Victoria Beckham Beauty #03 Matte Bronzing Brick Review & Swatches

#03

Victoria Beckham Beauty #03 Matte Bronzing Brick ($58.00 for 0.34 oz.) includes two more mid-tone shades of warmer brown with one leaning slightly redder and the other being yellower in its warmth. They were pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing, and the formula delivered even coverage that blurred my skin slightly.

Note: $58 includes the price of the bronzer duo in its compact. The refill can be purchased for $42 (which is what is shown.)

The bronzer is supposed to "blend seamlessly, wear effortlessly, and [be] impossible to overdo." It is also supposed to have a "soft focus finish" that "blur[s]" skin. The brand doesn't seem to make any specific claims on pigmentation, though promotional swatches show them as opaque.

The bronzers tended to be more pigmented than not with many shades delivering full coverage in a single layer, though they could be used with a lighter hand to get more buildable coverage, if desired. The texture was particularly finely-milled, smooth, and silky without being powdery nor too thin or too dry. They picked up evenly with a brush and blended out effortlessly, as marketed. I'd agree that they have some blurring capabilities, too, as they seemed to soften and leave my skin look smoother rather than powdery or "flat" as more matte finishes can.

They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Sand

Sand is a medium-dark brown with warm, slightly reddish undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had a deeper, richer warmth to it, especially applied and diffused on my skin. The bronzer had rich color coverage with a smooth, silky texture that was incredibly finely-milled without being powdery, which resulted in a very blendable formula that was forgiving of skin texture. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Sol Matte Bronzer

Sol

Sol is a mediumbrown with strong, warm golden undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, blendable consistency that was finely-milled and silky to the touch but not powdery. It had a stronger, yellower warmth to it than the shade it was paired with. The product lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.
