Estée Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelée Bronze Goddess 02 Solar Crush is a 9 g powder created to add a luminous, sun-kissed glow to the face. The product has a lightweight, gelée-like texture in a powder format that smooths on as a soft sheen and can be built up to a luminous pearl highlight for cheekbones and other high points of the face.
Advantages
The formula delivers a lightweight, blendable finish that mimics a natural bronzed radiance while providing a soft, pearlescent highlight. Its gelée-inspired texture applies evenly, resists looking cakey, and is suitable for layering to increase intensity without losing luminosity.
Suitable for
- Adding a subtle bronzed glow to the complexion
- Highlighting cheekbones, brow bone and bridge of the nose
- Creating a sun-kissed or summer makeup look
- Everyday use when a lightweight luminous finish is desired
When it may not be suitable
This product may not be ideal for those who prefer matte finishes or full-coverage, heavy bronzers. Very deep skin tones may need to test the shade in person to confirm the desired level of bronzing and highlight, as lighter bronzer shades can be less visible on deeper complexions.
Key specifications

- Net weight: 9 g

How to use
Apply with a brush or sponge to areas you want to warm and highlight, such as the cheekbones, forehead, nose bridge and chin. Sweep lightly for a subtle glow or layer the product to intensify the pearlescent highlight. Blend well to avoid harsh edges and to maintain a natural finish.
What to consider before purchase
- Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and the level of bronzing you want
- Consider whether you prefer a luminous versus matte finish
- Test on skin if you have very deep or very fair complexion to ensure desired visibility
Usage recommendations
For a natural sun-kissed effect, apply sparingly to the high points of the face and blend outward; layer gradually until you achieve the preferred intensity.
