I'm a chinese GGG, NC35, NARS barcelona. I LOVE this bronzer because it bronzes not glitters and makes my face look healthy rather than dirty (yes I have had issues with sparkly bronzers like MAC golden!?!). I bought this at Mecca Cosmetica on the day of an impromptu makeover because the male MA who was helping me really seemed to know his stuff.. he picked the best items for me from each of the brands they sold (stila, NARS, Becca) and really showed me how to use the products - and as the store is bathed in natural light I got a very realisitc view of how things would look in normal lighting.

I was so looking forward to loving this, but sadly it didn't really work for me at all. Maybe my skin is just too fair for it to look anything but muddy and brown, but it really didn't work for me as a bronzer at all. I constantly felt like it was too obvious that I had it on, and it just didn't look natural on me. The colour is so pretty in the compact but doesn't do much for me. I'll stick with my beloved Sue Devitt bronzers!

The same amazing quality as NARS Laguna, only darker. This is a great bronzer for medium to dark skin tones. A true brown bronzer, with slight shimmer, very natural looking. I love this.

I have tan skin and have been looking for a bronzer without much sparkle, that would give me a naturally bronzed look, without looking fake or muddy. I have been reaching for this bronzer daily since I bought it. It's highly pigmented so a little goes a long way but the 'glow' everyone raves about is absolutely beautiful. It stays true throughout the day, and my skin tends to get oily by the end of the day, but this bronzer holds it's own. Somehow it makes my skin look radiant! So glad I read the reviews here and picked this up...no more searching for that perfect bronzer.

After trying almost all the bronzers (high and low end) on the market, and after reading all the positive reviews on Casino, I decided to try it and it is truly unbelievebel! It gives me the most natural bronzy glow that money can buy. I am a PPP, and it is the only bronzer that made even people that know I don't bake in the sun ask me "Where did you go?" Every time I wear it someone invariably asks me where I want on vacation. It's that good. You'll need a good bronzer blush (have not tried the NARS yet) and a light hand. Casino is a long lasting, true dark brown with slight golden shimmer that shows up as a glow rather than frost. And you get 8g of product for only $26! Cannot say enough great things about Casino. I bought Laguna before and returned it because it made my yellow-toned skin look even yellower and had to put tons of product to have it show up. With a light hand, give Casino a try!

FINALLY! Something I can actually use on my cheeks! It's not heavy like MAC, or dull like Hoola. Just the right amount of sheer shimmer. I love it!

Agree with most of the comments already made. This is a wonderful bronzer that doesn't have any orangey tones. You can apply it sheer, with a large poweder brush, or create a deeper effect with the applicator given. I'll keep buying this as long as they make it. I find this gives a truer 'tan' look than Benefit Hoola, which i had been previously used and liked.

Ok, I'm sold. I'd been using yucky Revlon skinlights (greasy, made me break out) and needed something that would give me a healthy glow AND allow my skin to breathe. No break outs yet. I agree, the sponge thingy that comes with it is useless. I used it the first time and it smeared the bronzer on my face too thick and looked like dirt. I find that a light dusting goes a long way. I am tan - olive skinned but am losing the summer glow. I also use sunscreen on my face so my shoulders are always much lighter than my face. This evens me right out. It's worth the money.

The best bronzer EVER! I absolutely love this color on my DDD brown skin - gives me the true brown J-Lo glow and is fabulous! I wear it every day on my cheeks, a little on the nose, forhead, temples, sides of chin to give me that sunkissed look using a contour blush brush. A mus have ladies! It does not turn ORANGE even after a long day of wear.

I love this product. This bronzer has done more to make my skin look good than any foundation or powder. Ever. Granted, my skin is relatively flawless. So with a little bit of concealer, some blush and this bronzer, my skin looks pretty darn good. I love the glow I get and the fact that the quality of my skin seems to also look better. Don't know how or why this happens, but it does. I'm lightly tanned and this shade was pretty good for me. You can't tell that I'm wearing a bronzer. Love it. But didn't buy the $50 bronzer brush that the SAs tried to talk me into!

WOW! Amazing quality! Darker then NARS other bronzer "laguna" - This shade is just so GREAT. I use it over laguna, to give more depth and add actual color - since laguna just blends very nicely with my olive-tan skin tone. Casino IMO is more of a color for medium to dark skin tones. Adds color witohut looking ruddy, muddy, orangey, or dirty. Great product.

I really like this bronzer! It looks very natural. It also goes on smoothly and evenly. Love the packaging. The cost is a little high, but I have tried drugstore bronzers and cheaper department store bronzers, and nothing comes close to this. I love NARS blushes too. Very smooth and great staying power.

Love this! Run, run, run, out and buy it. I'm pretty fair and blonde and thought hmmmm...maybe it's too dark for me...NOPE! Depends how tan you want to look, but I get so many compliments on my color and I really like it's staying power and the natural look. It's a keeper!

This is definatly the best bronzer i have had so far. It is the perfect colour for my olivish skin tone. Not too glittery and not too matt, the bronzing effect looks real, no one seems to be able to pick that it's powder and not a real tan. Generous amount, in the usual fantastic NARS packaging. I am now an official NARS fan! Thanks for your great reviews guys, u got me on to something good!

Barely shows up on my NC 45 skintone. Gives a slight glow. Broke in the pan within two weeks. Mac bronzers are much better.

Finally! I have found a bronzer that doesn't look like an orange mask on me! This stuff is amazing. Just the right hint of shimmer, and the perfect tan colour for my olive skin. After months of searching for the right one I have finally found it. and if it wasn't for all you other MUA ladies, I would never have known how good it was. Thanks!

Edited: Still loving this product! every time I wear it, people ask me about my tan. can't go wrong with that!

The absolute BEST BRONZER I have ever purchased. Have tried practically every high end department store brand and nothing compares to Nars.
So glad I read all the posts for this bronzer and gave it a try.
A true brown with just a hint of shimmer to give your skin a soft glow.
Almost bought the Sue Devitt Gold Coast bronzer but this one fares much better.
Yea!! No more orange toned tanned face...

I cannot stop getting compliments on this! I love this bronzer. It is my HG of bronzers (and, believe me I don't take this lightly since I've been using the same brand bronzer--for over 4 years!). Huge amount and okay price.
Love this! Highly recommend!

I love this! I have medium yellow-toned skin, medium brown hair, and brown eyes. This looks fabulous on me! I don't notice any shimmer once I apply it, and no orange. It doesn't make my skin look 'dirty', like Benefit Hula does on me. Also, generous in size, I won't need to repurchase this for a while!
