The winter months often have my skin quite light in comparison to what shade I am during the summer months so bronzer tends to be my best friend, year round – but certainly during Spring. I have never been a fan of shimmery bronzers and while I do use them, I find that it just draws too much attention to the places I really don’t want to have seen. My ideal bronzer would be one that blends well, matches my skin and is obviously matte, and while I have found some that I love, I find that this particular bronzer is one I pull for often. Last year one of my favorite drug store companies released a matte bronzer and today I share the NYX Matte Bronzer with all of you.
Reasonably and drugstore priced, the NYX Matte Bronzer retails for $9.00 on their website and in various stores like Target and Ulta. These compacts come in five shades (Light, Deep, Medium, Dark Tan and Deep Tan). While I do not particularly think these shades would be great for those with really fare skin, I find that the color choices are really nice for those with my skin tone or darker.
Each bronzer has a Net Wt. 0.33 oz 9.5g and in my opinion – that is a lot of product for the price. This bronzer is completely matte and very pigmented. I not only use a light hand when applying it, but I must also ensure that I tap the excess off of my brush prior to applying as it can offer a very dramatic contour. I own the color in Deep – which is a cool brown shade that still lends for a warm tone, which I like. It lasts for several hours when applied directly to my skin and I do not notice any oxidizing, which is a big deal since many matte bronzers can do this on my skin.
Packaging is great – easy for travel and sturdy. I have dropped my bronzer many times and it hasn’t cracked, chipped or shattered on me yet. The compact itself also has a built in mirror which I think is great for traveling and taking with you though I do not think touch-ups are needed. This bronzer has a soft, buttery like texture which I love, without out the dust that can often come with it. I have applied with contour brushes and fluffy brushes and find that it blends out without issue and offers you a subtle or dramatic bronze and contour effect. This product has easily become a favorite and go-to and I find I pull for it much more than my high end brands.
Whether you are looking for a subtle bronze, contour or dramatic definition I think anyone would enjoy using this product. It’s affordable, which is a huge deal for me and it does the job of those that I have paid twice the price for. This matte bronzer from NYX is one of those that I definitely recommend if you can find the shade that fits you best. Unfortunately – my biggest con is that this is not available for all skin tones and I know my light Snow White skinned loves will probably not find a shade that will work for them. But I definitely suggest giving it a run and see for yourself. You can purchase this bronzer and more at nyxcosmetics.com or at your local Ulta or Target stores.
Have you tried the NYX Matte Bronzer? If so – what shade do you use and if not, is it something you would try?

I think I have this in my pile of need to try items! I need to get it out now and play!
This is gorgeous! So natural looking.
Great bronzer. I love your makeup on this post
I’m not a bronzer person but this looks very natural on you.
Right now I’m obsessed with my NARS Laguna bronzer, but I’m definitely in the market for a cheaper drugstore option. This would most likely work on my summer color, so I’ll be sure to check out out!
It looks perfect on you!
I prefer matte bronzers as well. I like Laguna, Bourjois Delice de Soleil and Too Faced Chocolate Soleil but this looks like a value-for-money, perfect matte option. Love the glow on you.
This is so perfect on you! I love it!
Love a good matte bronzer!
I don’t like shimmer bronzers either. This looks great for the price, and you look so dang pretty!
This shade is goddess material for you. I checked out the NYX bronzers but the tones don’t jive with my skin. I wish that one had, as I love the price point and the powders have a lovely texture. 😀
I like these bronzers and I love them for my skin in the summer. The price of NYX is always awesome, too!
I’ve never tried these bronzers before, but i love NYX. I have so many of their products in my MUA kit!
I love NYX, but probably won’t be picking this up because I’m pale! lol. Looks gorgeous on you, though.
I love how it looks on you! It’s such a great shade of bronzer! 🙂
Looks fabulous on you!
This looks so great on you!
This looks like a nice bronzer! I’ve been happy with NYX products lately!
I have ghostly pale skin, so now I’m tempted to see if the shades would work on me or not 😉
