NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder Review

 
I was looking for something good for shading or contouring, I prefer it to be not expensive, because it’s just for learning shading. I got Etude House Aloha V Line Slim Maker that is also good for contouring but yes, I want another one. And this Nyc Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny seems like a good option. Thanx to Reine Doll Shop for recommending it to me. 🙂

Description (taken from www.newyorkcolor.com):
Let a little sunshine into your life for cheap, with NYC New York Color Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder. It glides on easily for sheer bronze glow that looks like you just stepped off the beach. It is easy to use everywhere and is perfect for quick touch-ups throughout the day.

Benefits:
 
Sun-kissed yet natural look year round without the damaging effects of the sun
Glides easily for sheer effect
Adds a tanned look in seconds
Can be worn alone or over makeup
Dermatologist tested
Key Ingredients:
A blend of micronized pigments and silica for smooth application
Kaolin to minimize pores and lines
Natural mineral powders

It is only available in one color: Sunny. It comes in a brown packaging, just like pact packaging. Thanx God it doesn’t look cheap.

Sometimes it is so hard to open and close. -,- But okay because of the price, I couldn’t expect too much. 😐

But soon as I opened the bronzer and saw the sponge, I was disappointed with it. The quality is really bad and it looks dirty, even when I haven’t used it at all. It’s too thin also. So I throw it right away because I don’t think I will ever use the bronzer using it -_-“.

The bronzer comes with a cute design just like its name: sun. It is a matte bronzer and the colour is really sheer. Fortunately, it’s not chalky at all so it is fine to swipe my brush over and over again. I’m using Masami Shouko Angled Brush or Sigma F40 to apply this bronzer.

Swatch on my hand. I swipe it for around 5 times so the colour can be seen on pic ._.

Same goes to these pics. I have to swipe it more than two times so that the colour could be seen on the pics. In real life, it looks so unnatural 😐 But it’s okay since I just want to show you the colour. You don’t have to be afraid that the colour will be too much on your face because it is really really sheer. Sometimes I get angry because after I apply it for two times, I still can’t see the colour on my face. Hahaha.. But yes, it has its positive and negative side, depending on how you want to look at it :p

What I like:
 
matte bronzer
sheer colour but still buildable
relatively cheap
What I dislike:
the sponge is suck -,-

Rating: 3,5 out of 5.

If you want to try something for contouring with affordable price, this one is a must try item. You can buy it from Reine Doll Shop, it sells so many USA drugstore cosmetics, ready stock for Indonesia residence. ^^

See you later 😀
