Bronze is the New Gold??!! by Urban Decay


Hi People!
How was your Lunar New Year Holidays?
Are you still on leave?
Lucky you...
Wish I was still.... sleeping in sounds like a
fantastic idea at this time,
I'll take anything, even a half day sounds great.

Anyways,
the product I am checking out today is
<URBAN DECAY> Baked Bronzer
It's marbled, see:
So, it will suit ALL skin types
plus it has gold specks in it
giving you an au natural glow
upon application,
best applied with a long-ish blusher brush,
not the round types but the long-ish ones
or slanting ones, to help you sculpt your cheeks
giving one an optical illusion of
slim, V-shape face, with contours
like the ones below:

There has been no "over-tan" or
"over-baked" look even if I used a heavy hand
to apply...
TIPS: Use it under your chin, making
a U-shape to slim your face,
if you have angular faceline,
esp at the sides, dust a little over there too.
Bronzer is meant to give one a
"Sun-Kissed" look
without ending up with
 TOO MUCH, else, you will end up looking
like someone bashed you up!
Below are some examples of bad use of bronzer:

Catherine Zeta-Jones, too orangey man!!

Some Model (look at the sides of her cheeks! Yikes)

Lindsay Lohan.. looking like she got bashed major!

You should look good,
and get the effect... like the ones
who got it right... below:




Bronzers are the IN thing for all
summer.
Dinners, Weddings or special occassions!

It can be used on your body
esp on the top of your shoulders,
your neckline
and create a slight "Y-shape"
where your cleavage ends
to create some definition...
ya' know, like a cheat sheet!
Not exactly for the VA-VA Voom effect
but for better clarity, outline them.
And to give you the Sun Goddess effect.

The bronzer should GLAM you up,
not make you look otherwise.

Also, use sparingly,
a little goes a long way.
Get those with Gold in it,
it gives you instant radiance,
complements most skin colour
without the need to apply a lot!
This one by UD costs about $33
at all good Sephora outlets
I got the one called Baked.
They have Toasted and Glide too.

Rating: 3.5/5
Ease of Use: Easy Peasey
Would I Buy It Again: Doubt I will finish this anytime soon,
plus it can be kept for up to 3 years!
