I really, really like this bronzer. The finish is almost matte, but not quite, if that makes any sense. There is the SLIGHTEST bit of shimmer, but not enough to notice on your skin. I'm a fair skinned redhead and this product gives me just enough color to give me that sought-after "healthy glow". I sweep it down my nose, across my cheeks, on my forehead, and on my chin. I apply this with a fluffy blush brush and it gives me a sheer application. I'm sure you could build it up with a denser brush or a heavier hand, but I don't have a need to do that. I use this everyday even when I don't wear blush (which is Tarte AC Exposed 99% of the time). It looks especially good used as a blush when you do a more dramatic eye look, because it gives you just enough glow without looking overly "done". This is a great drugstore find for me. One compact has lasted me appx. 6 months so far and I haven't hit pan yet. I'll repurchase if I ever run out :)

I was able to get this on ebay for really cheap. This is a gorgeous peachy-bronze (more peach than bronze - FYI, for those of you with pale skin like myself). I just swirled this around to get all of the colors together and applied with my CS Tapered Duo Fiber brush and just lightly put on the apples of my cheeks for a nice glow. EDIT: I'm finding that the color payoff, pigment, is very poor.

I got this on sale half price last week at the grocery store (I fear they may be clearing out all their Milani stuff and getting rid of it, since it's not well known in Canada and may not be selling very well). I really like this powder - not sure if it's a true bronzer or just something to give your skin a bit of "oomph" but it gives me a bit of colour without making me look orange or like I am very obviously wearing "BRONZER!!!!" I might try applying it a bit more heavily to see if it's possible to achieve a more "bronzed" look with it but I am pleased with the hint of vitality it gives to my otherwise very pale face.

I love this powder. I keep one in my purse as well as my work desk drawer because it's the perfect neutral bronzy/natural pink. It's my go to blush for a not too made up look. Also, with a heavier hand it's great for pairing with a plummy gloss.
I don't use this as a bronzer by itself, though. Too pink for me.

This is one of my favorite drugstore products that I just found at CVS for 75% off! I'm MAC NC25/30, and most bronzers leave me looking orange or streaky. I use an angled powder brush to sweep it along the hollows of my cheeks, forehead, and the bridge of my nose then I apply my blush. This gives a natural, sunny kissed glow.

<3 i use this everyday and i love it! i have many DS bronzers and this is my fav. i use my sephora kabuki brush and add it to my temples and forehead- PERFECT. oh, if you're looking for shimmer-this is not for you. it gives a TINY hint of a glow, but no shimmer.

One of my favorite drugstore finds -- as an uberfair skinned Irish gal, this bronzer is just fair enough for me to use as a bronzy-peachy blush/bronzer. Whether I use it as a blush or a bronzer, or go deep or light can all be controlled by lightness of application and brush. Great go-to, all-season product. I'm especially loving this now as we transition into spring. My skin is winter pale, slightly dull and tired looking from the long, cold, relatively dry winter we've had, and this bronzer is just the right pick-me-up addition to my makeup routine.

I use this bronzer as a blush and it is just beautiful...it is a lovely, warm, deep peachy color and really gives me that "glow". Very smooth application, a little goes a long way. I have a light to medium complexion depending on the season so I don't use too much and it's just perfect...sometimes i will sweep a little highlighter powder over my cheekbones after I apply this and I'm ready to go.

Great bronzer that leaves me with a light coral-peachy glow - not orangy at all. It makes me look refreshed, healthy and just amazing. I recommend this for day, as for night I prefer something a bit more dark. Overall, love it!

EDIT: A bit too orangey for my skin. Not liking it as much as before. have switched it for Chroma Face Glow.

This actually is a very nice product- goes on very evenly and gives me a nice natural looking non-orange color. I have "rosacea red face" and usually most bronzers and , in fact, most products in general tend to read orange on me in contrast. But this does not. I can use this to look like anything from a healthy glow to a full out tan. My husband will just faint if I ever let him know that I have a drawer full of expensive products that I wish looked nice on me but instead actually use this inexpensive little gem. I wish that it could fit into a prettier compact as Iam a pretty packaging junkie.

