Hello everyone!
Happy birthday to me! ;)
Another bronzer from Fashionista to look at today. This one is an unusual one though - not matte, and very light indeed. The bronzer is Barcelona (£4)* and it's quite pretty.
As you can see, this is a pale bronzer, which being a pale skinned girl, I quite enjoy. On my skin, it could be used as a bronzer if applied quite heavily, or diffused out as a highlighter. Of course, the shimmer makes it impossible to use as a contour, but the champagney shimmer could also be applied as a brow highlight, or even a shadow.
On darker skins than mine this would make a lovely highlighter.
Sorry for the odd differences in lighting for both pictures, but I like how this adds a subtle warmth to my face (where I applied it across the cheeks, temples and down the nose) without looking overly bronzed, and yet adds a glow. I might layer this with a lightly shimmering blush to add dimension, but to add a warm glow to the face it works well alone. It also seems to help cancel out a little of the redness I tend to get across my cheeks.
I'd also like to apologise for my broken out face - a combination, I suspect, of a bad diet, stress and a change in shampoos of late.
What do you think?
happy birthday xoxo

Happy birthday! :) I think this bronzer would be too pale for my skin but great for lighter skin tones. Although it's not available here, I like the Fashionista palette system where you can mix and choose whatever you like. So versatile!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I won the two Revlon lip butters when you had your week of giveaways and received them last week. I want to say thank you again, they're gorgeous!! :) xx
Thank you! It is a fab system!
DeleteCan't believe they took so long to get to you! But glad you like them :D

Happy birthday Seonaid! :) Hope you have a wonderful day with your family and friends. I don't detect any broken out face in your photos. This bronzer looks like a nice colour for paler skinned girls!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is a lovely colour and if you have darker skin it might work as a highlight for darker skins too :)

This looks like a lovely product! I'm quite pale, too, so I suspect it might look nice on me! Although who knows with my problematic skin :(
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
