Too Faced Peaches and Cream: Sweetie Pie Radiant Matte Bronzer

A couple weeks ago, Too Faced released their much-anticipated Peaches and Cream collection, which was created exclusively for Sephora. Peaches and Cream sees the release of 11 different formulas for face, eyes, and lips, including one new and permanent powder bronzer called Sweetie Pie. It is infused with "refreshing peaches and sweet fig cream — ingredients known for their hydrating and antioxidant-rich benefits — to help keep skin moisturized, comfortable, and beautifully matte." Sweetie Pie is described as "a radiance-boosting bronzer" that "features four blendable shades that combine to define, highlight and sculpt for a radiant complexion boosting finish that's the perfect recipe for a soft and flawless look."

Like its name implies, Sweetie Pie is meant to mimic a pie, and features a lattice design in three radiant shades (Caramelized Peach, Golden Peach, and Bronzed Peach) with a golden overlay and a fourth shade (Candied Peach) in a satin coral pink. It has a light peach scent that does not linger after application. (Compared to the scent of the Sweet Peach collection products, the scent in Sweetie Pie is softer and more muted — imagine peach Hi-Chew rather than Fuzzy Peaches.) It is housed in a round mirrored compact with gold trim. The lid features a peach-to-cream ombré background with the name of the product in the middle of a peach outline in reflective gold. Each Sweetie Pie bronzer contains 13.5 grams of product and retails for $38 at Sephora (both in stores and online) as well as on Too Faced's website.

Sweetie Pie features four separate shades: a light beige-brown (Caramelized Peach), a medium golden tan (Golden Peach), a medium-dark bronze tan (Bronzed Peach), and a coral pink (Candied Peach). There is a gold overlay on top of the lattice shades that will fade away with use. When swirled together, the shades create a medium warm peachy tan brown with a soft sheen in a satin finish. This is a new and permanent product. It has a lightweight, silky texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is cooler and less golden than Too Faced Sweet Peach Glow Bronzer, darker than MAC Golden Bronzing Powder, lighter and more brown than MAC Bronze Bronzing Powder, more brown than MAC Warm Soul Mineralize Blush, warmer and more peachy than Hourglass Diffused Bronze Light, slightly darker and rosier than Hourglass Brilliant Nude, more muted and more shimmery than Urban Decay Sun-Kissed, and darker than Clinique Nude Pop.

This might be the cutest bronzer I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, Too Faced pretty much reigns the prestige makeup category for cute packaging, but this is freaking adorable. And thankfully, it's not just nice to look at. The powder is soft and silky with incredible pigmentation that is easy to blend out and layer up. There is a gold overspray that gives the initial few applications a more pearlized finish, but Sweetie Pie has a satin finish overall — it gives off a soft, diffused sheen but it's not shimmery. On that note, this is not a bronzer for contouring; it's a hybrid between a bronzer and a blush so that it can be used on the cheeks for a pop of colour or a sheer wash all over for adding warmth. This is actually a great option for those who don't like blush (as much as I am a blush fiend, I actually know more people who don't like wearing blush but will wear bronzer) but still want that dimension and warmth and glow to their skin. It's the gateway into blush, if you will. As the shade itself is relatively light for a bronzer, Sweetie Pie will work best on fair to medium-dark skintones for the purpose of blush/bronzer. This can work as an all-over radiance-boosting powder on medium-deep to dark skintones, but those with deep-dark skintones might see this turning ashy.
