Summer Fridays launched a new cream bronzer called the Bronzer Butter Balm ($27.20 each, six shades) along with a Bronzer Brush ($28).
If you like a dewy cream bronzer, I think you’ll really like the Summer Fridays Bronzer Butter Balms. Cream bronzers can have a hit or miss effect on my skin, especially with the heat and humidity in Miami, but I put this one to the test and I really like this one! They are dewy, but they are not too emollient/shiny.
If you like the Sarah Creal Just Like Paradise Bronzers, I think you’ll love the ones from Summer Fridays too. Sarah Creal’s are slightly more dewy, but in terms of texture and pigment they are very close to me.
Of all six colors, I think Clay and Desert are the best for my skin tone. I like my bronzers a bit warmer, as cool/neutral colors tend to draw gray on me. I shared one demo of both shades here. Clay is slightly more golden brown, while Desert is a bit more red.
Based on your feedback, many of you seem to be drawn to Dune, which has more of a neutral/cool tone. I think the lightest shade they made is really interesting! I think if you struggle to find bronzers that are light enough in color, this particular one might work for you!
The angled Bronzer Brush is very well made. I like the minimalist design and the density is perfect. It is also very soft and supple. The brush blends the product perfectly on the skin. I also really love the Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush, Hourglass Brush No 15, Fenty 195 and Laura Mercier Cheek Brush.
The lasting power of the bronzers seems to be reasonable for the temperature at the moment. I haven’t done an extensive outdoor wear test, but indoors the durability is pretty good. Since it’s a cream, it does look a little more dewy after 3-4 hours, but so far it’s still holding up pretty well.
In short, love. If you have oily skin or need something that will last longer, I would opt for the Dior Forever Skin Bronzing Balm Stick or Westman Atelier Sun Tone Crème Duos as they have a more satin finish and last longer.
The Summer Fridays Bronzer Butter Balms are available now. Available at Sephora, Revolve and Summer Fridays.
