Formula Overview
$39.00/0.33 oz. - $118.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "buildable" with "demi-matte and pearl finishes" that "blurs" and "perfects" when applied. Only one shade had any real pearl/shimmer (Desert Glow), while the others were more of a soft or more "natural" matte that didn't look flat on the skin.
The pigmentation was medium to semi-opaque and buildable, while the texture was lightweight, slightly thin, but velvety and smooth, which made it easy to apply more or less to achieve the desired coverage level in practice. The powders blended out readily on bare skin as well as on top of foundations, and they did sit smoothly/evenly without emphasizing skin texture.
The formula lasted eight and a half to nine hours on me with more mid-tone and deeper shades lasting longer than the lightest ones.

Ingredients
Even though the depth is not for my medium complexion, I really love the red tone of this particular one. Here’s hoping that she makes another medium bronzer but with a red tone to it just like this!
Gorgeous. Just the right amount of red. I’m getting this !
Love this shade. It’s quite similar to Gucci Bronzing in shade 05, but more matte and a little more muted. Definitely don’t need it….but….
It’s a very beautiful color; however I prefer brown’s that are not red toned for bronzers. Of course that’s due to my shade of medium yellow-neutral, so I prefer a brown that’s a brown neutral, and they are hard to find.
This is so pretty, but I don’t know if I want to look so red. I need to swatch in-store.
