This is a fabulous stain! I thought it would end up being like Benetint(hated it) but it's great! It comes in a nailpolish type bottle with a built in brush that makes it so easy to use! And the color lasted all day! I used a little Mac Clear Lipglass over it and WOW was it georgous! It's not a stronge bronze though,,,it's more like Plummy color with bronze in it. I have'nt tried it on my cheeks cuz I don't usually wear really strong colors on my cheeks, so I'm no help there. But I may try it sometime just to know. =)
