Today I'm going to compare two of my favorite vegan and cruelty-free Bronzers. It was hard for me to choose between them as I love them Kosas and Lilah B. bronzers for different reasons so let's see which one fits your preferences more.

PACKAGING: 

The Kosas bronzer came in a big sturdy frosty plastic packaging which I personally love as it is quite unique and it’s green.

Lilah B. duo bronzer packaging, on the other hand, is very unique and it’s like you are holding a pebble in your hand, it’s heavy, sleek, and classy at the same time. You have to slide to open it while the Kosas one is simple compact in that terms. Lilah B.'s logo is already removing from the case btw which I think they need to fix.


PRODUCT QUANTITY: 


If you talk about overall packaging including weight, the Lilah B. one is way heavy as it is like a real pebble. You get 9g of product in Lilah b.  Bronzed beauty bronzer duo and Kosas the sun show bronzer contains 6 g of product.


 TRAVEL FRIENDLY


Both packagings have their cons honestly, the Kosas one has bulky packaging but it is lightweight. The Lilah B. bronzer case is sleek but heavy as well so it’s on one which one you personally like to travel with both, depends on my preference at the time. 


SHADE RANGE:


The Kosas bronzer came in 3 different shades light, medium and deep. I choose the medium which goes perfect with the light-medium to medium skin tone really well. The Medium is perfect for the medium tone and looks like a natural tan with a glow.


Lilah B. Bronzer on the other hand came in one compact in duo form in which you get light and medium tone so basically, this duo is perfect for light to light-medium skin tone, a medium tone may pull it off but they don’t have an option for deeper skin tones for now sadly, hopefully, they will introduce them in future. The bronzer in the shade B. sun-kissed. The Duo perfect works when I swirled the brush in the pan to get the perfect natural-looking bronzer. Both shades in the duo are really beautiful and natural-looking, they don’t much less mute than the Kosas bronzer.

SCENT AND LONGEVITY:

The Kosas bronzer has a shea butter scent to it which you can smell a little when you open the case.

I haven’t noticed any kind of scent from the Lilah B. bronzer. Both bronzers last a day long and become more natural throughout the day.


TEXTURE AND FORMULATION:

The texture and the formulation of the Lilah B. one is more finely milled than the Kosas bronzer. The shimmer particles of the Lilah b. are way too small so they are not much visible but give a nice glow while Kosas have much bigger shimmer particles which I personally don’t like but one application they are not that visible nor do them emphasize the texture of the skin much so I like them both. The Kosas one is baked bronzer and has no fall out while the Lilah Beauty bronzer will have a very little amount of fallout with some brushes. If you have skin texture problems like acne scarring or pores I will recommend the Lilah B. one as the shimmer can make things work, formation wise both are great btw.


PRICE RANGE

The Kosas Sun Show Moisturizing Baked Bronzer retails for 34 dollars is available at their official site, Sephora ,and Credobeauty . The Lilah B. Bronzer Duo retails for 42 dollars and is available at their official site, Sephora, and Feelunique.


SWATCHES



You can use both bronzers as the eye shadow but you can create a more defined look with the Lilah b. as it has 2 shades. Overall both bronzers are amazing I will say go for Kosas Bronzer if you want more shade options and don’t like Talc in your products and if you think Lilah B. covers your skin tone for bronzer the formulation of Lilah B. Duo Bronzer is a little better as glow is more natural as they don’t have an obvious shimmer to it but sadly you don’t have shade option.
