I love this bronzer! I'm not a huge fan of bronzers but gave this one a shot and I love it! It truly is a kiss of sun on your skin without looking harsh or fake or anything. I would definately buy another and plan on doing so.
Pros:Price and overall product. Cons:A bit hard to find in stores but there always is online.
I love this bronzer! I have light to medium, warm toned skin and this looks so pretty and natural on me. I picked a pan with the least amount of gold in it(the picture above I took of my own product), since I don't like a lot of shimmer. This lasts me all day. It is nicely pigmented, so I don't have to use a ton to get the desired effect. It doesn't have any odd smell, and doesn't smell of perfume. The packaging is OK. I think the latch could be better designed. It can be difficult to open. I would definitely recommend this bronzer to others. Price is kinda steep for a drugstore brand, so wait for a sale.
Pros:Natural, not glittery, no odor, lasts all day, widely available Cons:Latch on package could be made easier to open.
My favourite bronzer at the moment! The different shades of bronzing pearls in the tub gives you an even and natural colour. Easy to apply and not too fake looking. I use it almost every day and have been using it for around 3/4 months now and it doesn't look like I've used any! Can go a tiny bit streaky at the end of the day but I find that that's only when you apply a lot. If you apply it for a natural look it's great.
Pros:Different coloured pearls give nice colour, not cakey, price, ease of application. Cons:Can go a bit streaky (probably not a good bronzer for those wanting a darker tan)
This is my favorite bronzer right now, and I have tried quite a few. It´s a nice natural bronze, with just the right amount of shimmer. IMO a totally matte bronzer can look a bit unrealistic sometimes, as a natural tan always has some sort of "glow" to it. NARS Laguna gives me the most realistic bronzed look.
I totally understand all the fuss about this bronzer now! BUT, even though this is the lighter version of this bronzer (the darker one is called Casino) this might not work for the very fair skinned. (for reference, I´m NC30)
Pros:good color payoff, just the right amount of shimmer Cons:price
Even though there are only three colors of bronzer,- sun kissed, warm tan, and luminance, I use enjoy these powders, and I swear by these that they make a great mineral makeup powder primer! I also find that these healthy glow bronzer are very comparable to Physician's Formular Bronzer Strips. These are an investment!

Pros:Can be used as a great mineral makeup primer, or finish for a youthful, or dewy glow. Cons:
I don't like this bronzer at all. It's not very pigmented. It's a bit glittery, and once you keep reapplying to finally get the color you want it is orange-y and waaay too glittery at that point. After about a week, the product in the pan developed a large crack. Hopefully a chunk doesn't fall out. I never tried the brush that came with it, so I am not sure of the quality. I will not buy this ever again.
Pros:None Cons:Poor pigmentation, ended up being too glittery, looks orange, overall product quality seemed poor
Cutest Package. best Color- not bronze-but GOLDEN...
I feel rich in this. I feel like I splurged a zillion dollars to fly to St Tropez. I feel like a Pussycat Doll, like J Lo, like Eva Mendez... Like all those other glowy tan chicks out there in rich and tan land.
Okay, I think I must be missing something when it comes to this product. The Rimmel London website is full of people raving about how great it is and saying things like "I can't live without it" "It's the best bronzer around". Now, I'm not an expert on bronzers but if this is the best then I'm going to give up in my search for the perfect bronzer! I did NOT like this product at all! I never wanted a 'you've been tangoed' look, I just wanted a kind of healthy glow. So I didn't think I could go wrong with a 'Natural Bronzer'. When I first put it on I was quite impressed with the colour. The only thing I was a bit annoyed by was how it didn't feel I could get any of the pressed powder bronzer on the brush and it took a lot of swirling but the colour was good. I went to college and after 3 hours (of not doing much! I was sat in a class writing, not running or anything big lol) I caught sight of myself in the mirror and saw that the bronzer had suddenly gone patchy and stripy! Convinced it must be my application I tried again and again and again each time with the same ending. It always ends up patchy! I feel like I've totally wasted my money on this! I wouldn't buy it again!
