i fully agree with your take on Tower 28's pr strategy and the product itself. i really like all the stuff i have from them, so this launch was just so bizarre to me. i haven't seen the sculptinos irl yet, but they ended up sending Broad to me so i guess i'll see how warm it really is when it gets here. and that video was a mess - she was basically demonstrating how bad of a contour it was while at the same time telling us our eyes weren't seeing what they were seeing. ridiculous. i'm just excited about the new shade of the Saie bronzer. it looks perfectttt for fair skin.

That Tower "contour" looks so warm and yellow! To me it's a real fail because of all the ways they marketed it, and personally, as a very pale cool-toned person I'm very tired of being told colors like this will work for my skin, because no. I haven't gotten it yet but I did go ahead and order the Jones Road bronzer in Dusty Rose because I have been looking for a color like that forever. I haven't had good luck with Jones Road so far, but the way you describe it make me think I will love it.

I will be picking up that Jones Road bronzer for sure! I had the bobbi brown version of this back when Bobbi was still part of that brand. So I'm so happy to see that she has come out with this type of product again! I also really want to try the kulfi blushes now! And please do the review on Gen See because I find that you have such a good way of describing products, that even if you say it didn't work for you, you go into detail about why, and that is so useful, and maybe that is something that will work for someone else.

I found with the rare beauty blushes if you use the smallest amount you can get the same blush colors as the Charlotte T blushes. Yes the Charlotte T blushes have twice the product. The rare beauty blushes are more pigmented so you don't need as much product. I feel like you would use them both up in about the same amount of time. It's just a theory that I haven't put to use yet .I feel like the Charlotte T blushes are over rated.

Re: T28 sculptino I think they should’ve worded things differently but were probably hesitant to come out with a second bronzer line for fear of confusion. But I honestly don’t care what word is printed on my product - I use them in whatever way works for me (in this case… just use as a bronzer). Similar could be said of BareMinerals Blonzers. Mine just looks like blush and nothing more, but that’s fine. At the end of the day they’re just a color and formula

When I'm doing someone's makeup I don't apply bronzer where I want to create shape, I apply bronzer where the sun would add color to the face. I will say that when someone is very warm there aren't a lot of contour products on the market that give a natural shadow because they tend to be too cool and there are products marketed as bronzer that work better for that because brands have been making bronzers with some cooler tones to them recently. I couldn't say whether the T28 product would be something I'd use on someone who is very fair and very warm without seeing the product in person but from what I can see in this video on you I would say no. It looks like it would look nice as a bronzer on someone who is fair and warm. Which seems to be peoples very understandable issue, they marketed a bronzer as a contour. But something I've noticed that I dont see many people talk about is that a lot of brands are very invested in influencer culture and influencers are very invested in their fake tan and no matter how people want to present it the majority of fake tan results lean toward unnatural hues and I see pretty clearly that some brands create shades for fake tan hues. Maybe thats part of the issue here?
