This is my first experience with any bronzer. The reviews were so positive that I thought I should just spend the money and start with the best rather than experimenting with cheapies first. Was it ever worth it. Laguna is amazing. No orange. None. Everybody says it but its true. This is a pure tan. I don't notice shimmer. What I do notice is that it looks completly natural. It accents whatever tan I do have and evens out any redness. I've gotten so many complments, not on my bronzer or on my "fake tan look", but on my glowing, gorgeous tan. Its tropical and so easy to use. I pair it with the Maui Mulitple and thats all I put on my face, makeup wise, everyday. Such a perfect, natural, summer look. Don't waste your money on cheap bronzers thinking you can apply it well or work with it. Go straight for Laguna and you'll never go back.

I was lemming this forever and I'm soooo glad I got it. No orangy look to it at all. I use it with a light hand so I don't put too much on and get that "dirty" look. It has a little shimmer but not overdone so you can't wear it in the day time. You get a good amount of the product too for $26 (it's larger than the blushes). This stuff is definitely HG status for this natural PPP (MMM/GGG in the summer)

I can't believe I waited this long to buy Laguna! It has now become my favorite bronzer and I have many in my collection! It gives me the most natural color on my face and can be layered for more color! I am so excited about this product! I'm an NC35, brown hair & eyes and would definitely repurchase!

This is the ONLY bronzer I had ever been able to use as a PPP! And it looks gorgeous...for the first time in my life I can fake a little bit of a tan!!! I recommend getting the NARS bronzer brush with this - it's impossible to mess up the bronzer with it. This was my first time really using bronzer and I had no problems applying and getting it to look natural because of the beautiful product and the brush. I totally recommend this to anyone It's going to be a summer staple for me, and I def. will repurchase!

Love, love, love this bronzer. I've never purchased a brozer before so I read a lot of reviews before ordering this without looking at it. I know that this has shimmer but the brushes I use (SK) don't seem to pick up the shimmer so I can get it to work for me during the day. It layers easy for a natural glow or you can deepen the broze color by adding more. Definitely brightens up the skin and gives it a glow. The consistency is silky and smooth and not chalky. I don't detect any orange tones, just a straight brown bronze color that doesn't go on as dark as it would appear in the pan. Definite HG and I don't go a day without wearing it. LOVE IT!!!!!

I really like this bronzer overall. The application is very easy and the powder distributes evenly over the face. The color is quite delicate and can be easily layered for more intensity. The only thing that I did not like about it was the amount of shimmer in it; it's great for evenings and night but a bit too much for the day.

I'm sure this is beautiful on people with warmer skintones, but the intense brown color of this was very unflattering on this light-medium olive skinned gal. I looked like I had dirt on my face like some other reviews stated below. The blendability and packaging of this product is excellent though. But it better be at this price right?

Amazing product, and I never would have known about it had it not been for MUA reviews. I was looking for something to make my ghastly pale complexion a tad livelier, and this is exactly what the doctor ordered. None of that orange crap, just nice subtle glow. A godsend and my new HG!

i cannot believe that i did not write anything about it. i bought it after reading the good reviews about 6 months ago and i use it almost daily. it's the best bronzer that i ever used. very natural, and the slight shimmer gives you a very healthy glow.

OMG this is a to-die-for bronzer!!! I've been lemming for it for a long time before i finally got it!! The end results are WOW! I have skin tone closer to fair and laguna made my skin look so much more healthier.. i people even commented on the 'glow' on my face.. so this is definitely gonna be my HG!

I really like this bronzer. Because I have super pale skin, I could never find a bronzer that didn't look really fake. I like the fact that this bronzer can be applied lightly or layered to give different amounts of color (suitable for different situations). It looks great when worn with NARS' Orgasm or Mata Hari blush. I will definitely buy this bronzer again!

I have an olive MMM complexion, and this just didn't show up on me when applied lightly, and made me look dirty when I applied a few layers. Maybe its because I used a powder blush instead of a bronzer brush, maybe its because I didn't use the right technique to apply it, or maybe some people are just not made to wear bronzer. I am an NC30. Sadly my first NARS purchase went up for swap.

What took me so long to try this. Its amazing. I cant believe how much i love this bronzer. Gives me a natural looking touch of color that isnt too heavy or orange. On my nc30 skin, it looks so natural. I definatelly need a blush with this because it is strictly a bronzer. I cant use this as a blush/bronzer combo product like my SD sunkissed gold coast powder. But just to get a slight tan to my skin, this product is fabulous.

I'm not really a bronzer sort of girl. A cool toned PPP, W/ dark brown hair and pale freckles who doesn't tan, but rather pinks is not maybe the best candidate. However, in a NARS makeover the artist used this as a blush, well and highlighter, and at the time I really liked it. Though, now that I own it I think I was more impressed w/ his application skills, because this verges on being a little like dirt on me. But just slightly, and if I hone my technique I might be able to replicate his sophisticated look that the ambery laguna brought out. Still, great staying power. UPDATE: okay it's now two years later and i wear this all the time, the only blush i really wear. The fair skinned, give it a shot. The trick, if it looks 'dirty' on you is just to lighten your touch.

I've never used a bronzer before because I just never thought it would look natural. Boy was I wrong! This looks beautiful on my PPP skin. What a wonderful pick-me-up after a long cold winter. (Still cold here in Western NY) This will look even more beautiful with a tan. I would definitely repurchase!

A natural bronzer for my MMM/GGG skin. I wish it had more pigment though because it hardly shows on my NC35 skin. Finely milled and goes on smooth without streaking.

Texture and colour is nice and it gives a very natural looking, but quite "dark" tan. I discovered Armani Sheer bronzer #1 which is more subtle and gives a more natural finish.I use Laguna on cheeks/chin/forehead for more shimmer and they look great paired together!

Golden, subtle, the most natural looking bronzer ever made! Laguna has no brown or orange. Never looks muddy. The perfect bronzer for me. I love the Nars packaging too. The rubber compact is easy to clean and looks new until the very last bit is gone. I'm on my second compact of this and it lasted me about 3 months. I wear it all over my face and use a brush to apply. I don't think it is as natural looking with a puff.
