Hello
there lovely readers!
Now
this post is way overdue & I'm annoyed with myself that its taken
me so long to blog about this brand, one that many I'm sure are
unaware of, because basically you NEED to know about them beauts! So
here's me rectifying this & you can thank me later.
Kco
Cosmetics is the creator of the Natural Glow Original Compact powder which has
now become my HG contour/bronzing powder as it has literally blown
ALL others out the water.
I
first came across Kco Cosmetics at a beauty show a while back, I'm
actually talking a good few years! I stopped by the stand as I'd
never heard of them & naturally the blogger in me is always
intrigued with newbies in the makeup world.
It
was there that I was introduced to their signature product, the
Natural Glow Compact. This face powder promises an instant healthy
gorgeous glow to your skin, adding warmth & covering blemishes.
Now
I confess this is where I get a teeny bit miffed with the products
main concept, as you can probably see looking at my pics here, its
clear that the Natural Glow is a bronzing powder of sorts mostly...to
me anyway, however I've heard (& looking at some reviews too)
that it can also be used as a face powder, in place of
foundation as well? Perhaps that may be the case by using a lighter
touch with a kabuki face brush to give an all over glow without
looking like you've been tangoed.
I
know for certain that this would be way too dark for me to do that &
unfortunately on the website there are no swatches, which is a bit of
a downside as clearly you will want to see what you are
buying...hence why I've done my best to swatch for you here. There
also doesn't seem to be much information on the origins of the brand
either on the site, disappointing as I always love to read up on how
a brand came about...hopefully they will rectify this too.
The
formula of the Natural Glow Powder is amazing & what makes it now
my favorite bronzer of ALL TIME. I have never come across a powder
that not only blends SO perfectly on to the cheekbones, but also
defines them, contouring so beautifully & leaves your makeup with
the most glorious warm & healthy finish. No muddy patches here!
There is a very slight element of shimmer in the Natural Glow
Powder, however this doesn't transfer on to the skin leaving you
looking like a vampire out of Twilight at all! In fact, I may be in
the minority here, but I've always been more fond of bronzers which
have a touch of shimmer in them, Barry M Natural Dazzle was my first
bronzer LOVE & still is...or 2nd love now next to the Natural
Glow!
I
use an angled brush to apply the powder under my cheekbones to define
& add warmth, as well as along my jawline, forehead &
anywhere else I want to add a touch of glow! If I use another bronzer
then I always find myself reaching for this still & using my ELF
contouring brush, tap along the cheekbone for added definition.
I've
almost hit pan on my current compact it has gotten that much usage
but the beauty of this product is that a little goes a long way, it
is very pigmented & you only need to touch your brush to the pan
to pick up enough product to sweep along your jawline, cheekbones etc
& I've had mine for ages! But I know for certain that I will be
repurchasing the Natural Glow powder till the end of time.
Unfortunately though it seems the brand is only available online via
their website....they NEED to expand out!
The
Natural Glow Powder is £24.99 & worth every penny in my opinion,
try it & see for yourself my beauts. I've also recently been
using the Blonde Terracotta bake highlighting powder* which
has....like the Natural Glow, SERIOUSLY impressed me. But seeing as
I've gone on quite a bit already, I'll share the Terracotta Bakes
delights with you in another post & babes...if you have a soft
spot for highlighters then you will LOVE THIS, so stay tuned!
Lotsa
love to ya!
