![]() ![]() The bronzer almost felt like a gentle serum, melting and softening once it met the warmth of my skin. I wish I had tried a darker pigment because the sheer cream looks darker in its compact than on my skin, but it was easy to build up when I took the time to apply more layers. What it’s like to use it: I tested the shade “Sun Coast,” which is described as a “light bronze,” but it appeared more like a warm coppery shade on my medium-beige skin tone. It’s available in five colors ranging from light to deep bronze, and like BeachPlease, you can apply Bronzino on the eyelids, lips, and cheeks. Bronzino has ingredients like mango butter and green tea extract to help skin stay moisturized. What it claims: Tower 28’s cream bronzer claims to blend with ease and impart a glowy finish. The bronzer almost feels like a gentle serum. And for those wondering, they don’t taste like anything when you inevitably lick your lips. Each gloss fades over the span of an hour, so you’ll want to apply often if you want to keep the shine. I can see the glossy finish, but it doesn’t feel gooey or sticky. The glosses are lightweight, smooth, and shiny. Both shades I tried look lighter once I apply them to my medium-pink-colored lips: “Fire” looks more coral than bright red-orange and “Coconut” is close to my natural lip color. The lip jellies are a makeup essential in my purse now. What it’s like to use it: I wasn’t a lip gloss girl prior to trying these, but consider me influenced. The brand says all glosses can be worn solo or on top of other shades or lipsticks. All Tower 28 lip jellies are nut-free despite some of their shade names, which reference types of non-dairy milk. These come in five shades: “Pistachio” (nude pink), “Coconut” (rosy pink), “Cashew” (rosy brown), “Oat” (peachy pink), and “Almond” (milky chocolate). ShineOn is available in seven shades: “Wild” (sheer-ish raspberry), “Xoxo” (sheer pink), “Fire” (sheer orange), “Fear Less” (sheer berry), “Chill” (clear), “Spicy” (sheer-ish red), and “Magic” (clear gloss with gold shimmer).Ĭompared to the ShineOns, the Milky Lip Jellies are more muted and have slightly more opaque finishes. ShineOn’s formula is part gloss, part balm, and part lipstick, making for a lip product that claims to be shiny, moisturizing, and colorful, but not sticky. What it claims: Tower 28 has two lip glosses, lip jellies to be exact. The brand says all of its jellies can be worn solo or on top of other shades or lipsticks. I didn’t notice any changes to my skin’s hydration or appearance beyond the color, but this is a shade I’ll cherish in the warm weather for its fiery appearance. Rubbing a balm like this into my skin can irritate it, but this didn’t make my skin flare up in any way, even after wearing it all day. I love the rosy glow it gave my cheeks without making me look overly flushed, and I even used it as a bold eyeshadow shade one evening. The cream appeared super pigmented after I swiped it onto my cheek, but it looked well-blended once I used my fingers to dab it into my skin. What it’s like to use it: I tried this tinted balm in the shade “Golden Hour,” which looks coral in the container but is more red-orange upon application. The brand gives easy instructions for the balm: Just tap it onto skin and blend. It’s available in six blush colors: “Magic Hour” (rosy nude), “Golden Hour” (orange), “Happy Hour” (coral pink), “Rush Hour” (peach), “Power Hour” (terracotta), and “After Hours” (berry). It contains green tea extract and aloe vera extract, which claim to soothe skin every time you wear it. What it claims: The Luminous Tinted Balm is a multipurpose cream that can be applied with your fingers or a makeup sponge or brush, depending on preference, and you can layer it to add the amount of color you’d like. ![]() Luminous Tinted Balm is available in six blush colors, including Magic Hour. I won’t spoil my results, but let’s just say I wound up feeling more confident with makeup than ever. I tested seven of Tower 28’s bestsellers to see how the colors paired with my skin tone and texture, how the formulas wore over time, and how they felt and looked on my skin throughout several hours of wear. You can find Tower 28 products on the brand’s website, on Sephora, or on Credo Beauty, and prices range from $12 for a mini facial spray to $34 for a facial serum. The results of these efforts should be lightweight products that wear well and won’t cause damage or breakouts on the skin. All Tower 28 items also claim to be hypo-allergenic, dermatologist-tested, vegan, and fragrance- and gluten-free. The brand’s site lists ingredients it deems potentially irritating and refuses to use in products. Named after a lifeguard tower on the West Coast, Tower 28 describes itself as a “clean” makeup brand made for all types of skin. ![]()
