The Beached Bronzer formula is supposed to be “super-soft”, blendable, and have “sheer, natural-looking coverage” with a matte finish. There is a blurb about “HPP (Highlighter performing Pigments) Technology [that] provides rich color, long-lasting elements, and the perfect level of coverage” (which is a little confusing, but it seems to suggest perhaps more of a true-to-color concept, where color stays true for awhile–that is how I’m interpreting it). It had a very soft, smooth, and finely-milled texture that blended easily on the skin without issue and didn’t look dry on (but there’s no real sheen to this either). The coverage was sheer, as described, and somewhat buildable to more medium coverage. It lasted for eight hours before fading on me. This is the darker of the two shades released, and again, I’d love Urban Decay to come out with at least one deeper shade.

Not my color, but interesting how many Tom Ford dupes are listed here
Tom Ford does a lot of more matte bronzers, I think!
This might just about show up on me, I wish it was less yellow, or may be its the picture?
It is yellow-based.
A close dupe for Tom Ford Terra! Yeah! I love Terra. i will be checking this one out ASAP!
Yay! 🙂 Hope you like it, Nicole!
Too yellow for me but it looks very flattering on you!
Thank you, Erin!
I think this is a wearable shade, even though it’s darker than I’d usually wear. Maybe because it’s matte and buildable.
It is definitely buildable!
So ok, while this one looks more like it, I definitely agree with you, Christine; UD really should have made at least one more in a shade that us darker mediums into tanner complexions could use! It would have been a smart move on their part!
Yup! At least one darker.
These bronzers seem almost like dark peachy blushes. I noticed that with the lighter shade, as well.
I can see that!
Love your eye look, what shadows are you wearing?

Does it have pearls? I want to use it as shading
It’s matte.
Hmm…this is the darker shade? I’m pretty fair and the depth doesn’t seem too bad for even my skintone (though it’s more orange than what I’d wear myself).
Neither are *that* dark, IMO.
How would this compare to the MAC Give Me Sun bronzer?
I’m trying to decide between the two for a spring bronzer!
I’m about an NC30 for reference (:
Tehy’re similar – Give Me Sun is more orange.
I am wondering if this is a matte dupe for Nars Laguna. I love that bronzer more than anything, but the glitter in it seems to spread all over my face (which is sooo annoying.) It seems to have warm undertones, so I am hoping this will be the perfect match!
Fingers crossed, Katie!
Off topic but I am cleaning out my mailbox and found this. I wanted to tell you I’m loving that shade of lipstick!! I bought it immediately after seeing it on you. Love love love it! I think together at a La Creme display we could do some SERIOUS damage lol
Aww! Thank you so much 🙂
I currently have the sun-kissed version of this bronzer and have found that it looks very orange on my skin tone. I am a 117 (Y225) in makeup forever foundation and was wondering if this color would be a better option since it is supposed to be better for yellow skin tones.
It might work better, but it is still warm!
