Physicians Formula - Murumuru Butter Bronzer - Face Bronzer with Ultra-Rich Formula with Murumuru Butter for Radiant Brightness, Creamy and Soft Texture - Bright Finish - Light Bronzer

Product Information

This bronzer has murumuru butter, cupuacu butter, and tucuma butter, which claim to moisturize the skin. It’s odd that this bronzer claims to soften your skin. I do feel that my skin is softer in the areas that I applied the bronzer… but that could be the placebo effect talking. But for sure, I can say this bronzer does not leave my skin feeling dry, as my NYC Sunny Bronzer does. I’m not sure if the ingredients or fragrance in the bronzer have given me little red bumps, or if it’s something else, but I thought I’d mention this for sensitive skin users out there. So many of us are unwavering in our opinion that we simply look better with a bit of a tan – especially now the last of that Mykonos glow has faded and the colder climes have arrived with a bang. But, as we all know, a real suntan is so 2014. The answer lies in a decent bronzer – and today, we’re spoilt for choice. Russell considers a cream bronzer the most modern option, as they give a natural, skin-like finish. ‘Feathering one on your forehead, cheeks, and the bridge of your nose with a blending brush will give a soft veil of healthy, skin-like glow,' she says.

As for what consistency to go for, that’s really up to you. Oily skins typically lean towards powder formulas for their mattifying effect, but for dry or normal skin types, cream and liquid bronzers deliver a very natural, glowy effect. How do you apply bronzer? My favorite way of applying this bronzer on my cheeks is with none other than the applicator it comes with. The applicator gets a lot of hate, but the sponge makes chiseling out the hollows of my cheeks so easy and blends out the bronzer so smoothly. For bronzing up the rest of my face, I like using my usual bronzing brush, which is a tapered blush brush. But while liquids, creams and oils (yes really – stay with me) are the best choice for skin glossing, a good old powder will always win in the longevity stakes. Today’s best are much more luminous than that tangerine compact we all carried around in the 00’s, and many come with dual tones to allow for some sneaky contouring, too. Here’s where it gets complicated: Despite bronzer’s ability to wake up your skin, so many formulas tend to be too orange, too ashy, too glittery, or just overall fake-looking. But once you know exactly what to look for, the ability to fake a glow and Bella Hadid–level cheekbones becomes far simpler. That’s where we come in. Brush up on your bronzer basics below, and then scroll on for the best bronzers according to makeup artists. Best Bronzers 2023:Whether it's a matte, cream or illuminating bronzer that brings you joy, a good formula should spark your natural warmth and add a little "zing" to your face and skin anytime of the year,' says Bobbi Brown artist, Amalie Russell. 'Making sure you get the right bronzer for your skin tone is so important: the wrong one can either make you look orange, ashy or like there’s no make-up on you. It’s all about getting the balance right here.' This bronzer wears for a couple short hours and disappears. In my experience, bronzers don’t last long, but this bronzer seems to wear off very fast. As it wears, it doesn’t become splotchy; it just becomes lighter and lighter until it looks like it’s completely gone. I almost feel that because the bronzer is so soft and blendable, it doesn’t have much staying power. Again, I don’t wear foundation under my bronzer so you may find that the bronzer lasts longer with a base to adhere to. Fragrance

RiRi’s Fenty Beauty line is known for its inclusive shade range, and this cream bronzer is no exception. “I don’t wear bronzer often, but when I do, I love a creamy formula like this,” says Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro. “I swirl my finger around the pigment and dab it right along my cheeks, and then I’ll take a wet sponge to blend it in.” Its blendable formula makes it easy to achieve a natural-looking glow, and it comes in seven shades to suit a range of skin tones. Plus, the cream-to-powder finish is perfect for those who want a matte look without any cakiness. “What I’ve noticed the most about this formula is that even on super-hot days it won’t melt off or start running down my face,” Navarro adds. You don’t have to be a tan fanatic to appreciate the virtues of a good bronzer. The best bronzers elevate a sallow complexion while imparting a sun-kissed glow to the face, décolletage, arms, and even legs—and on all skin tones. At times when sunshine is difficult to come by, they are a lifesaver, and a speedy way to make skin look healthy with hardly any effort.

But with so many bronzers on the shelves, how do you know which one to choose? Select the wrong shade, and you might end up more terracotta than tanned. And when you’re trying to keep things natural, the wrong glitter ratio is sure to hamper your efforts.

I don’t really care for the scent too much. I don’t dislike the smell of coconut and I think coconut itself in its many shapes and forms is delicious in food or even handy as a makeup remover, but this fragrance doesn’t quite cut it for me. It did initially remind me of the Kate Spade fragrance that smells like coconut, which I do enjoy a lot more. I originally wanted this product in the darker shade called Bronzer, as opposed to Light Bronzer because I didn’t think Light Bronzer would show up on my skin. Turns out it does show up. This bronzer swatches funny- the way it swatches on my hand isn’t how it shows up on my face. The color blends in with my hand so that it’s nearly invisible, except for a slight sheen under the light. But in the shadows, I can see a faint swatch of the bronzer, which ends up looking darker than my hand. What a good bronzer can also do is add definition. It can create cheekbones where perhaps there were none before, as well as enhance collarbones and the jawline in an instant. It’s all about adding light and shade, creating shapes, and acquiring a lit-from-within radiance that looks natural. Like you, but better. How do I find the best bronzer?

Now for the most important part: placement. As legendary make-up artist Gucci Westman explains, 'you don't want to go into the nose or below the cheek. When applying bronzer I focus on the upper half of the face. Blend it so it finishes naturally on your cheeks, or you’ll struggle to fade the colour out.' I’m sensitive to scents and I’ve tried airing out the bronzer on multiple occasions. Over time, the scent of the bronzer fills the entire room. It’s ridiculous how strongly scented this makeup product is. It’s potent enough to be sold as a perfume. Recommend? Blended out on my face, the bronzer looks like a warm, light beige shade. It looks very natural. When applied with a heavy hand and not blended out, the bronzer has a tint of orange. But because it’s so blendable, I never have an issue of looking orange. Instead, it adds some warm shading to my face without any shimmer. It pairs nicely with any deeper toned bronzer, making both products look seamless together.

I’m dedicating a whole section to fragrance because I think the smell is way too strong. And maybe part of the problem is that I apply too much bronzer- the color is light on me so I really build it up. I can smell this bronzer when I go in to apply it and I can smell it hours after I’ve applied it. Even when I think the smell has finally disappeared, once I turn my head, a waft of the artificial coconut scent enters my nostrils. I have no idea if my face smells to anyone else- I would hope my face is unscented, especially if I didn’t even use any fragrance.

Discover the Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer 11g, a ultra-luxurious bronzer, infused with Murumuru Butter, delivers a radiant Brazilian goddess glow! Features ultra-refined pearl and soft-focus pigments that smooth skin texture, brighten skin tone and deliver a gorgeous bronze finish. The Butter Bronzer in Light Bronzer is ideal for fairer skin tones. I think medium skin tones may get some use out of this if they want to add a subtle, natural warmth to their face. Once I applied the bronzer to my skin, it glided on effortlessly and blended easily. I was in awe of how well the shade worked on me, making me look like I just came from being out in the sun. When I added contour, it deepened the color, but I also tried it without and still loved the result. The color lasted for hours, and I was happy it didn't streak or look patchy, even after some time. The Butter Bronzer feels soft almost like suede and applies smoothly to the skin. I’m impressed with the way it applies because I usually use bronzer on a bare face. Without foundation or a base to adhere to, face products like this can tend to look patchy, but this bronzer doesn’t look patchy it all.
