NARS Laguna Powder Bronzer ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a soft, golden brown with warmer undertones and a gold-shimmered, satiny finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer more on top.

The texture was soft, smooth, and velvety with a smidgen of powderiness; it wasn’t quite as velvety as other shades in the recently repackaged/released Bronzing Powder range, but it was much smoother and creamier to the touch compared to past iterations I’ve encountered of Laguna over the years. (It’s not billed as a reformulation, but the ingredient list is different to some degree!) The powder applied beautifully to bare skin as it went on evenly and blended out nicely along the edges. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.
