LORAC Bronzer in Glow, Review and Swatches


  
LORAC Bronzer in Glow is a perfect bronze color that's not overly shimmery and not completely matte. Having oily skin, I was afraid to use a bronzer that had shimmer in it because I didn't want to look like a baked disco ball. This bronzer appears to be shimmery in the packaging and swatched, but when it's blended it gives your face a nice sun kissed dewy look.

The pigmentation is amazing! It's very smooth, almost buttery and not like your typical powders that feel dry. This bronzer lasts all day and it doesn't rub off easily, which I love! I also like the fact that it doesn't look streaky when you apply it. The color blends easily and works great for contouring. It works well for all skin tones but if you're very fair, this may be too dark for your taste so you might want to pass on this particular color. (I'm an NC30 in MAC) But if you want that sun kissed warm summer glow, definitely pick this up.

The Many Uses Of Helium Pigment

I've had MAC's Helium pigment for over a year now. Maybe two years. And I haven't really used it. I think it's such a difficult color to work with because it's so vibrant yet really sheer and also really really shimmery.

The best you can do is to probably top it off on to some pink eyeshadow just to add extra shimmer or you can apply it wet to really bring out it's vibrancy.
Here are different ways that I like to use Helium pigment.

EYES

UDPP as primary base
MAC Bare Study p/p as a base
MAC Helium pigment all over lid applied wet & topped off dry
MAC Pandemonium e/s on crease
MAC Carbon e/s on outer corner
MAC Cloudbound e/s as highlight

FACE

LIPS
