Bonne Bell Gel Bronze

Average member rating of 7.0
Average member rating
Rated a 8.5
Great for those gun-shy of facial self-tanners, this oil-free bronzer gives you a natural-looking glow without streaking, and it washes off easily. It acts like a stain, so you do have to wash your hands after applying (or use a makeup sponge to apply) -- not so great for on-the-go use. The color is sheer and build-able, though, so even the darkest of the three shades is foolproof.

    Great product for a great price

I didn't look orange or super scary tan; this just gave me a little extra color. Like all self tanners, make sure to wash your hands pretty quickly after application or it will stain your fingers.

    Excellent and cheap!

    by calicokitty (158 reviews)
    I've been purchasing this product on and off for the last 5 years. I use it once in a awhile for my face, but mostly for my legs in the summer. It has a great gel consistency that glides/blends in easily over your skin. Absolutely no pilling or streaking. Definately a "best buy" for drugstore cosmetics! February 11, 2008, 4:43 pm

    Very easy to use!

    by ang093006 (112 reviews)
    I like this bronzer. It gave a very sheer, natural look to my pale skin. It is also easy to mix with foundation, if you want to darken it up a bit. June 22, 2008, 6:09 pm

    its okay

    by AmyB58 (198 reviews)
    its an okay product however if your wanting your face to appear bronzed looking, than you would be better off using a spray on tanner as this barely is noticable. its easy to use and doesn't streak because you hardly can notice it. April 25, 2008, 11:57 am

    Summer staple

    by evotz2 (2 reviews)
    I've used Bonne Bell's gel bronzer for years. I mix it with my foundation to subtly change the color as the summer progresses. I only gave it 9 stars because it does stain a bit. August 3, 2008, 5:53 am

    Bonne Bell Gel Bronze

    by minvegas (1 review)
    LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I think that it works great & the price is great. It is easy to apply and the results are very natural. The only downside is that it's not always easy to find in stores... July 28, 2008, 11:24 am

    Great shine and feel, little bronze

    by JaimeLeah (28 reviews)
    I love the texture of this "bronzer" and the shimmer and slightly darker color it leaves on my skin. A little goes a long way so this tube will last forever. My only gripe is the fact that it doesn't really make my skin much darker but it's great over another bronzer as a luminizer. July 25, 2008, 2:26 pm
