NARS Punta Cana Bronzing Powder Review & Swatches
Punta Cana
NARS Punta Cana Powder Bronzer ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a darker brown with moderate, warm undertones and fine, gold pearl throughout that gave it a more satin-like finish once applied. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which could be built up to full coverage with less than a second layer.
The texture was soft, smooth, and velvety with some glide to it–it felt more silicone-heavy compared to the brand’s long-time powder bronzer. The powder picked up easily with a brush but was controllable, so sheerer, more buildable coverage could be achieved, and it applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

This one is beautiful and very sunny looking! Since I have DoC Miramé, I know that I can get away with wearing this one, too. But I think I prefer Casino over this one for whatever reason. I can hardly wait till I can get into a store to swatch the two on my arm together to see which one I love best for my skin tone!
A beautiful color for complexions deeper than mine. I barely reach medium in very few brands. Nevertheless, it is so pretty and has a good application. Wonderful for many of us.
When I saw the picture I thought it will be dark enough for my complexion but looking at the swatches it’s a no !!!!
