MY FAVORITE BRONZER! I got this as a part of the Love Match palette. even though I'm pretty pale (NC15), I use this bronzer to contour my face, and it looks great while giving me a nice tan glow. I like how it's shimmery but not too glittery, and the tone is not too orange. I've actually hit pan on mine :) also, it looks great with the Whiskers blush included in the Love Match palette, for a perfect summer look!

i got this as part of the Love Match palette from hsn that inc eartha e/s duo, whiskers blush, and catnip bronzer and travel brush kit for $40. i am not a bronzer user as i already have warm medium toned skin and usu. get some sun. but sometimes when i want a warm sunkissed look, this is the neutral shimmer free (or min. shimmer) bronzer i use along my tzone and tops of cheeks for a sunkissed look.
but in all honesty, this is the piece of the palette that i use least. i may try to use it as blush like some other reviewers have had and will update later.

This is the perfect bronzer for me. I stayed away from bronzers for a long time because I couldn't find one that worked well for me without looking like I had brown streaks on my face. I'm pretty fair (NC20), with rosacea. Not too long ago, one very talented makeup artist told me to wear brownish blushes to tone down my rosacea. She said I had enough "red" in my skin, and this would neutralize it. I already had this at home as part of a palette,but hadn't used it. So I came running home to try it, and I haven't stopped! I use it as blush, then lightly brush it (with a skunk) over my forehead, nose, and chin, as Cat instructs. It gives me a beautiful pale rosy brown color. I look like I've had a "little" sun, and since I don't go in the sun AT ALL anymore, this is perfect for me! Sometimes I'll cover it with a blush to give me a different look, and somehow it always manages to look great even applied under another color.

I was ready to give this a lower rating. It's a brown/red looking bronzer with no shimmer. To get this to work I have to use it very lightly and I'm not light skinned at all. However, I tried it as a blush and it's a beautiful terra cotta color on my cheeks. Well, at least I'll get some use out of this. I probably won't repurchase. I'd be more likely to try another bronzer or blush from Cat cosmetics instead.

I really wanted to like this, but it's orange. And shimmery.

I got a small size of this in a set from HSN. It's just okay, to me. The color is very neutral, not too orange. It's fine to add a bit of warmth to my face, but just not anything special to me.

The catnip bronzer is one of the few bronzers that I can wear with out looking like an oompa loompa by the end of the day. Usually they tend to get a little too orange looking on my skin or they don't blend well or have too much shimmer. Until this bronzer, I haven't really been too impressed. This bronzer looks really natural and isn't streaky at all.

Ok, I rarely wear bronzer, but when I do, this is the one I pull out. This shade looks the most natural on me. I don't look weirdly orange or muddy when I'm wearing it. It is really silky and the color is so flattering. My foundations are BB Warm Sand, LM Warm Ivory.

Purchased during their summer savings sale and received it with a sable brush--although the brush would be more for blush. I've never been able to wear a bronzer, as they all turn orange and look so artificial, but this one seems to be okay. Looks as natural as a bronzer could on me, has little sheen, and doesn't seem to turn orange--although I will have to write an update on this one. I would think this would look great with a light tan. I think I should have sprung for the whiskers blush! For reference, fair with green eyes, and blonde to brown hair. EDIT: I just cannot get any bronzer to work for me. I use this as a blush which is fine because of its warm tone, but I would otherwise stick with the cat whiskers blush.

This bronzer and Bobbi Brown's are my two faves! The only ones I'll use because the colors look pretty natural on me. (MAC NC30 foundation) Like to top them off with Cat's Whiskers Blush or Benefit Dandelion. Nice summer look!

This is the first bronzer I've ever had that looked truly natural and radiant on my ppp skin. I have this in the Catskers combo compact, and find that I use far more of this (I just hit the apples of my cheeks with the Whiskers blush). Pair this with the Kabuki brush for exceptional application! I'm a big believer in Cat's products- superior cust. service, quality and everyday use-ability!

I have this in my Six Kitten palette and use it almost every day. It's a pretty bronzer which isn't too dark or orange for my LLL skin. Also, I have to steer clear from any shades that are too red as I have rosacea and work very hard to cover my cheek area. On good skin days I add a touch of Whiskers blush over top. This is my every day blush shade.

I am not a big bronzer fan, because they often turn orangey on my light skin. However, Catnip is a definite winner! It adds a glow, and it looks very natural. I have it in the Six Kitten, as well as in the Catskers compact, which I highly recommend. The combination of a light dusting of Catnip, with the rosy gold Whiskers over it, is beautiful. Another gotta have from the lovely Cat! :)

Got this in the Catskers combo with the Whiskers blush. Beautiful bronzer...not orangey on my light/med skin at all. Go lightly with it tho, hairline, down the nose, chin, lower cheekbones is all you need. Will buy again.

Got this in a palette that had Whiskers blush and two lipglosses in it, I like it but don't love it. It goes on nice, isn't too orange, but it changes color on me halfway throught the day. It doesn't last all day either. On me anyway. I'll stick with Stila's Sun #1.

Got this bronzer in a duo compact with "whiskers" blush. As a PPP with VERY pale skin and slight pink undertones, I have an impossible time finding bronzer that isn't too dark or orange. Cat's bronzer is perfect on it's own for a casual, weekend-makeup glow. Swirled with the rosy-gold whiskers blush, it gives a great, polished, workday look. I'm impressed with the quality of Cat's cosmetics (also have the three well palette with eartha cat shadow and cat/mouse gloss), their wearability, and how good they look on my very fair skin. Plus, how cute is the packaging?! A definite repurchase!

Wow, I love this color so much. I am an NC35 and frequently use bronzer as a blush. I have been using MAC bronzer in bronze as my blush for years however, I like this color WAY better. It is so natural, yet so pretty. I like that it isn't sparkly and very natural looking. It is not orange at all and gives me a warm, golden glow. I love, love, love this. It has officially replaced my MAC bronzer as my HG blush! Yea!!!!

I have been wearing this bronzer almost everyday since I got it. I am PPP and the color looks VERY natural. Not orange at all. I use under my cheekbones, temples, forehead, chin and eyes.

The only downside - it's a little pricey for the size, I eneded up receiving a tiny round tin - not the large sqaure compact pictured on the website. Also, it *may* be causing some breakouts on my cheek. Going to keep an eye on it...

Really love the look though.

*update* Forgot to mention, I think it's impossible to get too much product on your face with this one...I am almost always adding another swipe or two after I first apply.

update: i've had this for awhile and never used it as a bronzer. always just used it as a contour cuz i thought i looked bad w/ a bronzer. but i finally tried it w/ my cat's kabuki brush and i LOVE this!! doesn't turn me orange at all. first bronzer that i really like and only one that i find to work for me. cat's cosmetics just keep on amazing me.
