Trace Gold

By Ana Maria 9 years ago.

My complexion is light-medium with yellow undertones (NC20, maybe NC25 in the summer), and finding good a good shimmery bronze can be tricky for me. Most hyped shimmery bronzer are definitely too dark for me. The powder blush Trace Gold works on me more like a shimmery bronzer applied to my cheeks. It's coppery tone add a nice warmth to my skin, very natural if lightly applied. It's not very shimmery, but the frost adds just a little glow. Since I am already warm toned, this does not look warm on me. The texture is almost smooth, almost no powdery fall-out. The shimmer will emphasize pores, but that's what always expected. My natural go-to look definitely includes just a swipe of this on the cheeks. This doubles as an eye shadow too. I use it as an all over the lid muted shimmer.

On my NW35 skin this is not a blusher at all, but does work to help get that Jo Lo glow, the Miami bronzed glowing skin look on tan skin that is so pretty. It is a fairly sheer golden frosty powder and blends out easily, leaving a glowing gold look to the skin. I am not sure how it would look on a lighter skin tone, I think on medium to darker tones this would give a beautiful glow to the skin without a ton of actual color, just a light gold that will blend in well with the skin giving is radiance. It did emphasize pores a bit, it is shimmery and that is expected, but it worked well across my forehead, bridge of nose and cheekbones in place of bronzer. I will probably never use this enough to purchase again, but I am not sorry it is in my collection. I recommend for medium to dark skin tones, and will revise this if I ever get to use it on someone fair skinned and like it!
