Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer Will Sculpt And Warm Your Complexion

Get sun kissed and sculpted with Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer.

Cream bronzer is one of the easiest ways to give your complexion some definition and warmth. Most can be used as a contour and bronzer in one, allowing you to skip a step in your makeup routine (who doesn’t love that?!). Plus, cream bronzers are perhaps the easiest formula to work with. Their creamy texture is easy to build to your desired intensity and many are foolproof. ABH Cream Bronzer is no different: creamy, buildable pigment for a sculpted, sun kissed complexion.

Promises vs. Performance: ABH Cream Bronzer has a great shade range, but do they work for all skin tones?

ABH calls their Cream Bronzer a “revolutionary new, weightless cream formula for sun-kissed skin.” Not only will it give a warm bronze glow, but it also adds contour and definition. This cream bronzer has a buildable and blendable formula for a mistake-proof application that gives a natural matte finish. It grips to skin with a flexible hold that doesn’t disrupt makeup underneath, promising to never look patchy, or streaky. The 10 shades also claim to stay color true, too, meaning they won’t oxidize when applied.

If you want a cream bronzer with a buttery soft texture, ABH has it. This cream bronzer melts into skin effortlessly and can be blended out using a brush, sponge, or fingers, without disrupting any makeup underneath. The formula is super pigmented, so start small and build to your desired bronze intensity. It gives a natural, soft matte finish that gives that just-got-back-from-the-beach look. ABH Cream Bronzer has a long wear that resists fading, settling, and accentuating texture/dryness.

The one thing I do want to mention about ABH Cream Bronzer is the shade range. While it does have one of the largest shade ranges amongst cream bronzers, the shades are a bit funky. I find they pull very olive, giving a sort of greenish hue on the skin. Even the lightest shade, Sun Kissed (said to be neutral undertones) is very warm. If you have olive skin, you will love this shade range!

How ABH Cream Bronzer Compares: Is it better than other cream bronzer formulas?

Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer and I have a complicated relationship. I love how pigmented the formula is, yet it is ultra creamy and blends out easily. The color stays put on my cheeks all day, and it doesn’t settle or accentuate texture. But, here’s the thing: the shades pull very olive toned. I have two shades of Cream Bronzer, Amber and Sun Kissed, and both appear to have a greenish tint when applied to my face. If you have olive skin, you’ll definitely want to give this bronzer a go!

One of my fave cream bronzers, which I have dubbed the industry standard, is Fenty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer. This one is more of a true cream-to-powder formula and is definitely more foolproof than ABH Cream Bronzer. It gives a glowy bronzed complexion for all day wear with its sweat and water resistant formula. Fenty is known for their inclusive shade ranges and this cream bronzer is no different with its 7 shades that are much more compatible with all skin undertones.

But, I’ve got to say: I love my cream bronzers and can’t get enough of them. I have added so many to my collection over the past year as brands continue to launch their own cream bronzer. And I truly believe cream bronzer is foolproof and easier to use than powder. The Milabu Team has put together a list of bronzers we love, including our favorite clean cream bronzer from Saie Beauty and our favorite makeup steal, e.l.f. Putty Bronzer.
