Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil VS Tarte Park Ave Princess

Bronzer Comparison 

Today I decided to do a comparison between Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer and Tarte's Park Ave Princess Bronzer. Too faced Milk Chocolate Soleil is described as a Light/Medium Matte Bronzer. Tarte Park Ave Princess is described as Matte bronze.

 Down below Milk Chocolate Soleil is shown on the left and Park Ave Princess is on the right.

As you can see the two are very similar in colour. When put next to each other. Both are a matte brown. I will be very clear they do not show any sort of shine on application.

Here are photos of the bronzers separate:
(I do apologize I have Tartes Park Ave Princess in the power couple duo palette so a small amount of the blush is shown in photos.

The Milk Chocolate Soleil appears to be lighter then Park Ave Princess but upon application I personally find that Park Ave Princess goes on lighter.

When swatched the Park Ave Princess looks more orangy and I have heard this before but I personally don't feel like when it is applied it has any orange tint to it at all. They are both a very nice texture I can't even give a comparison to texture because they are so similar. Too Faced is 0.35 oz and Tarte is 0.32 oz. Milk Chocolate Soleil retails for $38.00 at Sephora and Park Ave Princess retails for $36.00 at Sephora. In terms of cost they are very close you get two less oz for two dollars less in Tarte's Park Ave Princess. The Tarte bronzer is labeled as a waterproof bronzer. Personally I don't think you can jump into a swimming pool and have it stay in place but in terms of it withstanding humidity it is good. I find that Too Faced also withstands humidity as well. One clear difference is that the Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer smells like chocolate.

Winner:

I personally prefer Tarte's Park Ave Princess right now just because it looks slightly better with my fair complexion. I find that when applying the Too Faced bronzer goes on a bit heavier. In terms of recommending one or the other its a honest tie. If you don't want to smell chocolate when applying bronzer I would go with the Tarte Bronzer. If you want a more sheer application I would also recommend Tarte because it goes on a little less pigmented. Packaging wise the Too Faced Bronzer is a harder more sturdy case with a snap closure. Tarte's full size bronzer has more of a soft packaging with a magnetic closure. In that regards Too Faced is the winner because magnetic packaging makes me nervous. If you are more loyal to one brand or another I would stick to the brand you are more familiar with. Both are great Matte Bronzers and are amazing products. Hats off to both companies!
