There are currently two shades of this baked bronzer available from Iona Cosmetics for £5.99. Shade #1 is more bronze, while shade #2 is more pink toned. Each bronzer weighs 13.5g.
As you'll see from the second photo, this bronzer is quite powdery. I always end up with plenty of powder around the edges of the bronzer after I've applied it! The marbling is quite subtle and very pretty. You do only get one swirled colour though, I know with the MAC MSFs it's possible to focus your brush in different areas and get more than one tone. But, that really isn't something that's important to me.
It's really, really pigmented so you need to be careful with the application! This is even more pigmented than the MAC ones. There is some sparkle, but it's not over the top. This swatch isn't even a very heavy application! I prefer to use my MAC #188 brush to apply this to my cheekbones to give a glow and highlight. It gives a lovely shimmer and glow with a light application, rather than being an obvious bronzer. I think this is too shimmery to use as an all over bronzer.
Oh I have this. I bought it from Go's shop on Ebay a few mths ago. I'm not keen on it though. I prefer the MSF's.
ReplyDeleteI gave a back-up away but still have the original one I swatched and it's just sat abandoned in my collection. It's shade 2 I have.
If anybody reading this wants it, drop me an email. I'd rather it went to a new owner than sit gathering dust with me x
