This is a nice lipstick, on me it’s a MLBB color with a hint of metallic shimmer. The name of the color is misleading, I don’t see much bronze in it at all, more nude peachy pink. It doesn’t have any special lasting abilities, and it’s not super glossy. It is fairly average but not in a bad way. There are so many different lipsticks out there that I doubt that I would buy this again. However, I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed if I received this in one of the Bonus Time gifts.

Beautiful color and creamy texture!! I got this in a GWP thinking it was just a filler product for Clinique to get rid off, but instead its a nice pinkish lipstick with gold hue which is versatile enough to pass for pink, peach, brick terracotta color, or even red clothing. This is enough color stain on the lips throughout the day. Im glad I got this. I probably will not purchase since its not a wow shade, definitely enough dupes out there.

I received this as a gift with purchase ages ago. I tossed it into my makeup drawer, not giving it much thought.
The other day, I was going for a natural, beachy vibe, came across this and thought, "Why not?"
WOW - I *adore* this lipstick. How could I not have tried it sooner? It's the perfect bronze-nude shade with a touch of pink. (Often I find that bronze lipsticks resemble the color of new pennies and they contrast hideously with my skin tone.) This shade is just right, and the texture is amazing too. Usually I have to apply gloss and/or balm with my lipsticks (even the higher-end ones like Chanel), but I can wear this lippie by itself and my lips feel moisturized.
Another thing worth mentioning - something about this color & the amount of shimmer create fuller-looking, pouty lips. Always a plus in my book.

rave! rave! rave! my secret to a PERFECT nude lip! I have rather pigmented lips so if I dont use a primer, light colors still end up looking dark. what I do is use elf's eyeshadow primer BEFORE putting this on. And voila! pink, lips that look good with smokey eye.

I received this lipstick as part of my gift with purchase at Macy's and it looks very pretty! It' adds a nice, bronzy shine to your lips and makes me look more tanned. I can't wait to buy a full sized one of these!

I got this at the clinique counter as part of my gwp, it was a mini lipstick and lipgloss together in one tube. Let me just say that I love the idea of a little lipstick and a lipgloss attached to each other with a coordinating shade. Genius I tell you, this color on me is a pretty peachy, bronzy pink. It gives you that pop of color with out screaming look at me look at me, and the gloss it came with was airkiss, the two together look soo good, I would in all seriousness buy these if clinique came out with them. And now its made me want to try the different lipsticks because the texture is soo soft, smooth and creamy.

Love love love this lipstick~ this is probably my favourite. The colour is a soft pastel pink and it gives a very feminine look. I got it as a gift from the bonus so I don't know about the actual price, but the colour is just so lovely! One little thing that I'm iffy about is that it's not very long lasting, so you have to keep reapplying it .

I have found my MLBB shade! Plus, I got this as a GWP! The only problem I have with this is its a little dry if I don't apply lip balm before this. I also wish that it was the silver tube rather than the green one, but thats negligible compared with how perfect this shade is for me.

I generally like the Different lipsticks since they apply smoothly and are very moisturizing, and Think Bronze is no different. I got this in a GWP and I love it! It's a total MLBB shade. I actually like the sheerness of it as it allows me to control how much I want to apply.

This is a beautiful color but I'm not crazy about this type of lipstick. It's a sheer lipstick but it doesn't moisturize like some of the others do. The color looks great on pale skin but I wish it didn't dry out as much.

Got this as a GWP, and I like it a lot. When my eyes are smokey, this a great lipstick that's not too drastic. Looks great on my tan skin.

This is a neutral tone rosy pink with shimmer. Not good at all on me.
I have very pigmented lips and this just makes them look
more purplish. I stay with more orangish or coral lipsticks.

I don't look good in any kind of pink. I find this very bland and
ordinary, nothing special at all. If you want a plain average
pink with shimmer that almost looks nude (clear, no pigment)
this is it. Nothing bronze about it at all
except the way it appears in the tube a bit.

I got this in a gift about 2 years back and now it's all i use! the shade flatters my skintone perfectly and no matter how chapped my lips are it still comes on like butter and it makes my lips look smooth and healthy.

I feel like one of the lone dissenters, being of pale skin and eye, but I just don't like Think Bronze. I agree that it is more pinky-peach than bronze, but it contains too much gold to flatter my skin tone. Also, after it's been sitting undisturbed on my lips for a while, it looks dry.


The strange thing is that when I take the lipstick off with a tissue and makeup remover, what's on the tissue is a medium pink. It looks nothing like it does in the tube or on my lips. If I could get it to look like that on my lips, I'd keep it! But then there's the fact that it contains shimmer. Even little bits of frost irritate my lips, leaving them itchy and cracked-feeling after a few hours. Think Bronze seems to be one of the most dry-feeling lipsticks in the entire Different Lipstick category, which usually feel creamy and moisturizing all day.


I believe Think Bronze would look great on many people who are looking for a neutral shade. It just doesn't work for me.

I also got this as a GWP. I was really surprised that they called this bronze. Definitely more rosy, I really don't see bronze at all. Goes on nicely, wears pretty well. I would not purchase this, however, as it is frosty, and I don't care for frosted lipsticks.

I also got this as a GWP like many other reviewers and I absolutely adore it! I rarely wear lipstick, and I am very fair in complection with very cool undertones, so I was skeptical about anything names "bronze" But like many others said, it is a more muted rose color with hints of bronze. I wear it with a lot of stuff, it isn't to bold, and adds a touch of color to my lips. It also goes on like SILK and doesn't leave my lips dry.

Love this bronzy pink! The finish is glossy, but the color/coverage is opaque. I think the name "Think Bronze" is a bit of a misnomer because when swatched, this lippie is definitely a bronze-tinged pink. It's not exactly a MLBB shade on my pigmented lips, which I like, because you only need so many of those.

love it. this looks like it could be a rosy color with some gold thrown in but it also looks like it could be kind of a bronzy coral which is strange because i detest any coral/peach blush or eyecolors that are even lemming on coral tones. But it works on my light/med skin (nc 25) i love the oldschool packaging. Oh and i disagree with the reviewer who compared this to mac 's skew, I have it and although it is a lovely color it is much different. I would say skew is more red/orange and this is definitely more pink than that.

I have recieved this color as a GWP a couple of times, but it is not my favorite lipstick. It is a great neutral color but I find that I simply don't wear it much. For reference I am NW20 in MAC's Studio Fix Powder.
