Skin looks flawless!
-04.25.13
Quick Take: natural looking
Wow, am I glad I bought this! I've been eyeing this powder because bought Givenchy's Le Frangipanier powder (kinda like a bronzer) a couple of years ago to keep in my makeup bag. It was a limited item so I was always afraid to use very much of it, but now that it's starting to run out I've been looking for a replacement. I was VERY hesitant about getting this because anything that's described as 'creamy' will have me running the other way since I have extremely sensitive skin prone to break outs. This really is weightless and almost invisible on the skin! If you're looking for a lot of color, this is not the product for you. I would describe this more as just a veil of powder in compact form. I've been using Bare Minerals for about 6 -7 years, and although I love it, sometimes having something new is fun, lol! I would say the coverage from this product is a bit more sheer than Bare Minerals loose SPF foundation. For reference, I have slightly olive skin with yellowish undertones (Asian skin), and I got the #3. I wouldn't say this is going to give you a glow or a flush, but it does make your skin look beautiful and healthy. For color, after I put my sunscreen on in the morning, I apply a sheer layer of Benefit Cha-Cha tint (a mango shade) on my cheeks. Then I brush this on with a large powder brush. You wouldn't even think I was wearing any makeup! Highly recommend!

HEAVY COVERAGE
-03.28.13
Quick Take: matte finish, long lasting
I was looking for a powder to give a glow and added warmth to my complexion (a 'healthy glow' in fact, which is the name of this product). This gave both although the glow was very minimal and the warmth was definitely on the beige/tan side not the healthy, rosy/sun-kissed side of the warmth equation. Adding blush on top is a must with this powder, which is disappointing as the name suggests this gives the complete 'healthy glow' effect and that is not the case.
It is not invisible on the skin as advertised. It gave me heavy coverage (even applied with a light hand) and you could really see the powder sitting on top of my skin. NOT a natural look. I tried the lightest shade and it was slightly too dark for my fair skin. It is very long lasting and really stays put but not what I was looking for unfortunately.

For a summery look...only
-03.09.13
Quick Take: easy to use, subtle, natural warm tone
This is a lovely way to give yourself a subtle sunny look whether you just returned from a SnowBird trip, or you keep out of the sun in the summer yet like a little extra color. It doesn't overpower your complexion and you may want to still put some pinker blush on top, but it is a nice glow.

J'adore!
-12.26.12
Love this product. It's so shimmery and luminescent. The first two shades act better as a highlight for contouring and blending blush than a bronzed though. I absolutely love it for that purpose.

It's magic!
-12.01.12
Quick Take: luminous glow, natural looking
I already have the shade 3 for use in the summer, but I ordered the lightest shade 1 to use as an all-over face powder....be aware: this is not for someone who wants obvious colour or shimmer! But if you're looking for a soft glow, and an absolutely feather-light texture, this powder is for you!
I wear it all over my face, and it just gives the most natural yet polished finish; it is worth every penny!

FINALLY! The PERFECT Bronzer!
-11.11.12
Quick Take: natural looking, beautifully sun kissed
I am over 50 and fair-skinned with red/pink undertones. Every bronzer looks orange or muddy on me. A MU artist at Seph suggested this--and I reluctantly agreed. Am SO glad I let her apply it. GORGEOUS! (#3 "Golden) She said it is a baked gel and has no talc--I could tell immediately as it did not make my skin look dry and you could not see the "powder" on my skin. As another reviewer said, it is WEIGHTLESS and my skin looked flawless, with a hint of very natural sun-kissed glow. She then applied the peach blush (quad) and I could NOT believe how good I looked. Not "made-up" or make-up-y, but simply polished with a nice hint of sun. Both are more than I've ever spent on blush or bronzer but SO WORTH IT. (Key to application is using a feather-light fluffy brush.) Seriously, first time I can actually wear a bronzer. (Have also used the darker peach shade from the blush in the crease for eye shadow and it looks/feels lovely!) I feel very polished yet natural-looking in this and LOVE that it has no talc. 4 colors. All are very pretty.

Best bronzer ever!!!!!!!!!!
-07.29.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow, beautiful
This bronzes is amazing!!! I have been on the hunt now for years for a bronzed that isn't full of sparkle or RED!! I hate a RED looking bronzer... This is a lovely natural looking tan w a little glow to it but doesn't make u look like a disco ball in the sun. I had a rep from a saphora store apply half to my face and half of a different one which was still a little red but the closest match to a competitor I could find to my other half. Awesome results!!! I went around asking people which side of my face they liked more and everyone said the same thing, the givenchy side looked like a beautiful natural non red tan, and the other side was like an almost pretty makeupy looking bronzer so my point is that this product looks very natural and is in amazing colors, I will continue to buy!!!

Nice bronzer
-07.29.12
Quick Take: glowy w/h being sparkly, wheightless, too light, almost invisible to light skin tone
I liked the product because of its weightless feeling however, I had to exchange to a darker shade since the finish was pretty much invisible on my really light skin tone. It seemed more like a finishing powder instead of a bronzer so I got it in shade no 2 which I enjoy much more.

Givenchy Blushes have always been my favorite as I am very fair and prefer understated colors that glow and luminize and this Healthy Glow Powder is perfection especially since it is talc-free! My skin looks younger, clearer and with a healty glow that I just love!

Little-no difference
-06.12.12
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking, so subtle as to be nonexistent
I am very pale-I love the Givenchy foundation, as the lightest color they have is the only shade light enough for me. So when I buy a bronzed, I expect to see some bronzing; heck, if I buy pressed powder in the lightest shades in most brands, I see some bronzing.
I didn't necessarily want to look tan, but I couldn't tell that this product did anything. Not bad, just not really much of anything. If you are pale and want some bronzing effect, get at least the second shade.
Will be returning, thanks to Sephora's amazing return policy.

The perfect bronzer...!
-05.21.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous glow
This is the first bronzer I've ever used that doesn't look muddy, orange, or too dark and unnatural. It goes on without grabbing, or blotching, and the finish is soft. It gives a subtle glow, but if you're looking for obvious shimmer, this is not for you!
I can wear this first thing in the morning, and feel polished and healthy, not overly made-up.....it is wonderful...!
I ordered shade 3, and I'm contemplating the lightest shade to wear all over my face.....!

I bought this because it was talc-free, which is pretty hard to find in powdered makeup. The compact is beautiful and elegant- and I love the embossed pattern. However, I am not satisfied by the color selection. As a previous reviewer noted- 01 is so light, it is not discernable on light skin. However, 02 looks muddy on my complexion. I am still on the hunt for the perfect bronzer..

For the price, I want it to do something
-04.26.12
Quick Take: hardly noticable
I honestly dont see anything when I put this on. I am very fair, so I ordered color 1. It was like putting nothing on my face. I honestly dont notice any glow, or bronze or any color at all. Maybe a darker color would be better, I don't know. However even if you are pale as a ghost, dont get color 1 because it doesnt show up at all let alone bronze you.

The Best!!!
-03.16.12
I've used Givenchy Prisme blushes/powders for 20+ years. A woman in France told me to try them, I've never gone to anything else. This new formula is fabulous! Light can't see it at all and yet everyone tells me how great my skin looks or asks if I've been on vacation!! I'm ordering a second to have on hold when these sell out!
I use the Nars Orgasm blush on my apples/cheeks and this for contouring everywhere else.
I have light olive complexion and I ordered the 3 ambre.

Quick Take: long-lasting, glowing
Normally, you can tell when someone is wearing bronzer. This bronzer by Givenchy makes your tan look natural. Instead of looking orange, your skin looks sun kissed like you just got back from vacation. Absolutely adore it.
