Review: Gosh Bronzing Powder 02 Natrual Glow

 




To me this is the best bronzer I have ever used, it is perfect if you are pale because it is lighter compared to most bronzers on the market and has no orange effect, I have used it on a medium tone skin and it looks just as lovely. If you like the tone of Benefit Hoola but find it a bit too dark this is literally the next shade down. It has this pretty glow to it but zero shimmer or sparkle so great for contouring. Below I swatched it next to a popular higher end bronzer Benefit Hoola and a drugstore favorite Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 22.
