I scored this magnificent bronzer at 50% regular price; so basically, it was $10(CAD). I wouldn't have bought it otherwise, but now that I've used it, I'll gladly repurchase it at full price if need be. I chose the "sunlight" shade, which is for medium to dark skin tones. I have olive skin with a year round tan. This bronzer adds extra oomph and contours my face nicely, without looking obvious and/or overwhelming. The shimmer particles are very slight and nothing too extravagant. It helps that this bronzer has an added golden section, your bronzing brush will pick up both pigments and mixed together, it's very flattering. I promise you, this does not look orange on me at all! It's perfect!

This is a lovely bronzer, I would totally reccommend those with oily skin to use this product if you are looking for a bronzer. It really contures the face without causing future breakouts.

I have fair skin that is sensitive and usually dry. I had first purchased the Sephora brand bronzer in the gold compact and it broke out my skin terribly. I saw this in CVS and decided to get it since there was a $4 coupon attached to the box. I had planned on purchasing the Cashmere Wear one but I could tell right away that one wouldn't work for me. I bought this one in the light shade and as the spring turns into summer I might go for the darker color. I love this one because it adds a subtle touch of shimmer without making my face look like a disco ball. It looks soft and natural on and it doesn't break out my skin at all.

Im not too crazy about packaging and it would be nice if it came with a mirror but other than that, this is my first bronzer and I love it. It has just enough shimmer not too much, lasts all day, evens out my skin, doesn't feel heavy, it gives me that sexy summer glow all year around the price is good since it lasts all day overall I would buy this product again I am in love with it and you guys have to try it

i purchased this in "starlight" for medium skintones. this is actually quite a sheer bronzer that would be very suitable to just add some slight warmth to pale skintones. this barely shows up on my nc25 asian skin. this will not give you a really bronzed or contoured look. the centre of the pan is the shimmer powder - it is very subdued shimmer because it is so tightly pressed that it is hard for a brush to grab. the bronzer itself is slightly shimmery (hardly detectable on the skin) with strong golden hues. i personally enjoy a bit of a deeper more pigmented bronzer on the face so i probably wouldn't repurchase. i mainly use it to contour my nose because it's sheer and looks more natural. this is a decent quality product, it really depends on how you like to apply your bronzer.

I just got this bronzer and I can't say I like it too much. I think I may have bought a shade too light because it doesn't really show on my skin. I am really pale right now since it's fall, unfortunately, so I thought it would show, but it doesn't! So I'm a little dissapointed.

I like that it is pale and has two tones and some gold shimmer so you can blend accordingly and it doesn't look orange. I don't use bronzer often but this one is good, I don't like to look very dark bronze (it looks fake since I'm pale) but I like a soft sunny glow. The packaging seems to be a little bit flimsy, some of my other Physician's Formula products have broken before. Also I know that its price tag which is in the teens it is cheaper than a product at Sephora would be, but for a drugstore product that is a bit pricey. It looks good though.

I have this in Starlight and this will be my HG bronzer for forever! I have NC30-35 Asian skin and I bought this bronzer about two years ago after reading reviews on here. I have since hit a large amount of pan on it and I will buy this again. It has a soft and silky texture and it's pretty sheer so it's really buildable. The center is a shooting star and it's pretty chalky, but it adds just a tiny bit of shimmer that is barely noticeable. The bronzer itself is semi-matte - it looks pearly in the pan, but on the skin it only has a *slight* glow on it that transfers on my face as mostly matte but healthy looking.

Since this shade is just a little bit darker than my skin, I can use this all over my face for a healthy glow, or I can add more in an E3 shape around my face and it can build up to make me look sunkissed. It lasts all day and it never looks orange or streaky or muddy for me.

I also like the packaging of this better than other PF products since it isn't bulky and doesn't include the useless brush. I don't mind that it doesn't have a mirror since I don't need to touch up with it. I would recommend this to everyone since it comes in three shades!

This color is a bit too brown for my very pale skin. Otherwise I like it: shimmer is not overwhelming and the color is not too intense but buildable.

Wouldn't recommend for pale girls like myself. I have to keep it very, very light to seem natural.

This bronzer is awesome! I bought it in 'Sunlight' and I love it. It has a very natural look, not orangey at all! It has just the right hint of shimmer, without looking glittery. All in all it gives me a healthy summer glow. As a sidenote, I think the packaging is super cute! Although it's a tad on the spendy side, I think it's worth it. New HG!
