to apply. It didn’t accentuate my pores, and the powder sat well on the skin without looking powdery nor shiny. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Sounds like a real winner, this one! I have to say, it looks fantastic on you. And the packaging is simply stunning.
Thank you! 🙂
This absolutely beautiful on you Christine! I wonder how does it compare to the the regular bronzers on the market like Nars Laguna? It looks quite similar!
Here you go! http://www.temptalia.com/submit-dupe?sbs=1&pid=111363&dupe=182238
This is really the best day look I’ve seen you wear in several months. It’s a keeper! You look amazing.
Thanks!
Such a great line with consistently excellent products! This is gorgeous on you. I think not for me though.. I would look like suntan barbie and the whole bronzed thing is a complete pass for my tastes.
Totally understand 🙂 I’m not a bronzer fan usually either.
This looks beyond stunning on you, Christine! I wish that Kevyn Aucoin products were more accessible, in person.
I wish they were, too!
This bronzer is just stunning!
It is!
Utterly gorgeous. It looks perfect on you.
Thank you, Rachel!
When I saw your hand swatches I thought it’s a bit too shimmery for me, but once it looks gorgeous on your face
It really is well-balanced!
Hmmmm…. I’m torn. I’ve been wanting this, and I think it looks beautiful in the swatch, but kind of muddy on the face. Love your eye make-up, Christine!
Thanks!
You look lovely!
Thank you, Ida!
I saw this on your cheeks in the confession lipstick review, and almost commented how how gorgeous it was! super glory and a perfect balance of color
It’s a lovely shade on you. I wonder if it would work for an eyeshadow too.
Very pretty on you!
Is it similar to Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer?

Looks beautiful! Do you think someone with cool toned skin would do better with tropical nights? I have fair, cool toned skin. Thanks! 🙂
I think they could!
