Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Capri: Illuminating Powder Gelée Swatch and Look

My sister Rebekah is gorgeous on any given day, but when I saw the look she created with the new Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Capri collection, I dove for my camera and made her pose for me. Because of her rich golden skin tone, Rebekah can pull of certain looks that would make me look like a member of the Oompa Loompa revival show. This collection is perfect for her, specifically the Illuminating Powder Gelée in Topaz Chameleon. 
Presently at The Bay, when you buy a piece of this collection you receive a gift with purchase: a makeup bag filled with an assortment of eye and lip products. The products inside of the bag are not really consistent with the quality of products in the permanent range, but the colours are very complimentary to this collection and have pretty good pay-off and lasting power. 

**All swatches below were taken in my arm, so pay off will differ for you golden and olive toned beauties. Close-ups of Rebekah's makeup look at the end. **

  5. @Shadowy Lady: Rebekah is NC30 in MAC, Sante Fe in Nars, and a 30 in Chanel. I think this would work on anyone over NC/NW20.
