Model Co. Pressed Bronzing Powder, "Bronze-Shimmer", Review And Swatches

Summertime, or maybe anytime, is when we bring out the summery bronzer, so when Boxycharm sent out a bronzer from Model Co. in the shade, Bronze-Shimmer, I was very happy to try this out! 

You can find Model Co.'s beauty products online where they have everything a makeup lover could possibly want. Their Pressed Bronzing Powder retails for $24.00 and comes in a version of either Shimmer or Matte. I was sent the Bronze-Shimmer version, which you can check out here. 

They claim that this formula is creamy and offers oil control while giving the skin a natural looking bronzed look. I have had time to test this bronzer out, so I'm going to share my thoughts with you now, so check it out!

This bronzer is about as big as the palm of my hand and you get 0.35 oz of product in this compact. And the compact is just the right size for traveling with, because the compact is not bulky. Honestly is it was a smidge taller, I would declare it too bulky for travel! 

My only gripe, is that they could have put a mirror in the compact, because it is always handy to have a mirror built into makeup product's so that I don't have to pack an extra compact along with me. It would definitely save room...  Especially when paying $24.00 for this bronzer, it would be much appreciated!

When Model Co. says that this is the shimmery version of their pressed bronzing powders, they where not kidding in any way shape or form! I was hoping from the above pictures that it would capture the shimmer of this product. In the pan, there are noticeable micro-fine amounts of golden glitter, which is supposed to give you that golden glow, which is perfect for summertime!

When I first applied this bronzer, I was happy to find that this is a highly pigmented product! But, what I also noticed, that I did not love, was that the shimmer was pronounced and noticeable on my face! I applied it in the typical places, around the hairline and the hollows of my cheeks. 

Since I was wearing this in the daytime while out doing some volunteer work, I realized that this is not an everyday bronzer.... Instead, I would wear this bronzer on a summer evening out on the town, or on a special occasion, because this is more of a fun eye catching/sun catching beauty product. 

Since this is also a bronzer designed not only for your face, but also for your body, you can use this on your décolletage, which would be amazing on a night out!

The formula is very soft and borderline powdery, so tap off your brush! This applies to the face smoothly and is pigmented like I mentioned before. So, make sure you blend it out as you go! When I wore this, it lasted about six hours on my face, but showed signs of fading after that. So, it's performance did not last as long on my oily face, even with my BareMinerals PrimeTime Face Primer. 

Overall, the Model Co. Pressed Bronzing Powder in Bronze-Shimmer is good for a night out when you are wanting to have a little fun with your beauty routine. Yet, during the day when you are going off to work, I wouldn't recommend wearing this, because you might look like a disco ball in a room full of LED's... 

Taking a look at the Model Co's website, I would love to try out more of their beauty products that they have! Tell me, have you tried any out from Model Co. that you absolutely love?


Have A Wonderful Day!
