I just recently went to target and lucky me found the NYC Bronzer in 720G, Sunny! They retail for about 2-3 dollars, $2.74 at my target. I have heard good reviews on this bronzer and decided to give it a try. People say they are pretty hard to find so I picked up all that was left, there was only three. I currently have one open and a backup stored in my collection. I am giving my friend one for her birthday. I have to say I am impressed with this. It is MATTE!!!! I can not pull off shimmer all over my face so they matte is perfect. I have used this for over a week now and am loving it. I recommend this to all, however I am not sure what it looks like on darker skin tones. It is a light bronzer that doesn't make your face look muddy. The only complaint I have is that the packaging is kind of cheap. But I can live with that. The sponge it gives you to put it on is ****, but what do you expect; use a brush and blend well. This is a great affordable bornzer. Mine came with a small sample size NYC cover stick in medium. I tried it out and I really like it. I just ran out of my stick concealer and in need of a new one. It is creamy and covers good. Regular size retails for $1.99 I believe. Medium is pretty light. I use it for under eye circles and covering blemishes. They come in different shades including green, to counter redness! The only thing I don't like about the concealer is the packaging. What do you expect from a cheaper end brand. They spend money on the products quality, but not the packaging. You have to be careful when placing the lid back on so you don't miss and squish the concealer. All in all, I am very satisfied with these products and would defiantly buy them again. Hope you like my first review and stop by for more to come.

A few months ago, I purchased the mega-hyped N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder (720A/Sunny) at my local Ulta.

One thing a lot of people complain about is the fact it's difficult to find a natural looking bronzer without shimmer or sparkles. I, for one, don't mind getting my Edward Cullen sparkle on. (However, I prefer keeping my shirt on when glittering in the sunlight, unlike my favorite vampire.)

Having said that, matte bronzer is better for contouring. It also seems more winter-friendly, if that makes sense.

Here is my pros and cons list:

Pros: matte, natural color, doesn't break my extremely sensitive skin out, dirt cheap at $2.99

Cons: no hinge on the compact, takes a bit of elbow grease to build up the color

Would I re-purchase this? Yep, but I'm still going to try out other matte bronzers in the meantime. Any suggestions?

Have a great day, y'all!

I bought this bronzer from Wal-mart because I heard great things about it from a guru on Youtube and I was looking for a matte bronzer regardless, so I caved and bought it. Now I know why she loves it so much! It is so smooth, and it's 100% matte with no shimmer whatsoever which is what I wanted. Most bronzers say that they are matte but they still have shimmer in it and I'm so glad that this product is true to it's word. It's easy to blend, and it is the most perfect colour. For the price you can't beat it and it looks like a high end expensive bronzer on but it isn't which is the greatest thing about it! It was $4! I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for the perfect matte bronzer that just doesn't seem to exist. It's been found!

This is the only bronzer I will use. It's cheap and you can find it anywhere! It goes on smoothly and pretty even, and looks natural as long as you don't use too much!
