Huda Beauty Deep Tan GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder ($ 31.00 for 0.28 ounces) is a medium dark, deeper brown with warm, light orange undertones and a “natural” matte finish. It had near-opaque paint coverage in a single layer so it really had to be used with a lighter hand to get the better buildable coverage marketed.
Fortunately, the powder lived up to the “not powdery” claim, so that a little more firm pressure (although not stiff!) On my brush. It applied well to bare skin because the powder was applied evenly and spread well around the edges. There were signs of fading at the 8 hour mark, although after 12 hours (the stated wear time) there was about 70% left.

Formula overview
$ 31.00 –
The formula is said to be “buildable” and “easy to use” with an “airy, non-powdery texture” that “lasts” [hours]. “The opacity was more or less 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 hues lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading, and with most hues, around 70% of the product was visible after the 12 hour mark.
