![]() Because of the formula, this finish sits naturally on the skin to give off a lovely sun-kissed glow. However, it does layer well (with a bit of patience – more on that later) so if you want more pigment, you simply apply more and for me, it’s usually tonnes more. Much sheerer than I would like and normally wear. The bronzer, whilst super easy to blend, when blended out is very, VERY sheer. My initial thought upon first swipe was that it was very pigmented but this was short-lived as I proceeded to blend it out with my fingers. Packed with mango butter, coconut oil and avocado oil, the formula is super emollient, making for a beautiful, hydrating finish on the skin. ![]() Knowing me though, had I had known there were two shades, I would have probably opted for the darker shade Blaze. Admittedly at the time of purchase, I was not actually aware that there were two shades and I ended up picking Baked, a warm, mid tone brown. The Matte Bronzer comes in two shades: Baked and Blaze, with Baked being the lighter of the two. Also, it retails for a whopping $36 which is the most expensive product of the four I purchased. Of course, if you have an aversion to silicone then this certainly may be a good alternative but for me, silicone has never been an issue as I don’t find it clogs my pores or make my skin react adversely. Whilst it does do the job of mattifying the skin which I greatly appreciate for my hyperactive t-zone, and somewhat reduces the appearance of pores, I didn’t feel like it does anything more than any other silicone-based primer. I was quite surprised to find that it was silicone-free as it does have that similar slippy-ness to it. Described as a ‘universal face filter’, it claims to ‘blur pores and fine lines’ and is a silicone-free, oil-free and non-comedogenic formula. For that reason, I had to include it in my list of products to try first. The Blur Stick, I feel, is the product that has had most of the hype surrounding it. If you’re on the go, this can be annoying and I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both goes AWOL especially as they are both clear. The only slightly annoying feature is the double cap but I assume that the inner cap is to further protect the product and possibly stop it from drying out? So yes, you have to remove the main outer cap, then the inner cap before you get to the product. These particular four face products come in fun, chubby style, twist-up stick packaging which means that they are not only practical to carry around on the go but they can also be applied directly onto the face without the need for any makeup brushes or tools. Selecting which products to get my mitts on first was a definitely a challenge (if only money was no object) but I managed to narrow it down to four: the Blur Stick, a matte primer the Matte Bronzer the Lip + Cheek, a multi-use tint, and the Highlighter. I was recently able to get my hands on a few of the products from the hip and rather hyped-up US makeup brand, Milk Makeup.
