Bronze Cheek Face Glow Palette

This is my first ND face palette (I have Sunset, Bronze, and Gold eyeshadow and a few of the minis), and I was a bit nervous due to reviews of the previous "tan" face palette being too dark and bright for everyday looks on fair skin and also my own experiences with creamy textures that never seem to lay correctly on my face (either they are too slippery or they highlight texture).

For color reference my skin is 3.75 in GA Luminous Silk and "Fair 3" in CT Light wonder foundation. I used the CT under this, without powder and got to work. Overall I think this would be a wonderful "weekend away" palette that you could use on eyes and cheeks as a base for glowing skin; but I took one star off because, at least for me, despite the name, I still needed a bronzer (and quite frankly blush) to finish the look and also I think the color story is a bit off. The putty/cream highlighter is cool toned crystal white (think 'candlelight' from Kevyn Aucoin or 'incandescent' from Hourglass) with a pink shift, but the powder highlighter is a slightly warmer champagne gold. The blush is more of a bronzy contour with a warm ruddy brown color and the 'bronzing' powder is a bright warm metallic copper. I love all these colors, but I would use them sparingly and only in certain places with each other. See a full explanation/description below:

The 'bounce cream glow' texture is really interesting- there isn't a cheap "slip" like there is in most cream formulations: it truly is a putty. I used my finger to dab in it and I was able to really work it into my skin- which gave it a subtle, very buildable glow without highlighting texture. It gave a true 'lit from within" with a slight pink shift. I loved it as a highlighter that could build to a highlighter/blush combo (with the pink on the apple of my cheek). I loved how I could play with the product to build it up to create a more intense look or more a subtle sheen. It reminds me of the PML "triple highlighter" that had a white bubble highlighter with a pink shift- but that is way more bright. I did take a brush and lay that over the cream highlighter and it had a larger impact. I also eventually used this on my inner eye corner and on my cupid's bow- fabulous!

The "blush" is the same putty texture that blends well into the skin with fingers and I used it both with fingers and then a Wayne Goss 01 brush to buff it in. I used it more like a contour under the highlighter into the hollow under the bone of my cheeks and it looked better the more and more I buffed it into my skin and upwards into the highlighter. It truly blends well. The only issue, is that this isn't really a blush for my skin tone and it really only works well for me along the cheek bone and into my temple. It blends seamlessly into the highlighter to create a glowy depth.

The Super Glow Nude powder is a finely milled traditional highlighter. As described above it has a more warm champagne gold color, which is beautiful on it's own, but blended on top of the Bounce Cream glow tended to overpower the pink shift and the cream color. It worked better as a highlighter over the warmer toned bounce cream blush (see above- more of a tawny red based brown contour).

Super Glow Bronze powder is really bright! I tapped some on my eyelids and it was fabulous. On my cheeks I used a very light hand with a squirrel hair brush and it didn't really show up as more than sparkle. I think this would be a fabulous bronzer for darker skin tones as a one and done bronze highlighter.

I finished my look with a bit more of a pink powder on the apples of my cheeks for a blush and used a Kevyn Aucoin bronzer in Tropical Days (as it has a bit of a shimmer) all over to give warmth and depth to my face. Then mascara, liner, lip balm. Great look.

This is part of her Bronze eyeshadow palette collection, but rather puzzling because to me it does not look bronze or give any sort of bronzing effect. These are all highlighters. The duo chrome is nice, but the one powder is extremely warm toned and hard to blend on light skin tones.

I love this face palette! I think it's my favorite face palette so far. For reference I am 27WY in ND foundation X+

The bounce cream glow combined with the super nude glow give a wonderful highlighting experience, just the right amount of glow.

I love the bounce cream blush as you can build it up as much as you like and it still blends easily and leaves you with a very balanced look.

The super glow bronzer is golden (pun intended, sorry), it's the perfect glow for summer it leaves the skin just "summery". I also use it on my eyes and it really completes the look!

You can use this one single palettes and have a full look in no time. Highly recommended.

Ok, this one is a bit controversial product from all the mixed reviews I have seen and read, mostly it is due to the unique formulas it has, which I must say are amazing, perfect for summer and places that are extremely hot and humid, maybe for colder and drier places you need to moisturize your skin pretty well, but I am dry skin in winter and normal to combination skin in the summer and they have worked for me even in dry climates. The colors are very unique with warm undertones but not orangy or very strong tones, which makes it more versatile. The highlighters are spectacular and the blush and highlighter work on fair to medium skin. It's my everyday face palette for a complete, natural everyday look. But I must say it is not a bronzer face palette, but most a blush and highligther one, and a pretty good one.
