Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer

I used to use a matte bronzer by Too Faced, until I finally ran out and had to buy a new bronzer. I borrowed this from a friend and instantly fell in love. This has VERY slight shimmer, just enough to make your skin look healthy, unlike matte bronzer, which can sometimes make your face look dirty if improperly applied. This Tarte bronzer also didn't budge all day -- I don't know about "waterproof," but it didn't smudge or fade throughout the day. It blends well, and it isn't too pigmented so you can build up the color (my past bronzers were always too pigmented, resulting in unintentional heavy-handed initial application.) I definitely recommend this for anyone who has medium skin tones as well, because it isn't too orange or brown. I personally have light-medium skin with yellow undertones, and I love the natural look this bronzer creates! « less

I love Tarte product. I bought this one because it was a waterproof bronzer. But, when you swatch it, its a very shimmery not even close to being matte. P.S. I do own a Tarte blushes, and they are the best blush you can possible have. Last all day long, very pigmented and doesn't looks like you have a lot of a product.

I have super oily skin so this bronzer has worked perfectly for me. It has a beautiful natural-looking matte finish that gives me that hint of a “tanned” look without having to get my face in the sun (which I no longer do because of wrinkles and skin cancer). I apply it with a fan brush across my forehead, cheeks, down the bridge of my nose and my chin and it gives me a natural-looking tanned effect. I love the fact that it has the matte finish especially because I’ve got such oily skin. My dermatologist told me that when looking for products to look for products with antioxidants and vitamins in the ingredient list and this has both so it’s not only a great looking bronzer, it’s good for my skin at the same time. It is very lightweight and goes on sheer with buildable coverage so I can start lightly and keep adding until I’ve got the amount of color I need without putting on too much with the first swipe of the brush. I can wear it all day without it fading into my oily skin and I think it actually helps control the oiliness so I can say honestly that it has real staying power. I think this is a really great bronzer and Tarte makes great products so I’d definitely recommend giving this bronzer a try. <span class="shop__a pd-reviews__translate-span">« less</span>

I’ve used Tarte Amazonian Clay bronzers for years. I love the silky texture of the formula and how blendable this is. It is also truly waterproof. It takes a makeup remover or cleanser to get this to budge which is perfect if you’re an active minimalist like me. My only critique is that I wish there were a greater range of shades since this product is so great. 

I have light-brown skin (light-medium foundation) but it is on the ashy side so I need a little help to give me that beautiful golden glow. This bronzer delivers that wonderfully. It has a bit of shimmer so it is perfect to just wear on its own like a highlighter or over a peachy-pink blush. I can definitely see how this would be a universal shade.It is super pigmented so use a very light hand, and it is buildable and blends like a dream. Just make sure you have the right brush. Try it on in different lighting so you can really see how much you need to use. It lasts the whole day for me - no touchups needed! If you are someone who needs to carry touchups, I would put this in a separate pouch as I do not see the magnetic closure being very secure.If you prefer a matte bronzer, definitely try their matte waterproof bronzer in the same shade; I like to use that on my neck to give it a bit of a glow. Less
