LOVE IT! I have fair skin, (similar in tone to Reese Witherspoon if I had to compare), and it works perfectly without being fake looking. My husband always says nice things about me when I wear this...like, "wow, you look great." He has no idea it's the bronzer...whenever I wear it, he notices that "glow!" This is my secret.

I used these religiously when a girlfriend of mine was selling Mary Kay. I am very fair with pink undertones and have a hard time finding a bronzer that doesn't make me look ruddy, orange or just dirty. However, these beads did just the trick. From what I remember they were more expensive for Mary Kay (Maybe around $20) but they lasted forever and gave me the most natural, sun kissed glow. I loved that the little beads were different colors and had different levels of intensity and shimmer. The color really blends effortlessly into the face and isn't too dark or concentrated in certain areas. I have since started to using Guerlain's Meteorites in Beige Chic (adore these, but they're pricey). Still, if I was in need of a good bronzer I'd go back to these in a heart beat.

I'm usually not a fan of Mary Kay cosmetics, but found this bronzer and love it! The color is a very natural look, and compliments any skin tone. If applied with a blush brush, you can use it as a normal blush, and with a powder blush you can use it as bronzer for your face and your body. While I think the packaging could be improved since it can get a little messy, the color is beautiful and luminescent.

Beautiful luminous bronzing/highlighting beads. I use them in the summer over my self-tanner for an all-over glow on the face, neck, chest. Fine sparkle but does not make fine lines look more noticeable. Adds nice color even at end or beginning of summer when pale. Never dirty or too dark. Buildable.

Most bronzers are too much for my pale skin, but these beads work great! Another plus is that they last FOREVER! I've been using mine since November, and I still have a ton left!

This is the first bronzer I've tried that doesn't look to orange or muddy on my super fair skin. I love it! It has a tiny bit of shimmer and I apply it using a loose powder brush on my forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. WAY better than the Bobbi Brown and MAC bronzers that are now collecting dust in my bathroom!

GIve the skin a nice glow w/o being orange! I think, however, that for how much you recieve, it is a tad bit too much money. The physicians formula brand I feel gives you the exact same product for a cheaper price. BUt, if you love MK Items, I'd definitely scoop this up!

MK Bronzing Beads gives you a nice glow without being orange or fake looking. Its very buildable so you can use a little or a lot. I also use it as a blush from time to time.

I use this product all year long (except when Im ghostly white and tanning bed free). It gives my face an extra glow and really brings out the tan--without making me look fake or orange. I would recommend this to anyone who is not fair skined.

I like using the Bronzing beads much better than using normal blushes. I can add a little color to my cheeks but not look fake. The only thing I hate is when beads fall out of the container. I've found a few rolling around my bathroom other than that I love them.

MK's Bronzing Beads give a shimmery natural glow to your skin. I've been given compliments when I've worn it usually saying that I look good and they didn't know what was different.

I've thrown out all of my blushes and will only use the bronzing beads all year round now! They last forever, give you that sun kissed look, and are great on your collar bone and chest. In the summer, I just apply it a little heavier. Very easy and quick to use. And, if realy in a hurry to do your makeup, use an eye brush and use the beads on your eyelids. Gorgeous! If they ever discontinue these, I think that I would cry! Get them on Ebay...much cheaper.

I love, love, love this product! These bronzing beads are absolutely perfect! Bronzing beads, some lipgloss and a coat of mascara and you'll be good to go! These are great for anyone and everyone! I use mine as an all over face powder because I like to have a glow, but you could also use this as a blush or go for a heavier application and use it as an eyeshadow.. And then you'll look fab darling just fab!

Ok I am so addicted to this stuff right now! It gives my otherwise pale face a pretty, bronze glow.. It sucks to be all pale and live in Cali.. I swear I would cry if I lost it. Oh and BTW.. some people think you're supposed to use the sponge inside to apply.. that's just to hold the beads in place and keep em from breaking. Use a makeup brush. I got mine from Mary Kay for $4! I wanna try Sephora's bronzing brush though.. half the price of Nars's.

I tried this at my friends house and it made me look somewhat diseased. Not exactly the look i was going for! I'll still give it 4 lipsticks, since it looks good on my friend!

I LOVE the MK bronzing beads. I'm quite fair and I find them to be the perfect tone of "sun kissed" to make me look healthy, but not muddy. They aren't too orange, not too brown. Just perfect for me. I used to use Guerlain prior to findind this less expensive alternative.
