Lovely product! I lightly sweep onto top of cheekbones, forehead and wherever I need highlighting on my face after I apply makeup. A little definitely goes a long way with this product. I apply sparingly in the morning and lasts throughout the day. It provides gorgeous glow on my skin. If need be, I re apply in the evening. Definitely a must in my makeup arsenal bag, whether you want a subtle perk up or a glamorous glowing look.

Highly recommend this product.

FYI I'm a light skin African-American and makes my skin look amazing.

I bought this a while back when the makeup creator, Carol, was helping me find my first bronzer. I wasn't sure which bronzer suited my fair/medium Asian skin. At the Sephora, it looked great when she applied it to my face as she stated it can be used as a bronzer or blush. But once I got home, I realized how very dark it was and it wasn't very blendable. I looked like a clown with two brown circles on my cheeks. I also didn't like how slimmery it really was. It wasn't the soft glow that I wanted it to be so I had to return it. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone as a good first bronzer.

Too much glitter, not enough bronze coloured pigment.
Save money and get a better product by purchasing NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder!

I am a blue eyed NW15.

This bronzer was hard to open (points off the packaging) and hard to apply (bronzer brushes are large, I need a large surface to load up my brush without it being too concentrated.

Plus the color looked kinda orange on me. Very nice in depth though, just light enough for my complexion.

Despite the packaging being difficult to open, the color is great. A nice bronze with a hint of pink. I bought the smaller size on ULTA.com to give it a shot and happy so far.

I bought the sample size of this at Ulta because I needed a really good bronzer for the summer, but didnt want to spend a ton of money. The full size of these I believe runs around 30$. On days when I just use tinted moisturizer, I use this on my cheeks/forehead/chin/nose. It gives a nice sunkist look, without being over done. You do need a light hand with this, a little bit goes a long way.

I got this as a sampler! it is amazing!! very very shimmery tho.... which with baked bronzers I guess I should expect but i was a bit disappointed to see it was more shimmer then bronzer it seems. I do like it tho for summer time! it does give color payoff, if placed in the right spots, and lightly.. too much and u just look too shiny...

I've been eyeing this in Sephora for a while now, & I've been in need of a good quality bronzer. I decided on this one because the color looks really pretty in the container it comes in, & I like the other products I've tried from Lorac. This bronzer wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either...especially not amazing enough to justify the $32 pricetag. The one thing I will say that's good, is that this comes with A LOT of bronzer. So, this will probably last like 3 years or more. It does come off kind of orange if you use too much. This bronzer also tends to streak if not blended well enough. If lightly/sparingly used, this bronzer looks decent. This bronzer is also a little too glittery for my taste. I kept my receipt, & I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep this or return it. I'm going to use this a few more times & see if I like it better. This is just too expensive to look past this bronzer being only "decent." I've used drugstore bronzers that worked better, & they were way cheaper. So far, I wouldn't buy this again. If anything changes, I'll update.

I bought the tester size of this product at Ulta. I have seen it many times and wanted to buy it. I finally broke down when I threw my last bronzer away because it was more than 2 years old.

This is a decent bronzer. I actually like the shimmer of this product. My complaint is that on my skin it is slightly orange and not believable. I don't mind products that don't look natural, but I something about it is lacking. It requires a lot of blending in order to stop it from looking splotchy.

I thought the packaging was really cute, but after three days of owning this the bronzer shattered. I had to break it all up and put it in an empty loose powder container I had on hand. It actually applies better this way, as I can get my big fluffy brush in the product. It was hard to get the product on the brush in the original container.

I plan on using this up and maybe as I get more of a tan I will like it more, but I plan on purchasing something different in the future.

During my glitter/shimmer phase a few years ago I had been using Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer because it had big swirls of heavy shimmer throughout the powder. I recently got the LORAC baked bronzer in a Sephora best seller kit and it instantly reminded me of the PF bronzer. It was just an itty bitty travel size thing. I liked it okay but it doesn't make me want to dish out $32 for a full size one when the PF is pretty much an exact dupe but for 1/3 of the price.

This bronzer is gorgeous. 98% of the time, I steer clear of anything shimmery for my face. But the shimmer of the TANtalizer baked bronzer is so subtle and gorgeous, I let it slide. It is surprisingly long-lasting; I wore it out for happy hour and then sweated out a night of dancing and my skin still looked sun-kissed by the time I got home. I only bought the $6 sample size at Ulta, and my only complaint would be the packaging is difficult to open. Otherwise, I'd say this is a pretty perfect bronzer.

Got this in a Sephora makeup tester kit and I am very pleased to say the least. Very pigmented might offend some but it works great on my skin tone. Its a bit on the warm orangy side but does not look fake on me if applied sparingly. I use this mostly as an everyday eyeshadow but I also apply lightly to my cheeks sometimes chin, nose and forehead. Don't really like the packaging dropped it and the bronzer didn't break thank goodness but now the cover doesn't stay on that great. I would buy again but I'm cheap so maybe a similar product for less than. If I see this again and the price is right why not.

