Physicians Formula Summer Eclipse Bronzing & Shimmery Face Powder

Rated a 8.0
With the right brush (not included), Physicians Formula Summer Eclipse adds a warm, summer glow to any complexion. The reasonably priced, pressed powder comes in a palm-sized compact (no mirror) and combines sheer "tan" coverage with light gold shimmer. Ideal for sensitive skin, it's great for adding sparkle, a touch of color and a bit of confidence on days when you don't have time for a full face of makeup. (Darker skin types will notice the shimmer but likely not the color.) Comes in three shades, each with a celestially themed design.

April 28, 2008, 5:06 pm I really enjoy the Physicians Formula Bronzing and Shimmery Compact. I have a few products from this line that have really worked for me and I have no doubt that this would do the same for me. The color combination is sure to give you the look of great tan. If you don't tan very well, this product will give you the appearance of a beachy glow without the skin risks of tanning. The attractive pattern makes it even more fun to use. This is by far my favorite bronzer product! April 28, 2008, 5:06 pm

    Fantastic! Even For Fair Skin

    I had this bronzer in my possesion for a good month or so before using it. My mother had given it to me. She found it on sale and thought I could use it.

November 24, 2007, 10:39 am I had this bronzer in my possesion for a good month or so before using it. My mother had given it to me. She found it on sale and thought I could use it. I was very wary at first, since I had never used bronzer before, but I gave it a go. I used a big fluffy brush to place the color and it came out perfectly. I was just the right amount of nuance and gave me nice glow without going overboard. You have to use a light touch but it gets the job done. It also fared well with my naturally oily skin. No gunky look towards the end of the day, and did not get an orange cast either. Just Love It! November 24, 2007, 10:39 am

    Loved until I saw it in pictures

    I wore this every day for months and adored it. I thought it gave me a natural looking golden bronzed glow.

I thought it gave me a natural looking golden bronzed glow. I really couldn't detect any shimmer when looking in the mirror or at my reflection outside. Then I saw it in pictures. I was a disco ball!! The gold shimmer looked like chunks of glitter all over my face, neck and chest. I trashed it immediately. I gave it a four because the color of bronze is really nice. If you love glitter, you'll love this. Its just not for me. May 21, 2008, 5:28 pm

    Light and Flawless with a Beautiful Bronze Glow!

    My daughter's complexion is very fair and pale. She can't wait for the summer to get that bronze summer glow.

    Not a bronzer, but a good highlighter

    by Lifeofaladybug (17 reviews)
    At least for me, a medium-skinned African American woman, this does not work as a bronzer at all. It's not dark enough to do the trick, thought this is supposedly the darkest of these bronzers. However, it does add a nice golden glow that can be used as a highlight on cheekbones, should you so desire. And the design is v...

    Gorgeous Glow

    by GoddessB (2 reviews)
    I LOVE PF cosmetics, especially the organics...this one is no disappointment either. I love shimmer and this one made my face glow without looking shiny, that's hard to do. No streaks and a sweet summer tan without the sun damage. May 20, 2008, 3:54 pm

    Love it!

    by mvap47 (338 reviews)
    I love the brand, so I tried the bronzer. I love the added designs they put in there to almost entertain me. I"m not sure if it has any impact on how I feel it works, but it gives me a colorful glow. May 6, 2008, 5:50 am
