I love this bronzer! It gives the perfect golden glow and never comes out looking orange. The glitter is not at all overpowering and just add to the glow effect this product gives. I also love that I can use this when I am pale and when I am tan in the summer. Sunkissed is amazing; I'd definitely recommend it.

I've always been terrified of bronzers and all things "tan." That is, until I came across this good stuff. I'm fair-medium skinned with olive undertones and I generally look awful with any bronzer on. I love this product because it's a very soft, mild color that looks really fresh and natural. I almost never wear foundation so I'd say it looks great on its on. It wakes up my face in the morning after a night of little sleep and gives me that "alive" look we all crave.

I do love this bronzer, sometimes I wear it just on its own without foundation, does anyone else use it on its own?

I am NC43 and this is my HG bronzer. Sunkissed is an appropriate name because it does just that......gives me a sunkissed look with just enough sparkle to give a glow w/o coming off too glittery. Despite it being somewhat expensive for my taste - I'm new to department store MU purchases - it does last forever. I've been using mine almost daily for about a year and still have not hit pan. The color is buildable and most importantly believable looking on my skin, no matter summer or winter. My only complaint is the packaging: the hinge broke after just a few uses. I would highly recommend this bronzer to anyone looking for a natural flush of warmth w/o looking like a clown (due to too much orange) or sunburnt (due to too much red). I will definitely repurchase!

I pretty much gave up on bronzers. I went to Clinique to get my foundation shade switched since I'm a bit darker now than I was last year. I mentioned to the lady that my wedding was still 2.5 months away, I'd probably be darker and asked if I should come back for another shade matching. She suggested a bronzer and right away I said no and told her my experience. She put this bronzer on my face and I was completely floored at how natural it looked. The shimmer is tiny, the colour is fantastic (not orange) and it doesn't make my face look dirty at all. She said just apply and build this as needed and I won't have to come in to get another foundation match! I will be doing just that, wearing this foundation for my wedding and many years to come after that. MY HG bronzer. Thank you Clinique!!

This is an okay product. Sometimes it can look orange. I might buy it again if I don't find something else to try once I'm out of it.

First of all the picture shown here looks nothing like the product color. Secondly, this is the BEST natural looking bronzer I have ever used. Not dirty looking, not too heavy, and works with pale skin (if you haven't seen the sun in awhile :)!)

Not too shimmery and not too orange-y! Great for daywear!

This is absolutely my HG bronzer. This is my second year of using it, and I'm sure I'll buy this again when it runs out. I have skin that is basically fair but can also tan in the sun, and I can use "Sunkissed" all year around. I use this as both and all-over bronzer and a blush. Once I've applied loose powder, I take a kabuki brush and dust the ends in the bronzer and just dab it all over my face. I have a hint of sun-kissed tan and glow but there is no telltale shine or shimmer, just a healthy look. I also dust under the cheekbones for blush and it doesn't look like you're wearing blush, just contours the face. I think this color is perfect for all light to medium skintones and doesn't make you look oily, shiny, or fake-baked. It's about $24 usd and well worth the price. Love it.

I like this bronzer. It's very easy to use every day. I need to use a light hand because I am pale. But I love that it is a full compact so it lasts forever! Won't need to buy another one anytime soon but once I run out, will likely repurchase.

Such a beautiful color on me! Oh, how I loved it. Unfortunately, it cracked and crumbled after just two weeks, and then my mom dumped it all over the floor. :( I was so heartbroken. "Sunkissed" is a soft brown with hints of shimmer, and oh-so-pretty on fair skin. I got tons of compliments when I wore this.

Edit+

Bought a second compact of this, and it crumbled AGAIN. This powder is just too fine for me to travel with. :(

I like how it looks on my skin but it makes me break out. So I only use it on occasion.

I use this all over my face to give my face a natural looking glow. This does not at all look orange on my tan NC 42-43 skin. In fact, it matches my skin...it's just a bit more "glowy"/pigmented.

I bought this without even testing on my skin, based on the reviews here and now if I could only have one make up product, this would be it. It gives my light, yellow untertoned skin a natural healthy glow throughout the year. I use this as an all over bronzer in summer and as a blush in winter. I like the fact that the brush has a case of its own but it would be more convenient for me if it was fitted within the blush.

this bronzer was just ok, i think it was this color but idk. i thought it was really great at first but realized later on that it made my olive skin look too pink.. weird huh, cus usually people say bronzers are making them look orange. but anyway, my face ended up being a different color than the rest of my skin, not just a shade darker or lighter but literally a different color. too pinky. so, i am on the search for another bronzer... dont get me wrong, this one is great, but only for people with pink undertones. i wish they had more color options.

Bleh. Used to be my "favorite" bronzer, but I realized is orange with gold shimmer chunks. Not good. Period.

This product is a great everyday staple. It's consistency reminds me quite a bit of pressed powder foundation. And although there is a slight sheen to this bronzer, it is barely noticeable with very minimal glitter (which is a definite plus in my book). There is a lot product given (9.6 grams 0.33 oz which is more than 2x the size of a NARS Bronzer). The color it gives off is sort of a tan apricot and is similar to the color of NARS Zen.
