I've been using this bronzer for as long as I've been experimenting with makeup and it has become a staple in my basic face kit. Works beautifully as a simple face bronzer, or as I like it as a blush base - makes any color slightly warmer and I find I actually use less blush, therefore saving product/ money in the end. Also, if you find a powder blush that just isn't working out for you, mix this with a touch of powder blush. Not only will it warm up the color, but last 2x as long and look completely natural. Lasts all-day and for someone whose color changes - i.e winter- pale as all get-out!/ summer- medium tan - looks beautiful either way.

Beautiful natural bronze in an easy gel. Looks like a healthy vacation tan....never achieved this with any high end product. My HG.

I think this stuff would probably work well on tanner girlies, but those of us who are on the paler side, it makes us like RED- sunburned red. This stuff is drying, so when I do use it, I mix it with some moisturizer and then apply. I've just stopped using this altogether, though. It's too red and streaky. Maybe I should try the darker one.

i love this! Bronzers normally look awful and muddy on my olive complexionk, but this was just beautiful and natural looking. it does have a rosey tint to it, akin to a blush gel--- but that's fine by me! my trick is i only use it here and there---like on my cheeks. sometimes i mix it with my moisturizer if i want to put it all over. makes me look very health and not washed out! i love it!

I'm an NC35 and this did not show up on at all - it disappeared right into my skin. I'll try the darker shade next but I was really surprised to find that this was so invisible on me when I'm not even that dark.

If I wanted to look sunburned, I would've sat in the sun. I'm going to try the darker shade.

This stuff sucks. It turns you red not tan. I bought it because it was so cheap but it's going straight in the trash.

This "bronzer" also made my fair skin with golden undertones look red. I swear it was like I bought a gel blush! It works ok as a red blush i guess, but i thought i was buying a bronzer.

I love this stuff! Goes on easy and dries quickly but not too quickly. Blends well. Doesn't make my face look dirty. Wears well on my oily skin. I apply it over foundation but apply my loose powder over it. Gives me a nice sunkissed glow. My husband always tells me how pretty my skin is when I am wearing it, even though he can't tell me why...:) Why pay more when I can get this for $3-4?

Dang, why don't I learn my lesson! Bought this about a year ago but hardly used it because it barely showed up on me... and I threw it out.
Then after reading reviews I'm thinking I'm missing out or maybe it's reformulated or maybe I got a bad one... but it's still the same. Barely shows up at all, even on the back of my hand.

Next time I'll spring for the Clinique one from the men's line.

After reading the reviews I decided to buy this bronzer. I was very careful and only applied a thin layer. It looked awful on me. My face turned red. I will not recommend it.

This gave me a great tanned appearance, with just a bit of product. I still like the glow Bonne Bell's Glimmer Dust gives me better, though.

After reading all the great reviews for this product, I couldn't wait to snatch it up at Target.. I then discovered that it wasn't a self tanner, but just a make-up item to be washed off at the end of the day. SO I apprehensively used it before school in the morning. To my horror, my face looked FLUSHED RED, and it wasn't a reaction either. I'm not PPP, so it wasn't "too dark", it was just.. red. Someone at school even said at as joke "Go a little rouge crazy today?".. I put a bunch of light powder over top to try and neautralize and wore a hat, but my cheeks looked sunburned, not sunkissed :(

I love this stuff! It goes on so sheer and looks really natural. With just one layer I got a really pretty glow. The more you add, the darker you get-but it looked totally natural. Not fake or orange-y at all. Plus it's cheap and comes in a decent size tube. Awesome product!!

I love this! I think I'm on my 2nd or 3rd tube, which by the way, is ample enough that you can add a bit to your body lotion and get a faux-glow without self-tanning. I love mixing this with my foundation, gives me a heathly bronze look without shimmer. This is better than most high-end gel bronzers I've used and the shade isn't overbearing on my PPP skintone! For the price, I'll keep purchasing this! :-)

This is a great product! It gives your face a healthy sunk kissed glow without looking fake, or blotchy! This product is also a very good buy at under $5!

GREAT product. expecially for the price. It gives me a very healthy glow and makes a HUGE difference from just bare skin. The only problem i would say is it leaves residue on your hands.

I have never put a self-tanner or bronzer on my face before so last night when I put this Gel Bronze on my face I was like, "Oh, so this is what I would look like if I was tan." One layer of this stuff gives you a tiny bit of color so it doesn't matter if you miss a spot. Two layers and you start to look nicely tan. I am afraid to put on more than two layers because this looks a bit red on my fingertips. It is a bargain for only $4.
