I have tried a lot of high end bronzers. This is exactly what a fair, light or medium skin tone needs. The hint of color can be layered and you can get darker shades from the same product. It does look very natural regardless of layering the product. It gives a great glow without looking greasy. My oily skin does not get any oilier from this, which is a plus.

This product gives a healthy bronze glow that doesn't look too orange or brown! It goes on very naturally, especially with a larger bronzer brush. It didn't cause me to break out and doesn't come on too dark when I apply it and definitely didn't look powdery. I would highly recommend this for a drugstore bronzer :). Except the only thing that sucks is the small brush that comes with the bronzer.

At first I thought this bronzer was my HG, as I have naturally tanned/olive skin and wanted to try something different for blush. I began to notice though that I really had to pack it on in order for the color to show and the staying power was just awful throughout the day. I think this would work well on fair skin tones but I found that MAC's bronzers and blushes worked soooooo much better in pigmentation and staying power, and it only costs a few bucks more.

I can't believe I wasted so much time on other bronzers and blushes! I was always bothered by the higher price of Neutrogena's. Its worth the extra money. Before I used this one, I had a Covergirl one which always make me break out, looked fake and make my skin tone look uneven. This Neutrogena one is gentle on my skin and if by chance you apply too much, it is easy to spread around and lighten up. I'm sure people with different skin tones may find another brand works better, but this is perfect for me. Don't use the brush, of course. Big powder brushes are the best for applying bronzer and blush. Also other bronzers come with pans that will only work with the small brushes they come with. This one has a nice big pan to use a bigger brush. I'll have to wait and see how it looks in the summertime when I get considerably darker. I'm sure it will continue to please at any rate.

This is the only bronzer I have ever bought that doesn't turn me orange or look fake! In fact it gives me the most natural color any bronzing product has given me, not so deeply tanned but a just-been-out-in-the-sun glow. The packaging is great, the pan of the product is large enough to sweep my huge fluffy brush in. The brush in the compact is, of course, useless although it is quite large. This bronzer is also matte, which helps to give a very natural look. I am an NC15-20 depending on season, and this bronzer is perfect! I will certainly buy this again.

a just okay product, really. it makes me glow bright orange-red instead of the desired glowing bronze look i hoped for. and the brush that comes with the bronzer is just awful. it's hard and scratchy on my face and forehead, and it sheds like crazy. i've had this for about a year and honestly speaking, i've only ever applied it like twice. it's been sitting in my drawer for ages, and then yesterday i suddenly had the urge to take it out and apply it right before i went out. big surprise -- it still made me glow orange-red and it looked so fake. will not repurchase.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this product! Thank you Neutrogena for making a great bronzer for oily/acne prone complexions. Works great, blends nice and easy to reapply without washing your face and starting over. WOW!!!!!

This bronzer is wonderful. I've used cream bronzers and other powders, but they usually had too much shimmer in them and looked totally fake. I've used this stuff since spring and it really gives my pale skin a nice glow. I have acne prone/sensitive skin and it does not cause break outs. I agree with some users who dislike the brush, but as with most bronzers/blushes, you almost always need your own. Will definately repurchase.

I got this from my sister and I love love love it! It is very natural and not orange at all. It does not make my skin break out which is always a must with the make up I wear! I have to say that I have not tried the brush it comes with bc it just looks too small and pointless. I use my own big blush/blending brush and this stuff looks great. It has a little shimmer to give that something extra that is not too much!! And the price is right too! I highly recommend this bronzer and I thank my sister for turning me on to it!

Easy on my olive/ruddy skin! It's not too orange, and I actually use it more as a blush than a bronzer.

This bronzer has changed my life. Before I tried it, I was a pasty yellowish green sickly beast. But now, I am confident. I am not afraid to talk to boys. And they love me. Not so much for my appearance as my amazing stellar personality, but I'm sure my natural bronze skin tone helps. If you want to have lots of friends and a boost of confidence, buy this bronzer. seriously.

I bought this product a few weeks ago and its okay. It comes off after awhile since the powder doesnt stay on very long. Its a very nice color (i used sunkissed). the brush is a little too small and overall its just a so-so product. its nothing special and you could probably find much better, especially if you want something long lasting.

This is a great bronzer! Especially for a drugstore. This gives you a nice peachy glow. I wouldn't really say it is a "bronze" color though. A very natural look. But just make sure you use your own bronzing brush

I love this bronzer! It has a very natural looking color and does not look orangey at all. I like the intriguing little palette of colors that somehow manage to go on beautifully! I use a large kabuki brush to apply to my cheekbones, nose, and top of forehead. It's great for that sun-kissed look all year round.

I love this bronzer. On my naturally tanned complexion, it gives that healthy glow perfect for any season of the year. On days that I don't really want to wear a lot of makeup, i just brush this almost all over my face with a little emphasis on the apples of the cheeks, and i'm ready to go!! I can use it as a blush over my powder or foundation as well. It's great, i recommend it to most everyone with most any skin tone.

This was a Fabulous product. I purchased it in Sunkissed 30 - and you can build up to the right color you want... and my face was very smooth and it did not cause me to breakout in any way...

Got this in sunkissed and I love it. It hasnt broken me out and is subtle. You can totally build this up so it's darker and the color is not orangey or muddy at all. Plus it's not the expensive because i got it at ULTA and used the coupon. But you can usually find this on sale in most drugstores.

It's winter and I needed more color on my face and this is perfect to give me that healthy glow!

I purchased this product on a whim and I'm so glad I did. It's the BEST bronzer I've ever used. The color is great - not too dark, definitely not orangey and it gives just the right amount of glow/color to your face. There's also just enough shimmer - not too much like other bronzers I've used (Lancome & Benefit Hoola). It gave my skin a very healthy and radiant look. Before this, I was using NARS Orgasm, and I find that this product gives my skin a more healthy and natural looking glow. I'll continue to use Orgasm for nightime events, but will use this for everyday purposes. Like other reviews, the brush is a useless - I just my own blush brush. I do wish that the product was a bit indented in the case because when I use my brush on it, the product gets all over the floor. Packaging is nothing fancy, but it's slim so it's easy to carry around. Overall, this product gets 5 stars from me!

This is really a great bronzer. It meets my top two qualifications....does not cause breakouts and looks totally natural. I've used bronzers before and they always wound up looking orange. I wore this on my first day back to work after vacation (where I did NO tanning) and everyone raved about how great I looked and how tan I got. The brush included even does a pretty good job.
