First of all, i'm a nc 20, nc 25 in the summer, and i'm asian. I might be the palest asian you'll ever see.
[And my body is 2 shades lighter than my face, which really sucks. Once someone said that my bare legs under the sun can blind them..that's how pale the rest of the body is.
Anyways, so i self-tan for my body to match or to be a bit darker than my face.

Application for all over the face:
I would recommend ANY ONE under a NC/NW 35-40 who wants a glow on their face. I have dry patches and an extremely oily tzone. it does stay put and does not emphasize my dry patces. it applies beautifully and naturally. i can say this is the most natural looking "fake tan" i ever got on my face.

Application for contouring:
I would recommend ANY ONE under a NC/NW 30-35 to use this product for contouring. I use my MAC 168 brush and it applies so well and so easily! :)

One huge pro is that this product builds up easily. If you use a tiny bit of product, it gives you a extremely light shade, if you use more, it gives you a darker shade. and as you build up, it gets heavier and heavier, but never cakey or unnatural (unless it's like 10x darker than your skintone LOL!)

One con is that, if you are looking for a dark brown colour, you will be going through this product very fast, due to layering. I would just suggest you buying the darker shade of this. (there's another darker shade, this is the lightest shade, in total 2 shades available)
If you're somoene who is between a light dust of glow and heavy duty contouring, i suggest buying both this shade and the darker shade.

overall, i really like this product and will definitely repurchase!

I've already bought this again. This stuff is the best! A little sweep across my cheekbones, tip of nose, forehead, and chin, and my face looks so refreshed and alive. I like it more than bronzer. Bronzer can be too strong and fake on my face. This stuff looks way more natural. Like the name suggests, it gives a beautiful *warmth* to the face. A little goes a LONG WAY! I remember having the flu last year. I had to leave to go to the doctor and I looked like absolute hell in the mirror. I grabbed my warmth and swept it across the areas mentioned on my face and... wah la!! My face suddenly looked radiant and alive. This stuff is amazing. I honestly am dumbfounded by the negative reviews I see here. I HIGHLY recommend anyone try this out first for themselves before dismissing the product based on people's reviews. For reference, I am NC20 in Mac.

i like this, but its to expensive for me. id rather just use a drugstore to bronze. it gives a nice sun kissed tan summer look doesnt "shimmer" too much, its pretty matte. its very pigmented. the packaging is kind of annoying sometimes because ive dropped it a few times when i twas open and some product fell out and i was sad that all that was wasted...overall, its okay. if you are on a budget, i would say just pass this, if you can afford it, sure try it out.
if you dont an olive undertone, i dont think this would be for you. if you are more "pale" its going to look very weird, just because its very pigmented, BUT they have lighter "all over face color" for those people.

I have repurchased this a couple of times and I must say I adore it.
I wear bronzer more than blush; in fact, I rarely wear blush in the spring/summer. I like warm bronzers as well, as they tend to flatter my colouring. This is a very warm bronzer, and it flatters me very much. Cooler ones make me look muddy; this one makes me look sun-kissed.
It's almost warm enough to be a blush/bronzer combo on me; it's a little orange (and I mean that in a VERY flattering way).
I purchased the full-size of this after using a bunch of samples over a year ago, and it's still going strong. A very little goes a long way. Bonus: it's loose, and as a clumsy girl, I tend to drop my makeup. No shattering a loose product!
I will continue to repurchase this product. It's just over $20 CAD and considering how long it lasts (not only the product, but it lasts FOREVER on the skin), I think it is VERY worth it.

One of the best bronzers out there. This is a great bronzer because it looks like skin. It is a bit dark no matter what color shade your skin is, so a little goes a looong way! It does last pretty long, and just gives a nice natural looking glow. :)

I also use this as an eye shadow a lot during summer, makes my brown eyes have that perfect bronzer look :)

I got this in the Get Started Kit and I think it is great for summer. I only need a tiny amount to bronze my cheeks or other parts of the face, it gives very "natural" colour, nothing too vivid or too deep for fair complexion that I have.

The only problem that I encountered is really the amount I have to apply - it is much butter to start with almost nothing and then build it up, because the product is very pigmented.

Warmth is a product that for me, does exactly what it says: gives a naturally flushed glow. The color seems to have been formulated to produce a natural "blush" and it will turn out that way if you apply it SPARINGLY. I suggest using the biggest brush possible so the color doesn't end up too concentrated when it lands. I have fair skin and I love this. I always forget to reach for it because I have 50+ blushes but when I wear it I'm happy. If you use it solely as a bronzer you might be overwhelmed but sparing and proper placement will do the trick. A container will last forever because if how concentrated it is but if I lost it or gave it away I'd pick up another.

