"I have tried a lot of different contours, bronzers. This one has got me right now. I just love it. I love the shades that this comes in. And this shade is perfect. So many of them are so warm that they kind of look orange or they're so cool that they look gray. And this one is just the perfect shade. This shade is called Mellow. And it's not too dark, not too light. What I love about this is how easy it blends. You can't make a mistake with this."

"I really love the formula and I hate the color. It's so damn red. I [...] don't know if you're more neutral it'll work for you but I just, I can't use it. I think I'm just too green to be able to get away with it. [...] I want like a real contour because this is supposed to be a liquid contour. The packaging is [...] cute, I always love her packaging."

"I do really really like this product. And this shade still has a little bit of warmth to me on my skin, but it's nice and subtle and natural. That's what we like."

NEW RARE BEAUTY BRONZER SHADES ARE ... QUESTIONABLE?

UNBIASED HONEST REVIEW New Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Contour

"I will still use these to bronze. I love this bronze. [...] But in my contour shades, I don't want it to be able to double as a blusher. [...] On fairer skin tones, I would not use this as a contour because it does come out cool and light. [...] As I tan, [...] I will use them, [...] but contours, not so much. If they brought out some contour shades in this formula, I would love that. But I'm not a fan of what these products claim to be."

"The contour product that I've been basically exclusively using for the past couple of months is this one from Rare Beauty. This is their liquid contour. I have the lightest shade, called Gentle, and it's just great. This one is more cool toned than their others, but once it's applied for me, it actually applies pretty neutral. So I feel like it works as kind of like a sculpting bronzer. Some of the other shades I've heard people say lean much more bronzery, so just keep that in mind."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
