ColourPop La Jolla Cove Bronze Stix ($10.00 for 0.28 ounces) is a light to medium brown with moderate, warm undertones — not too yellow, not too red — paired with a natural finish that’s more like a “skin-like” matte finish.

formula overview
$10.00/0.28oz. – $35.71 per ounce
The formula is said to be “super buildable” and “blendable” and “doesn’t interfere with your makeup underneath.” It’s also said to have a “natural-looking matte finish.”
The texture was light and creamy without being too heavy or too smooth, making the product easy to apply to bare skin or over foundation. It glides evenly over the skin and blends easily without lifting the base products. I had no problems with any of the shades I tested with my fingertips or a synthetic brush.
The pigmentation was medium to semi-opaque and buildable; Due to the emollient consistency, it was naturally prone to fraying, so it definitely had to be layered for more complete coverage (like on the market). The formula did dry out someone, but it was never completely dry and didn’t feel sticky to the touch.
All six shades lasted me between eight and nine hours before showing any signs of fading. However, the color palette could be better.
