RAWR! I think this is the makeup equivalent of Dolce & Gabbana's sexy corset dresses and tops. I will get to the fashion in a sec, but first, some pics of the glorious Animalier bronzer:

A couple more gratuitous pics in natural light:
While D & G doesn't exactly have the market completely cornered on leopard print, they definitely make extensive use of it in their clothing. Here's a smattering from their Fall/Winter 2011/2012 lineup:

Interestingly, earlier this summer D & G launched a new eyewear line called Animalier, so it makes sense that they would release a leopard print bronzer with the same name. And they even created a short video for the bronzer, showcasing some of their best leopard print designs:
So, all in all I think they did a good job with this bronzer – leopard print is one of D & G's trademarks. I am curious to know, however, how it will stack up next to Dior's Mitzah palette (coming to the U.S. in September – brace yourselves for another Museum smackdown!)
