theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer

Perfect for my small travel makeup bag! This is about the size of a large pack of matches and is a great color for my fair/light skin tone. Easy to build if you need a darker tone.

Have LOVED this for YEARS ! Miss the brush that used to come with it

Love this stuff I got the travel size it’s lasted me good amount of time so far I still have a bit left is definitely worth the price feels and looks like a high end product when on

I love this. I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a truly matte bronzer. Most have at least a tiny bit of shimmer which I hate. They don't look natural or beautiful on light skin. A lot of makeup artists say that a shimmery bronzer is great on people with deep skin tones. My skin tone is light-medium. The Balm seemed like a good one to try based on some YouTube reviews I watched. I am absolutely pleased with it. It's 100% matte, has a soft and creamy natural texture. It is a powder but it really melts into my liquid and cream foundations beautifully. It has good pigmentation, and a little bit of product goes a long way. This makes it easier to work with since you don't have to keep layering it. I find that products that aren't pigmented enough require a lot of layering which makes the product look caked on. It is VERY easy to blend. I love the shade most of all. It isn't too warm or cool. It isn't ashy. It's the perfect color for warming up your face. I use it in the hallow of my cheek, my temple, jawline, and hairline. Will continue to try out more products from The Balm. I also love the Hot Mama blush!

This bronzer is a nice neutral brown that is a little olive which would give you a very nice exotic, natural looking coloring. Most importantly it is completely matte so it is perfect for those like me with oily skin and for everyday daytime wear and natural looks. The size is decent and the packaging is very convenient and light for travel/on-the-go with a strong magnetic closure. I have pretty tan skin to begin with so it is so hard to find something I can contour my face with that isn't super expensive or shimmery/shiny or too orange but this definitely fits the bill. Although I've heard this might not work as well for the very pale skintones from a youtuber who suggested they use a very light hand to make it work, I think for medium to tan skin tones it is the perfect natural bronzer.

Bahama Mama is solid bronzer. This is my second time purchasing it and I am happy. It hits the sweet spot between pigmentation, blendability, and natural tone. If you're seeking a matte bronzer that works as contour, bronzer, and even eye color without any shimmer or orange cast, this is a solid pick. Just go easy if you're very fair, because the shade may be too intense for very fair/light skin if over-applied. I took a star because I find it less durable than traditional bronzers like Hoola.

This has been my faaaavorite since I heard about it! So easy to blend and build, love using it to blend my neck line as well. Sits well over all my water-based products and lasts all day!

This is my go to bronzer for my fair and neutral skin. It doesn’t break me out, the small size makes it easy for travel, and the cheap price can’t be beat. I feel like I can go light handed or easily build it up as needed and I love wearing it as a barely there eyeshadow.
