[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was delighted to receive this compact bronzer aka “Healthy Glow Powder” from Guerlain via Influenster to review.
I do favour a natural look, and I usually use a light bronzer to give my face some warmth and colour, especially in the winter when the sun is largely absent and I need to bring myself back to life!
This compact itself is beautiful, with a deep-set logo which glows red when it catches the light. Inside there is a mirror, and the application directions are to trace a “3” down the side of your face with your favourite brush, mimicking where the sun hits. I also like to a add a light touch to my nose, collar bones and cleavage for the same reason. I find it really lifts my face and makes me look well!
The powder itself is a tiled mosaic of shades. Amongst the golden browns nestles an orangey tone for warm skin tones (I used shade 3 which is warm) and a pinky hue for for cool skin tones. There are also options for paler and darker skin colours, so you should be able to select the right one for you (I'd love to try a cool one too to see if it suits me better).
There is a light shimmer to the powder, which I'm pleased to report is very subtle and I will be pleased to incorporate it into my daily rotation.
This compact seems to retail around £30-40 which I wouldn't normally spend, but it does feel like a high quality product, so worth trying if you are in the market for a new bronzing powder.
