I purchased the coolness bronzer. Product came quick and packaged as it should. I have light to medium olive tone skin and avoid orange looking colors for contour. I swatched it and the color is what I was looking for. It blended pretty well on my bare skin. I tried it on my face but blending into foundation was a bit more difficult and looked a little splotchy. I've only tried fingers and a dense contour brush. Gave it 4 stars because of the beautiful color and blends just fine on bare skin. I also like that it's creamy but not sticky. I imagine that's why it's harder for me to blend. Overall I like the product for the price but this won't be my go to on days that I need to get out the door quickly.Lowkey, I had low expectations after swatching it on my wrist. It looked like it blended out too fast and wasn’t pigmented… I was wrong!! Use a foundation/contour brush and it packs on and blends effortlessly! The wear is impeccable. I’m rough with my face but this doesn’t move at all (with powder on top tho). Get this!!I've used three of the half caked bronzers - morning view, cubby, and coolness. I have generally fair to medium skin and these felt great! Definitely gives a dewy finish and didn't clog any pores (seemed like it would but did not). Colors were universally flattering and not too orange or grey.Pros:1) color - can't go wrong2) finish - great for maturing skin (I'm 33, but going creamy and dewy has been a good move)3) didn't break me out4) great price and I love the creators5) I'm going to complain about the application below BUT - it's still forgiving. It sheers out easily, so you can't really apply too much or screw it up.Two cons/ learning curves:1- I applied with a brush which I still like best, but you have to be careful how you buff it out. It can sit in your pores if you blend in a certain direction? Hope that makes sense. You'll see it though - I feel like tapping and soft buffing motions did best, dragging it just made it go to my pores and then it looked like I had a ton of blackheads. I feel like this is probably true of most cream bronzers though.2- it gets dustyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I keep these in my makeup bag so they're out for a minute maybe but after a while, the pan was starting to collect dust on the surface of the bronzer which was just gross looking. I tried cleaning it off with some alcohol, but then I feel like I got rid of so much product. :(I still recommend either way. Especially if you want to explore cream bronzers w/o forking over tons of money. I'm using the Milk bronzing stick right now after trying half-caked and am a fan of both.I have 2 blushes and now the bronzer. I used to only use powder products but lately this is all I wear. They blend easily and last most of the day for me. Definitely would like to add more shades to my collectionI'm oily and these work so nice even on my oily skin. I own the darker shade but it's really warm. I was hoping this would be cooler toned, but it's warm like the other shades. It would be REALLY nice on someone with much lighter than than I have.You guys! This is amazing! I use seint makeup and ran out of my Bella bronzer so I got this because I was in a pinch. So glad I did!! Cubby looks like benefit hoola bronzer but better —has a glowy sun kissed look—I look like I went and had my makeup professionally done. Love this stuff so much! Try it , you won’t regret it!Usually use powder bronzers so this is my very first cream bronzer. For the price, I was expecting it to not perform that well but I was pleasantly surprised. The product was very easy to blend and the color is perfect. For reference, I'm MAC NC30/35 with olive undertones and Cubby reminded me of Benefit Hoola Bronzer on my skin.Product is pretty pigmented so use a light hand. I use a brush to blend it out with a stippling motion and use a sponge to sheer it out if I find myself applying too much. Very creamy consistency and super easy to blend. I'm looking into getting more of their blushes and highlighter now.Great bronzer! Perfectly good fill-in for the Fenty Sun Stalker (actually better IMO) - blends well - can go more natural/snatchural/ full glam - definitely add to cart
