Formula Overview
$12.00/0.7 oz. - $17.14 Per Ounce
The Stay Golden Cream Bronzer formula is supposed to be "lightweight" and "non-sticky" with a "soft-focus matte" finish that is "long-lasting." The formula delivered mostly opaque to opaque coverage that was easily sheered out or built up, depending on one's preference for coverage.
The texture was lightweight, lightly creamy but quick to dry down to a more matte, powder-like finish that was still blendable for the first 15 seconds of application. I had no issues applying the cream bronzers to bare skin or on top of foundation, as they were not prone to lifting up base products.
It fully dried down, so it was non-sticky as marketed, and long-wearing, also as marketed, with solid wear around eight to nine hours on me.

Another good one for the lightest of folks. I’m looking at Tan or Tan Brown for myself, as I’m loving the idea of a cream bronzer for a less powdery appearance.
Nice smooth application on you! Like this color. Not in need of a bronzer, but I’d consider this one easily at the price. How do you like it compared with Fenty’s?
I just checked out their site, as I’d never heard of them before your reviews; wondering if you’ll do any of their palettes? If not, no problem, I’ll check on You Tube (though I haven’t returned in almost a year).
