Yes, pale and interesting is in but a quick brush of bronzer is almost an essential for Irish skin to give a more alive and less dead vibe to our white complexions.   I’ve been testing out the He-Shi bronzer over the last few weeks.  Being a creature of habit and a user of Egypt Wonder for more years than I care to admit this product review was approached with trepidation.  Obviously the cautious approach meant first trying it on a day when I hadn’t planned on going anywhere!

Fortunately there was no need to dig a whole and hide.  I was really pleasantly surprised at how well this bronzer looked on.  It’s described as ‘mat’ finish but if you look at it in the compact there are a couple of glittery colours in the mix.  Not being a fan of the glitter finish and always opting for  a more natural mat look I was prepared to hate it!  Not so – it does give a mat finish and a really healthy natural glow.  Having fair skin there was only need to apply a couple of strokes of this bronzer to achieve the desired look.  It’s one of those few cosmetic products that would probably suit all colourings and skin types, probably because of the array of shades used to make the compact.

They also suggest you can use this compact as an eye shadow – perhaps if you were desperate (!) and a blusher, agreed it would make a good blusher for contouring the face.  If used just along the cheek bone it would be great for giving more definition and slimming the face.   Favourite part – definitely one for brushing across your chest if wearing a vest tee or low cut top for a really natural tan, which is picked up even better by applying fake tan the day before.

Wow.ie are rating this product and giving it not one but two thumbs up.  Coming from an Irish company that will give you further incentive to try this brand over another.  The He-Shi Multi Fuzion Bronzer has a reasonable RRP of €20.  If I had to nit pick and find something to complain about it would be the design of the compact itself, a little flatter and it would take up less room in your bag!
