Warm deep colors that are insanely pigmented! I use the 2 darkest colors from morning to night in different ways and it gives me a believable glow without looking cheaply orange.

OMG I have both the Honey matte and Amber matte and they are soooo gorgeous and MATTE. the honey matte is a bit more ashy and nice for contouring and the Amber matte is a bit more peachy so i just use it as a blush/ bronzer...

Very friendly Dior SA applied color 002 all over my face, neck and around my cheeks with a fluffy brush. It gave me a beautiful natural glow even though it doesn't have any shimmer and looked great as a blush. But since I wanted something a little darker for contouring and to use for summer, I purchased 003 Amber Matte. It definitely not too dark for winter, gives me beautiful matte finish.

OMG! I love this bronzer so much! I don't really use bronzers because I tan very easily, but because I have been embracing my tan lately, I wanted to try something that would neutrally warm up my cheeks, give me a nice warm glow (but without the sparkles) and that I could also use as a contour in the winter- and so I did a little research on recommended matte bronzers. I found some positive reviews on this bronzer as well as other ones, but I decided to try this one first. So glad I did. Its hard for me to find a bronzer during the summer time because I can get very dark (NC40-45 in summer) and most bronzers either oxidize in a weird orange color, look too ashy, or blend in too well with my skin. I am currently an NC42 and I got this one in Spicy Tan 004. It gives me just the right amount of color. A bit steep on the price range, but it is so worth it. It lasts the whole day and doesn't oxidize.

This is likely to become my HG bronzer. It's very finely milled and it's not too orange/dark for my fair skin with pink undertones (I have it in healthy matte 001 - the lightest shade). And it's matte! Not that it's keeping my oilies at bay, but I didn't buy it for that purpose. At first I really wanted to buy Dior Aurora but it has way too much shimmer to my liking - having oily skin I am not looking for shimmery finish. I use it for both contouring and all-over tan (including my neck). It's very easy to blend and it stays on the whole day even though my skin is quite oily and I have troubles with foundation/powder/blush actually still being there by the end of the day. This one has a very good staying power and so far no breakouts (have been using it for 3 weeks). I am impressed! One lippie off for packaging - how come there is no brush to it? I normally don't use these brushes anyway but just a minor point :-)

I have this in shade 2, my skin is between NC25 to 30. I normally like to use bronzers for contouring only. I am afraid of putting it all over becos if it oxidizes (happens so often with my oily skin and other bronzers), I will go all orange like oompa loompa. So far (1 week of daily use), I did not notice it going orange, so great. As contour powder, the pigmentation is light enough (not sheer, just light) for me to control the intensity very easily. There are some bronzers, that looks muddy once you start to build intensity, but with this, no muddy look at all. It blends soooo nicely, no streaky look, and the color really does give me a natural tan or shadow look (sorry if this does not make sense, I mean the shadow below my cheek bones so to make my cheeks less fat). PLUS there is no schimmer or glitter, so I really can build this up without looking overly shiny. It is a really lovely powder, but seriously expensive (I paid 44Euros). I am enjoying every application, but I think I won't rebuy anytime soon because this one is gonna last me ages.

if your fair like me and find it hard wearing Bronzer then you should really try this out.........i wear honey matt it looks so natural lasts all day it as a spf of 20 so it's great for the summer and belive it or not this does a better job of keeping my t-zone oil free then any blotting papers or any powders i have ever found. it's very expensive for me but it's worth saving for :)

I'm about an N10-15 and I have this in Healthy Matte (the lightest shade) and I really feel this is a great match. Doesn't turn me orange, it's the perfect shade for porcelain skin like mine. Very finely milled and easily blended, I use it as a light contour. The packaging feels nice and sturdy. Highly recommend!

I wear this in Honey Matte and it's perfect for contouring my face. It doesn't have any shimmer and doesn't look orange at all.

This bronzer is amazing. It blends well and gives my skin a flawless beautiful finish. I was specifically looking for a bronzer with no shimmer and this one is perfect. I also love that it has SPF. It feels amazing on my skin and sometimes I just wear this and no foundation. I use a kabuki brush to apply. Definately will repurchase.

This is a fantastic product, its compact, has a mirror on the lid and generally looks fantastic on. I will definitely try this product again! Doesnt last quite as long as I would have hoped, I have it just under two months and I can already see the end of the box :( seeing as I would only wear it about 3 times a week on average, thats not too great - but hey, its a small enough box so it cant last forever!

I really love this! A beautiful matte bronzer in natural, flattering shades. Out of the box, it comes with a velvet "Christian Dior" pouch which is very pretty. The bronzer is quite pigmented so I apply with a loose, medium sized powder brush. The packaging is also very elegant, reminds me of the material they use for some big, vintage plastic-rimmed sunglasses.

This is a really nice bronzer and i love the matte effect and that it has no shimmer! I have used it on holiday in place of foundation for a teeny bit of coverage and colour and it worked quite well. It is expensive though and there are lots of other matte bronzers available so i would not purchase again.

I really wanted to like this bronzer but it gave me HORRIBLE ACNE! I only used it twice and both times I woke up the next day with the worst breakouts of my life. I have searched for the ingredients but they are not posted on Dior's website or any website for that matter (which I really don't like!).

I am running low on bronzers and decided to purchase another one for myself -- but ideally wanted something with spf so that my melasma spots which are under my cheekbones, are 1) disguised a bit .. 2) protected somewhat more from the sun.

I found this one and am in lust yet again. It is matte. It is a great color (02) for my pale skin and does manage to disguise my melasma quite nicely.
It has spf 20 which is a perfect marriage of bronze and protection for me.

love it and will buy again!

nc37, asian, with yellow undertones. i love this bronzer because it has no shimmer and isn't a flat brown. it's hard to say what the color looks like because everyone uses words like "glow" ... "golden" and so on... but that doesn't say much about the color. i use this bronzer mostly in my fall and winter months and it warms up my skin. i have amber matte and dust it on the outter rim of my face and cheeks. the color looks exactly like the swatch shown above and compliments my yellow undertones. it shows up SUPER subtle but gives me a nice healthy kick to my winter days.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'm switching to something with more color payoff... dior spicy tan.

2. Because it has spf
3. It makes me look HOT lol
Okay I bought this at sephora not too long ago nd it's gettin low hehe I seriously use this almost everyday it also works great as a blush or to sculpt your cheeks. Doesn't make me look orange or muddy it's a very awesome product! BTW I have this in Amber Matte.

Stunning bronzer. I'm an NC30 and bought this in Amber Matte 03. I thought that would be too dark on me in winter but in fact it's perfect - adds a bit of warmth and color without looking orange or baked. I'm glad I didn't go with Honey, my first choice, because I think it might have been too light. Wearing bronzer in winter can work as long as I keep it matte and very subtle and this has completely perked up my sallow November complexion. I highly recommend this. I tend to consider Dior a *dull* brand but this silky, natural-looking bronzer has blown away most of my others.

This is my favorite Bronzer, it always makes my skin look like really healthy and natural, no shimmer. It doesn't dry my skin, no breakouts.
I love the SPF 20 on it, is the bronzer I use the most lately, after Guerlain #2 (but this one has no sun protection).
Thanks Dior for such a great bronzer :)
