Sydney Grace Bronzed Radiance Loose Highlighter Review & Swatches
Bronzed Radiance
Sydney Grace Bronzed Radiance Loose Highlighter ($8.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark copper with moderate, warm orange undertones and warmer, golden shimmer and micro-sparkle. It had an intense glow–both metallic but also more sparkly and visibly shimmery–with rich color coverage in a single layer. The loose format does make it easy to pick up quite a bit of product, but you definitely don’t need much for fuller coverage.
The texture had larger sparkles, and I found I had to apply it with a rounded, moderately-dense brush to get an even application of product and some of the sparkles disappeared after I had buffed and blended the product out. It was as blendable as other shades in the same formula, though it was workable. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Way, way too dark and warm for me.
Definitely a beautiful highlighter for richer skintones! And a super glowy bronzer for medium tones, too. Very good job bringing greater diversity of shades to the highlighter line, SG!
I have an old Maybelline loose eyeshadow (Downtown Brown, I think it’s called) and when I saw this photo, I thought it was THAT eyeshadow (packaging is so similar as is the colour).
