"This is a pretty color, but I couldn't tell if it ever made a difference and couldn't see it on my face. It also broke me out, so I had to return it."
— Lisa N. (1/5)

— karen g. (5/5)
"I used this once and the stick broke. Not great after spending $38. I would not recommend this."
— Tannaz A. (1/5)
"I bought this to pair with the blush. It adds dimension to my melanin-blessed skin, giving it a sun kissed look. I also like that I can use it as an eye shadow to give my eyes a bit of a shadow. The texture is smooth and it’s lightweight. It blends well with just the warmth of my fingers. And it still looks good at the end of the day."
— Vira (5/5)
"Repurchase!"
— Al (5/5)
"This contour is light and a great subtle shade for my fair skin. I’m a redhead and the lightest shade blends perfectly for me."
— Caroline S. (4/5)
"Heavy bronzers always felt too harsh and patchy on my skin, especially on minimal makeup days. This quickly became my go-to bronzer because it blends effortlessly and adds the perfect touch of warmth without heavy contour. It gives me a soft, sun-kissed glow that looks natural and makes me feel confident and put together with almost no effort :)"
— Camille R. (5/5)
"I love how buildable and user-friendly this is! As a pale girlie, I love how I can apply this liberally to give myself a much needed wash of color, without worrying about it looking muddy or unblended like most other bronzers. Exactly what a bronzer should be doing!!"
— Danielle L. (5/5)
"Melts into skin- highly recommended"
— Angela L. (5/5)
