Tansculpt Bronzing Contour Balm

A cream bronzer that sets like a powder. It goes on as a gel balm, melts into the skin on contact, and dries down to a velvet matte rather than staying tacky, which is what stops it lifting foundation or going patchy over the top of it. Coverage is medium and buildable.

Silica microspheres do the blurring, softening the look of pores and fine lines as the balm sets, and vitamin E adds antioxidant support. The finish is soft-focus rather than flat.

Eight shades, all built on neutral undertones so they work either as a bronzer across the forehead, cheekbones and jaw, or as a soft contour along the same lines. Neutral rather than warm means it reads as shadow rather than as colour, which is the difference between contour that sculpts and contour that looks orange.

Best for

Adding warmth and dimension with a soft matte finish. Works as either a bronzer or a soft contour, and layers over foundation without disturbing it.

How to use

Using a brush, start at the forehead, then work along the cheekbones, down the jawline and along the sides of the nose. Build gradually rather than applying heavily. Can be used on bare skin or over foundation.

Key ingredients

Silica microspheres blur the look of pores and fine lines with a soft-focus finish. Tocopheryl acetate provides antioxidant support.
