As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.
