Good product, bad packaging
-08.21.12
I have been using this product in Light for years and I love how natural the color is. However, I hate the packaging. I never know if anything comes out after shaking it and I reallly hate it when I am getting down to the end and nothing comes out because the product granulated and is not longer fine powder. I am actually considering looking for a different bronzer just because of the faulty packaging.

Always come back to the best......

Quick Take: fabulous, natural looking, never cakes, flawless
I absolutely love this product. It is the most natural looking of all the bronzing powders (I've tried most) and it never looks fake or orange. I have tried other brands, even other bronzing powder from Terracotta, but I always come back to this one and I recommend it to anyone, I even posted it under my favorite products board on Pinterest. My only complaint is that I wish the container came with a little more powder.

Best Bronzer
-05.11.11
This is by far the most natural, very expensive, but worth the extra money that I have used. Lasts all day and no one will think it is not a real tan.I buy the medium.

So ,I love the feeling of the powder on my sensitive skin.Balanced cover and healthy glow.Mo mess ,no worries,no irritations but lovely looking skin.Good things are not necessarily cheap so you get what you pay for.

Major Disappointment

This product looked very orange and fake to me and the compact was a mess. I prefer the Terracota 4 Seasons bronzer.

A Real Mess
-02.22.11
I was really disappointed is this product. I have their Terracotta 4 Seasons, which I love and is worth the pricetag. This bronzer I found to be really orange and very unforgiving. The powder dispenser dispensed too much product which ended up all over my vanity and brush.

#2
-02.14.11
I am fair skinned and found the shade 1 to actually be too light so I bought the #2 and am very happy. Highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. Tap your brush on the screen to get the most pigment without wasteing any. If you swirl you will find yourself going through this quite fast. Beautiful natural looking bronzer without looking like an Oompaloompa :)

Quick Take: evens skin tone, adds beautiful color
I don't purchase many bronzers but somehow this one caught my eye. This feels wonderful on - it doesn't make my skin itch like BE does. It covers well and you can use it on days when you don't want to wear foundation.

Perfection
-08.02.10
Quick Take: best mineral foundation out there., wonderful
I have med tone skin that tends to look sallow some days and kind of dull. When you apply this powder (shade #2) it transforms your dull skin into an amazing looking canvas that is healthy with color and just beautiful. I won't use anything else now. Lasts all day and melts into skin. Price is high for this item but there are refills (but not at Sephora). Wish they gave you more product....seriously. For that price it should be three times that much product and refills should be availabe to everyone. Overall, this is the perfect product.....love it.

Quick Take: great!, tannerific!
Was awesome! Gave me the look of a dark tan when I needed it for a Jersey Shore party. But I was also able to tone it down just for a night on the town.

best bronzer by far
-01.31.10
I have probably tried every bronzer under the sun, lancome, benifit, tart, but this blows everyone of them out of the water in the sense of natural looking color. This item is pricey and I admit after my first purchase I did try to go back to Tarte's Park Avenue Princess, but after a few days I returned it and went back to this. I use Medium #2, the color looks amazing, feels light on skin, and even though I don't use foundation, this definitely has a little but of coverage for perfect looking skin.

great for contouring
-10.24.09
Quick Take: light & fresh, easy to apply
At first the price had me a bit leery of purchasing it, and despite the makeup lady who sold it to me (and put it on a bit heavy handed for a fair skinned person)- I bought it anyway. Let me just say, a little goes a long way-- and on fair skin exceptionally far! I love the small brush because it makes it easier to contour along your nose and eyes without having to switch to another brush. It's best to blend on cheeks, or it looks a bit concentrated--- and under the chin- no blending seems needed. It's great for sensitive skin like mine, and lasts all day. Pic shows how I do it along jawline & even on fair skin works well.

Quick Take: amazing, worth every penny!
I am a makeup junkie and have used nearly every bronzer out there. This by far is the best I have ever used. I is very easy to apply, goes on very matte, and looks amazing!!!! And the color is perfect!! I will never go back to any other bronzer!! Worth every penny..!

My seemingly never-ending search for the perfect bronzer is over...this is THE best on the market. A quick swipe of this luxuriously fine powder and you're out the door looking like you just returned from a vacation in St. Tropez or the Amalfi Coast. It's wonderful, and you absolutely get what you pay for!

Way to Glow

I found the 02 too orangey for me and exchanged for the 01. Perfect balance of sheer color + shimmer = sun-kissed glow that never fails to turn heads!
