LAURA MERCIER BRONZING GEL
TWMichello (160 reviews)

I love this! I ordered it online without ever seeing it in person and when I saw the color I thought I'd hate it. I don't. It's a very natural color (great for my NC 20-25 skin). Blends like a dream without being greasy and it actually lasts on my skin (I minor miracle) I add it to foundation sometimes to give a little more color and that works really well. On weekends I sometimes just use this and some concealer and it looks great. Much more natural than powder bronzer in my opinion. This one really surprised me and I'm so glad I tried it. This is an absolute HG for me! I love love love this bronzer! I hate it when I go on holiday, get a tan and then all of a sudden I am left with ridiculously pale foundation to wear for the next few months; not with this baby! Literally a little of this mixed in with which ever lighter foundation you have a you are set, you can build up the colour so go gradually but you will always be able to get the colour right. On its own it is a really lovely build-able bronzer, that dries and doesn't leave you feeling all oily PLUS it has absolutely zero shimmer so you can use this to achieve a nice natural tan look. If I am going out and want to get the pasty legs out and I have nothing to help, then a bit of this mixed in with my body lotion and suddenly I have gorgeous tanned pins (expensive for legs so try not to do this too often)... the list could go on for uses I have found for this! I highly highly recommend! This gives a lovely tanned natural colour, not some weird orange that so many bronzers have! I got this after a LM makeover. I was initally a little nervous about a bronzing gel rather than a powder, but now I am so glad I went for the gel! I apply it after my foundation with a sponge lightly spritzed with water (This is how the makeup artist applyed it). This makes it go on very sheer so it doesn't look fake on my oh-so-pale skin. I've also tried mixing it with a little moisturizer which also works really well. It has a very slight shimmer and makes my skin look warm and healthy, and I shouldn't have worried at all as it's really easy to apply. I love this stuff! — 1 month, 2 weeks ago

A Workable Bronzer
ShanthiDevi (90 reviews)

This is a gel, not a lotion. The gel seems for some reason to work better that the liquid types. The color is strong but I find mixing it with a bit of foundation or moisturizer works great. Also if you just put a bit on a finger and lightly dot in desired places and blend well it does well also. Looking for a bronzer? This is a must check out. — 2 months ago

Nice Light Bronzing Gel
Kamala_Kirk (43 reviews)

This is a nice and light gel that is great mixed in with other liquid makeup or also good if you just want to blend some into your cheeks and onto your eyelids. Great when you want a more luminous glow! — 10 months, 1 week ago

works great
Suziet (1 reviews)

I just bought this body bronzer and I love it. I have fair skin and a freckly complexion, this bronzer helped to camoflauge my freckles and gave a nice glow. It seems to have a tint of pink or red in it which makes the color look less flat and more natural. It smells like coconut too! — 1 year, 11 months ago

Love it!
mageary (5 reviews)

The only make-up I like to wear is bronzer and mascara. This is the perfect thing for me. My friend, who is a make-up artist for the line suggested this product. It goes on smooth and even and you don't feel like you have anything caked on. It's awesome!! Truly a must have...great beach glow!! Maureen — 4 years ago

Very versataille
denvermakeupguru (17 reviews)

I frequently mix this into foundation, primers, tinted moisturizers - you name it. It's a staple in my kit. In a pinch, I press it into the skin if my client looks a tad too pale. A little goes a long way. This was supposed to be limited edition a few years back - but due to its popularity, Laura kept it around! — 4 years ago

Pretty tan in a bottle
minxygirl (8 reviews)

I like the warm color this gives you - when so many bronzers may you look orange and odd. This gel goes on easily and it looks very natural. It's nice and lightweight to, which helps when you live in the South — 4 years, 5 months ago

Cost efficient
avadiane (2 reviews)

I use this product year round to customize my foundation. I use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and depending on my skin color (no tan, med. tan, tan) I get just the right color without having to buy more than one foundation. It is also light enough to wear to the gym — 4 years, 6 months ago
