Cover your skin in a beautiful sun-kissed radiance thanks to the innovative Material bronzer by Giorgio Armani, which redefines what a powdered bronzer can be.
This is my second makeup purchase from Armani, and I am immediately impressed. I had never tried Armani makeup before because it is not as widely available as other high-end brands. However, after researching for a few months, I decided to take advantage of their 20% off friends and family sale and purchased two bronzers that I had been eyeing for some time.
The packaging exudes luxury in an elegant way. It is black and simple yet feels durable and heavy, with a special magnetic closure. The overall packaging gives off an advanced vibe.
The branding on the product is subtle, which I appreciate. There is a separate compartment for a brush, although I personally do not use it. I like that they included a separate space for it without adding bulk to the packaging.
I selected two shades:
– Pantelleria (100): A light, soft brown with a golden glow. This shade is stunning and perfect for light skin tones. Despite some feedback I received about it appearing too yellow and muddy on certain skin tones, I find it to be a refined version of NARS Laguna or MAC Sundipped bronzer. It has a soft, silky texture and a natural finish that gives a sun-kissed look.
– Warm (400): A warmer shade with strong red undertones. Suitable for both light and medium skin tones, this shade offers a different finish compared to Pantelleria. It provides a warm blush/bronzer effect, reminiscent of Guerlain bronzers. I personally enjoy these types of shades for their depth, but I am careful not to apply them too heavily.
Although these two shades may look similar in the pan, they appear distinct on the skin.
Both bronzers have a soft, silky texture that blends easily, allowing for buildable coverage. The unique pattern adds to their appeal.
Priced at $54, the quality of these bronzers aligns with other high-end brands like Guerlain. The Material bronzer by Armani is a standout product in the bronzer category.
Overall, I am impressed by my experience with these bronzers and look forward to trying more products from Armani in the future.
