Huda Beauty Tan Light GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder ($ 31.00 for 0.28 oz.) Is a medium-dark brown with warmer, more orange undertones and a “naturally matte” finish that wasn’t entirely flat and matte, but didn’t shimmer openly on the skin. The texture felt smooth, almost creamy, as it was pushed into the pan a little tighter (though not stiff!) And gave me a lot of control over how much product I picked up with my brush.
The opacity was more semi-opaque than really buildable as I needed a lighter hand to do it, which, like most pigmented products, was certainly an option. The powder was wonderful to apply to my skin, blended almost effortlessly and lasted a good eight and a half hours before it visibly faded.

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 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.
