Review 1 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Great
-06.14.13
Quick Take: luminous glow, natural looking
Love this bronzer! I'm a big fan of Hourglass makeup and this bronzer just reminds me of how I can never go back to another product. Easy to apply and you can control the darkness level!

Review 2 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo

Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
I'm getting a little older and I have a drawer full of bronzes that I just wasn't happy with, too glittery, too powdery, just inappropriate for my age. Hourglass is flawless, smooth and perfect. I have olive colored skin so the colored worked perfect. I can't live without. I would say that it might be too orange for lighter skin tones.

Beautiful color

This stuff blends so perfect I don't look like I'm wearing make up. Yes it's expensive but the texture and color are well worth it. Very impressed.

Review 6 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
LOVE this product !
-02.11.13
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow, emollient
I really lovee this product. I bought the rose with the bronze. This product is very pigmented and also very emollient and gives the skin that great glow. I love using this to mimic the skin look of a natural bronze, contour and also blush. Also, if your skin is more fair, be very light handed when applying the bronze. It can look too orange. Overall, a definite MUST have !

Review 7 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Love this product, But...
-01.28.13
It seemed to have changed formulas? I have bought this bronzer/blusher compact 4 or 5 times. It gives your skin a beautiful glow, but, this last compact seems very translucent? I feel the need to keep applying to get that sun kissed look a little more so this time around. I usually would get 3 to 4 months, easily. I just purchased this a month ago and I already can see the bottom of the compact. Maybe, I got stuck with a bad batch? Usually, easy to apply, little goes a long way, gives skin a nice semi dewy natural glow. I will definitely try again! I love all hour glass products!!

Review 8 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
projectbeauty
Beautiful. Naturally tanned. Leaves skin glowing!!
-01.23.13
This is my 3 rd purchase with this product!! I love most of the hour glass line!! I've been a cosmetologist and make up artist for 15 years! I've used the worst and the best skin and make up products throughout the years. My favorites from sephora are make up forever(mufe)& hour glass. By far, no matter how old or what skin type you have, this bronzer/blush looks great on everyone's skin! We use it on all our brides, bridesmaids, prom, and any special occasion make up. I use it myself on a day to day basis& it gives my skin a beautiful, natural looking tan and stays put til I'm ready to take my make off!!! Your skin will look airbrushed and radiant. It goes on slightly creamy and turns into a powder. It has anti aging properties in it, it makes my skin look and feel great. Controls oil for women with very oily skin. I'm quite dry and it feels very hydrating!! It's a miracle product that adjusts to every skin type. A little goes a long way!!!! Worth $40 and some......

Review 9 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Pleaseed, but not wowed
-01.14.13
I use Too Faced bronzer almost exclusively, but purhcased this on a recommendation from a Sephora associate. It goes on nicely, gives you a dewy glow - takes a little more effort and time to apply than a typical powder, but is very moisturizing and even, no dark, pigmented spots. Lasts quite a while, but not all day. It was a nice change, but I think I'll go back to a true powder once it runs out. Just a little less maintenance.

Review 10 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Good idea but colors??
-01.10.13
I like the concept of blush and bronzer in one package. Unfortunately the bronzer is not a match for my skin tone (fair skin, blue undertones). Although nice color it turns pumpkin orange when I apply. Would perhaps work for someone with warn undertones.

Review 12 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Not a Highlighting/Bronzo duo for everyone
-12.20.12
Quick Take: orange
I've been trying to find a cream bronzer for a while now and I was recommended this product. I have to say that I was not expecting the bronzer to be an orange-like color. It does not blend out nicely nor does it match the color I hoped for such as dark brown. I wish there were different shades of this duo because the 'brown' will not match every girl's color preferences. The highlight is very nice and I had no complaints at all, but the fact that the bronzer wasn't what I was looking for, the product was immediately returned.

Review 13 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Good Blush, not a good duo
-12.15.12
Quick Take: long lasting
The blush color is a beautiful color. The bronzer turns orange when applied. Both products have smooth application and do not fade. Would like the blush sold separately as the bronzer is useless.

Review 14 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Orange bronzer
-12.09.12
This product blends well and the blush is absolutely gorgeous ... But the bronzer is orange and not flattering . I have neutral light medium skin and the bronzer was so orange and fake looking! Returned for that reason-- wish they sold separately

Review 15 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Not a fan,
-12.05.12
Quick Take: not for me and may not be for you
Difficult to apply without streaking. The shades didn't work well together and weren't natural looking at all. I am not a fan of the scent or the formula of this cream blush. The swivel oompact is awkward to work with and if you aren't careful, it gouges the makeup when you open or close it. I wound up returning it.

Review 16 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Laur11045
-11.22.12
Quick Take: natural looking
Good quality, waterproof. I do wish the bronzer was a little lighter, or at least less on the orange side. On fair skin like mine, I have to use a very small amount otherwise I look orange. The blush however looks great. I love that neither have shimmer. They both blend seamlessly. I just wish the orange tones on the bronzer would be toned down so I could use it as a contour cream too.

Review 17 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
My go to contour and highlighting palette!
-10.10.12
Quick Take: creamy, natural
I fell in love with this palette on my trip to Mexico. It looks so natural in sunlight and doesn't leave a harsh orange line where I've contoured. The finish is just so natural and velvetty. For night time, I use the bronzer as a base for my powder contour. The highlighter provides the perfect sheen and is great for those who don't prefer shimmery highlighters.

This cream to powder combo is absolutely gorgeous! I was wearing the Nars Orgasm combo, but this may be my new favorite. It goes on smooth, creating a flawless finish and stays on forever!

Review 19 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
-09.30.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
I love this bronzer. I bought it almost three years ago for the first time, and have never found a bronzer I like better. I first bought the sunset but almost never used the blush. My most recent purchase was this bronzer in "light" and I love the way the beige color looks with my skin.

Review 20 for Illume Creme-To-Powder Bronzer Duo
Nice Bronzer
-09.13.12
I looked perfect when I got the mini-makeover at the Sephora store with this bronzer. However, so far I have not been able to reproduce the same effect at home. I guess I just can't quite blend the product well enough. It is a nice bronzer duo though. It is true that the bronzer is more on the brown or peach side, so don't use too much of the brown bronzer. Or else your face will look really dark. I have fair Asian skin, and the first time I tried it at home, I used too much of the bronzer and looked like I just came out of the tanning salon. I wish the bronzer is one shade lighter.
