Editor Review

Rated a 9

What's not to love? A surprisingly large tin of pressed powder contains natural-looking colors rich enough to blend into fading tan lines. Expect slight iridescence, but not junior-high glitter. The four shades can make cheekbones and eyelids on fair to medium skins look sun-kissed, not like you've OD'd on beta-carotene. But the darkest setting might not be enough for some. Cargo's circular tin is indestructible, but the uniform packaging makes it difficult to distinguish from other products from the brand.

    Good Pick

    Uh I agree with everyone else on this one. I love that the glitter isnt overpowering, as we cant all be on camera, it's a great everyday subtle bronzer that accentuates without making you look like a shiny mess Lol. The dark is actually quite nice for dark skin too, but here in canada you can get it cheaper at The Bay then ...in Sephora, as they still havent adjusted to the high Canadian Dollar.

    Love it!

    I got this bronzer for free as a Sephora deluxe sample, but I'd heard good things for ages. I'm so glad I decided on it! I love that it doesn't make my face look dirty or orange and that it's in a small package (good things come in small packages!). If I actually run out of it (probably not likely, considering my bronzer ...collection/obsession), I'll definitely buy it. I recommend it! June 3, 2008, 10:22 am

    A must have!

    by firepail (16 reviews)
    CARGO's bronzer is a great find and beauty bag staple. CARGO didn't leave us pale girls behind, and their Light shade is believable even on those of us that just don't tan. It applies easily and doesn't change color over the course of the day (or night), isn't too shimmery for day or too matte to blend. This one is a win...ner! February 21, 2008, 9:35 am

    Can't get enough!

    I bought this in LA when it was the #1 seller at Sephora. Once I tried it, I knew why! I've tried other expensive bronzers and I always come back to my CARGO bronzer. It gives the perfect glow without looking too glittery. The color applies well, not splotchy. Just keep layering for your desired glow. February 17, 2008, 7:09 pm

    Great, basic bronzer

    by cherrypie (128 reviews)

    This bronzer does a good job. It's not too matte, not too shimmery, and the shades are very natural. Maybe too natural for some, but you can layer it a bit to achieve more color. This is my go-to bronzer for cooler months because it always looks very natural and gives me a non-greasy, healthy glow. May 22, 2008, 12:37 pm

    Your face will glow

    by Rhyolite1 (15 reviews)
    This is the first bronzer I have ever bought and I love it. Durring the summer it makes my face look sun kissed (even though I try to avoid the sun and constantly put on spf 50 sunblock). Durring the winter I lightly use it as a blush. I have olive skin tone and this one works perfectly. April 30, 2008, 12:00 pm

    Love it!

    by lori4beauty (3 reviews)
    This bronzer is fabulous! I have a complexion on the fairer side and the cargo bronzer is easy to work with. You can put it on lightly for a sunkissed look or even use it a little more heavy for a more bronzed look on the apples of your cheeks. February 6, 2008, 10:49 am

    My favorite bronzer!

    by Lifeofaladybug (41 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTotal Beauty BloggerTrusted Review
    I love that the CARGO line of bronzers come in shades suitable for light, medium and darker skintones. I have both medium and dark - medium for the winter and fall when I'm paler and dark for spring and summer, after my skin has gotten some sun. I love the soft sparkle and the enormous size of the product. The only thing... that would make the line better is if CARGO offered a matte bronzer in the Dark shade. January 24, 2008, 8:54 am

    my favorite bronzer

    by jenniferseee (3 reviews)
    I've tried many bronzers but none compare to cargo's. I love this well blending product and maintains a natural effect in many lights. It gives the perfect sun-kissed effect without the skin damaging consequences! November 25, 2007, 6:56 pm

    I tried this bronzer at sephora and have been addicted ever since. I wear it year round for just a little touch of color to my otherwise VERY pale skin. It doesn't make you look orangey like some bronzers and it is not too sparkly for day time. January 18, 2008, 11:16 am
