    This is my all time FAVORITE bronzer! I have fair skin (N4) and I thought it would be way too dark, but I was completely wrong! It makes my skin bronzed without an orange finish. The sparkles add a...

    When VS discontinued their Sunny Cheeks line and changed it to Very Sexy, I thought that maybe I'd look for the same one in that line, then I decided I didn't want to anymore and went to see what...

    This is my all-time favorite bronzer. I picked it up over a year ago at a MAC stand when I was on vacation in CA. The MA recommended this shade for me and taught me the best places to apply it. ...

    This used to be one of my favorite products! I'm Latina with a medium olive complexion, so it looked great on... but I noticed I would break out where it was applied. (Cheeks/chin/nose/forehead) I...

    I think that this is an excellent bronzer. I have light/medium skin tone (more medium this time of year), blonde hair, and blue eyes. As someone who has tried pretty much everything under the sun...

    This bronzer was so... yucky! It barely showed up on my NC 37-42 skin. I HATED the annoying gold sparkles, and the texture was weird....it was really thin somehow. I B2M this bronzer, having used...

    I'm leery about MAC's complexion products - particularly the foundations and powders, as I've had the experience of la Oompa Loompa on my combination NC25-30 skin. But I wanted more color to my...

    While I like this, I don't love it. I'm not crazy about the sparkles, and it is easy to over-do it. I am an olive FFF (NC30ish). The sparkles really don't show up on my skin thank goodness. This...

    Looks great on my C3 skin -- gives me a naturally darklook when I want to go for more colour. Its very easy to do an overkill with this bronzer because I went to a wedding and saw the pictures...

    I tried "Golden" before and was curious to try "Refined Golden". So the other day I finally went out and purchased it. I thought "Refined Golden" would have less sparkles(not that I don't LOVE...

    Nice bronzer love the tiny golden flecks. They hit your face in the right spots. Great color and texture stays put all day and sticks great to my moistirizer and foundation. Little too expensive...

    Wasn't crazy about this one. It looked a bit orangy on me, and I just didn't think it was worth the price at all. Don't know what else to say, the color was just really bad on me.

    The trick to not look orange-y or glittery- use a big fluffy face brush. Don't apply it like a blush. It's now a staple in my make up bag. All I had to do was apply sparingly.
