... for ever and ever
On occasion all you want is to add a little colour to a skin rather than do a full make-up. This is especially true in the case of male make-ups, maybe when you want to achieve an effortless hero tan (you know, that healthy outdoorsy complexion - think of the characters in the US TV series Lost) or where keeping products to a minimum is sometimes key to a happy (if a little fussy) customer.
A very handy tinting fluid for to evening out skin tones, giving a healthy glow or natural looking tan to fair to medium skins or adding a little lift to darker skins. I love using this on my male clients and, as it is free from those pesky glitter particles it is great for high definition.
Designed to be blended with a moisturiser, I have a tendancy to use it neat for a little more density. A great organic dupe for the (very non-organic) Make-up Forever HD Primer No 4 (the caramel-y coloured one for those in the know), a product I formally used for creating my hero tans, Bronze Concentrate is much sheerer and in all honesty much less orangey. Depending on the skin tone, used neat it can add a delicate glow or look positively tropical!
A very runny liquid formulation, you do have to be on the ball as it dries very quickly and needs working to avoid streaking. I usually apply it to the back of my hand and then work it into the skin with a foundation brush and my fingers. You only need a small amount of the concentrate to get the coverage so go easy and the little glass bottle will last you for ages!
There is a distinctive, slightly herbal scent to the concentrate that is a little reminiscent of a health food store. Slightly dated and it could be off putting for some but if you can get past the scent (it does fade after a time) then it's certainly worth a try.