I found a $6 mini Lorac TANtalizer baked bronzer in ULTA. I adore the cute sliding clear packaging, but it is a little tough to open- nothing I can't get over though. I got a pretty good amount product for only $6 (I can imagine how much product the regular sized version gives you - I heard it's $36!!) so I didn't think it was costly at all. the product is amazing! I have read some reviews on here on how it looks orange, etc. well on my pale white skin, it looked lovely! it came off in a sheer peachy/orange color, but it looked good. it has subtle sparkles in it which look gorgeous when the sun hits them, but not so obvious that it screams "vampire!" or anything. keep in mind though that i dont use this bronzer to contour, i apply this directly to my cheekbones to reflect light. so, i think i use it as a highlighted then? well im not sure, but i do know that this product manages to look fabulous but also natural, which is just what im looking for! 5/5.

I have wanted one of these for a while now but found it hard to spend $32 on a bronzer. But......I went to Ulta the other day had they had a trial size for purchase and i was ONLY $6!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't have the cute little brush on the bottom like the full size but hey it was SIX DOLLARS!!!!! I've used it only twice so far but i think it's great. Will update if my opinion changes.

I received a deluxe sample as a swap extra and didn’t think too much of it. Convenient for my traveling needs and tiny enough to keep lying around and accessible for quick bronzing (often times, I will just wear a cheek product and nothing else).
This reminds me of Urban Decay’s Baked Bronzer, but with more white shimmery particles. It’s definitely more sheeny, if that makes sense? It’s an unmistakable peachy bronze – may look orange on a lot of skin tones so be sure to test it out first if possible.
This bronzer looks “natural” in low light or overcast lit settings, but in stark sunlight – Shimmer City – definitely not a subtle look in those conditions. However, the formula of the stuff is quite nice – uniform very fine shimmer, almost a high shine satin, but not large sparkle particles.
I only use this on my cheeks – I can’t fathom using it as a contour, since it’s so freaking shimmery – or on my forehead – would probably make me look greasy.
I wouldn’t purchase a full size version of this. It definitely perks up my medium tan Asian skin, but it’s not a holy grail product. I bet this would look great on the eyelids – will try that next!

Brown girls unite!!!!! I know this is meant to be used as a bronzer but I ue it as a highlighter/Luminizer. It's very warm toned and just looks lovely on my skin. I apply this to the apple of my cheeks over just about every blush color I own. Looks great with pinks(love it over Dollymix) and browns, as well as tangerine blushes, it really just adds another dimension to my look. I will say that it is SUPER expensive but it works out because it's huge. Sephora had the mini's on sale for a while in their beauty to go section. I picked up a couple for my friends and one for my mom, hey you can't beat five bucks. Beautiful on brown skin, absolutely beautiful.

I don't know quite how to rate this item. I got a chance to try out LORAC's TANtalizer Baked Bronzer when I purchased my Jetsetter set.


I can't say much about the packaging because what I received was the sample size, but it's not anything special. Moving onto the product itself, after having tried this with various types of blush brushes, maybe it's just me and my lack of skills, but it was almost impossible to just get a little on the brush. Even after dusting off the excess, the bronzer went on thick and paint-like and did not blend at all, even after blending, blending and blending some more.

Maybe others will have more luck with this, but this made my pale skin with pink undertones turn ORANGE. Thank goodness this came with the package and I bought the set when it was on sale because this is just something that I am not going to buy even for a dollar.

I went into Sephora looking for a face highlighter/bronzer. The sales lady recommended this product. I am of south east asian (Indian) origin and have a tanned brown complexion I am a C6 in Mac studio finish powders and a NC43 in Mach Studio Tech Cream to powder foundation. She tried it on me and it actually gave me a sun kissed look and highlight. Yes the product is quite intense in its shimmer but I think the trick is in the type of make up brush you use. You need to use a fluffier brush which would give your a sheerer application of the product and that I believe was more flattering than if you used a thiner brush which would have a denser application. I do think that this might not be the best product for lighter skin toned people because it would come off as rather orange on their skin. However, darker toned people would definitely find as I call a Beyonce glow to them after using this. I have also used this product on my legs and it looks very sexy! It evens out your skin and gives a shimmer finish to it, I don't think I would buy this product again because I have found some face highlighters that I like and matte bronzers that I prefer. It was a fun buy and I enjoy using it every now and then plus there is a lot of product and I can tell this is going to last me a veryyy long time.

I bought this after having it applied on me in Sephora. I think I was a little fooled because I was already wearing bronzer (a Smashbox one I got in a kit that is matte, inconspicuous, and has a good color for my skin tone). I can't see why I spent so much money on this bronzer. The end result isn't justified. I'm fair with a lot of pink tones in my skin, and this didn't really seem to counteract it. I felt like this bronzer had a 'rosy' sort of pigment that would work wonderfully as a blush but not as a bronzer. Plus, the over the top shimmer is a little too much. It's really pretty, but not worth the expensive price tag. I think this is better suited for olive tones or darker skin. As I can see in the reviews, the people who love this the most are those with olive/tan skin. Fair pink girls, this might not be for you. Yes, I think it would probably take some effort and expert bronzing skills to get this to look awesome, but I don't have time for that. I want to take the bronzer and brush it on (I'll even use the '3' method... oooh!) and look amazing (I know, high expectations... haha). I know there are better bronzers out there for what I'm looking for, especially for a lot less money.
