PRODUCT REVIEW: MAYBELLINE NEW YORK BRICK BRONZER

Today I'd like to share with you a brand new product launch from Maybelline NY - the Brick Bronzer...well, actually, this bronzer has not yet launched, as Maybelline is testing the waters first, and I've been one of the lucky ones to put it to the test. This Brick Bronzer is an all-in-one bronzing palette combining shimmering bricks of highlighter with a matte bronzer.

The combination of the matte bronzer and the shimmering highlighter, allows you to create just the look you want, matte or glowing. The bronzer can be used all over the face to give a warmer sun-tanned complexion, but it can also be used in specific areas to define, such as under the cheek bones to sculpt and define the face.

Here after you can finish with the a touch of the shimmery bricks in the areas where the light would naturally hit your face, such as top of the cheek bones, brow bones etc, to give the skin a natural glow.

The shade Blondes, which I tried, is a perfect match for my medium beige skin tone, with the bronzer not too dark or pale, and the highlighter sufficient amount of sheen without being too glittery or shimmery, and overall gives the skin a nice bronzed and glowing complexion.

Two thirds of the palette is made up of the matte bronzer, while the last third is the brick detailed highlighter, with pale pink, rose gold pink and bronzy shaded highlighters. You can of course use the bronzer or the highlighter individually, or alternatively combined by swirling a large brush over the whole compact for an overall sheen.

Overall I think this is a great bronzer and highlighter palette. Some may argue that it lacks a mirror, but personally I really don't care, as I wouldn't apply this on the go any way, and as always with Maybelline, you get a substantial amount of product for will, knowing Maybelline, be a bargain price.
