Review 1 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Very natural!
-04.11.13
Quick Take: matte finish, luminous glow, natural looking
I bought this bronzer after reading all the positive reviews. I have to say that it did not disappoint! It is extremely natural looking and gives you just the right amount of glow. I usually use a cream or powder blush and blend this in afterwards. I also like the fact that this bronzer has a matte finish. I use to use the NYC bronzer in Sunny but this is much smoother and is easier to blend together with the rest of my makeup. I sometimes use powder or a tinted moisturizer as a base and this bronzer blends with both. Great buy!

Review 2 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Surprised
-03.29.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, luminous glow
Being over 60, most of these products do not work for me. But I was in need to blush/bronzer and since this one didn't have any sparkle, I thought I would give it a try. I was blown away on how well it works and looks. I will certainly buy this product again.

Review 4 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Good quality, fair price
-01.21.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
Very nice texture and color (Sunkissed). I have light-medium skin. Bronzer is not sparkly and is good for a touch of color, but still office appropriate. Packaging isn't as good as my Sisley bronzer...but $29 is a far better option than ~$100 Sisley! I have found that Anastasia's powders are high quality and fairly priced.

The title says it all! I think this bronzer goes on so naturally and doesn't leave me orangy or dirty looking. Well, I haven't had it for long but I can say it is one of my best friends now!

Review 6 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Creamy, good for fair skin tone
-10.29.12
My favourite bronzer has been the YSL for some years now, but this one is really good and I reach out for it a lot. It's creamy (even though it's powder), and feels really good on the skin like it adheres seamlessly. Sun Kissed is the color i have and i have very fair skin, but it looks great without it being looking like an obvious bronzer.

Review 10 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Best Bronzer Ever
-09.04.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
If you are looking for a bronzer that goes on easily & looks completely natural, then this is the one for you. It's luminous without being too sparkly & it blends perfectly into my medium skintone. Even when I lift my hair off my forehead, I can not tell where the bronzer is. It just looks like I have a real sunkissed tan. It's funny because when I opened the bronzer to view the color, it just looked ordinary. However, when I applied it to my skin, I was astonished about how good & natural it looked. I have tried a lot of bronzers & the color usually is too gold or too unnatural, & many other bronzers do not go on evenly. This one goes on with seemless lines & is not matte & not sparkly but mimicks a natural luminous tan. I could care less about the anti-aging ingredients. I am pleased enough with this bronzer to buy another one as a back-up. I plan to wear this year round. It's too early to tell if there are any other benefits. I can not say enough good things about this bronzer!

Review 11 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Excellent Bronzer
-08.29.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow, easy to apply-goes on smoothly.
Finally, a bronzer that goes on smoothly & the color looks natural (i.e. sunKissed look). I got the sun-bronzed color which is perfect for my medium complexion & the bronzing powder does not settle in the lines. I have tried many bronzers & this is the one for me. I could not be more pleased.

Review 13 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Good, but hasn't performed miracles yet
-04.01.12
Quick Take: long lasting, need a light touch
Other reviewers said this looks very natural. I ordered this in sun kissed and it's pretty dark. I suppose that's the good news: I don't have to us a lot. It lasts through a 10 hour work day. Firming? Not sure about that yet, but overall I think I like it. Would I order it again? Probably.

Review 14 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Anastasia complex bronzer
-03.30.12
Quick Take: perfect to take away the winter blahs.
I love this bronzer. My skin is very fair and all bronzers end up looking very dark on me. This looks natural and sun kissed like it is advertised. I can control the amount very easily and it doesn't cake up. I like the natural ingredients also and what it is not formulated with like parabens, dyes, etc.

Sheer Bronze Beauty
-11.02.11
Quick Take: luxury, anti aging
Very nice bronzer, the best I have found for delicate color that appears natural. My skin was unchanged by the use but I will concede it as wonderful as described. If you have dry or normal skin, this is especially nice to use as it is not heavy or drying. The compact is a bonus, truly lovely and well crafted.

Review 17 for ILLUMIN8 With Youthful Synergy™ Complex Bronzer
Perfect color
-08.10.11
I've been using this bronzer for a couple of weeks and really like it. I have fair skin and chose sun-kissed and it is very natural looking. I haven't noticed a change in my skin texture but I do notice that the makeup feels very light on my skin and hasn't caused any breakouts.
