Kosas Deep Baked Bronzer Review & Swatches
Deep
Kosas Deep Sun Show Moisturizing Baked Bronzer ($34.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a deep, reddish-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. The more it was buffed and blended out on my skin, the smoother the finish became–glowy but not overtly shimmery.
The texture was soft, silky, and blendable without being too powdery and wasn’t too firmly pressed into the pan, so it was easy to pick up product with a variety of brushes. It had opaque pigmentation that diffused well on my skin, which some might prefer, but it wasn’t “buildable” as described–you’d definitely have to use a light hand for buildable coverage. There was noticeable fading after eight and a half hours of wear.

I like the appearance of the applied product. The color seems to be good for tan to deeper complexions.
