BRONZING BALMS | TOM FORD, MAKEUP BY MARIO, MERIT, SIMIHAZE, DANESSA MYRICKS, ILIA
Balm Contourshade · Light 1- “I use the light one more as a bronzer because it's extremely warm as you can see”▶ 0:44
- “It's just the packaging. It doesn't close as much as it used to, so I'm scared that the product is eventually going to dry out”▶ 2:47
- “The formula itself though is wonderful. It's pigmented and emollient”▶ 2:55
- “It's emollient enough to create that healthy looking skin without being extremely wet like other balm formulas”▶ 3:00
- “I would say it probably sets around 80% which is great for this type of product”▶ 3:08
- “Another negative thing though is that they marketed this as a contour when you can see this light one shade is just extremely warm”
Simihaze Beauty$34.00Skin Suede Melting Bronze Balmshade · Oak- “This actually sets. It's more blurring. It's more forgiving for texture, and it's not as emollient as the other two”▶ 4:40
- “The shade that I got from Simihaze is oak, which is a bronzer shade on my skin tone. It's very close to red-tone bronzers in my opinion”▶ 5:08
- “It looks really beautiful and more of like a natural sculpting tone”▶ 5:23
Shade and Illuminate Contour Duoshade · Intensity 1- “The shade intensity one is just too warm for my skin tone”▶ 6:43
- “The formula is quite pigmented for me and I find that this is the most blurring out of all the products that I showed today”▶ 6:48
- “It has a great blurring quality, but at the same time, if you have textured skin, especially textured dry patches, I would be wary of using too much of this product just in case it will cling to those dry patches”▶ 6:54
- “I tried this a few years back and when I repurchased recently, this was half off, so I don't know if it's getting discontinued”▶ 7:10
MAKEUP BY MARIO$34.00SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancershade · Light Medium- “I've always loved this product for so many years already”▶ 7:36
- “I just find that it has this like blurring veil that just enhances the skin”▶ 7:39
- “It doesn't accentuate texture”▶ 7:44
- “Even though it's a pretty wet formula, I don't think it really sets similar to Ilia, but truly the epitome of a soft sculpt”▶ 7:46
- “The shades they have are gorgeous natural sculpting tones, especially for my color”▶ 7:54
- “My only gripe with this product is that it is pretty expensive in the long run because it runs out way too fast and you have to keep repurchasing”▶ 8:02
ILIA$38.00Sunshift Cream Bronzershade · Eclipse- “I love a glowy bronzer”▶ 3:33
- “It's just not versatile compared to the other products”▶ 3:36
- “This is also described as a silky cream to powder formula which I have to disagree because it gives more of a metallic sheen that doesn't really set as well”▶ 3:40
- “It does accentuate your texture because of the glow that it provides”▶ 3:51
- “It's not versatile enough where you can use it in extremely hot weather”▶ 4:00
- “In wintertime, I love this type of formulas, especially the shade. I love rosy tones when I'm super pale because it's not as harsh as yellow or red-tone bronzers”
- no stillMerit$30Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzershade · Seine
- “I'm prepping my base with a Danessa Myricks skin tint”▶ 0:07
NARS$44.00- “I know when this came out, a lot of people didn't like it because it was too sheer. It's the opposite for me. I love something that is low pigment as long as you can build it up”▶ 5:52
- “I find that you do have to use a lot of product to build up the pigment for this one, but it doesn't leave your skin looking too greasy if you do have to do that”▶ 5:59
- “I find that because it's so sheer, I can use this without the fear of being too harsh against my skin tone”▶ 6:24
