This is so nice of a bronzer. I used to fave Hoola but this is my new everyday bronzer. The packaging is so good. I love all the details and the fact that it is 4 shades makes my life easier. It will be great on any complexion!
It is all matte which is a plus because it is also excellent for countour my cheek bones and nose. I got it at Walgreens for 40% off which at the end it was an excellent prize!

I don't mind this product. I had been using an INglot bronzer which has now been discontinued. I bought this on sale for around $24Au, but I think the normal cost is $34au - which I think is expensive for a drug store brand.
It is a nice matt finish and I do love the four colours. I tend to swirl the brush accross all four shades. If I want a more definate contour, the darkest shade is perfect. overall a pretty good bronzer, but a little expensive I think.
Would definately pick up again (only when it's on special though).
OMG I love this bronzer sooo much!! The only other bronzer I own is the Benefit Hoola Bronzer, which is really pretty and a nice yellow toned brown color for contouring but at $30 I am actively searching for a better bronzer...
I ended up picking up the Revlon Photoready Bronzer at Target on clearance for $7.29!!!
Pros:
Four matte shades (can mix and match)
So natural but great pigment
Long lasting
Can be used for bronzey glow or contouring
No parabens!!
Cons:
Wish the quadrants were all bigger :(

Love this bronzer It works great for contouring or applied under my blusher. It does not chalk up on my skin and it last all day. I really love the color pay off, it is very pigmented so I do not need alot on my brush and is totally affortable.

My new staple. I dropped and broke my Nars Laguna and not wanting to spend $40 on a bronzer, I purchased this at Walgreens. Love it!!! No shimmer, no muddy effect, just a nice natural tanned colour. The product is finely milled and easy to blend, and I happen to love the packaging, which includes a nice-sized mirror and small brush. I use a large brush but in a pinch, believe it or not, the little brush works quite well! Nice work Revlon!

For me bronzer is pretty goof proof because I am pretty tanned (NW35) and every other bronzer I own (and i have a ton, don't ask me why) is not pigmented or dark enough to make a significant impact on my skin unless I really buff it on. The first time I used this, I swirled together all four colors with the dense small blusher brush i use for contouring and applied it with the heavy handed approach I normally use with my bronzers confident that I would need to layer on the color for the it to show up and woah nelly was that a mistake. I came away w/ a very muddy looking darkly contoured cheek like the poster child for contouring gone wrong. I have since learned to completely avoid the last darkest shade of the quad and use only the others w/ a light hand.
Long story short - this is a good decently priced matte bronzer thats EXTREMELY pigmented (this could be a bad thing depending on your skill level), it does not pull orange but its very easy to make mistakes and can look muddy. People w/ fair skin could probably only use the lightest of the 4 shades and a light and practiced hand would be needed. Beginners beware!
Beautiful bronzing product.Color comes out exactly the way I like.I was thinking it was going to look really dark,etc.It didn't!

I like matte bronzers and have been impressed with a lot of revlon products lately which is why I bought this. Its an ok product but I doubt I will repurchase it. The color looks a bit muddy on me and was a tad hard to blend. Sometimes I could get it to look fairly good and other times not. On darker skin it may look better. For me it was also not a great bronzer for contouring, a bit too warm. My biggest gripe though is that I purchased two of these at the same time I was so sure I would love this product and both of the bronzers broke into pieces when there was still 1/3rd of product left just from carrying around in my bag. I did like that there were different shades in one compact and that they were divided into large enough sections that I could use just one. Not a horrible product but I've used better.
I highly reccomend this to anyone who tried NYX Taupe for contouring without success. I found Taupe to be a little "dirty" looking, not a good look for me. For reference (if I wore MAC) I'd be between NC10-15 (I'm typically the 1st or 2nd foundation shade -whichever has warmer undertones)
I recently received a $5 off Revlon face product in the mail & had heard good things about this so only paid $6 (yay!) -however I would pay full price now that I know how much I love it, and I do plan to repurchase when I run out :)
I prefer my actual "bronzer" to have a little shimmer to it (Rimmel Sun Light is what I've used all summer) & this bronzer is completely matte so is perfect for contouring (in my opinion at least ;D)
When you open the compact (the rather LARGE compact I may add.. ugh -why do companies need to make packaging so bulky??) -It comes with a brush (the same brush that comes with the Revlon PhotoReady Pressed Powder -if you're familiar..) It's not a *bad* brush(when you consider most scratchy brushes that come with drugstore products) but I'd definately reccomend using a different brush if you have a nicer one available to you :)
The bronzer is in a circular "palette" form, and is 4 different colors around. Top right is the lightest, bottom right is the darkest (think NARS Laguna minus the glitter/shimmer..) and the 2 on the left are medium brown colors that are just a *tad* different than eachother and close in color to NYX Taupe (I compared side by side) but Revlon's are just a bit lighter & also much more warm toned. All 4 are totally matte though which is what drew me to this in the first place! In my experience, matte bronzers can be tough to come by -they all seem to have glitter/shimmer/sheen or something to them, so even though this is $11-12 USD & seems expensive in comparison to NYC & Rimmel for a drugstore bronzer, it's definately worth the money because there are many ways to use this :)
