My Review:
Product: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Price: $22
Would I buy again? Yes



Initial Thoughts: I grabbed this because I was going nutso at the MAC Pro store. I really didn't have a matte bronzer so I'd thought I'd give it a shot! 


Pros:
- Amazing blendability
- Versatility for many skin tones
- Matte finish is great for contouring
- A little goes a long way


Cons:
- Only available from MAC Pro
- Lesser known MAC product


Overall:
I've had it for over a month now so I feel like I can do a thorough, accurate review on it. I never considered myself a bronzer type of person but this product is seriously HG status!  Since I bought this bronzer, I haven't been able to put it down! 


This is the only matte bronzer and one of the few bronzers I have. I can safely say that it's my favorite. I use it around my forehead and my cheekbones to create beautiful Kim Kardashian-esque contours. The matte finish creates that perfectly sculpted bone structure.


The best way to use this bronzer lightly is to use a brush like the MAC 129 or 116. For added depth, use a brush that's a bit more dense like the MAC 109. The Matte Bronze runs a bit reddish bronze which instantly warms up your face! It will add color and life into your skin if you're feeling tired. Because this product is highly pigmented, a little will go a long way. Love!


Disclaimer: Like always, my reviews are honest. I was not paid to do this review nor was the product given to me for free.

Thank you for the review!

I've been deciding on which bronzer to get, and there weren't many reviews on the matte bronzer.

Thanks again :)

Thanks for the review! =) I'm confused though, the product name is Matte Bronze, but the product info from MAC says it's lightly frosted. I thought it was supposed to be matte? :)

Do you recommend this over the shaping and highlighting powders from MAC pro?

I'm always on the lookout for a new bronzer and I'm about to apply for my MAC makeup pro discount, so hopefully I can get my hands on this!
