A bronzing powder and self-tanner in one

I did a little spring cleaning in my makeup drawer this past weekend, and cleared some space thanks to a makeup brush edit and tossing the stuff I haven’t used in quite some time. With a bit of newfound extra room I brought a few new products into the rotation, and Vita Liberata’s Trystal Minerals Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals was one of them.

As the name implies, this mineral-based bronzing powder is also a self-tanner, so in addition to an instant sun-kissed glow, you get lasting color after you wash it off at the end of the day. The loose powder comes with a cute little kabuki brush, but I personally prefer a bigger, fluffier bronzer brush since this product is highly pigmented and deposits a lot of color.

You can use it all over for a just-got-back-from-vacation glow, or use it as a contouring powder that leaves you with defined cheekbones and a more chiseled jawline even when you’re not wearing makeup. A light dusting on your chest a neck helps create a seamless result (especially if you’re not using a self-tanner from the neck down) and the shimmer-free powder translates to very natural-looking color.

Self-tanning season is officially here… Have you started yet (and if so, what are you using)?
