Deep
Vieve Deep Modern Bronzer Duo ($43.00 for 0.64 oz.) is the deepest duo of the brand’s bronzing powder range. Both shades were very pigmented where a little went quite a long way, while the left shade was blendable without issue, the right shade took a little more effort ot get an even, diffused application of product.

Deep (Left)
Deep (Left) is a rich, medium-dark brown with warm, reddish undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented where a little went a long way. The texture was fairly soft and blendable, though it was drier than I expected based on the brand’s description of the formula. I found the powder could get cakey in appearance when applied over a more medium-coverage foundation, which just isn’t something I’ve found to occur often with cheek powders for me. It lasted for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
–
The formula is supposed to offer a “foolproof” formula with a “finely milled, soft-satin finish.” The brand said that a “little goes a long way,” and the pigmentation was more intense, as marketed. The textures were soft, smooth, and a little drier (not quite powdery but not silky to the touch).
The bronzers applied fairly evenly to bare skin, blended out without too much effort, and did seem to sit on my skin better than the blush range (which this is supposed to be modeled after!). I think that they can look a little powdery when layered over more matte foundation, though, and are not the most seamless applied on my skin–something about the bronzer powder was a little heavy in look once applied and blended out.
The majority of shades lasted between seven and eight hours on me.

Deep (Right)
Deep (Right) is deep brown with subtle, warm red undertones and a matte finish. The texture was fairly smooth to the touch with a little bit of dryness but minimal powderiness, so it didn’t kick up a lot of excess product, which made it easier to use with a lighter hand (if desired). It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and spread out better than anticipated but may take a little extra effort to really diffuse. This shade showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.
