Huda Beauty Rich GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder ($ 31.00 for 0.28 ounces) is a dark brown with subtle, warm reddish undertones and a “natural” matte finish. It had medium to semi-opaque buildable pigmentation which was more in line with marketing the product, but you should still use a slightly lighter hand if you prefer really buildable coverage.
The texture felt incredibly smooth, was finely ground and easy to work with as it could be blended, almost smudged on my skin, and didn’t blotch on bare skin. It wore well for nine 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 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.
