the perfect tan in a compact...Perfection in a compact...I have watched so many makeup tutuorials that stress "matte bronzers" that I never tried one with any luminosity to it.

What it is:

A travel-size bronzer that fuses the illuminating effects of Ambient® Lighting Powder with bronze pigments to add depth and dimension for a sunkissed glow.


What it does:

Perfectly sized for travel, each mini compact fuses the illuminating effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with bronze pigments for sheer, airy, buildable color with a radiant finish. While traditional bronzer tends to be flat, Ambient Lighting Bronzer uses Photoluminescent Technology for seamless blending and color transitions. The hand-made powders are formulated using an advanced miscelare technique—which means "to mix" in Italian—creating the perfect balance of pigment and powder, and no two look alike.
