My New Favorite Bronzer & It's a Dior!

When I first started getting into makeup, I’ve always had this idea that bronzer equals ‘orange barbie look’. Not a good image, isn’t it? But as I read more into it, I found that as long as it fits our skin tone and applied properly, we can avoid that look.

I don’t have many experiences with bronzers. In fact, I’ve only tried 3: NARS Laguna, Benefit Hoola and this product I’m about to review. I sold my NARS Laguna quite a while ago as the shade didn’t fit me quite right. I still use Benefit Hoola to this day and it’s still a favorite (I’ve hit pan actually). It’s matte so it’s doable as a contour as well.

But, we’re not here to talk about those two. My current favorite is Dior Diorskin Nude Tan Healthy Glow Enhancing Powder in 002 Sunlight. A mouthful name but I get it, I’ll tell you why later.

Let’s start with the packaging. The powder is encased in a round, silver shiny metal compact, with its signature Cannage quilted pattern on top. It’s a fingerprint magnet but I’m willing to overlook it. It has a mirror for convenient application. The compact has a substantial weight, feels sturdy and closed with a magnet. As usual, with high end makeup, Dior also includes a black navy velvet pouch.
