ILIA Uptown NightLite Bronzing Powder ($34.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with warmer, more golden undertones and a natural matte finish. I found that it seemed to take on some of the natural finish of my skin (read: not flat or 100% matte!) but didn't stick/become difficult to do so.
The consistency was soft, smooth, and finely-milled, but there was light powderiness present in the pan. I found using a lighter hand and applying the product, then building up if necessary, was best when working with this formula. It had rich color payoff, rather than buildable as marketed, which was the big "con" of the formula. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.
