I have a beigey/olive light skin, boy this baby makes me look guhhhhdddd with this alone makes you feel gold and glamorous! I use this duo on my lazy day with a good strong brow and lash popping mascara and with a light nudey matte shadow. I'm good to go! (somewhere)

good for fair skin

Quick Take: luminous glow
I like that these two colors actually have some contrast to them, or you can blend for an intermediate tone. They do blend well, but both colors are shimmer. I would have LOVED it if the darker was matt, but this works well. Overall, it is one of the best bronzers I've used, mainly due to the two color choices.

best bronzer I've found
-03.16.12
I don't normally use bronzers. I've found that they can make me look dirty and muddy. This one is wonderful! I swirl the colors together and apply to my cheekbones, and I look instantly healthier and awake. The colors blend together perfectly and are a true fit for my skintone (light with yellow undertones). There is a small amount of shimmer to it, but it's not glaring or overwhelming. It lasts all day, too. I am sold on this bronzer. This is an awesome product!

Excellent Bronzer
-01.09.12
I simply love the Illamasqua Bronzing Duo. It will probably be a little too light for me during summer months but for now it is perfect! I have a medium olive complexion and the shading is beautiful. It goes on and blends smoothly!

beautiful color, accentuates pores
-12.09.11
when I saw this at the store I was so excited because they were exactly the shades of bronzers I was looking for! Unfortunately they accentuate my pores like lazy, and I don't even have large pores. Returned this product.

Beautiful Natural Looking bronzed glow and contour
-11.08.11
A bronzer can be a girls best makeup product, it gives the skin instant color, life and beauty, or it can make you look like someone who rolls around in the dirt or likes to wear an orange crayon on your face.
I have fair/light skin and regardless of application technique, allot of bronzers look terrible on me. This bronzer by Illamasqua in Glint & Burnish looks Beautiful! I have purchased tons of bronzers at all different price points, this is in my top 3 favorites. Both shades are bronzers. Use the lighter side to add color and a healthy glow and then use the darker side to contour and if you want to add a little more of a tanned look to your skin as well. The darker side isnt matte but its also not to shimmery to contour with. A perfect bronzer if you have trouble finding a believable pretty bronzer for light skin.

-10.24.11
Quick Take: luminous, highlighting
I really thought the bronzer part of this duo would be matte but both sides are pretty shimmery. I like to use this to highlight my cheekbones but definitely not all over my face. Very nice duo but I still feel like I need a matte bronzer

-10.05.11
I liked this set a lot, the bronzer is not at all orangy and looks very natural on my olive skin. It's acutally the best color bronzer I've ever used. The hilighter is also beautiful. Tha only problem is that the packagin is so big, it takes so much room in my make-up bag. Still a great product, wish it was under $30.

Mediocre Product...
-09.22.11
This is a quality product, however the highlighter doesn't really do very much. It gives a very slight glow. The bronzer portion also just provides a bronzed glow and no more because it's quite light. Not impressed by this product at all.

great summer bronzer
-07.20.11
this is a perfect bronzer to take on vacation, I found that I used the lighter side at the start, and when I got more tanned I used a combination of both colors. I have found that I now use it more like a blush. Very durable and looks good when you take it of your purse :D

-04.11.11
Quick Take: luxurious, beautiful
I took a chance on this bronzer and am so glad that I did! First of all, it's huge. And the mirror is so large and fantastic. I am very fair skinned and I don't find this too dark as others have said at ALL. Get a really nice brush for an airbrushed look! I have hesitated on bronzers in the past because of my acne scarring on my cheeks I felt like a darker color really hallows it out more..but if you have a good foundation underneath this bronzer looks phenomenal and really sexy. I can see how overdoing this bronzer could look a little heinous..but a light hand will make this look flawless. This was my first Illamasqua purchase and i will be a fan for life. A+

My FAVORITE bronzer!!
-01.10.11
Quick Take: contours nicely, gives you radiance/glow, perfect shades for light-to-medium skin
I have tons of bronzers (like over 20+) and I keep using this one because it is the PERFECT color for light-to-medium skintones. It does have a pearlized/glow affect so if you are looking for a more matte bronzer then this is not for you. This gives me a beautiful radiance that I have NOT found with any other bronzer on the market. I swirl my brush in both shades by the way- perfect coloring.

I use it every day and get lots of compliments about my skin, not about the makeup! People actually see healthy looking, fresh, and dewy skin, not the product on it.

Quick Take: long-lasting, easy
i was looking to change to my bronzer, and although i really wanted to try yves, it didn't make sense to spend $50 on a bronzer. thank goodness for sephora mobile where i could look up reviews while in the store, because they pointed me directly to this. this is so natural looking, and perfectly achieved the shimmery gold look that i was wanting... no orange tint, and lasts a while, even in the florida sun.

First Illamasqua purchase
-05.05.10
I was so conused as to which shade to purchase. Sephora's online help recommended Glint & Writhe for my coloring and it works perfectly for my light-medium complexion. This is such an unusual product. It has sheen, but not glitter. It's very flattering. Also, this has a TON of product. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to use it all. Very nice product.

it's okay
-04.22.10
i really wanted to like this one. and i do, but not as much as i was hoping. i have tan skin and dark eyes and like the "golden goddess" look. this product has alot of gold undertone (something i like and vibes with the look i like to achieve), but doesn't really show up very well on my cheek. also, i find with other bronzers, i'm able to put it on more properly if that makes sense. in other words, it feels more effortless with other bronzers. when i use this i feel i have to be VERY careful or i'll end up looking blotchy. with others, i just swipe it and it comes out better. i'm keeping the product, but have to take care when i use it. tried the lighter side as a highlighter. eh. it can be a light bronzer instead for me. i won't buy it again i don't think. i'm just going to enjoy it while i have it... go to the store and try it first! i had mine shipped and was too lazy to send it back (plus i'd already used it). it's clearly sufficient though.
