I’ve tried applying the XX Revolution Bronze Skin Cream Bronzer with a BeautyBlender, my fingertips, the Zoeva Face Shape Brush and the Zoeva 125 Stippling Brush, and without a doubt, the best brush for application and blending is a stippling brush. Cream bronzers aren’t my favourite, as I never found a formula I really enjoyed, but I love this XX Revolution formula, and if you’ve never tried a cream bronzer before, this would be the perfect starting point, as you really can’t go wrong. If this applies to you also then it may be best avoided and you could try one of the Chanel dupes below instead. So once I finally got some product on the skin, it does blend out really nicely and almost feels like a powder cream hybrid. It’s not creamy or glowy as I usually like my base products to be, this one definitely has a matte finish. There are of course pros and cons for glowy or matte products, one being staying power on the skin. This one does not budge, even on hot days under a mask it lasts incredibly and also layers well under other cream or powder products such as blush or highlight.

In addition the Nudestix Nudies Bronze, for example, also comes with a brush on the other end which makes it great for travel.

The XX Revolution Bronze Skin Cream Bronzer is available in 3 shades; Inspire (light), Candid (medium) and Agenda (deep). I chose the lightest shade which is Inspire, and it’s an orange toned cream bronzer with a completely matte finish. This must-have bronze range has added Vit C, Niacinamide and Tropical Papaya Extracts to give your skin that radiant boost. The Chanel bronzer is a solid cream product in a jar. It currently comes in three different shades. If the shades don’t suit you then it’s definitely worth exploring some of the alternatives below. What is the Chanel bronzer dupe?

Even when it was reformulated at the same time as the name change, which included the addition of hydrogenated coconut oil for a smoother and more emollient base, the product still has many a beauty fan raving about it.Being a cream bronzer, it works very well on bare skin as well as over foundation. Is the Chanel Bronzing Cream worth it? Also don’t miss these dupes for NARS Orgasm blush and the Fenty Gloss Bomb dupes as well as the MAC Paint Pot dupe list and the Flawless Filter dupe list. However, a lot of people have had an issue with the new ingredient of coconut oil which Chanel has recently added to the formulation.

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer is another great choice that gives the same effect as Chanel and comes in multiple shades. The jar feels very heavy, and under the lid, the jar had an air tight seal over the top, and under the seal, there’s a secondary lid, to keep the cream bronzer air tight. It’s the XX Revolution summer collection, and the XX Revolution Bronze Skin Cream Bronzer instantly caught my eye as being a potential dupe for a couple of high-end products. If you have oily skin, and think there’s a shade that will work for you, I think it would be worth a go. However I have very dry skin and the shades didn’t really work for my skin tone so I wouldn’t recommend. I’ll definitely continue to use the pot I have, but I wont be repurchasing when I run out. The product should work in theory, a firmer cream bronze in a warmer shade (rather than the contour shades I have in the ELF and Collection ones) but it just doesn’t work all that well in practice. I’d definitely try other cream products from XX Revolution if they brought more out, but this one is a fail for me. Another good thing about trying a dupe is that, even though Chanel has tried to be more inclusive by introducing different shades to its bronzer range, the new shades still don’t work for many people.

Below is a long list of cream products which can be used in the same way as either the original Soleil Tan de Chanel or the new reformulated Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream. Delivery is on a selected date, you can choose a delivery day of your choice, up to 10 days in advance (Excluding next day delivery. Postcode restrictions apply) It takes literally seconds to buff into the skin, and it looks amazing both on bare skin, or over the top of foundation too. I am so impressed with this product, and as the jar is so huge, you could use it on the body too. It’s usually applied with a kabuki brush and can be used as both a bronzer and a contour, depending on your skin tone. You can find more suitable shades for your skin tone if you look to other brands, and can also save yourself some serious cash in the meantime.
