CHANEL BRONZE UNIVERSEL DE CHANEL SUN ILLUMINATOR
This was expensive, but definitely worth the money. You get a lot of product. In the summer, I will use concealer and this all over like a foundation. In the winter, I use this as bronzer/contour colour. It goes on very smoothly. Unlike all other cream products I have tried in the past, this does not accentuate the acne scarring on my cheeks. In fact, it makes my skin appear more smooth. After a year of use nearly every day, I have hit pan. I apply this with a powder brush. I have no problems with this fading throughout the day. The colour is extremely natural and makes me look tan. This is not a product that makes your skin feel sticky either. I have no problems wearing it when I am on vacation somewhere warm. It gives your skin the tiniest glow, not shiny, not sparkly, but more of a smooth healthy skin glow. In photographs, it makes you look like you have perfect, smooth skin. This product has an amazing smell as well. I usually do not like my face products having a scent but I don't mind this one! I haven't had any issues with this product drying out. I do keep the inner lid though. My one problem is that the jar (although pretty) is too large for travel. I can not imagine actually finishing this giant tub of product, but when I do, I fully expect to repurchase this gem! I really think this is one of the very best bronzer out there. I generally tend to think any alternative powder product has more fall out and less lasting power than this silicone-based one. Bronze Universel really lasts and provides a really warm and natural looking color to the skin. I like it when I am winter pale to just warm up the skin and also love it to enhance my skin when it is already slightly dark. I like how I am able to build up the intensity or leave it fairly faint to just punch up a sallow light skin. There is no shimmer to this product, so if you are looking to build a very natural color, this would be an excellent product to try out! I can only think of two reasons someone would not like this product: they are too pale for the one shade (or perhaps too dark)...or they are applying it completely wrong. Sometimes if I'm too heavy-handed with this stuff it can end up looking muddy and mask-like, but if you use the correct brush and apply it correctly it gives a very natural, glowing tan. It's subtle, again if you use a light hand and don't jam your brush into the jar, but gives a good glow without being a tan glitter bomb or a muddy matte mess. Also I think it would be great for girls who go without foundation - just to give a little glow to tired looking skin. Sadly I am not one of those girls...but it would look beautiful on bare skin. Be careful when purchasing this at the store because I lot of Chanel counter girls (especially at Macy's) have no idea what this product even is and may claim they don't have it when, in fact, they do and it's right there in the case. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 15 people said helpful

A_M_A_Z_I_N_G!
This product is raved about so much in youtube by the gurus! After 2 years of hearing over and over it about it I decided to go ahead and spend 50 dollars on it! I must say that it is definitely worth the price. The shade is beautiful, not orange and artificial looking. very natural, build able and bleandable! The most important part, it didn't break me out or clog any of my pores. It is for all skin types. The only bad part is that there is only one shade. It is only for light to medium skin tones. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 11 people said helpful

Sunkissed or Deep Dark Tan
I am a medien toned AAW. This is remarkable because it blends in so well that I even have that sunkissed look. this is hard to achieve on dark brown skin due to the depth of the skin tone.. I love this stuff and it packs well, not a liquid so it can get on the plane with you... — 2 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 7 people said helpful

Now this is a great bronzer
Of all the bronzers I tried out there, this is one of the best (if not the best) product I've used thus far. The color pay-off is excellent and I only need one application to get the desired effect I'm going for. Of course the color can be built upon by additional application. The product's consistency is silky, smooth and a breeze to blend. On my skin, it wore for the whole day without so much as getting cakey or orangey. The product isn't cheap by any means but a little of this goes a long way. I've had mine for a couple of months now and I hardly made a dent in it. The best aspect of all is it gives me the "your skin, only better" look which is very natural and doesn't look too opaque. — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Sun Kissed Look ala Young California Skinny Girl
The uniqueness about this Bronzer is the easiness of its blend-ability and the beauty of its shade which gives you that healthy glowing look versus looking dirty and smudgy with other bronzers in the market. The light reflecting pigments and tiny bit glittery effects gives a rather young look. Now, who doesn't want that? I use t his on my face, neck and decollate to compliment my teint innocence makeup. I don't tan and yet this Bronzer give me that Sun Kissed Look ala Young California Skinny Girl Oh Sooo sexy... — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 11 people said helpful

Natural tan skin ladies
After trying out foundation after foundation and not being able to match my medium tan skin without looking like I was wearing a mask, I discovered this! Hallelujah! This has been my foundation for 3 years now, I will never use anything else. The coverage, the colour, the texture just WOW! All my Indian tan skin friends have bought this since I raved about it so much. The huge container lasts a very long time and before I have even finished it I have another one peeking out from my vanity drawer so I never, ever run out. This is like magic for all the tan skin ladies out there. Try it, you will never go back to foundation or any other bronzer. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Reality
I have tried so many face bronze's. Most of them, clog your pores. Rub off on your work cloths. They also look unnatural? This is a real treat? No break-outs what so ever? That is a bonus? Thank-god for that? Stays on your face. Quality is fantastic. Give this an 8? Application was once threw a busy, hot day? The only thing that I thought it would be in some differ shades? But it is SUN? Came in a great compact too? — 4 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 8 people said helpful

miracle product
I just tried this product this weekend. My best friend uses it on her already tanned complexion but she suggested I try it and it was amazing. It was natural bronze on me, evened out my complexion and felt like ABSOLUTELY nothing was on my face. I will buying my own very soon..another homerun for Chanel. — 4 years, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful
