Anastasia Sun Kissed Cream Bronzer Anastasia Sun Kissed Cream Bronzer ($ 35.00 for 0.4 oz.) Is a very light, yellowish brown with warm undertones and a naturally matte finish. It didn’t add shine, but it didn’t matt either, so my skin comes through. The consistency was light, smooth, and pliable without being thick or excessively slippery, which made for a more foolproof and forgiving application.
It had medium buildable pigmentation that was applied with a brush and slightly higher coverage (which remained buildable) with the tip of your finger. The product was easy to apply and blend no matter how you used it, and it worked just as well on the foundation as it did on bare skin. This shade wore well for eight hours before visibly fading.

Formula overview
$ 35.00 / 0.4 oz. – $ 87.50 per ounce
The formula is said to be “buildable” and “blend easily” into a “matte, seamless second skin finish” that can be applied “on bare skin” or “over makeup”. They can be used to add warmth and / or definition (by choosing a shade two to three deeper).
The texture was emollient, light and thin with moderate glide, which made it easy to apply to bare skin as well as foundation, even more matte bases. They seemed to be more pigmented when swatching on my arm, but in practice they had a medium opacity that could easily be shimmered out further or built up for greater opacity if desired. This was because the formula had enough lubricity and spreading that it naturally shimmered out as you applied it, so you had to layer it up for a truly opaque coverage.
For greater coverage, apply with your fingertips and allow to dry briefly before blending. Apply with a dab brush for greater coverage. It was a very forgiving formula and hard to overdo.
The formula dried to a matte finish but seemed to let my skin through so it didn’t look flat or dry. They wore well for eight hours before they visibly faded on me.
