Hello! For a long time, I used to stay out of bronzing powders and used to use only contouring shades. And here, along with their highlighter, I bought this Tarte Amazonian Clay Matte waterproof bronzer. The Amazonian Clay collection is famous for being waterproof and long-wearing.

I’ve already reviewed the highlighter here and now I wanna talk about the bronzer.

Price: I have a mini of it. I always advise everybody to start with minis to check out the shade and performance of this or that product. And only after testing it out, dare to buy the full-size. And yeah, minis also go a long way.

Size: my mini has only 2.2g

Shade: Hotel Heiress

Product description:

WHAT IT IS

Iconic matte waterproof bronzing powder infused with long-wearing Amazonian clay.

WHAT IT DOES

Bronze and contour with this best-selling, multi-tasking vegan bronzer infused with Amazonian clay for flake-free applications and hours of pigmented wear. The moisture-rich powder delivers an even, buildable glow or streak-free contour to enhance any skin tone. Infused with tarte’s powerhouse Amazonian clay and none of the icky, bad stuff, the everyday weightless powder helps to improve clarity and texture, leaving your skin healthy and glowing from the inside out.

HOW TO USE

Gently buff directly onto skin or over foundation where the sun would naturally add color. You can also use it as a matte contouring powder, tracing a thin line underneath your cheekbones and chin, down the sides of the nose, and across your upper forehead, blending throughout to avoid harsh lines.

Packaging

It’s a cute and tiny compact, which is fake bronzer leather outward and silky inside. The top cap sits well with magnets. Inside it has a protective liner.

Color

The bronzer looks more neutral in the pan, whilst it appears more warm-toned and orange on my skin.

Texture

It’s a matte finely ground powder, which is free from any glitter infusion. Well, maybe if I look very close at it, I’ll see some micro shimmer bits there.

Aroma

This bronzer smells like the highlighter and eyeshadows from the collection - chocolate and vanilla. The smell doesn’t disappear from the packaging over time and stays there for me to sniff it during application. It’s light, natural and not chasing.

Application

The product is easy to apply and distribute on my skin. You can apply it with a light veil coverage, as well as pack its color.

Longevity

It’s good and one has to take it into account because it won’t be so easy to wipe off that bronzer if anything. The texture seems to be polishing into the skin and foundation. It stays on until the moment I remove it, even though my skin is mixed and oily-shine prone.

Impressions of use

It’s difficult for me to get used to the orange shade of the bronzer because I used to use gray and taupe contouring shades for too long beforehand. Yet still, the bronzer has found its way to my makeup pouch.

Most of all I wear it as a lightweight veil over my skin to make it looked more sun-kissed or to correct too pale foundation.

The formula neither accentuates my skin texture nor makes my complexion cakey. On the contrary, my skin looks as though lit from within, thanks to those teeny-tiny micro shimmers in there.
