Review 1 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Fantastic!
-04.29.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
This is my first ever review for Sephora and found the best waterproof bronzer out there. Don't be discouraged on the price tag but rather stock up as they often sell out. Easily will last me the whole season and great quality.

Best colour

Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
I have used many bronzers and this gives the perfect colour! Not too muddy and not too orange, and no red, it's a beautiful universal colour for every skin type.

Review 4 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
I have found THE ONE!
-11.16.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
I have tried many bronzers in search of the perfect one and this is it! It is beautifully matte, has no shimmer or glitter for a more natural look, and is great for contouring! This bronzer goes on smooth and is nice and light. I'm acne prone, especially on my cheeks and this has not given me any problems at all! I have had this bronzer for about 6 months and wear it almost everyday and I'e barely made a dent in it. It may be a bit pricey for some but it lasts forever and its worth every penny!

Best Matte Bronzer!!!
-10.05.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
This bronzer is so nice! It looks natural without being too orange and is matte. It works well for an all-over bronze or as a contour color. The bronzer is very pigmented, so use a light hand especially if you are fair like I am. It lasts a long time on me, and I live in a hot environment. Overall, this is an excellent bronzer that you should try!

Review 8 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Just Gorgeous!
-09.30.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
I love bronzers like a crazy wierdo, and this one is really unique. The color is great for contouring and for all over tanning. Though the bronzer is matte, it gives a nice luminosity to the complexion. The texture is very buttery and goes on like a dream. Also, I'm not for someone who uses brushes that come with kits, but I like the brush included in this bronzer. It's great for contouring under the cheekbones. I love the cool packaging also. It's great and really well worth the money.

Review 9 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Nice color
-09.24.12
In my experience, this is not really extended wear like it says it is. I wear this everyday and by mid day, most of it is gone. And I decided to test this out while I was sun bathing, did not last through sweating at all. Was completely gone by the time I was done. Maybe it's because the BB cream I use is not water or sweat proof. Don't know. I gave it 4 stars cause it is a nice color and applies and blends very easily. It's a softer powder than all the other bronzers I have tried. And the brush is very nice as well. Super soft and great quality. The hairs don't fall out easily. As long as you don't go swimming or sun bathing, then you will have at least a little bit still there. Still better than the other bronzers which is why I decided to keep it.

Review 10 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Pricey, but worth the investment.
-09.23.12
I had my eye on this bronzer for a while and I finally decided to take the plunge when I received a gift card for my birthday. I have to say, I am super impressed with this product. The color is perfect for contouring my Paki skin tone. The texture is smooth and soft(but not powdery!), it blends like a dream, and lasts ALL day long.

Review 11 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Great for contouring
-09.01.12
Matte waterproof moisturizing bronzer that works great as a contouring powder. It stays put all day and blends well. There's no shimmer to this so it looks really natural. Not orange, but a nice brown sun kissed color that gives depth to your face. Love it!

Great Bronzer
-07.15.12
This product is expensive and I wasn't sure if I should buy it. But I do have to say it's great. A little goes a long way and it stays on all day! The others that I have tried I always need to reapply in the afternoon. I also like brush and mirror, it makes it very easy to carry in my purse.

Review 15 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
wonderful for fair skin & its waterproof!
-06.28.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, comes with cruelty free brush, waterproof
I own a ton of bronzers, but really wanted a waterproof one. They were sold out of another brand I wanted so I got this one instead, and boy am I glad I did. Its matte and very natural looking. This is a very high quality bronzer. The brush it comes with is on par with the other individual brushes I have from Hourglass, my favorites from my brush collection. I am very excited about this bronzer. I think its my new HG bronzer!

Review 17 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, B E S T !
-06.02.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow, waterproof, blendable, buildable, smooth, longlasting, pigmented
Benefit Hoola has an olive complexion that's just muddy. Nars Laguna is way too shimmery. I have been using Too Faced Chocolate Bronzer, which has been the best but I needed something waterproof of the summer.
Waterproof for the pool or the beach, and say its silly to wear makeup to the pool or beach, but this bronzer beautifully contours my face and gives a gorgeous tanned bronzed glow.
Between the Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer and the Hourglass Superficial Waterproof Bronzer, the Hourglass lasts way longer. After jumping in the pool the Tarte is already off, the Hourglass bronzer lasted the whole day.
I am a swimmer and lifeguard and this bronzer stays through school, practice, meets, work and teaching.
Waterproof= Sweat-proof, Pool-proof, Beach-proof, Gym-proof.

Goes on and blends great on liquid, power, or cream foundation, even on its own or over a little concealer. This Bronzer doesn't oxidize, which means turns orange after a while. Also it is super pigmented, so a little goes a very very long way. Being so waterproof the product doesn't tattoo onto the face, it does come of with a makeup removing wipe or facial cleanser.
Do not throw awake the brush it comes with! The quality is just as amazing as the bronzer. Hourglass does have a line of brushes and the hairs on this brush are the same that they use for their high-quality brushes.
The mirror and packaging are impressive, I've dropped it at least three times and the mirror didn't crack nor did the product.

Review 19 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Terrible
-12.19.11
Quick Take: not recommneded
Made my face looked dirty, no matter what brush I used. It just looked unnatural and too dark. Because of my skin tone, mode bronzers look great on me, but not this one.

Review 20 for Superficial Waterproof Bronzer
Does What it Says
-11.28.11
no gross sparkle, very matte: check
although pricey, this product lasts for 4 months (or more and I use everyday): check
brush is of good quality, and lends to great for travel, bathroom touchups: check
dones't make my sensitive skin break out: check
buildable coverage for "tan" summer months: check
Only complaint is that despite all of this - the price can be a bit lower.
