My pale sister Adventurer! Discover my favourite organic face bronzing powder for very fair skin that won’t make us look kissed by a brick…
Coming in a handy mirror box with an extra department for the included sponge, the Alva Coleur baked bronzer is as practical as any conventional product.
Opened, it reveals a terracotta looking, solid stone of a very soft, sorbet-like muted peachy colour (in 1, Beige-rose):
Here’s a close-up of a freshly opened stone with only a few brush traces:
And here’s a swatch on white cardstock to show how soft and actually almost neutral the colour looks.
It gives you a fresh look, has only little shimmer to it – just enough to make it appear silky on your cheeks – and is quite transparent, too.
It’s definitely not a colour to brush over all of your face, but just fine for accents on cheekbones, nose, chin – the classic “sun kissed” look.
NB:
Originally I planned to just talk about this product en passant in this post about why I hate selft tanners, but found it was too much info for one post. Now it’s going to be THREE posts. Duh! 😀
Love bronzers as a soft veil, that it really looks like I had little vacation.
yup. I am ogling some Hiro powders these days. would be fun to use a Berlin-based brand, the contents are pretty much the same as with Alima, Lily Lolo or Everyday Minerals, Inika etc.
I love Bare minerals but ya can’t get me off of Self tanners sweet sister!
that’s why I picked some of the cleaner ones 🙂 took a while to find them.
Ok I am always up for education!
