Wet ‘n’ Wild You’re Dragon Me Down Color Icon Bronzer Review & Swatches (Temptalia)

You're Dragon Me Down

Wet ‘n’ Wild You’re Dragon Me Down Color Icon Bronzer ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with strong, warm yellow undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color payoff in a single layer, while the texture was dense, smooth to the touch, and almost felt like a powdery cream texture to me. The denser texture required a denser brush to pick up product evenly and also to disperse and blend out the bronzer on my skin. It didn’t take too much effort to even out and diffuse the edges, but it was less workable if I applied it over foundation that wasn’t matte or mostly dried down. Most powders do just fine that way but I’ve seen some that are more reactive, and the latter works better over just-powdered or matte skin. This shade lasted for eight hours on me before it started to fade.

Formula Overview

$4.99/0.19 oz. - $26.26 Per Ounce

The formula was more like a cream-powder hybrid, as the powder had a lot of slip and felt very smooth to the touch without being powdery, and it was on the denser side. It applied best with a circular, small-to-medium buffer brush or an otherwise moderately dense brush as it picked up product more evenly and dispersed it well. The product had medium to opaque coverage, depending on the shade, but they were buildable if they were not opaque in one layer. They blended out fairly well, but they can be tricky to blend over damp foundation--they seemed more reactive to residual moisture/oiliness on the skin compared to the average powder bronzer. I'd recommend lightly dusting translucent powder over your complexion products if they do not dry down to a semi-matte or matte finish.
