Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer #03 Macchiato Light Medium With

Absolutely gorgeous cream bronzer! I've used a variety of cream bronzers in the past but so many of them felt too thick, clay-like, and dull. I experience none of those problems with this bronzer. It's well pigmented, almost balmy, and has a radiant glow to it. I don't know how exactly to describe the radiance. It's not glittery or even metallic — there's a subtle opalescence within the pigment that lends a soft sheen to the skin. In terms of application, the consistency is forgiving enough that you can blend with fingers, a brush, or a sponge. I lean toward brushes and fingers myself, but I like to do a final bounce of the beauty blender across my skin once all of my makeup has been applied as it melts everything together.

- shade 02 Butta biscuit 🤠Sadly not one of my absolute faves - which is rare for Fenty complexion products as I love pretty much everything else I've tried from them. It's also the most expensive cream bronzer I own for the amount of product you get (£29 RRP and you only get a measly 6.23g of product). My main complaint is the bronzer shade. Butta biscuit (02) is described as light with neutral undertone - however I find it to pull closer to olive. Unfortunately this doesn't suit my cool undertone at all and I don't find it especially flattering. However if you have a more yellow leaning or specifically olive undertone then this would probably look beautiful on you! I also don't love the packaging. Its a mirrored compact which leaves finger prints everywhere ... More- shade 02 Butta biscuit 🤠Sadly not one of my absolute faves - which is rare for Fenty complexion products as I love pretty much everything else I've tried from them.

However if you have a more yellow leaning or specifically olive undertone then this would probably look beautiful on you! I also don't love the packaging. Its a mirrored compact which leaves finger prints everywhere and it has the same opening clasp as the Fenty cream blush, which I find slightly awkward to open as there isn't a lip or edge to grasp onto. The bronzer compact is much larger in size than the blushes and it also has a mirror in the lid. The bronzer pan is very shallow so it is very easy to access with a brush or sponge. The bronzer formula is more on the emollient side and it does apply to the skin beautifully. It has a medium-pigmentation so it's easy to build up and doesn't become too pigmented too quickly or tricky to work with. It applies nicely under and over powder and lasts well on the skin. Overall 2ï¸ âƒ£/5ï¸ âƒ£ - the formula is nice but nothing special - but I think it would be really beginner friendly. However it's very expensive for the small amount of product you get, so I definitely don't think it's worth it from that perspective. And I also think this shade is probably better suited if you have a warmer undertone ğŸ¤

I am very fair skin tone and I have the shade Am er and Butta Biscuit. For Amber, I give four stars and Butta Biscuit five stars. I like the formula a lot. It’s very lightweight and often when my makeup has melted off, this is the last product standing. It took me a while to figure out the application. With cream products I usually use my fingertips but it’s hard to get a good diffused contour with my fingertips. A brush didn’t move the product around as well as I hoped. Dabbing the beautyblender directly into the product, while not the cleanest, works very beautifully. Instant contour or bronze. Amber is a true contour shade and I find this shade is a bit more difficult to work with than the Butta Biscuit. It feels stiffer.

Amber is a true contour shade and I find this shade is a bit more difficult to work with than the Butta Biscuit. It feels stiffer. Also if you are not careful your contour can get muddy quickly. Butta Biscuit, however, is a pale person’s bronzer dreams come true. Not too orange, not too red, perfect. The formula feels creamier too but wear time is still amazing. Butta Biscuit had been my cream bronzer adoration for a few months now and I have one seriously huge makeup addiction so a few months is impressive.

A staple item for cool toned pale skin

This colour is perfect for fair skinned people! I had this shade in the matchstick formula before, and this is the identical colour. I find the formula is a bit creamier and more blendable. My favourite part of the formula is that it starts creamy and blendable, but develops a powdery, matte finish once blended out. It's really easy to work with, and it can be built up for a darker and more intense application, or diffused easily if you're very fair. Works well with a blender sponge or a dense face brush. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with pale, cool toned skin! My only gripe is that it's a little overpriced, and the plastic packaging doesn't have the high end feel that you'd hope for given the price point.

Absolute PERFECTION - Good for light skin

This cream bronzer is just PERFECTION. I use it for every day and for nights out, it is natural looking and buildable if needed. Butta biscuit 02is literally the perfect shade for light skin! It has the slightest satin effect to it (not glittery but not flat matte either) and makes my skin glow from within. Like wow!! I am obsessed. I was debating getting the Amber 01 but looked too taupey and I am so happy I didn’t get that one as I was not looking for a cool contour colour but rather to add a slight warmth to my skin. I can achieve a contoured effect with the Butta Biscuit too so it’s the best of both worlds. I use a real techniques angled brush 401 to apply it and works wonderfully. The pot gets a little messy but the product is so good. I recommend x1000.

