The only bronzer I can use. I must have tried at least 10 different bronzers, both high end and drugstore before trying Guerlain's Blondes. It's beautiful, finely milled powder that looks very natural when applied. What I love most about this bronzer is the different shades used in mosiac form: pale pink, light golden bronze, and soft beige. Using NARS bronzer brush, I just swirl, tap off excess and apply to my cheeks and a bit of color on my chin, tip of my nose and forehead. I also use PD's Bunny, my fave pink blush, for a natural looking pop of color on the apple of my cheeks. Fantastic for fair nuetral or light pink toned skins.

fantastic bronzer! It gives my fair skin a nice glow and it really looks like a authentic tan..... It's very addictive.... once you've tried it you will probably use it everyday for that fresh sensation.

I love this .Have been using it everyday for yrs now and wouldn't be without it.The last compact I bought broke and the company were very quick at sending me a new one out(did have to send the old one back though:( ) It's a great colour,very flattering without the orange tangoed look.I Bought the concave brush that was being promoted with it at the time and it's brilliant as well.It is expensive but in this case I think you get what you pay for.I've tried loads of cheaper alternatives but always go back to this one.

I LOVE this bronzer! Always got compliments on this one. Its on the pricey side but you know what ? I have been using this summer and winter for about 1, 5 years , almost everyday ! It has been just a piece of my make- up routine , day or night ,until i dropped the case few weeks ago and the shattered the powder :( So, the price is not THAT bad when you think about it .. This is one of the very few expensive products that i did not have any kind of buyers remorse afterwards. I have fair skin with olive undertones ,dyed blonde hair. I was not that good at applying make- up when i started using this product (im a lot better now:) ) , but it never failed me ,it is very hard to over apply or mess up with this one , it has right amount of sheer and color to give you the fresh look ,it doesn't have any coverage tho if thats what you are looking for (which is right for a bronzer i guess) .So its very good for starters ,too ..Always thought i was going to get the same one when its done, but wanting to try something new came to me and i am utterly disappointed with the NARS orgasm-laguna duo purchase i just made for a bronzer ..It just makes this one look even better with it's difficulty level to apply ,thats another story tho ..So i might give the Brunette 02 a try this time (so it is new but not really to me ) since its summer ahead and my sister with similar colors to me is using the brunette and adores it too .. But this ones THE bronzer, if you ask me ..

I'm not a blonde, but this looks good on my pale skin. Other bronzers make me look like I smeared dirt on my face, but this gives me that nice "Yes, I do step outside once in a while" glow, with only a smattering of shimmer. And the single colors are nice for eye shadow in a pinch. My compact broke, though.

So far so good. I just tried this once, so I will have to update as I wear it again under different lights. But so far, I really like the color it gives. I don't usually wear bronzers, but it was recommended in Allure's beauty picks, so I gave it a try. I have black hair and light skin with yellow-undertones and this sheer bronzer gives me a nice, warm glow and I look naturally tanned. It's not too strong for the winter, i.e. not fake-looking. I might wear it in place of blush, especially on the weekend, for a natural look.

Love this bronzer, it looks so natural and gives my skin a healthy glow. I can be pretty heavy handed with blush and bronzer, but this never looks overdone. Will definitely buy again!

I adore this bronzer! I am a total bronzer phobe, and I can never find one that looks right on me, but this is great! It works as a bronzer or a blush for me. I am warm-toned, with yellow undertones, and usually the 2nd lightest color of any given foundation line (LLL). The packaging is also gorgeous, and the product is pretty in the packaging, so this is win-win all around. This goes on as a slightly peachy-bronze with light shimmer on me.

