Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed

Pale ladies and gents everywhere rejoice as Cover FX have solved all your bronzer woes with their new bronzer range and notably the shade Sunkissed. Gone are the days when pale skin tones had to suffer many an orange or dirty looking bronzer...about time to. I may not be pale but I have a good number of friends that are and it seems that up until now the choices have been few and far between.

In my opinion the Cover FX bronzers remind me of MAC's bronzing line both in terms of packaging and formula but more on that later. Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed comes in a sizable round compact that is slim, light and a great size for carrying around in your hand bag on a daily basis. Inside features a great sized and quality mirror that is wonderful for on the go make-up application of any type. I love when company's keep packaging simple and light in terms of weight for that matter and despite not being bulky it is robust and can take a knock or ten without the bronzer inside shattering.

Like I've said from the opening sentence Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed has definitely been formulated for those with lighter skin tones to add a little warmth to the skin without looking murky or orange which no-one in the right state of mind ever seeks out to achieve...I hope. Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed is a light golden toned brown that isn't worlds apart from Nars Laguna but a smidgen lighter.

As Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed is matte you can use it to warm up the skin, as a blush or to contour which I recommend due to the slight grey-ish undertone which doesn't fully show up in my images. To the touch Cover FX Bronzer in Sunkissed is slightly dry and does have a tendency to produce a little product fall out, however on the skin it feels light and almost velvet like. I had no problems when it came to blending but will state that for medium to deep skin tones this shade will pull a little ashen when used as a bronzer however as it is matte I have been able to use it as an all over pressed powder. In terms of wear as a typical bronzer or when used as a contour I image this would stay in place all day, on my oily skin when used all over I noticed signs of oiliness crept in around the 6 hour mark.