Expensive but perfect bronzer for olive skin tones

[Positive]+ nice formula: creamy and easy to spread, does not require any setting once it dries.+ amazing color for olive skin, not orange at all. Contains just enough green to blend into your skin tone-wise and add a natural-looking warmth. thebalm's Bahama Mama bronzer is often touted as a great bronzer for olive skin, but that one pulls pinky orange on me. As a cool olive, Teddy is infinitely better. See first photo for comparison.+ versatile. I am around Fenty foundation shade 130-145 in depth, and though I am light it still works for me.+ subtle shimmer, luminous but not glittery.+ silly personal thing, but the shade name "Teddy" is cute :)[Negative]- price per gram is very expensive. This bronzer is $72.59 per 10 grams, versus Milk Makeup's bronzer ... More[Positive]+ nice formula: creamy and easy to spread, does not require any setting once it dries.+ amazing color for olive skin, not orange at all.

(Thank you to blogger Coquettenoelle for the price comparison)[Neutral]~ takes some warming up to work at its best. I recommend putting it in your bra/binder/pants/somewhere enclosed against your body heat while you do other makeup to warm it up, and/or applying it first to the thumb part of your palm and then to the face.[Overall]I would buy it again since 1) I don't use bronzer too often to run out of a produce at a rate that would make its high dollar per gram price point unreasonable, and 2) the tone is just perfect for olive skin.First pic: from top - Fenty Teddy bronzer, thebalm Bahama Mama, Makeup Revolution Bronze and Glow bronzer, Physician's Formula Butter Latte bronzer.

Gorgeous colour but broke me out

I was so impressed with Fenty's Contour Stick in Amber that I was sure I would love this product just as much. The colour is gorgeous and works for my fair skin with cool neutral undertones. However, the product is difficult to blend and can give a "muddy" appearance. The biggest flaw for me was it broke me out. At first I thought it could have been my base foundation, but after a few uses I have determined it is the cream bronzer. Very disappointed as I have large breakouts on the area the product was used and it is more of a splurge bronzer in terms of price point. The contour stick imo performs better after being warmed up on the back of the hand.

I love this

It’s best cream bronzer I have ever used, and I don’t use other cream bronzers anymore after trying this. It’s so worth the money. I tell you why: It has so many shades, so I think everyone will find their perfect shade. I bought the shade Butta Biscuit and It works so well for my fair skin. It’s pigmented, but it’s so creamy so it blends like a dream, and it doesn’t go patchy. It looks pretty natural, and gives me the most amazing glow. Packaging is also very beautiful. I have this, and Fenty’s Cream blush, and I love both. I can’t wait to try more Fenty products I’m so Impressed!

Its a no for me

I wanted to love this so bad!My skin tone is light warm golden (nc20ish). I am a what you would call a warm autumn.First the good: this formula is awesome to apply; it has a lot of slip and its not super pigmented so you do dont have to be a pro to apply this and you wont ever end up looking like a clown. I found it worked well on my dry skin.The bad: for me, the undertone of butta biscuit was all wrong.. its so hard to tell these things online, so this was my bad, not the product. The bronzers that tend to look good on me are the ones everyone complains are too "orangy" or peachy. I found this one leans very neutral. I compared it to clinique sunkissed which i love and this is way more of a greyish, flat brown and not nearly as warm.This also has a slight sheen ... MoreI wanted to love this so bad!My skin tone is light warm golden (nc20ish).

Theres no glitter in it, but it gave my forehead a little bit of that "im a tiny bit sweaty" look which i didnt care for. Now maybe it was my foundation or skincare which contributed to this, but these two things coupled with the price is why i gave it only three stars.This isnt a bad product by any means, it just wasnt for me

Lives up to the hype. For sure.

For reference I'm an N4 to N5 in MAC face and body most of the year, and shade "Teddy" is pretty fantastic for me. Warm without being at all orange. It has a super buildable coverage that is beyond easy to work with. Like...to the point I think you could be extremely fair and with the right brush and a light hand...find a way for the deepest shade to be flattering. Kinda magical like that.I apply it with a densely packed foundation brush.It (teddy) definitely does not have any cool undertones, but it's sheer enough that with a deft hand, it can also work as a contour.It's quite emollient without feeling greasy. I've applied it to a bare face, over foundation, and even topped it up over (light) powder towards the end of the day. It plays well with all.It does dry ... MoreFor reference I'm an N4 to N5 in MAC face and body most of the year, and shade "Teddy" is pretty fantastic for me. Warm without being at all orange.

It plays well with all.It does dry down significantly, though not to a powder finish. I am actually a fan of this, as I prefer a natural to dewy finish on my whole face (I only set my t-zone and under eyes).The only ding I can find is there are some sort of tiny fibers in the pan. I suppose they *could* be coming from my brush...but they're far finer and shorter than it's hairs. I've also heard a couple of YouTube folks mention this. I've had these present with other (high end) panned cream and cream to powder products. While I'm not doing cartwheels over it, I'm also not returning it because I've found that when it's present in one unit, it's present in all.Overall fantastic product. Will definitely purchase again.
