Do you remember back in 2006 when Estée Lauder collaborated with Tom Ford on a makeup line? With the marriage of the two forces they created a complete frenzy with the limited edition bronzed line called Amber Nude. It sold out everywhere almost instantly. I was lucky enough to get a lipstick in Spiced Amber – that was about all that was left that I could find. I’m sure the line went for premium prices on eBay, because the packaging alone was something to be desired.
This line really captivated our awareness of how beautiful and sexy bronzers could make us look, without damaging our skin in the sun or without using self-tanners. After this line came out, it made every makeup company take notice.
Now Estée Lauder’s Bronze Goddess line continues its swoon-worthiness as before.
The bronzers are available in a few different formulations – Soft Matte, Soft Shimmer, Soft Duo (2 shades in one), and SunBlush Illuminator. Oil free and made with an oil-control complex to give you a nice, natural bronzed look.
There are other products available in the line such as lip colors, and a nail color, a liquid bronzer and eye palette. Check for availability online and in store, because these are a hot ticket. Show off your safe bronzed sexiness for summer!
Oh my goodness, yes! I was so taken with the Tom Ford collection, and even though I have to be careful with bronzers (they can make me look muddy), I loved the collection! I found an unused “lip tint balm” in my stash the other day, and I seem to remember buying it in the same time frame. It has not suffered any of the ravages of time (looks good, smells good), so I will be using Berry over the next month. And I did buy a few pieces from the new collection – very nice!
