NARS Casino Bronzing Powder Review & Swatches
Casino
NARS Casino Powder Bronzer ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a medium, reddish-brown with moderate, warm undertones and a fine, golden pearl throughout that gave it a satin finish when buffed and blended out. The texture felt smooth, velvety, and had more glide than past iterations I’ve tried from the brand–it definitely had a richer, more luxurious feel to it that sat better on bare skin and was easier to blend out.
It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, though the lack of powderiness made it easy to pick up less product for more buildable coverage if preferred. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

This looks so much better then the other Casino version! If I didn’t already have two dupes, I would likely get this because it blends so beautifully into the skin and gives it a lovely radiance.
Thanks. I thought that, too. S.t. I don’t trust my memory (makeup dementia) and I said to self, What? I thought Casino S*****d! Looks grand on Christine.
So pretty, but…I am looking to replace my go to contour…Casino, for the 3rd time, in 10 years.
My almost panned version lasted me 4 years. The two other standouts are the CT Filmstar Bronze & Glow and then the ND Tan Bronze and Glow. Some are seasonal.
I’m now concerned it’s too red vs brownish. I know browsers are different. So Christina, i am curious of what your opinion is vs the old vs new?
