The Review: NYX Matte Bronzer

I have had a year long love/hate relationship with this product. When I swatched it in store I loved the shade but when I got it home and on my face I hated how muddy and orange it made me look. Pricier than a typical NYX product I was kind of grumpy that I'd wasted my money on something I deemed "unwearable".

When reassessing my brushes after a wash I decided to swap my blush brush for my bronzer blush and vice versa, meaning that my Sigma angled contour would now be reserved for blush while my big, fluffy Ecotools powder brush would become my new bronzer brush. This honestly made all the difference and I began to fully appreciate this product. The Sigma brush was simply putting too much product onto the skin, which gave me the orange/muddy look I hated. With a fluffy brush it distributed just the right amount and made my skin look lovely and tanned with a slight contour.

This is by no means the product I'd suggest for a full on Kim K contour as too much product goes bad very quickly, but as an every day bronzer with a light hand this is amazing! Overall, I'm never one hundred percent happy with bronzers, but this has definitely been one of the better ones I've tried.

What is your all-time favourite bronzer for contouring?
