Sephora Costa Rica Bronzer Powder Review, Photos, Swatches
Costa Rica
Sephora Costa Rica Bronzer Powder ($17.00 for 0.30 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with warm, rosy undertones and a golden sheen. It had fantastic color payoff that was easy to control with technique/tool as the powder was soft and yielding without being too firmly-pressed in the pan. The texture felt finely-milled and velvety and wasn’t dusty or powdery at all. The color applied beautifully to bare skin and blended out with little effort. On me, it lasted for eight hours before it started to fade noticeably.

This is NICE! Making it a challenge to my plans for purchasing the new one by MJ that I’ve had my hopes set on. There is something about the rosier brown undertone combined with the slight golden sheen that makes it so appealing, I think.
I have never found the perfect bronzer for me. I am so pale that they seem to all look too deep, too orange, too powdery and too fake on my skin. I can’t tell you how many I have tried. Maybe it is my application? It seems like other fair skinned women can pull it off but it just looks like clown makeup on me. I would love to be able to get a nice bronzed rosy glow. This is reasonably priced so might as well give it a try.
OH! That sounds like I might need it. I like the ones with a rosy tone cause thats how I tan when I manage it.
