Revlon Photoready Bronzer Limited Edition Escapism Summer 2012Collection Review&Swatches

This bronzer came out in the Revlon by Gucci Westman Escapism Collection for Summer 2012.

Since this is a Limited Edition Item, if you can get your hands on it and you have a medium complexion, I would highly suggest you to purchase it! 

This bronzer consist of 4 colours (I am going to describe each individually) all of the colours are matte but have different undertones in my opinion. Matte bronzers are favorable because they give a much more natural effect, which is good. Especially for bronzer beginners who are afraid to contour!

1. The lightest shade is a yellow toned light brown colour.

2. The shade on top right is a neutral tone medium brown colour.

3. The bottom right is a orange tone medium brown colour.

4. The darkest shade is a neutral tone medium-dark brown colour.

The packaging is pretty hefty for a drugstore item, it is made of plastic but looks refined from the outside. It contains a mirror and also a cheap plastic brush that has rough bristles. I usually contour using my favorite Shu Uemura 14H angled brush. I have never used the brush included because I put it away and do not need it. For people who like brushes in their product that are small and easy to carry around, it might be quite handy, but I just don't really like it :)

I did not swatch these colours heavily, but I must say the pigmentation is very nice and the powder formulation glides on smoothly, and is highly blendable when applied to my face for contouring.

It also lasts on my skin and does make you "PHOTOREADY", with flash or non flash photography, this bronzer contours the shape of my face like wonders. 

All in all, it has become my favorite bronzer for contouring because I can mix up the shades and use it for different parts of my face. I like contouring my nose with a lighter, subtle colour or else it will look highly unnatural. The other 3 colours are nice for contouring my cheekbones and jaw line.