I got this at 25% off so it was under $5. It is not glittery but gives a nice soft glow that looks like a tan. I am just using it to contour my cheeks and nose and it looks very natural on me. I am a nw 20 with freckles and blonde hair. I would suggest anyone try it for the price.

I would not get this particular one again and am going to try to exchange it for either the Sweet Cheeks one (CVS has a BOGO 50% off right now and they had no more of them) or more of the Glitzy Glamour glosses. This was a tad too orangey-tangeriney-not very natural on me (like a previous poster mentioned). I am as pale as you can get. So far, the best bronzer I have tried- is Revlon's New Complexion, in Sun and it is discontinued. I was lucky to buy it, the other day and intend to stock up.

I *LOVE* this bronzer!!! It's perfect for my light(NW20) complexion. I haven't noticed much shimmer in it at all, except for maybe a few little sparklers. For the most part, I would consider it matte. The colors swirl together to give the perfect glow to my face. It's not too orange or too brown. I also liked Milani's regular bronzers, but I wanted something w/out shimmer for the fall/winter b/c my blushes have shimmer in them. I like this better than my Cargo Matte Medium! I would rec this to any light skinned gals.

I tried so many bronzers before I found the right one. I am fair-skinned so a lot of them look muddy. This bronzer looks so "blah" in the pan. The first time I saw it I wondered what all the reviews were about. But it goes on so naturally. Other reviewers have noticed a tiny bit of shimmer. I don't see it, but if it is there it is very subtle.

This is one of my favorite drugstore products, and one compact will last me forever! I'm MAC NW20/25, and I have tried tons of bronzers..most leaving me looking orange or streaky. I use this most everday along with whatever blush I'm waaring. I use a large powder brush to sweep it along the apples of my cheeks, forehead, and the bridge of my nose..then I apply my blush. This gives a natural, sunny kissed glow to my light/fair skintone. It looks SO natural and never orangey! This is a definate staple in my makeup collection:)!!

I'm very pleased with this product. It is my first bronzer and I'm still perfecting my application technique, but overall I get the performance I desired out of it. It's super easy to use and looks natural on my pale-to-medium skin.

I've been looking for a bronzer not completely matte but not super shimmery and this is the perfect answer! I'm a cool-toned NW20 and this product delivers a nice bronze flush with barely there shimmer (as opposed to my Luminous and Temptation blushes). A great improvement over the Milani bronzer in Radiant, my Shiseido powder bronzer, Neutrogena's Healthy Skin AND my beloved Rimmel bronzer in Sun Light. Great price, will re-purchase!

Finally these showed up at my CVS! I love the nude to light bronze tones of this compact; looks matte, but in good light you'll see barely-there fine points of glimmer. Warms my winter light-med skin in a natural way. My one and only beef? The darkest shade of the 4 appears in only one splotch at the center of the compact, and when I swirl through the pan, it tends to concentrate in one spot on my brush, and I have to be carefull of how I apply to avoid darker zones on my face. This can be an advantage, but you need to pay attention to what your'e doing or you will end up with a more contouring shade in places you don't want it. Not a deal breaker at this price and quality.

Positives: fine, smooth texture; finish is not shimmery, but it's not too matte either; color is a warm, sun-kissed light gold (I am LLL with yellow undertones by the way); lasting power is good as this did not fade on me after 4+ hours; housed in a nicely big compact; inexpensive. Negatives: Color looks a titch too orangey (or tangerine-y) if I layer it and am not careful about blending.



ETA: Okay, I put this up for swap because it just looked too unnatural on my complexion. Plus, it's rather powdery and poorly-pigmented compared to Milani's other pressed powder products (like their blushes), though it's good in comparison to Revlon or whatever else. Would not repurchase and took off one lippie.

Touch-O-Sun is perfect on me as for a nude/natural look. Several matte colors swirled in the compact: light gold, antique gold, peach & bronze. I dust it on my cheeks and eyes with an angled blush brush. Gives my dark skin (DDD; NW45, HIP 818, or Iman Clay6) a barely there, light bronze, blush of color. Looks great worn with a very sheer gold/or peach gloss, and brown eye liner.*****UPDATE: *****This is still one of my favorite blush for everyday wear. However, using BenNye & LaFemme blushes for photoshoots or video. Color shows up better & great movement on skin.
