I've had a bit of a hard time with bronzers in the past. As a pale faced gal I have to be careful to avoid appearing orange, sallow or just plain muddy looking. I've found it quite hard to find a powder with pink undertones rather than heavy orange or brown tones, but I recently stumbled upon this lovely pressed bronzing powder from Natural Collection and thought I'd give it a go. At only £1.99 I didn't have much to lose and it has since become my go-to bronzer for adding a natural hint of colour.

| Natural Collection SunTint Bronzing Powder 'Sun Shine' |
'Sun Shine' is very soft and not at all chalky, and it's easy to pick up on a bronzing brush without any fallout. There is a slight shimmer to it but it appears mostly matte and subtle, rather than super shimmery or glittery. I find it works really well as an everyday bronzer to add a flush of colour, and can be worn with blusher and an additional highlighter if desired. The colour is a lovely pinky peach with slight gold tones, making a welcome change to the heavily brown and orange bronzers on the market. I know from that The Body Shop's Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in 'Light Matte' also has lovely pink undertones, having swatched it a few times in store, and this Natural Collection pressed bronzer seems similar.

Applied on top of foundation and pressed powder 'Sun Shine' lasts throughout the day without budging and it gives a lovely healthy glow. I don't have to worry about being heavy handed as the colour is quite gentle and doesn't streak or appear chalky when applied. It's extremely easy to blend; I usually sweep it gently on my cheekbones, temples, nose and jawline and I'm good to go. I'd really recommend it as an affordable, good quality pressed bronzing powder, and there is also a darker more golden shade available called 'Golden Glow' for those who prefer a deeper colour. Natural Collection also have a range of bronzing pearl pots which I'm keen to try out, and as they're all under £2 I think I'll be able to give them a go soon!

It looks really similar to MAC's Harmony blush! I love hearing positive reviews on high street products. Proof that you don't need a massive budget to create a great long lasting makeup look
