Who doesn’t want a nice tan in the middle of the summer? I love the glow that bronzers give to the face and also the definition from contouring! Up next in my review is the Stila Stay All Day Contouring Bronzer.
Basics
Name: Stila Stay All Day Contouring Bronzer in Light
Shade: 3 shades. I have Light
Price: $47
Amount of Product: 15g
Availability: At Sephora and Stila Online
Packaging: The product comes in a pretty simplistic packaging in a square golden plastic casing. One awesome feature is the full size mirror on the inside. I love how the packaging snaps really satisfyingly. The actual product has a sunburst pattern which is quite neat.
Color: The product is completely matte and meant to be a contour for the face or the body. The product is a massive 15g and would really last you years! The color is only just slightly darker than my skin tone so this would be great for lighter skinned girls.
Formula: I really enjoy the feel of the bronzer. The powder is soft and velvety. The product applies quite naturally, although when I use a dense brush, I can usually see a nice contour. I’m not sure how long it actually lasts for as it’s hard to pick out, but I’d say around 6 hours is a good guess.
Only a tad darker than my skin.

I also put on a touch of blush and highlighter but I think you can also see the difference contouring made. I think the shade of this is just right for me to do a natural contour without fear of being too heavy handed. If you are darker, try the medium or the dark shades.

It’s a pretty simple, unfussy contouring bronzer. It’s fantastic value for the size especially if you want to use it on your body. However, it’s not revolutionary and if you already have a bronzer that you like for contouring, I wouldn’t say this is better.
If you are looking to try some products from Stila, I’d highly recommend the Huge Extreme Lash Mascara, Perfectly Poreless Putty Perfector, and the Perfect Me Perfect Hue palette. All three products are some of my long time favorites!
