theBalm Take Home The Bronze

Color is great! Blending is great!! Fair skin, goes on like silk.

The best!!!!! Perfect shade and blends seamlessly!

It's been really difficult for me to find a powder bronzer to use for contouring that actually looks natural on my fair(ish) skin with yellow undertones. (Most are too orange or too sparkly) The cooler matt tone of Oliver does a good job of mimicking natural shadows and thus works well to create natural looking contour. The Balm comes through, again. This product looks good, feels good and stays in place for me.

I do not like orangy or warm tones on my skin as I have a red undertone. I purposefully searched for cool toned blush. I found this and I love it. It’s great quality and applies well. I will purchase again.

I can NOT express enough how much I love this powder. I have been searching for a very long time to find the perfect shade for contouring. Every color I have used, and there has been many many.. They are too orange or just not that cool toned enough to create "shadows" like contouring is supposed to do. Bronzer and contouring are two totally different things. This color is the most accurate, smooth blending, cool toned, absolute perfect color, to achieve those certain shades and contour you are looking for. I will never use a different contour shade again. I have finally found the holy trail for it and I hope they never stop making it. 10 stars!!!

I loved that this was a cool tone and not orange at all. However, I’m pale and it still turned out very dark. I wish it came in more shades. I won’t be buying it again

I've always been a huge fan of the balm and I religiously used their Bahama Mama bronzer. I'm a fairly light skinned so it was a little bit dark on me and, in my opinion, kind of orange. When I saw that they came out with an anti-orange bronzer I had to try it out! It is a true cool toned bronzer with no shimmer whatsoever. Ive been using it for about a month now and I'm nowhere near hitting pan. The only con that I've noticed it that it has a strange texture in the pan after a few wears, nothing to be too concerned about but if you prefer your makeup to be super aesthetically pleasing in the pan, this might not be for you. Overall a great bronzer!

I have pale, fair blue tint skin. It is so dang hard to find any bronzer that doesn't turn me orange. I was gifted a tiny one from a friends subscription a few years ago and it lasted foreverrrrrrrrrrr. I finally had to buy my own and tried quite a few again until I finally just caved and order the tried and true, my faithful and loving man. I won't ever be without this specific bronzer. I just have never found another that works for me-can't mess with perfection :)
