Excellent product, although pricey - 02.08.10
Quick Take: luxurious, natural

I just bought the 02 Sheer Bronze. I am Chinese, with light-medium skin with pale yellow undertone. I found the 01 would probably be better suited to fairer skin tones, but I did not get it because it had a slight red undertone, and I find bronzers more natural looking if they are golden/yellow undertones for most skin colours.
I love the scent, and the packaging is sturdy (despite dropping it on a linoleum floor... it did not crack.)
My only complaint is the brush: it's too flat and wide, and it does not pick up an even amount of colour. It applies the powder on in an uneven manner, which can't be good!
I suggest using a medium blush brush for light coverage and tanning, or a kabuki brush for more concentrated colour.
I know it's expensive, but there aren't a lot of products that are like this (and for such good quality and reputation like Guerlain!) so it's worth buying.
Recommended to be put on before tanning outside or in a booth.

excellent bronzer - 12.12.09
Quick Take: amazing, soothing, smooth

just got the bronzer recently, love it! The scent is soothing, the texture is smooth, the coverage is awesome. I tan throughout the year, once a week on average for a skin condtion, this bronzer is amazing when the lights from the tanning booth hit my face. Wish I could find the same product for my body.

lighter shades please! - 06.10.09
Quick Take: no coverage, too dark

It comes with a velvet case and a chic flat brush and 01 has golden color and 02 has copperish color. I bought 01 and its way too dark even for my medium skin, besides it provides no coverage, so you have to use foundation so I don't know if it boosts your tan over the foundation.

Simply the best - 09.22.08
I have tried so many bronzers and none compare to this. The price is discouraging, but I consider it worth it!
