True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer - Sunkissed

My favourite bronzer of all times, hands down. I have been using it EVERY SINGLE DAY for last two years and I have not hit pan on it yet! Perfect, natural looking bronzed skin especially for pale folk like me (I am Chanel B20 and I guess MAC NC20). There is no fragrance, no allergic reaction, it does not give me pimples, does not have any visible shimmer (although you can see it in the product itself, but it is micro shimmer, not visible on the skin) and it just WORKS every time. I have only recently bought another bronzer (with a slightly redder, warmer undertone to use more like a blush rather than bronzer) so it says a lot that I was relying on this product every single time when applying makeup and getting the desired result each time I applied it on my face. I still need to have my Clinique bronzer on me so my idea of limiting makeup I have in my stash did not quite went as planned... The only glitch I have with it is the packaging - other reviewers mentioned fragile hinge and the closing mechanism, I wish Clinique would sort that one out because it makes it pretty impossible to carry with you in your makeup bag for touch ups. I have impression that is fades a bit during the day so it would be nice to have that option but instead I just keep it safe on my dressing table as I hate broken packaging - it puts me right off from using even the most expensive product! I use a large, round, with tightly packed fibers brush from Real Techniques to apply it (its shape is exactly the size of the Clinique pan, maybe that is the explanation why I have not seen the bottom of the pan yet) in a stippling motion on my cheek area (contouring does not look good on me and is too much of a faff in the morning) and I absolutely love it. If you are fair and do not want to look obviously bronzed do yourself a favour and buy this bronzer instead of any other (Rimmel and NARS I am talking to you here) and you will look truly sun kissed instead of just made up to look like that.

I have been reaching for this bronzer a lot lately. I think it works so well for me right now in the dead of winter because my skin is so pale. (I'm about an NC15.) It's not super pigmented and that's a plus for me. I contour with it and it looks very natural. Easy to blend. The packaging is very sturdy and nice. However--I also think there are good drugstore bronzers out there. So I'm not sure it's necessary to spend $26 on a bronzer. Even though I did. :) Will definitely continue to use this bronzer but not sure if it will work when I have more color in the summer.

This was my third or something bronzer ever. I started out with cheap supermarket brands like Maybelline and L'Oréal, but finally decided it was time to step it up. As I was doing my Christmas purchases (from me to me), I fell in love with Clinique as a brand. There I found several products I liked: an amazing oil-free foundation with sheer coverage (seriously, this is a must-try if you have oily skin!), a blush, a highlighter, etc. Along with all the stuff I got, I decided to give this bronzer a try. Honestly, it's the only product that I regret buying from Clinique so far. PROS: - Beautiful packaging. - Well pigmented (which means you don't have to use the whole thing just to see a bit of color like many other bronzers and blushes). - Easy to apply with an appropriate brush (I use the #116 brush by MAC Cosmetics). CONS: - Expensive. - Shimmery/Glittery, which is a big no no for me! It looks too artificial. - Fades away throughout the day, leaving only pieces of glitter behind, which looks awful. Overall, I don't recommend this product for two main reasons: it doesn't last on the skin and it's very glittery looking. On top of that, it's expensive. NEXT! By the way, if you have any questions regarding the products I mentioned or something else, feel free to ask.

I like this as an all over bronzer. It has a nice shimmer and isn't too much to look like you have glitter on. It works perfectly when I'm in between a foundation shade or just trying to make one last longer without buying more foundation :)

Love this bronzer more than any other!!!!!! It gives a gorgeous natural glow and is slightly shimmery perfect for summer or the beach ,lasts all day great for contouring and just .........speechless

Love this bronzer! I have fair skin so it's hard for me to find a bronzer that doesn't just make me look dirty. I also like the little brush it comes with, its very soft!

Unfortunately both myself and my mum suffered from an allergic reaction to this bronzer, resulting in mass spots - the horror! So of course I won't be repurchasing, however I think it's worth saying that I loved the colour of this bronzer, the way it applied to my skin was beautiful and I thought the packaging was really handy with a nice big mirror! The price didn't phase me, it was quite middle of the range in my opinion. However, i'm allergic! Bummer.

Gorgeous bronzer! Perfect for my skin tone and gives me that natural "sun kissed" glow. It's also a great contour color to give my face more definition and shape. It lasts and lasts, I've had this baby for almost 6 months and I haven't even reached the bottom and I use it daily! Wow! You can even use it as an all over "powder" (if you have a darker complexion) for more of a glow! Definitely recommended!

Since I’m already using the Clinique pressed powder I figured I’d try their bronzer as well and I love it just as much. They have a lovely selection of colours in a few different finishes which all look wonderful on the skin. Just like the powder, this product won’t clog your pores. Also, I’ve never had a problem with this or any of the products listed above when it comes to oxidization.

I dont buy that much clinique... but this is a product that i swear by, and is worth the extra money. The problem I have, is that my skin is usually very fair, and the cheap bronzers just look orange when i put them on. i have to do so much mixing and matching in order to be able to wear it. I love this bronzer, because of its golden tones, it starts out pretty light and you can build on it- to get yourself as dark as youd like. I also like the slight shimmer, frost this product has. Its not cheap looking overly glittery or anything, its got the perfect amount of shimmer to give you that 'glowing' look, which is so flattering- especially in the summer when you sweat and your face will glistens... the color is just flattering and works really well in the warmer months. <3
