Revolution Beauty Bronzer Reloaded

Very Nice - Long Weekend

I prefer the Bronzer Reloaded in Long Weekend (BR LW) to the Revolution Pro Skin Finishes (RP SF) that I own in Warm Glow and Lustrous. The RP SFs have way too much glitter for me to use as finishing powders, unlike what others here have said. Maybe this is only true on darker skin tones? The LW is ...not dark enough for me to use as a bronzer, but is fine as a skin finish. I already own several Becca highlighters; those are too glittery for my taste as well and are therefore used judiciously. Because the BR LW is more finely milled than the two RP Skin Finishes I own, even if you pass your brush over the gold sections, it will not deposit chunks of gold on your skin. For reference, I have warm-toned medium brown-skin and say no thanks to the chunks of gold delivered by the RP SFs. As for the RP SFs being dupes for ambient lighting shades, not sure about that. I also have the two MUR Radiance and Beyond Radiance palettes and they have smaller chunks of glitter and are a bit more subtle than the the RP SFs. I cannot use all of the colors in those palettes as all-over skin finishes (too pale), but can use the darker colors for that.
