Is Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer The Best Drugstore Cream Bronzer?

Meet Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer.

The same bouncy, cream to powder formula we all know and love finally comes in a bronzer formula. Meet Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer, an extension of the cult fave Super Shock lineup. I’m a bronzer fiend. I love warming up my complexion for a sun kissed glow, and strive for that just-got-back-from-the-beach bronze. There’s many cream bronzers I love in my collection, but this one has made its way to the top of the pyramid.

Promises vs. Performance: Is it ‘the ultimate beachy summer glow’ as claimed?

Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer has the same bouncy texture that the brand is known for. It promises a creamy, buildable formula that provides natural warmth and dimension. The 6 shades come are a range of neutral, golden, and rich undertones to ensure no orangey-ness. It’s soft matte, cream to powder finish is perfect for achieving a bronze, sun kissed glow.

The texture, finish, and tone of this bronzer is an immediate 10/10 from me. Its formula is buildable without getting patchy or lifting makeup below, and it leaves behind a stunning soft matte, airbrushed finish. I’d recommend applying with a brush for best results, but a damp sponge would also work to apply more sheer. What I’m most impressed with about the Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer is its longevity. It easily wears for over 8 hours without fading or settling.

How It Compares: Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer is my new favorite at the drugstore.

Move over elf Putty Bronzer. I still love you, but there’s a new kid in town who is even better. Colourpop Super Shock Bronzer is easier to apply, more buildable, and longer wearing. The soft matte finish has a super skin like appearance on, and never looks muddy, orange, or cakey. At $9, this is a winning drugstore cream bronzer.
