BECCA shadow & Light Bronze/Contour Perfector, $49
I feel conflicted about BECCA’s shadow & Light Bronzer/Contour Perfector…
Released earlier this summer, it’s a split pan powder bronzer ($49). The darker side is for shaping as well as shading, the lighter golden side for highlighting as well as adding dimension.

Initially, it piqued my rate of interest since it utilizes black undertones to simulate the appearance of shadows on the skin.
I believed that sounded neat.

After trying it out, yeah, in some ways, I do believe it’s awesome. Like, it makes it simple to go from routine chubby-cheeked Karen to ’80s Duran Duran video vixen since it carves out cheekbones quicker than you can state “Cheese as well as sour cream, son!” in line at Chipotle, as well as it does it in remarkable fashion.

Also in its favor, the highlighting pan’s shimmer isn’t as well disco drag queen roller derby either (not that I don’t crave that kind of thing from time to time).
Bottom line, if you don’t mind a bit radiate as well as can contour as well as bronze while hanging upside down on a flying trapeze — in other words, you truly understand exactly how to work it — I believe BECCA shadow & Light Bronze/Contour Perfector might be excellent for you.
But for overall beginners…not so much.
For starters, the darker contouring side is truly dark. I’m speaking DARK.
It can take a while to blend out any type of visible edges, as well as you requirement quite great clean control. It doesn’t leave a great deal of space for error, as well as if you don’t understand what you’re doing, things can get muddy as well as untidy fast.
On the other hand, if you’re a seasoned bronzing/contouring pro, it might be a outstanding find.
