Huda Beauty Medium GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder ($ 31.00 for 0.28 ounces) is a medium brown with warmer, orange undertones and a “natural” matte finish. It wasn’t flat and didn’t shimmer openly, which made it very flattering on bare skin or foundation without matting too much.
The texture felt smooth, finely ground without being powdery, but it wasn’t too tightly pressed to be stiff or difficult to pick up. It had a semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that had more coverage than marketed. So if necessary, use a lighter hand for real, buildable coverage. The bronzer is easy to apply and blend on my skin. It wore well for eight hours before it faded a little.

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.
