A couple years back, I ordered a few products from Miessence. I liked most of what I purchased, but the bronzing dust wasn’t a big hit. When I first tried it, I found it just made my face look dirty, so it’s ended up sitting unused in my makeup stash for all this time. Recently, I picked it up again and have been liking it a lot for contouring my cheekbones and around my temples.
The bronzing dust only comes in one colour, a medium tan shade, so being fair-skinned, I'm careful not to pick up too much product. If I apply more than a tiny bit, my face ends up looking muddy. Still, with a very light hand, I think it works well as a contour colour. Because there is only one shade, this isn't a product that will work for all skin tones.
It's also lightly scented with rose essential oil. The scent is noticeable when I first apply it, but it doesn't linger at all. Miessence advertises the bronzing dust as containing "a touch of shimmer," which I can see in the jar, and when I swatch it heavily, but on my face, the shimmer isn't visible at all. I'd go so far as to say this looks like a matte bronzer on my face.

Would I repurchase?
Probably not. With how little of this I've been applying, I think it’s going to take years, literally, to use this product up, but when I do, I'll likely look for a more inexpensive bronzer to replace it. Miessence’s Bronzing Dust retails for $31.77 for 10 grams net weight, which is a good bit pricier than those sold by many indie makeup companies. Quality-wise, I do like the product, but I don't think it would be too difficult to find a comparable bronzer for less money. I'm also not sure this is the perfect shade for me - more colour choices would definitely be a big plus.
