Where do we begin with this one? Ever since launching our makeup line with blush, you have all asked for bronzers. However, we really wanted to take our time and do it right and to our standards.
Four years later, enter Spectral Sunlight - our take on bronzers. Imagine reliving summer and enveloping your skin in warmth from its most glorious sunkissed state. That's Spectral Sunlight. Beautifully believable bronzers in various undertones in a hybrid powder-cream formula that very importantly, do not look orange or fake on the skin. As always, very olive undertone friendly too!
Purpose: A weightless, long wearing cream to powder bronzer that comes in a variety of golden & rosy leaning neutral tones to seamlessly add natural warmth, sculpture, and depth to the face.
Texture: A powder/cream hybrid. Stiffer than our blushes, and does not feel like a cream to the touch. It will melt to the touch with repeated pressure & swirling like a balm, but behaves more like a powder on the skin. Dries down to a natural satin finish with the slightest, very gently blurring quality. No wet oil slick vibes here.
Same compact packaging as our Spectral Shine radiance balm, but completely different formula.
* We upgraded the bronzer formula summer 2024 to make them a bit more gel-like, and to make them more temperature stable and less prone to stiffening up! Make sure you read the directions & storage section to get the best experience!
Suggested Tools: Brushes with a taper and slightly stiffer bristles (eg. a stippling brush), will pick up product very easily. Shorter bristled brushes also work quite well. Softer/fluffier brushes like our Skyfluff brush will work too, but just requires a tiny bit more effort to pick up. Not designed to be used with fingers.
Spectral Sunlight Cream Bronzer
Undertones:
Golden shades are odd numbers, rosy shades are even numbers. That all said, these are not vividly yellow or pink. They still lean quite neutral/towards the middle.
Shade Depth:
Each pair of golden & rosy shades corresponds to one depth category. For example, shades 1 & 2 are the golden and rosy shades for light/light medium skintones, respectively. They will have a similar depth and richness to them.
Shade Flexibility:
Most people will be able to find 2 to 4 different shades they can wear, depending on their undertones and preferences. These bronzers are pigmented, but still contain an element of translucency.
Picking Shades:
Unless your skin undertones are very strongly yellow or pink, most people can wear both golden & rosy bronzer shades. If you want to make a very safe pick, just go with the bronzer undertone that is similar to your most prominent skin undertone. Golden bronzer shades for yellow skin undertones, rosy bronzer shades for pink skin undertones.
In general, skin undertones aside, golden bronzer shades will often evoke the look of skin that has been freshly touched by the sun. Rosy bronzer shades in comparison, can often look more like a true tan after it has had time to settle and develop.
