I am in love with this bronzer. I currently use the color Bronze and it is amazing.. I have fair skin and I've used it on tan soon as well. It makes everyone's skin look great. It also is a great contour color for hollowing out cheekbones. I highly recommend this to everyone..

Color Review: Pro-Glow

This is a matte, natural, light tan bronzer. The powder is a good consistency (light and finely milled), and you get an average amount for this sort of product. The color doesn't look orange at all, and lasts very well throughout the day. It hasn't caused me any skin irritation or breakouts. It looks and feels great on; truly one of the most natural-looking bronzers I have tried. The price is reasonable and the packaging is simple and chic looking.

My only contention with this bronzer is that it is sort of tough to blend. This may be because my foundation hasn't completely set when I'm applying it (though I wait several minutes) or it may not, because I encounter the same blending issues on my neck (bare skin). It tends to want to stay right where the brush hits your skin, and it takes a bit more work than I am used to with powder bronzers to get it blend out evenly.

The Pro Glow shade, as far as I can tell from swatches, is sort of the middle ground color (very flattering for my fair skin); Pro Golden seems to be lighter and lean toward the yellow side; Bronze would be the darkest shade. I don't know if the other two colors have any shimmer to them, although I would suspect that Pro Golden would. I might try that shade next time since I like a little shimmer to make the blending blur more easily.

This is the most amazing products eva!!!!!!! I was worried that bronzer will make me look dull and just plain dark, but no! This produc is my first and last bronzer hands down. The color is universally flattering, perfect for whites, browns, yellows and MORE.

Upon application the product looks like a part of your skin due to the invisible light refracting pigments. Some bronzers I notice just sits on top of the face looking either powdery dust or glitter. This just has enough glitter to give a natural and flattering look.

I use this on the sides of my nose, the sides of my cheekbones and on my chin. It literally gives a chic glow that instantly adds more dimension to the face. Making it look thinner, slimmer and more glowy/happy. PUUUURRREEEE HG Material here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention it's incredibly affordable! Beware Chanel, Lancome, Estee Lauder and other high end companies. They will never be able to make a bronzer that could top this.

Absolutely amazing product! I never thought that bronzer would be my favorite makeup until I tried this product. It takes off 5 pounds off my face and makes my nose slimmer. Pure HG material here.

LOVE this bronzer! This bronzer really warms your face up and is not to harsh looking like some other ones I've tried. It gives me that natural bronzy glow look when I have it on. I'm so picky about my bronzers and don't usually like just one until this one. It last along time too!

This is my first ever bronzer and i love it so much, I will probably never buy a different one again. I love how it takes away light from the parts of your face and instanly makes my face smaller and more toned. I am a very sporty person and i have almost sunken cheeks the bronzer i apply on my temples to balance my appearance out.

Honestly you just cant take this away, it has to stay forever the product and the formulation.

Gorgeous Bronzer! This has a buttery texture that blends excellently! It gives a sun kissed glow without a hint of orange to it!

I love this bronzer! I'm not a bronzer gal, per say, but when I want something extra this does the trick. I knocked it a lippie because even with primer it could last a little longer.

I just got this in the mail today in Bronze Pro.

I've tried a lot of bronzers before (I use them everyday). With all of the positive reviews for this bronzer and inexpensive price, I decided to give it a try.

I absolutely detest red-colored bronzers.. I would even prefer an orange color over red, because I think red looks terrible.. This bronzer, I can't really tell. Sometimes it looks like it pulls a little red on me (asian, fair skin-tone) but other times it's perfect. (I'm wondering if pro-golden has less of a reddish tint?)

It has a little bit of shimmer to it, which I can sort of see on the skin, but it's not enough to look like a disco ball, and it's definitely not muddy looking.

All in all, it's a good bronzer, especially for only $10.00.

On my second one! By far the best that I've come across. But what do I know, I have only tried Chanel and Estee Lauder bronzers..have yet to try the famed Guerlain Terracotta. BUT nonetheless, this is seriously good stuff. Here's why:

1. Universally Flattering!
This is the only bronzer that I've tried so far that is universally flattering on most skin tones (tried it out on my cousin and friends who have different skin tones). I'm still amazed at how it can look so good on my friend's tan complexion, and equally good on my fair Asian skin; after all, most bronzers turn out orangey (read: Chanel) or muddy (read: EL) at the very least, when applied on my skin

2. Looks Natural
Although it has barely noticeable shimmer in the pan, the shimmer is disappears once applied, and my face actually looks glowy. Coupled with its flattering bronze tone, applying this bronzer has allowed me to have that gorgeous, sunkissed look that I love so much: just like after a wonderful holiday by the beach!