Pros:Good colour to start off with. Cons:Turns patchy!, Product doesn't go onto your brush very well.
another one of my favorite bronzers,although i only apply ANY kind of powder on special occasions ONLY,this bronzer i apply maybe once a week it gives me a perfect glow and good color! loving this product!
Sick of spending looooads of money on bronzers andblushers just to look into the mirror and look like a clown? thats where ELF comes in! I was having such a hard time finding a product whish actually made me look like i had a healthy colour without spending my life savings! then i found ELF! they have bronzers and blushers for every skin tone and are perfect at making you look like you have colour without looking stupid! there so cap aswell you can afford to experiment with a few different ones! that what i did and i now have the perfect color for me! i dont know what id do without ELF thankyouuuuu!
This is a really matte bronzer. Lasts all day. Colour is kind of orangey but it's easy to blend. I'm pretty pale so that might be why it looks orangey because it looks more brown orange in the pan. The packaging is a flip top and it opens pretty easily.
Matte Pressed Powder bronzer is on the right in the photo. The actual bronzer color is darker than the photo shows.
I'm a MAC NW20, fair olive skin, brown hair and eyes, oily.
I love this because it is not truly matte. It has a slight shimmer/glimmer in it to add a bit of dimension instead of looking flat and fake. A truly matte bronzer has the tendency to look cakey and fake in natural light, but this one will not look that way. It's nicely pigmented and lasts most of the day.
The glimmer is not a noticable shimmer at all, so you won't apply it and think "shimmer face".
Pros:Matte that does not look dirty or muddy Cons:Nope!
I love this. It's perfect for my NC15/E0-10/ivory skin. It's glowy but it has a really smooth texture that's easy to blend. It's not overpowering but I do need to use a bit of a light hand. Not orangey at all on my skin. Lasts all day.
I am now in my pasty winter white color. Nothing could be farther from pretty. So over the holidays in a wholesale make up kit I had a sample of Sugar Travel Tan. So I put on a little sunless tanner and after it dried I took the brush which conveniently comes attached to the powder and swept it over my face. I was very impressed with the findly milled bronzing powder, but could clearly see that it is much better over already tanned skin. Just sweep the brush over your shoulders and decolletage and it creates a sexy golden bronze sheen. Just a head's up on the product - go easy on this stuff because it can really go on dark. Less is more here.
Pros:Love the packaging and does just what it says it will. Cons:Use a light hand with this as it will go on too dark
I bought the color Baked Tan since I wanted a light colored bronzer to use during the winter. Baked Tan is a golden color and I found it to be too light for my medium skin tone, didn't do anything for me. I wouldn't repurchase this product and it may work better for someone with a fair skin tone.
First off, I love the packaging of Benefit's bronzers, blushes and powders-- too cute! I wasn't sure how I would like this bronzer since it is matte and I'm used to ones that have a lot more shimmer, but this one looked great, especially on my already tanned face. A lot of bronzers can leave your skin looking fake and/or dirty, but Hoola looks extremely natural. If you are a bronzer lover, you definetly have to check this one out!
Pros:Natural looking, cute packaging, applies and blends easy Cons:Kind of pricey
First off, I own the tropic tan bronzer & blush DUO.
DESCRIPTION: look like you spent the summer surfing the weaves in Waikiki (even if the only surfing you did was on the internet) with this oversized compact. It pairs bronze shimmer powder with peachy/pink blush to grant your complexion the perfect back-from-the-beach glow.
MY OPINION: this product is a staple of mine, the best bronzer I've ever used. In the past, I've tried so many bronzers with disappointing results but this one works really well. This duo gives me a great hint of tan and glow when my face is pale so no wonder Paris Hilton uses it!
In conclusion, I would definitely advise you girls out there to try it because this combo well worth what I paid for it.
