Sisley Paris- Copper Touch

Sisley Copper Touch is a cream bronzer in a small (the size of an eye shadow) compact. It's part of a three color range that also includes two highlighters in white (Silver Touch) and pale gold (Golden Touch). I was intrigued by the concept, and since I have enough highlighters to cover an entire clan of Cullen vampires I chose the bronzer, Sisley Copper Touch.

I'm disappointed. Sisley product are usually made of awesome, but the waxy texture and visible particles (both pigment and shimmer) are not the stuff of dreams. The little sponge applicator is the most useless tool you can imagine. This bronzer should be applied with fingers or with a small and dense flat top brush that can buff the product into the skin. On the plus side, the pigmentation level is very good, so you only need a little dab, and the bronzer can be sheered nicely into a summery looking tan. Good blending is a must because otherwise the particles will make you look muddy.

Since Copper Touch is quite shimmery you should only apply it where shimmer is acceptable, such as the top of the cheekbones. I'd say it combines a highlighter and a bronzer, so have that in mind. It can work on a summer night, I guess, and have tropical vacation feel. The small size makes it a good travel companion, so maybe that's what the good people at Sisley had in mind. But Copper Touch is not an everyday product, and   there are better multitaskers out there that can give you a similar look.

Bottom Line: meh.

Sisley Paris- Copper Touch ($42) is available from select department stores.
