New CID Cosmetics i-Bronze in Rio

New CID Cosmetics i-Bronze in Rio

I've mentioned this quite often on my blog as it's one of my Holy Grail bronzer/blush so I thought it's about time I dedicate a post to it! 

I first heard of New CID Cosmetics back in November, and their i-Bronze in Rio was one of the first products I tried... it was love at first use! Okay well maybe not that extreme, because I had underestimated it's pigmentation and had applied way too much on my first go but ever since then I've learnt to use it with a light hand and I love it! I wear it pretty much every time I'm wearing makeup.

I love their packaging - white, sleek and sturdy. The i-Bronze compact comes with a handy mirror which is great! 

i-Bronze in Rio is a marbling of blends of bronze, golds, pinks and browns, that when swirled together gives a lovely sun-kissed colour that is suitable for most skin tones. It's almost a light terracotta brown with very fine gold shimmer (it's not overly shimmery once on the skin). I love the marbling of the product, each one is different and looks so pretty - some have more browns and some more pinks, so depending on what you prefer it might be worth having a look first, if possible. But I prefer mine with more browns, since I use it more as a bronzer/contour. I find that the overall colour just gives an instant healthy glow and there are days when I will just use tinted moisturiser, filled-in brows and i-Bronze Rio and I'm good to go! I tend to use my EcoTools Bamboo Bronzer Brush, which I love to use with bronzers, and swirl it around 2 - 3 times, tap off any excess and lightly brush onto my cheeks, temples and jawline - instant glow!
