Have found my HG bronzer!
This product makes my face glow without looking as though I have anything on it at all. I won't leave home without it on now. It's buildable colour is lovely, darker coverage for the summer and just a subtle glow for the winter. It's not too shimmery either. I forced my boyfriend to let me try it out on him so I could see how it looked under normal light and even he looked great! Very natural and added on top of some La Praire Brightening Eye Treatment, I don't even need foundation.

I was rather hesitant to spend so much money on a bronzer I had never tried, but I am so glad I did.
It has a subtle bronze glow that can either make you looked sunkissed or sunburned. Your pick. Just apply on with a large brush. I just love this, especially when paired with a Peach shadow it gives you a Beach Girl Look.
The shimmer quality is almost null, it only seems to exist in certain light, but it is well worth it.

This is a great bronzer! It's not matte, but is not over the top shimmery either. It was a VERY subtle glow/shimmer to it. I am NW15, and sunkissed is perfection. It doesn't turn me orange or dirty looking.
It's not too heavily pigmented so you don't end up looking streaky. My HG bronzer

Love, love, loveee this bronzer! I have it in Sunblushed, which is the middle shade. It always makes me look much better than I did before applying it! It adds a really subtle glow, but is buildable depending on how much colour/coverage you want. I have fair/medium skin, which tans easily, and I find this is the perfect natural bronzer. It has a little bit of shimmer in there, but not a huge amount to the extent that you look greasy like some bronzers do! I always try other bronzing products, but always end up coming back to this one. Not to mention, it lasts ages, and comes in lovely packaging, with the most softest bronzing brush you will ever come across!

This is my HG bronzer. I have sensitive skin and most bronzers I have tried have either caused breakouts or itchy bumps. Not with this stuff! It has a soft shimmer and the colour is perfect for my fair skin. You can layer it to make it darker or just use it to highlight your face and it always looks natural. The little brush it comes with is useless so I use my big powder/bronzer brush instead which is perfect. Another great product from Clinique!

I bought this bronzer last year, and though its doesnt irritate my sensitive skin, I have to be extremely careful when applying it. If I went over by just a little bit I could look like I just spread dirt over my cheeks. The colors is pretty but I wouldnt buy again.

I started using this product when I got in with a bonus. It is awesome. It goes on smooth, looks natural, and I am hooked. As soon as I ran out of my small sample, I bought the regular size right away. I always thought that a bronzer is a bronzer as long as the color is right, but that is not true. I think this looks so great because it goes on evenly (I usually use a bigger brush than what comes with it to apply), and is natural (I am very pale on my face because I am big into my sunscreen). Anyway, I highly recommend!

I've been using this bronzer for about a year now and I love it! The brush is of good quality and the powder goes on evenly and looks natural, not orange. It doesn't irritate my skin either... perfect!

Cliniques' bronzer is one of the best that I've tried. It goes on light and doesn't make you look orange and fake.
The packaging is simple and the brush applies the powder smoothly and evenly. I recommend this for sure.

Got this as a gwp, and i'm not very impressed with this...it takes several layers for this to show up at all, and I'm still pretty well on the light skinned side.

I'm totally loving this bronzer! The shade 02 sunkissed was recommended to my at the Clinique counter and I must say it's perfect for my PPP complexion. It gives me a healthy sunny glow that looks totally natural. I always apply it with a large brush, because the flat brush that came along with the bronzer is useless. All in all, this is one of my HG products!

This is a great bronzer! It gives me a good glow without making me look dirty! I also love that it has just the right amount of shimmer, and doesn't make me look like I applied glitter all over my face. I would also recommend using this product with the bronzer brush.

Love this bronzer! By far this best...it's natural looking & blends with my tan, yet it also adds a little glow to the face.

got this in the clinique gift time goodie bag at nordstroms over the weekend. Im so pale but the SA said it would be nice on me. me and bronzers dont do well usually, they always look "off" with my complexion. but I started using this just as blush and it looks amazing. I started a new job and had my ID photo taken, and in the picture I look sun kissed. I would consider buying the full size if the little one ever ran out. Im light handed with makeup, so makeup usually breaks or goes bad before it runs out :/

I had high hopes for this product as I love Clinique makeup and usually find their colours incredibly flattering and well formulated. I bought this after reading the positive reviews on here, but unfortunately this bronzer looks too orange and extreme on my admittedly very pale skin. I have tried applying this with an extremely light hand, but the result is still an obvious orange-glittery look that you can spot from a mile away. I urge all pale ladies to test this before you buy and make sure to check your complexion in daylight, away from the deceptive neon glow of the department store...
I gave this 2 lippies nevertheless because on the right complexion I imagine this would be very flattering. It's relatively sheer compared to a lot of other bronzers out there and the sparle is not gritty.

This is my go to bronzer for the winter time. Its not over the top- it just gives you a buildable golden hint of color which is exactly what I want in the wintertime when Im super pale and I really dont want my face to scream "Im wearing bronzer!!" It comes in a biiig round compact. This will last you a very long time! For the summer time when my skin tone is a bit more on the tan side, I use NARS Laguna!

Wow, I'm surprised. Not a fan of Clinique, but RIS this in my eternal search for the greatest bronzer. It's very subtle (I'm NC30) but quite natural; less orange/gold than it looks in the pan, more of a natural tan with gold undertones. Like I really tan!
Try it. I just wish the packaging didn't look so cheap.

I Love this bronzer! I have tried many a bronzer, but none have delivered such a natural, fresh appearance. It does have a slight shimmer, but I don't dislike shimmer products. I usually follow up with a loose powder so really any shimmer is either muted or disappears altogether. The color is perfect for my PPP complection. The application is smooth and long lasting. I have never had to reapply this throughout the day. The color is not ruddy or dirty looking. Just like I have a slight "Sunkissed" look.

I really like this bronzer, it's the first one I've tried that doesn't turn a funny color (usually orange) after a while and I find it gives a subtle yet noticeable healthy look. I bought it to get a GWP but I like it more and more. The MA used it on my face when I commented that the foundation she'd just applied made me look ghostly (NC25-30 for ref so I'm not that pale to begin with!) and I loved the effect it had on my cheekbones and in making me look healthy. The packaging is sleek and modern too, it has a copper colored top in a frosted clear base. Since then I've worn it many times and I apply lightly because the shimmer can get a bit obvious if I use too much so it should last me forever even though I said I'd repurchase. The brush that comes with it is useless and scratchy and feels really cheap. The bronzer tends to move around on my face and fade by the end of the day but I think it's more a problem of me not setting it properly? In any case the compact can be carried around for touch-ups although I can't be bothered. Great product overall.

I've used this bronzer for years, and it's wonderful. It was the first bronzer I tried, and since then, it remains the best of all I've tried. It looks natural, isn't orange or too sparkly, it goes on easily and I don't have to worry that I might have applied a touch too much and look like a carrot. The price is reasonable since it's a good product and lasts a long time. Love it and it's a staple in my makeup kit.
