Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder
What it is:A soft matte, silky-smooth bronzer that instantly gives skin the look of a natural tan.What it does:This bronzing powder is formulated with the perfect balance of red and brown tones (that exist in a true tan) to create the most natural effect. It blends perfectly with all skintones for a sun-kissed glow and the buildable formula allows for a "deep tan" look.

Review 1 for Bronzing Powder
Poor color and blending
-05.13.13
I wanted so much to like the Bobbi Brown brand but I'm at a loss with this one. I bought the light and the color turns up a little orange. Even if I use a little it does not blend well. I won't purchase again.

Review 2 for Bronzing Powder
works great
-05.03.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
This was the first bronzer I ever used. My mom and I have now used it for years, and it was my favorite bronzer. Gave such a gorgeous tan, and it was just dark enough in Medium. After experimenting more with makeup, I fell in love with Benefit's Hoola Bronzer, but this is still really great. The main reason I switched is because this shade has more of a reddish tone and Hoola is definitely a warmer brown.

Flawless, natural looking bronzer!!! Love it!
-05.03.13
Before using this product, I used Nars' "Laguna" bronzer for years. Now I will never go back! This Bobbi Brown bronzer gives an amazing, and most importantly, natural looking glow that lasts all day with or without priming the face first. Two thumbs up!!

Review 4 for Bronzing Powder
not bad
-04.30.13
I am a fan of bronzing powders that are matte and this one is perfect - no shimmer and it shows up. i have tan skin so sometimes bronzers don't do much for me but bobbi brown has a nice color range. it's also fairly long lasting and quite pigmented. the only reason i give it four stars is because it's too expensive. i won't be repurchasing for that reason and also because bobbi brown now tests on animals.

Review 5 for Bronzing Powder
Not buildable
-04.30.13
Quick Take: matte finish
I have fair- light skin and when I used a very little bit of this bronzer, it gave me a tiny bit of color, but when I tried to put just a little more, I ended up looking like my skin was dirty. Yuck. I've already tried two different times with different foundations, but I still didn't like it. I would recommend Guerlain bronzer, you can't go wrong with it and you can put on as much as you like and still look natural and beautiful.

Review 6 for Bronzing Powder
Creamy and natural !
-04.29.13
Quick Take: natural looking
Finally, I natural looking bronzer. I really love its matte finish that isn't drying, either.
It is on the pricey side, but it's worth the money. You need a very small amount to obtain a nice sun-kissed look.

Review 7 for Bronzing Powder
Perfect color
-04.11.13
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
Love the color and texture of this smooth bronzer. It's not too "powdery" like some loose bronzers and lets you apply just the right amount without looking "bronze".

Review 9 for Bronzing Powder
Great bronzer for fair skin!
-03.28.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
I have fair skin (cool tone) and I've always had such a hard time with bronzers being too dark and making me look orange and/or 'dirty'. This one is perfect.
I use the lightest shade and it builds very well so I can just have a light dusting or layer more color. It's also completely matte. I personally don't like shimmery bronzer, but if that's something you like, then this isn't a good choice.
This has a pretty low key rep in the world of bronzers - but it's definitely a classic.

Review 10 for Bronzing Powder
Bronze
-03.25.13
Quick Take: matte, easy to blend
I have been trying to find a bronzed that works well with my skin tone. I don't like most shimmering bronzers out there. This one is perfect, a little goes a long way andit blends easier than I thought. Let the search end!

Shade: natural
-02.23.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
I do not know why more people don't talk about this bronzer. I have tried every bronzer and this one replaced my old favs immediately. It blends into skin seamlessly and the undertones of the shade natural are perfect for neutral and rosy skin tones. It actually just looks like a natural tan and its so easy to apply no streaking.

Review 13 for Bronzing Powder
Easy to apply
-02.10.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
I bought this based on its great reviews. I have lighter skin in the winter and medium in the summer. I bought the lightest shade and can use it both seasons. I use the bronzer to contour, and find that after a lot of blending, it can look a bit yellowish compared to my jaw line. Other than that, using it as a bronzer it gives me some color to my face, and doesn't look fake.

Review 14 for Bronzing Powder
THE BEST bronzer
-02.08.13
Quick Take: natural looking, buildable, good value
I have fair, cool-toned skin and foundations for my skintone tend to make me look flat, washed out and sick without bronzer. I bought this in the lightest color and it is PERFECT. Not orange at all, not even overly brown. It is matte but not flat-looking. I really dislike bronzers with shimmer because I only like a tiny bit of shimmer on parts of my face I want to highlight, and it's difficult to apply a shimmery bronzer all over while looking even remotely natural.
It's a very sheer, buildable, highly pigmented and natural color. I barely tap my brush onto the pan and have enough color to apply as a cheek contour and then blended onto that side of the face; one more tap for the other side, one more for my nose, forehead. Takehome message: this product will last FOREVER. I mean it when I say you barely have to touch the brush to get good, natural looking color.
My only complaint is that I dropped it (on carpet! from not very high!) and the notch holding the otherwise awesome packaging shut broke. Now I can't close the compact and will have to tape it shut for travel, which is really too bad at this price point and considering how much longer I will likely have this product before needing to repurchase. It might have been a fluke and just hit the ground at an unfortunate angle - not sure. At least the actual product inside remained intact. Regardless, I've had this for a year now and it looks like I've barely made a dent, so I can't complain.
I will absolutely repurchase and I really don't think I will ever buy another bronzer again. This was my first Bobbi Brown product and I will be back!

So beautiful
-01.30.13
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
love, love, love!! I get the best all over natural glow with this bronzer. I am a convert to Bobbi Brown! I bought the Natural and was very hesitant about how it looked in the pan but you must start out with a light touch and build the color to achieve the glow you want.

Review 18 for Bronzing Powder
Nice finish
-01.27.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
I haven't uses this every day yet, because my skin has been too dry for a lot of powders & such (they flaked and caked because of my dry skin). Full makeup is a brand-new thing for me. As my skin texture has begun improving with regular moisturizer use, I'm able to use it more often for a better, more finished look and a more energetic glow.

LOVE IT!

Quick Take: natural looking
I really love this bronzer. It gives me a natural looking tan on my face. When I wear it, people ask me if i have gotten a tan and that it looks great. I love that it does not have shimmer like most bronzers. It looks natural.
