Blaze

Blaze is described as a "coco bronze sprinkled with multi-dimensional glitter [with a metallic finish]." It's a brightened, medium-dark golden bronze with warm undertones and a metallic sheen with a smattering of gold micro-glitter. The texture was very soft, creamy, and a little more emollient than other shades in this formula (though the more metallic shades tend to have a wetter feel than the mattes in general). It applied with rich color payoff and blended easily on the skin. It wore well for twelve hours without creasing or fading, and I didn't notice any fall out over time either.
