A sales rep at Sephora recommended this to me and just looking at the product in the package, I was skeptical. It looked too orange and muddy for my fair, cool toned skin. But, since I had time to kill, I let her put it on me. Boy, was I wrong! It gives me a fresh flush and the perfect hint of color--it's not too orange or muddy at all. The texture is great and it looks good for hours. I use the skunk brush to apply and it goes on easily. I also love that there is no shimmer at all. My pores are large and things with shimmer don't work for me at all. I also really love the packaging. The mirror size is great and I love that it turns around.

I really like this duo! First, I tried using the bronzer part as a contour, but I found that it turned a little orange (for some reason, bronzers/contours have a tendency to turn orange on me when placed near my hairline and jawline). So I use it just as a regular bronzer instead and it works great like that! The blush side is also really pretty. Both sides are very creamy and don't have any shimmer, which I like. I also love the packaging!

I have both Sunset and the other one, Bronze Light. Just an FYI that both duos have the same bronzer color- the only difference is sunset has a blush while Bronze Light has a highlighter. I think both duos are more suited for warm skintones as the bronze side leans a tiny bit orange.

I love love love this bronzer/blush duo in sunset!! I was afraid to get this at first because so many bronzers look muddy...But not this one. I am mac NW35 to give you a skin tone guide. I have hyper pigmentation too and this still looks great and goes on very nice and smooth. The price seems a bit high but a little goes along way. So the value on this is awesome.

The packaging is beautiful. The price is not high if you break this down into two pans which are contained in the beautiful case. Would I buy this product again? Absolutely yes.

And the reasons are as follow:

1. This is a double pan bronzer. The bronzer side is not an orangey or brown shade, but a lovely bronze which has NO shimmer. It applies like a dream either with your fingers or with a skunk brush and the color payoff is superb -- it does make you look bronzed without the any cakiness or powdery effect. Application is dreamy and durability is excellent.

2. The second pan is a deeper pink/coral cream which when applied gives you immediate healthy skin. It works alone as a great pinky/corally cream blush or as a base for a soft coral or pink powder blush.

3. The price if broken down per pan is not at all high -- works out to $ 20 per pan.

4. The packaging is innovative and easy to access as there are no screw on tops or lids... the top is a mirror which swings around and gives you access to the products.

5. This is a fantastic product for travelling -- it has what you need to look great. The mirror is large and you can see your whole face.

all in all, a worthwhile and beautiful product for looking healthy and gorgeous all year round.