Well, I must start by telling I was completely in love with this product because it gives a lovely, healthy, natural glow. I was using it every single day for months.

Sadly, I was in the middle of the second package when suddenly I broke out on both cheeks and temples, just where I applied the most of it. I waited to make sure that Warmth was the cause of it and, alas, no doubt about it! I am very surprised, because I have generally clear skin and don't break out easily, and this is supposed to be a line for the most sensitive and reactive of skin types.

I am crushed to say- there will be no Warmth for me anymore. Boy, will I miss it.

Let me start by saying, I am super pale. Like, whitest of the white, and very cool/pinky toned. I did not purchase this; I got it from a friend. I didn't really think it would work for me because it looks so dark and somewhat muddy...Not good for a snow white face. But I was pleasantly surprised. Come summer after a trip to california I actually managed to get a tan a little bit and my foundation became too light. I tried this out with a VERY light hand, and it totally brought the "warmth" back into my face! This has been the only "bronzer" product I've ever been able to use without looking ridiculous/fake/orange. Just make sure you use a very, very light hand and build up as necessary so you don't end up looking like you've got dirt smudged on your face. I will probably purchase next summer.

Warmth is perfect for countouring. Apply it to each side of your face in a "E" and "3" pattern blending well to add the perfect contour.

apply lightly of course and you can always soften even more with mineral veil.

i can't go without it !

Started using Warmth when I bought the Starter Kit from Sephora's back in 2006. Love it, but be careful applying it! I was instructed to flip the container upside down, and then flip it back and open the package. Then LIGHTLY swirl the Kabuki brush around the lid and then tap at least 3-5 times on the side of the lid container. Sounds like overkill, but Warmth is very dark in the package. A tiny amount goes a long way. Costs about $19 from Sephora's.

Swear by it, despite the babying the product requires. It truly does add a special touch to my fair skin. When I wear it, my skin looks sun-kissed, but not in an obvious or exaggerated way. Give it a try!

Warmth is more versatile than I first realised.

Not only do I use it to apply touches of light, sun-kissed glow to my skin- it is great for gentle contouring which requires the same minuscule amount of product on my brush.

I like to get multi-usage out of buys and this colour also triples as an eye shadow, again great for bronzed eyes, smoky or as a liner.

The price may be off-putting for anyone browsing for a new bronzer but I think that after a year of using this, there is still two-thirds of product left in the jar and this contains no glitter or shimmer- so no scary frost fright for anyone who wants to pass off as naturally glowing. This is strictly matte but sheer.

I gave the packaging 3 lipsticks even though I agree with the minimal use of packaging, this expensive powder would benefit from a deeper jar as to prevent spilling and wastage.

I really like this all over face color - although I don't use it all over. I think warmth is a beautiful color when it's used just as a bronzer; for me, its way too much to be used all over. I got this in the starter kit, and I don't think I'll ever even need to buy another one because a little goes a long way with this product! The color can be very natural, but it's so build-able that you can keep layering it for a more dramatic look. It applies beautifully and it does give a really nice glow to your face when it's applied correctly.

I recently purchased the Bare Minerals starter kit and the Warmth came with it. Looking at it in the container is a little overwhelming. It's very dark. When I was at the Bare Minerals store, the MUA made sure to emphasize that a little does go a long way. What I like is that it is not necessarily matte, but it's not sparkly either. It works perfectly for contouring and gives the skin a sun kissed glow.

I received this from a swap. It looks super dark in the pan, but a tiny bit of this stuff goes a long way, and it's actually quite sheer. It gives my face a nice glow. I sometimes wear it as a bronzing blush or other times all-over face to give myself a very light warm glow (my skin is already kinda tan so it doesn't change my tone drastically). And so far I haven't found it to do anything negative to my skin. It doesn't have any shimmer in it which I love because the other bronzers I own and love do have shimmer, so I can't wear them all over my face.
Now, the packaging is weird and I have no idea how to work it (even though it comes with directions, I still can't figure it out). And the price is a little steep for such a small amount... but then again I guess that small pot will last you a long time. But even still, I'm glad I got this in a swap, because I would not pay $19 for a bronzer.

Wow, I'm really surprised by the negative reviews here. I rarely rebuy cosmetics because there are so many on the market, but year after year, I come back to BE warmth. This has been my go-to bronzer for the past 6+ years. I am fair skinned and haven't found another bronzer than gives me as great natural looking color.

That being said, a little goes a long way. It's really not expensive at all when you consider how long it lasts. I use it every day, and the little tub usually lasts at least a year (longer if I don't spill it). Whatever you do, don't dip your brush straight in! You will get horrific results. Tap the tiniest amount into the lid and swirl with a fluffy brush, tap and buff. Super simple yet beautiful results every time.
