Huda Beauty Light GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder ($ 31.00 for 0.28 ounces) is a very light, almost peachy shade with soft, warm undertones and a “natural” matte finish. It had medium buildable pigmentation that was as marketed that worked wonderfully on bare skin with an even coat of paint that spread easily along the edges.

The bronzer had a smooth, silky consistency that was finely ground without being too powdery or too tightly pressed into the pan. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a little, although after the full 12 hour marketing there was still about 70% left.

Formula overview

$ 31.00 –

The formula is said to be “assemblable” and “easy to use” with an “airy, non-powdery texture” that holds “12” [hours]. “The opacity was rather semi-opaque to opaque, but the texture was forgiving and lived up to the claim” not powdery “so that a lighter hand was enough to pick up less product.

The texture was smooth, silky, and finely ground with a tighter press that wasn’t stiff so the product was easily picked up with a brush but was easy to control. The powders were easy to apply to bare skin and over the foundation, as they diffused, blended and sat flattering on the skin. They had a “more natural” matte finish, in which they did not appear completely flat and matte, but also did not shimmer openly.

The shades lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading, and with most shades, around 70% of the product was visible after 12 hours.
