NARS Cosmetics Bronzing Powder - Laguna

My all-time favorite bronzer. I have never tried another one I love as much as this! It's the perfect tone for a variety of skin types, doesn't appear dusty on the skin, applies just the perfect amount to blend out easily and look natural. It isn't shimmery and the compact comes with a fantastic mirror for makeup on the go. I will 100% buy this again - it is a holy grail bronzer for me.

I received a sample of this and started using it recently. And honestly, I kind of want to get rid of all my other bronzers. I received a ton of compliments from everyone I ran into saying that I looked radiant. It never happens. I'm really into it and it's the only product I'm not afraid to overdo. Not orange! I would have never believed that a bronzer would make such a difference. Will buy the full size as soon as I run out!

This was my go-to bronzer for a looooong time. I've since moved on, but it's a great product. Just wish the black Nars packaging wouldn't get so gross.

This is a sheer bronzer... has a lovely warm golden glow that is verrry subtle. Under the right natural lighting it is very soft and pretty. But in artificial lighting I barely see it. The base colour is a warm (yellow-orange) brown, it's not well pigmented compared to other bronzers ( ie The Balm-Betty Lou Manizer- although I use it more as a highlight bronzer) I own as it barely shows up on my fair skin, slightly tanned skin (face) in the summer months. I do like to wear Laguna in the early spring late winter months and it serves well for this purpose. I think this is a great bronzer for ladies who don't want too much make-up but just need a wash of definition without being over the top...slim packaging makes it easy for travel.

hands down the best bronzer i've ever used, its the perfect shade for my lighter skin tone and is never patchy on my face! Reasonable price for the brand too

My HG bronzer. Very nearly finished my first one and have a back up ready. It was my wedding present to myself:) I'm an NC20-25 and it's a lovely shade on me. If my skin is in good form I use this and concealer and look healthy, but put together. I also use it on my eyes with a black liquid liner and flick.

Curious to try it in stick form or other shades of Nars bronzer or blush based on the back of my love for this. Will keep repurchasing.

Love love love this bronzer! Its such a gorgeous shade, doesn't appear muddy on the skin and stay's in place on the skin beautifully for hours. My ONLY downside would have to be that i find that i hit pan and go through this product really quickly. Although when i had this product i used it almost everyday, i didn't use that much of it however i still hit pan rather quickly. Despite that though i love this product, and i do think the pro's outweigh the con

I've bought a new matte edition of Laguna, it's called Sun Wash Diffusing Bronzer.

Pros:
- a beautiful light neutral color that's impossible to screw up
- light pigmentation, buildable
- very little bit of shimmer
- no nasty ingredients ( the big step forward compared to the original version)
- love the packaging (it's bigger than original, it has a larger mirror and sleek rectangular design. very modern easy to pack and stuck)
- doesn't break out my very sensitive skin

Cons:
- it's very finely milled and has zero fall-outs when picked up by brush. It takes serious effort to build it up. Much more effort than with BareMinerals Invisible bronzer.
- staying power isn't great, I can't see it after a couple of hours

Very nice beginner bronzer. But I don't think I'll buy it again.

I've been using Mac Matte Bronze for about 10 yrs!!! It's my HG, but I wanted to try Laguna. The color in the pan was different enough to justify my purchase. Laguna is more pigmented, an more yellow. I do love it, but on my nc25 skin it didn't look very different. When I swatched on my wrist I could see a subtle difference, but on my face they look identical and wore the same. I actually prefer the less pigmented Mac also, as I can build desired color. For the price I couldn't justify the Nars so I returned it, since I have 3 backups of Mac. Had there been an improvement I would have kept it.

Laguna and I have been together a long time. Along the way I've strayed to try others but have always come back.

I am fairly light and this is neither orange, ashy, sparkly, streaky or dirty looking - all of which I found others to be, sometimes all at once. It's a little pricey and their packaging drives me absolutely nuts (hard to clean and always looks dirty) but it's a great bronzer.
