I like this product. It's a multitask product. It's very useful. The pigmentation is great, it stays on and applies evenly. The price? very inexpensive

I really like this bronzer and have been using it for about 2 years now. I'm not that into bronzers, this is the only one that I have ever purchased and I don't do contouring or any of that. I just wanted something that I could lightly dust on my cheeks and nose to give a bit of glow and color and this is perfect for that. It's inexpensive, easy to apply and wear, and looks very natural. I also love that it doesn't have any shimmer in it!

I have been using Erno Lazlo mosaic bronzer for years but it has been discontinued. Found this which look similar in the drugstore. It's perfect even better than the EL and at $4.99 compared to $50.00 unbelievable. Don"t waste your money on expensive bronzers.

I bought this back in August. I don’t have much experience with bronzers, but I was looking for a nice, inexpensive, matte bronzer for contouring. The first day I tried it, it seemed like a pretty decent product. After using it for maybe a week, I really wasn’t all that impressed anymore (and I don’t have many other bronzers to compare it to). I get the impression that this face powder likes the pot it comes in and doesn’t want to meet new faces. I'm not concerned with pigmentation when I say that, I just find that it’s a little difficult to get a smooth application and can look splotchy on my face. (This powder is shy). However, when I can get it to look right, the color does look pretty natural.

I needed a matte bronzer/contour and found this. It has a mosaic of colors that you can blend together or decide to go darker/lighter by picking up powder in certain areas of the wheel.
Bought it at Target for less than $5.
I gave the packaging a 4 because it does have a removable lid. I prefer it to be like a compact where the top hinges open, but its no biggie.

I have searched the drugstore and department stores for many years looking for a believable bronzer. I've tried various brands and have not found one that I loved until I bought this. My main complaint about bronzer is all the darn glitter and sparkles in it, they look terrible on my skin because it makes it appear oily and fake. This bronzer has zero shimmer! Score! The shade is a very natural bronze for any skin tone because there is a mosaic of different shades that you blend together and it never looks streaky! It is pigmented and lasts throughout my day, I apply it in the morning and have been using it for months, but you can hardly tell because there's not a dent in product! Talk about a lot of bang for your buck. I rave about this stuff to friends and it is a must have, I'm thinking of buying the mosaic blush next!

I have a neutral skin tone and am currently slightly tan from the nice weather we have been having and I am a bronzer fanatic. However I am tired of spending large sums of money on it. This lead me to the drugstore, where I found this. I am extremely impressed. I had just bought "Too Faced" Chocolate Soleil bronzer and I must say I like this better. Its inexpensive, good amount of product, buttery smooth, and it gives a very believable tan.
There is no shimmer and that's what I was looking for. I have my shimmer bronzers for certain occasions and my matte for everyday where and this has become my go to bronzer. I gave it a 3 for packaging because you do get quiet a bit of product however the lid is not secured to the base in any twist on or snap shut form. But overall I will definitely keep repurchasing can't rave enough about it.

This powder pretty good for the tiny price but it doesnt go well with my olive skin. It has too much of a red undertone to look natural on me. I kinda looks like i a have a bit of a sunburn. But its pretty good.

I use this product for contouring, its awesome. Its very matte, and very pigmented. Havent broken out, and for the price, you do get a decent amount of product. Ive been using it daily for almost 5 months and it looks like i just bought it.

I got this product on clearance for $0.25 so I had to buy it. I love that the product is matte and it's very pigmented. However, I have fair-medium skin so I have to be carefully not to apply too much bronzer at once. It's build-able and fairly easy to blend. I usually use it to contour my nose and it goes a great job without looking so fake.

Love this bronzer! I am an NC42ish skintone, and this looks great on my skin. It's a matte brown with a slight hint of pink that really gives a sunkissed look. I use it on my cheeks and brush a little on my chin, forehead and bridge of my nose just to add a little colour to my face (esp in the winter). It's great for those 'no makeup' type days, very natural and subtle :) And I only paid about $5 for it at Walmart -- good price.

Hands down one of the best bronzers that I own. First of all you can not beat the price, i believe I only paid 3 dollars for this product. It is a matte brown, not orangy at all!! Perfect for every skin tone because it is buildable. One of my all time favorite products!

Awesome bronzer for an afforable price. It isn't orange and it's matte so nothing really to complain about. Worth checking out!

I got this on clearance at CVS. I really like it! It's matte and the colors don't show up orange like. I do the E3 method when bronzing my face and I have to say this is the most natural look bronze color I have in my collection. I definitely recommend!

This bronzer is barely darker than my skintone (NC42-NC44) so I mainly use it as an all over face powder. I wish it was darker so that I could contour with it. It would probably work alot better on lighter skintones.

OMG! I love this bronzer powder! I am a really pale person, and sometimes, I would love to have that nice sun-kissed glow to my face. This is what this product gives me, without looking orange like an oompa loompa.

This product is perfect for really pale people who want a nice sun-kissed tan-ish glow to their face. This product doesn't have any shimmer in it, but it still gives you that nice tan look. Its also pigminted, but not too pigminted. One thing though is that this product only lasts for about 4-5 hours.

And also, its VERY affordable! It costs about $3 (tax already included).

So yes, I would buy this product over and over again!

I have used this for quite some time and I don't love it for any specific reason... it's ok and I will keep using it. I don't see anything wrong with it except for the lid which makes me nervous but has not slipped off yet. i'm just paranoid because if it DID open in my bag or something it would be super messy. there is no shimmer in this, so i think that's why i like it and won't buy another bronzer just yet.. i just like having the contouring ability without the in-your-face jennifer lopez glow. also, it is pretty yellow, which works for me because i have the yellowest undertones on the planet.

If you are a tanner who has naturally pinky-blue pale skin, this product is AWESOME.
Even though I have a pretty rich tan I still tend to be a bit on the cooler-side and I have cool-toned hair and a cool eye color so this product just works awesome for contouring.

I don't really need a bronzer but I do need to tone my tan sometimes and a very light application of this brings a lot of balance to my face. It looks best IMO in either direct sun or "bar/club/night out" light. Yellowy indoor light can be kind of unflattering to this makeup and brings out the reddish tone of it more in my opinion.

However it does break easily when dropped! Found out the hard way.

Will definitely repurchase. Great for contouring and worth it for the price.

pretty good considering its really cheap I love that its matte and I don't look shiny and orange after using this! its really pigmented so a little goes a long way. It does last a really long time so its totally worth a try because its just so darn cheap! (i think i picked it up for less than 2 bucks) I think it could be great, just not on me... I have yellow undertones and its a bit too dark and a bit red for me for a bronzer so i use it sometimes for contouring and i like it a lot better for that! i only use a very tiny amount and it looks nice, but i'll have to try out the other color combos they have because I do like the texture and quality. If you're a medium to dark complexion, i'd say it would be fine for you but med-light to fair skip this one!
