Lakme Fantasy Gold Dust Shimmer Bronzer - Review
What it Claims: Be born again as an enchantress. This pure-pressed bronzing powder kissed with a golden shimmer blends beautifully to flatter any skin tone. Sweep it once all over your face or body and enjoy a glamorous glow that’s straight out of a fairytale.
Available as 3 shades in 1
MRP: Rs. 450/-
What I liked:
1. This is a wonderful shade of bronzer. I am generally not able to wear bronzers as they either look too muddy or orange on me, but this is a really pretty shade of bronzer – it is a really nice shimmery light brown that will look good on most people
2. It has a undertone of shimmer to it – which prevents it from falling flat, most matt bronzers tend to look flat & muddy.
3. It has 3 shades, but I feel it looks best when all 3 are used together.
What I didn’t like
1. The big chunks of shimmer on top of the bronzer – they have been added apparently as garnish on top & a light sweep with a fluffy brush dusts them off – but also spoils the design on top.
2. It lasts for 2-3 hours on my face & slowly the color disappears leaving behind the shimmer

Product sent by Company / PR for consideration, this is a honest recount of my experience with the product.
the colors looks really great, but I will pass it coz of the shimmer overload!
ReplyDeletehey tanveer do u use it only on ur t zone or also as a blush??
ReplyDelete@imw: I understand, the shimmer can be too much for some people :)
ReplyDelete@Shivani: Errr.. I don't understand what you mean by using a bronzer on the T-zone?? From what I know, one never uses a bronzer on the T zone, it is to be used the same way one uses a blusher.. The only thing I use on my T zone is loose powder to stop oiliness, using something this shimmery would just make me look more oily on the T zone :P
I think it is better suited as a blush/all over glow powder than as a bronzer. I like my bronzers to be matte, because I mainly use them for contouring. But it will make a nice shimmery blush, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI liked it..infact as it has three shade the darkest shade suits me the best..rest i use it as highlighter..

ReplyDelete@Tanveer-- Like you, I found the shimmer a bit too much. Would have liked more pigment.
ReplyDeleteI was planning to give it a try... but reading various reviews have made me think, esp the overload of shimmer....
ReplyDeleteTanveer, which bronzer will you recommend?
ohhh the mua at mac palladium had shown me a mac bronzer and she told me u can use it as a blush or over your t zone for a sun kissed look....I dont own any yet...so was asking...
ReplyDeleteand the bronzer she showed me was very matte..not shimmery at all...now i am confused.....will need to check on this again....:(
ReplyDeleteI didnt really like this. Even after removing the shimmer i found it so shimmery.. Its such a shame because the actual colors are absolutely gorgeous...