I absolutely love this bronzer. I have both Blondes and Brunettes. This is great when I am not tanned and looks very natural. I use this mostly in the winter time and the Brunette in the summer. This is not drying at all. Very slight shimmer on me.

this is an absolute must have for all cool toned PPP's like myself...every bronzer i tried was either muddy looking or too orange on me and this is a heaven sent! the pink in it compliments cool tones and the browns/beiges do not have a hint of orange...it does have shimmer, but not too over the top...it is very light so it hard to over-do it, which was my problem with BE warmth [the only other bronzer i can use that doesn't turn orange]...the packaging is nothing too special it is a brown-amber aleek round compact with the Guerlain symbol embossed within inside there is a mirror..the bronzer itself has a strong lavender scent like the meteorites do, but dissappears once it is applied on the skin...i use a big fluffy EoB brush with it and absolutely love it...gives me a healthy warm glow, w/o making my face darker than my neck...it is an absolute HG! the price tag is pretty hefty at $44 but i can see this lasting me a long time...it is one of those items that is worth the splurge...not only does it deliver amazing results, but just putting it on makes me feel ridiculously glamorous! GET IT NOW!

I am a natural light blond, and bronzers usually make me look orange. This one is fantastic!!!!! It's a true light brown with pink undertones. And although a couple of the mosaics have shimmer, the overall effect is not shiny. I have finally found my HG bronzer.

This stuff is a great product for me! I was a huge fan of Tarte's Park Ave. Princess bronzer, but that was breaking me out. I was reading alot of raves about this on the boards and had to swap for one. I am a NW20 and this works as both a blush and a bronzer for me. Blondes is a beautiful mosaic of light pink, light tan and a shimmery bronze color. I use my Flirt skunk brush to apply. When swirled together and applied to the face, you get a beautiful sheer healthy flush, a sunkissed look. It looks like a spent a couple of hours in the sun :) Not orangey or brown at all, just a sheer flush of color. This really makes my complexion look healthy, not fake or muddy! This can be built up for a more intense flush of color. This is a rather small compact, 10g .35 oz, but this will last a long time for me. While this does not give a bronze color like my Tarte, this gives a pink healthy color to the face. This will even be perfect for the winter as well! This is one of those products that no matter what the price is, I will gladly pay it :) UPDATE: Had to knock a lippie off due to the shimmer/sparkles. Sometimes it just looks too much. This is still my favorite bronzer though :)

My HG bronzer, I LOVE this!! I have typical scandinavian skin (PPP, EM and BEs fairy light) and this is perfect without being too dark. I wasn't really a huge bronzer fan before I found this because I have always looked to orange or just plain weird. This gives a beautiful NATURAL color.. almost like real. I use this every morning to add a little glow. Just too bad I'm not able to buy a new one since this is discontinued. So ironic, I finally find the perfect bronzer and I'm not able to continue using it.. Arrgh! If anyone knows where I can get this, let me know!

I've been using this bronzer for a few weeks now and I must say I look as if I've been on a tropical vacation!! It's beautiful. Almost foolproof. I am using the Smashbox Brush #1, which is such a big, fat, fluffy brush. I recommend it to anyone using an all over color or bronzer! It puts just the right amount of sheer color on my face.

This bronzer is fantastic for PPP girls (I’m NC15). It contains a mosaic of bronze, pink and gold. It looks so natural on with absolutely no orange whatsoever. Perfect for a natural sunkissed colour even in the winter without looking obvious. It even looks great just on its own.

Fabulous!! I adore this bronzer. It gives me a natural look and is expecially perfect in the Winter when I don't want to look so tan. Love the texture. It's a mosaic of of matte and shimmer, in gold, peach and pink, which provides a radiant look. The compact is so chic. I bought the brush too and love how it applies the bronzer and how it fits neatly back into it's black velvet case. This product makes me feel AND look like a million bucks. It has a light lovely scent to it too! If it helps, I'm a NC30. LLL, light brown eyes, brunette with caramel highlights. The blonde color is perfect. Will absolutely repurchase this product.

i only recently got into guerlain because for some reason i always thought of the brand as being associated with grandmas and rich women (i have no idea why i thought this). i am not blonde, but this bronzing powder is amazing. it blends really well with other products, like highlighters and blush, and it always looks natural. i have never had it look orangey or dirtlike (nars laguna, anyone?). you know a product is truly awesome when you hate the fugly old-lady packaging and the high price but still use the damn thing because it's so amazing.
