Light

Kosas Light Sun Show Moisturizing Baked Bronzer ($34.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a light, peachy brown with soft, warm undertones and a fine, golden pearl running through its more satin-like finish. The consistency was incredibly finely-milled, silky, and smooth to the touch without being powdery or too firmly pressed into the pan.

The bronzer applied evenly to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges. The only “downside” was that it had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, while it was supposed to be buildable coverage, so I’d recommend using a lighter hand (or a more feathery brush) to produce true, buildable coverage if desired. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Thank you for your comment ! I’m a fair / cool . Pink undertones and have problems finding something that doesn’t turn orange

So many bronzer releases! This is the one I’m most interested in. It certainly doesn’t look orange by your swatches (which are very consistent). But I happen to like orange-ish bronzers.

This is something I need to see and swatch in person (*sigh* those days are gone for now). My last few bronzer branch outs (high and low end) were fails. Either too red or patchy. So far only Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer (original color) looks good and natural on me. Though it is incredibly tempting and looks positively stunning on you.
