I don't use this as a bronzer, or as a finishing powder. I use at as blush, to coordinate with warm eyeshadow (browns) and lipstick (red/taupe). I swirl the brush around to catch a mixture of all three colors, tap to remove excess, and apply to cheekbones. I can also sweep it across my upper eye area (crease and brow bone) in lieu of eyeshadow. It makes my light colored skin look brighter with a natural glow but without looking tan or orange-y. Also, skin looks luminous but not at all shiny. I use MAC blush (various pinks) to coordinate with cool eyeshadow, but this is my go-to for warm colors.

It was kinda difficult to use, the product spills easily but I can work with it. Mine was a little bit too dark though. Other brands are better.

i bought it just this past weekend only because the compact comes with a brush. its hard to find a powder compact with a brush and i like using a brush for touch ups during the day. however this powder made my face all dry and only 2 days of use and im starting to break out already. returning it for a full refund!

I was skeptical at first, the 'light' colors is too light and the dark color is too dark, but the 3 colors blend beautifully and create a great natural bronze color. Not orange or overtly shimmery.
I will not buy this again though. After its been used many times and all that is left of the product is what remains around the pan perimeter, I get the feeling that it would be a pain, if not nearly impossible to 'blend' all of the colors. I haven't gotten that far with this product, but I can just see that happening and I absolutly try to use every last bit of any product I try (especially for a $20 bronzer!)
Whats ESPECIALLY irritating is Shiseidos practice of selling the powder pans separate from the compacts. I HATE that! The pans don't always 'stay' in the compacts, and will fall out without warning....disaster waiting to happen! Of course this is easily remedied with some super glue.....but COME ON! I have to pay an extra $10 to assemble my own makeup? I dont dig it.

Iīve tried but it looks fake on me. I must blend carefully and lots to make it look just ok. I donīt get the brush, It looks worse if I use it.

A very nice bronzer indeed. Great on the skin, no allergy for me which is rare. Lovely color, it looks so great and natural looking. The three color there allows to mix and match your own color as some period we are less/ more tan than usual. I even use those colors on my eyes when I am aiming for a more natural make up look. The dark one on my eye lid and the white one as the highlighter near the eyebrow. It is a must in my make up when I go on holiday/ trip. I use a bigger brush at home but their own brush is great for travel. Very soft brush.

I bought this bronzer only because it did not have any shimmer in it, and it is hard to find a shimmer-free bronzer these days. I am happy with it overall. It is nice that it has three colours in it, so I can highlight some areas of my face and then put the darker shade on my cheeks. It gives a natural brownish glow, and matches the rest of my body (I use Lancome's self-tanner). The only thing that I am not so happy about is that I suspect that it may be too heavy for my oily face. I use Duo powder foundation by Make up 4 ever, and it is pretty good in controling oil. Well, when I put Shiseido's bronzer over it I have to blot my face more often. I may try to put the Duo powder first, then the bronzer, and then the powder again to help with the oil problem, and see what happens. Overall, I am pleased with how natural the bronzer looks on me. I tried a ton of other bronzers (Clinique, Estee Lauder, Bobby Brown, Guerlain, MAC, etc.), and everything else looks either too orange or too red on my face and does not match the rest of my body. Maybe, I should have tried Lancome, since I use their self-tanner on my body, but I absolutely can't put any Lancome's product on my face because it breaks me out. As to breakouts, I found that so far Shiseido's bronzer has not done any harm to my skin, which is a good thing.

at first i really liked this trio of bronze powders because of the different shades. i do like the lightest one to set my concealer though. but, as far as the bronze color, i will not repurchase because it gives me a bronze that does not match the rest of me. this powder gives more of a brown. i use the tantowel self-tanner, plus the coppertone gradual tan. those products used together gives my neck and body a gorgeous just-at-the-beach bronze. but my face never tans, so its as white as a ghost. this luminizing powder does not match my neck, so it makes my face look awkwardly brown compared to the rest of me. i even tried pairing this powder with shiseido's luminizing brush powder in bronze (the tube with the retractable brush thing) in order to make it match my bronzed body more. but alas, it has failed as well. still looking for my hg =( if u are more of a brown than a bronze, definitely try this and i think u may like it!

If you buy the brozer, you have to buy the compact holder separately which can be pricey purchase. I liked this bronzer in the beginning because it was the perfect shade of bronze, very natural looking. But it ran out very quickly and for some reason, as it dwindled down, it did so unevenly so I was left with an unequal distribution of the 3 colors which didnt look even anymore on my face. I wouldnt buy it again because its too pricey, doesnt last as long and I found a better bronzer for a lot less.

I use this bronzer everyday, and I absolutely love it. It has three colors that blend together to complement your skin tone, and that allows you to use it anytime of year. I definitely recommend it!

This is my hg bronzer! I love it! I love how its gives a great golden color to my skin esp. when my tan skin is light in the fall and winter. Applies really well. Not too dark, doesn't streak, and is gentle to my skin. Plus, it doesn't break out my sensitive skin. Must have hands down.

Really nice product. Not too dark or light, and not too brown or orange. Very natural if applied lightly. (I have medium yellow skin with olive undertones.) I didn't think of this as a bronzer until the salesgirl suggested it. I like how the 3 triangles of color can be used individually to suit my moods. There is no noticeable shimmer, but it imparts a great glow. No itching or bumps on my acne and itch-prone skin.

This product is nice, but not necessarily nice enough to repurchase. There are 3 different colours on the powder, and the powder can therefore be difficult to apply evenly. When I do get an even application though, it does look great. Comes with its own brush, but dont usually use it.