When i first bought this bronzer, there was only one shade (Bronze) and this is the one that I'm reviewing on. On my second purchase, mark. has since come up with 2 other shades (Pro Glow and Pro Golden), both of which I'd love to try some time soon. At only $10, this just lasts and lasts. I threw out the last one only because I decided I've had it for far too long (2 years?). Didn't wanna risk being gross and getting bad reactions on my skin.

So there you go! If you're thinking of purchasing a new bronzer, look no more! the Almighty Bronzess is right here

I bought this because of the positive reviews and because I was looking for something cheaper than my MAC "golden" bronzer (previous HG bronzer). There are three color options, and I went with the "Bronze".This stuff lived up to the hype. No noticeable shimmer, so I don't look like a sparkle face, and just enough pigmentation to make me feel like I spent the weekend in the sun. The color is not orange. I am very pale (borderline grey) and this stuff wakes up my face very nicely. The only issue I seemed to have had is that it cakes on top of cream blush (something MAC didn't do). I guess I will have to reverse my makeup application step and apply the bronzer first, followed by the cream blush (maybe that's the way you're supposed to apply it anyways, so who knows...). Definitely repurchasing and would recommend to all my friends who previously lived by Golden

First, I really don't like the packaging. It is bulky, and has some awful brush in the bottom well that is under the pan. I really wish makeup companies would begin realizing that we don't like those brushes, won't use them, and that they ought to not put them in there, lowering prices by using less materials for both the brush and the packaging!!!
Now, onto the color - I purchased this because I was reading that A) a lot of people like it, and B) a lot of people think it is a decent dupe for NARS Laguna. I have been using Laguna for a while and like it, but it (and other NARS blushes) have started to break me out. So, I was looking for a dupe! I bought this on avon.com (with some other things, and used a good coupon code for free shipping!), and was excited to check it out. I feel that this is a decent dupe, but not dead on. I think that Laguna is more pigmented, but also a slight bit more shimmery (which I don't care for). Laguna is also a slight bit more red-tinged than the mark bronzer. Onto the depth of color - this is a pretty good dupe for the depth of color, but the color payoff is not good on this product. I am NC20-25, and think this works very well when applied with a fluffy brush to look more natural. So, for a huge diff in price, do I think this is a good dupe for NARS Laguna? Sure. It is $10 on the avon website, and Laguna is $33. You get 0.28 oz with NARS, and 0.41 with mark. I think it is close enough to warrant saving $23 and getting way more product!

I got the lightest shade and it is great - beautiful colour, very natural looking, smooth application. My only complaint is that the package broke for no reason - even so I recommend and would repurchase. it is a bargain.

Here's another rave for this product. I wear "Buff" in their Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation, which is a light-medium, yellow-based shade. So, I chose the middle shade of "Pro Golden" for the bronzer. Love it. I am naturally sallow so I try to wear something on my cheeks everyday in order to liven up my face. I have to say that this doesn't really give me a bronzed or tanned look or anything (maybe the darkest shade would do that), it just gives me a healthy wash of color and glow and it DOES NOT turn orange! Also, the shimmer is very light and natural-looking and I'm not normally a fan of shimmer. This is a definite repurchase.

BIG MARK FAN!

I bought the shade "Bronze" recently. I'm partial to the mark brand because I sold it way back when it was a baby brand from Avon. They have changed a little and now make a lot of good products for a price that can't be beat. I don't think this is from the original mark line, but it's a staple for the price! There is a great range of brown toned shades. Normally a bronzer this cheap is orange or tan... and those look horrible on most people. Only the most tan skin can pull off a bronzer that golden. When I got this and took a good look, it really compares to my NARS Laguna as far as texture and shade matching. The best dupe I've seen for it yet! For $10 I will be buying this one again instead of so many Lagunas. You could buy three of these for the same price as one NARS bronzer. You get 8 grams/.28 oz of NARS, and 11 grams/.38 oz of the mark. I took the third picture.

This is my HG bronzer... I have the Pro Bronze shade. It's as smooth as silk & is not sparkly, shimmery, or glittery; just imparts a natural GLOW--AMAZING! This is near 'dead-on' in shade to Hoola by Benefit, but it has an illumination & isn't as matte or chalky as Hoola. What an awesome price ($10) for a product that is so finely milled & of such high quality making this powder feel creamy to the touch!
