Hy-Gen Bronze Primer Serum - Bazni serum za lice

New daily addition

Received this complimentary to try and have to say I’ve been using it every day I wear makeup. I like to mix it into my sunscreen or liquid base makeup for my face. Pigmented but easily blends out and lightweight

Too dark and blotchy, when used alone.

I first tried the Hy-Gen Bronze Primer Serum as a serum, and I feel it it too dark for my medium cool skin tone. It also appears blotchy. I then tried it as a primer, still a bit blotchy. Then I mixed it with my tinted moisturizer and I have to say it gave me a nice summer kissed color. I received the product free from BzzAgent for my honest review.

Bronzing primer

I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. This lightweight primer serum that gives me a little sun kissed. It adds, moisture and hydrates my skin as a primer serum. It leaves my skin feeling moist. It has a nutrient rich functional ingredients . It balances excessive oil production and reduces shines in my tea zone. It reinforces the skin barrier to hold more water and it has a blend of hyaluronic acid 

This primer serum is absolutely incredible! It gives my skin a beautiful, natural bronze glow without looking orange at all. The texture is lightweight, deeply hydrating, and refreshes my face instantly. I love wearing it on its own for no-makeup days, or as a base under my foundation. Makeup applies flawlessly over it and stays put all day. It leaves my skin looking so healthy and radiant. Highly recommend!

Glow up!

I absolutely love the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Bronzer! The formula is incredibly blendable and works beautifully on my fair skin. I often mix a small amount with my SPF for an all-over healthy glow, or apply it strategically with foundation to add warmth and dimension. It feels light and moisturizing without being sticky. What I appreciate most is that it isn't sparkly or glittery, it simply gives the skin a natural, healthy-looking radiance. The finish is flattering, easy to wear, and never looks heavy or orange on my complexion. Thank you to Natasha Denona for providing this product complimentary for review. It's quickly become a favorite in my routine and I can't wait to try more products from this brand!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. The HyGen bronze primer is a nice, lightweight primer that gives your skin a little extra glow. My skin is fair with reddish tones. The primer serum is quite dark, so I was nervous at first when applying. It does not take much of this serum to cover your face. I was pleasantly surprised with the coverage and end result color that it left on my face. It blends well and actually hit my red undertones. It has a slight self tanning scent, but not bad at all. It did not leave my face “orange” like expected. Overall, I would recommend this product during the summer months for that fresh, tan look.

Gorgeous bronze and glow!

I tried this product a few different ways. First, I tried as a serum and bronzer applied with my finger tips. It blends well and gives a primer-smooth, gorgeous bronze glow! I absolutely love it for my summer look. You can use more or less drops depending on the amount of bronze you are looking for. My face stays rather pale during the summer time compared to my body so this let me match my face color to the rest of my tan with a glow at the same time. Next, I tried applying with a beauty blender/sponge. This wasn't ideal...not recommended to apply this way. Lastly, I applied this on a make up brush with a small amount of my normal foundation. My normal foundation color is too pale for me this summer but I still want the coverage and benefits so adding in the bronze drops not only got my face nice and bronzed but added that amazing glow!! This will be my summer go to as I am wearing less make up but living it up in the sun. Don't forget sunblock though because there is no SPF.

Sticky patchy mess

This product was too dark and very sticky. I waited 5 minutes before putting my skin tint and blush on top, and every time it created a patchy mess. Couldn’t make it work, had to remove my makeup each time.

Obsessed

Absolutely obsessed with this primer serum! It gives a gorgeous natural bronze glow, feels incredibly hydrating, and makes my skin look healthy and radiant. It works perfectly under makeup or on no-makeup days when I just want a fresh, sun-kissed look. A little goes a long way, and the finish is beautiful every time.

Wanted a Bronze Goddess Glow, Got the Sahara D

As a fair-skinned woman in my mid-40s, my relationship with the sun is basically: I don’t tan, I just collect freckles like Pokémon. So I was excited to try this bronze primer serum for a little healthy glow without risking becoming a human lobster. Unfortunately, this product and my dry skin were not a match made in heaven. I tried it both with and without moisturizer underneath, and either way it dried my skin out like the Sahara Desert. By the end of the day, every dry patch I didn’t know I had was suddenly introducing itself. The color was also a little off for me. Instead of developing into a nice bronzed glow, it oxidized slightly and pulled more orange than bronze. I was able to tone that down with foundation, so I could have lived with the color issue. The deal-breaker was the dryness. Because it left my skin so dehydrated, my makeup ended up looking cakey and emphasizing texture that normally isn’t noticeable. A glow product should make me look radiant, not like I’ve been wandering the desert searching for water. If you have very dry skin, especially mature skin, I’d proceed with caution. For me, the drying effect outweighed any bronzing benefits, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Will be part of my beauty routine

I’ve been using the Natasha Denona HY-GEN Bronze Energizing & Hydrating Primer Serum for a few weeks now, and honestly, it surprised me in a good way. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was just another “extra step” in my routine, but it actually feels like skincare and makeup prep in one. The texture is lightweight—more like a serum than a typical primer—and it absorbs quickly without leaving that silicone-heavy feeling some primers have. My skin tends to get a little dry, especially around my cheeks, and this gave me a nice hydrated, slightly glowy base without looking greasy. The bronze tint is very subtle. On my medium skin tone, it doesn’t look like makeup—it just gives a soft warmth and healthy glow, which I really like on no-makeup days. When I do wear foundation, it sits really nicely on top and doesn’t pill or separate. One thing I noticed is that my skin looks more “alive” throughout the day. It doesn’t cling to dry patches, and my makeup holds up better, especially in longer shifts. It’s not super mattifying, so if you’re oily, you might still need a setting powder—but for normal to dry skin, it’s really comfortable. The only downside for me is the price. It definitely feels like a luxury product, so I use it more intentionally rather than every single day. Overall, it’s one of those products that makes your skin look healthy and effortless—not overdone. If you like a natural, hydrated glow and want something that bridges skincare and makeup, it’s worth trying.

Not for me

I really wanted to love this product. I have fair, dry skin and like finding products that help give me a healthy glow. While advertised as being friendly for all skin tones, this is a very dark product and doesn't blend very evenly to look great on fair skin. Even with a small amount it just looks like I got a bad spray tan. I also didn't find the scent pleasant at all which is a deal breaker.
