It’s soft and silky but as soon as I applied it I watched as my bright skin went from gorgeous to dull in a few short minutes. Maybe I’m just doomed when it comes to mineral makeup but damned if it doesn’t suck the healthy glow right out of my face. I got the foundation powder in Light 3 and obviously that’s not a suitable shade for me as it ended up giving me that dusky, ashy, dirty look that I successfully achieved with the Physicians Formula Flawless Complexion Kit. $7.92 USD gets you a large size mineral powder, a mineral blush, and a tiny kabuki brush for application! Not bad at all considering that Bare Escentuals will charge you $40 USD and upwards for their kits but than again you get a whole lot more with that kit than you do with this one. The kit was super duper cheap so I can’t complain. I’ll start by saying I’m not a big fan of mineral powders anyway so my reviews of various mineral powders lately may be bias do to that little fact.
#Maybelline contour powder crack
So obviously it’s called Maybelline for a reason….because maybe it’s a good…maybe it’s not…Maybe it’s Maybelline…HA! I crack myself up. Today I’m reviewing Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation and Mineral Power Naturally Luminous Blush. It definitely gives my Butter Bronzer, and even high-end bronzers, a run for their money! If you give the Maybelline City Bronzer a try, let me know how it goes and if you love it to!įor more makeup posts and product reviews, head on over to our Beauty page.With more Beauty on a Budget finds just for you! The deeper shades will definitely be purchased in the near future once it starts to warm up and as I get a tan. Based on the color tone, this bronzer would also be perfect for a soft nose contour. It’s pretty subtle but it makes your face look more warm and sculpted naturally. Nice! Below is my skin before and after applying the City Bronzer.

#Maybelline contour powder full
I found that it started to noticeably fade about 7-8 hours in aka you can easily get through a full work day with a bomb contour. And not only does it go on like a dream, it stays all day long. It’s super soft thanks to the addition of cocoa butter in the ingredients and you can tell when applying. When it comes to application, the Maybelline City Bronzer glides smoothly on the skin. I picked up the shade Light because….your girl is pale! The shade looks to be fairly cool toned but has just a touch of warmth. Generally, you can get by with a range of different skin tones with these so it’s not too bad but Maybelline could definitely expand the color range in the future. It’s actually a few dollars cheaper than my Butter Bronzer so I’m on board so far! The shade selection isn’t stellar with only 3 shades – light, medium, and deep. That’s generally what you should expect from a drugstore brand. Who knew!? Let’s see how the City Bronzer stacks up.įirst and foremost, the cost is pretty good – around $8-10. It’s actually their first bronzing and contouring powder, too. It’s a bronzing powder designed to give you a sun-kissed look while also sculpting your face. Luckily, Maybelline released a new bronzer this past month – the City Bronzer. But I am always willing to find another tried and true bronzer to help make my sun-deprived skin look healthier in the winter. I’ve been a tried and true lover of the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer for a long time now – it is the perfect amount of warmth, doesn’t have glitter or sheen to it, and lasts forever. It’s winter which means having bronzer and contour as part of our makeup routine to make you look more alive is an absolute necessity.
