Perfect bronze color
I have this in the loose powder, and I love it!! I use it on my shoulders, decollete, and neck when I am wearing a dress or tank. It is deep enough for my tanned skin, and blends in beautifully and looks very natural. I wouldn't use the one I have on my face, just because the brush is very big. But that makes it perfect for larger areas of the body! Love it! — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Wonderful!!!!
I get so many compliments on my "glowing" skin & I know that its all due to this bronzer! I was under the impression that on my skin tone bronzer wasn't a product I needed but Ulta was having a sale (darn you Ulta & your sales!!!) so I picked this up. I love that it isn't sparkly, I'm 23 I don't want to walk around glittering all the time but this just gives my skin this wonderful finish. As long as they make this bronzer I'll be a life long user! — 11 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Best Matte Drugstore Bronzer
This is a back-of-the-stash product that I found as I was organizing my set-up. Physician's Formula Bronze Booster promises a moisturizing, vitamin filled golden glow that will last all day and give you an easily buildable bronze. I don't know about vitamin filled, bit I would say it delivers on all other claims. One of the great things about the bronzers in this series is that they are perfectly matte which makes them great for contouring. Most people think bronzing and contour are synonymous, but they most definitely are not. Most "bronzers" are used to add depth under the cheek bones and up into the temples so a little shimmer - or a lot as most have - isn't so bad. If, however, you are trying to contour or define the sides of your nose, create a natural looking eye crease, or add depth under your eyebrows, a shimmery powder will make your contouring work look fake. That's why this little guy is an asset. Let's talk about quality, now. This bronzer is smooth and, surprisingly, not chalky for being a matte bronzer. The only problem I encountered with it, hence why it ended up at the back of my stash, is that it wasn't dark enough for me. I know, I can't believe I typed those words in that order either, but it's true. Too light for me. While it is buildable, the amount I would have to build it to make it noticable would have made it the same shade, just more opaque and not natural by any means. The wear time is great as well. I didn't put it through rigorous testing, but for average wear around the house, on errands, etc., it stayed put! Perhaps it will find its way back in my beauty routine this winter, but for now it rests at the back of my collection. Verdict: This is a great matte drug store bronzer, and I highly recommend it if you need a contour powder. Just make sure you get your shade! — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Favorite Bronzer
This is the best bronzer I've ever tried! I have oily/combination skin and the shimmer doesn't make me look shiny. Great, natural color--i have fair skin with blue undertones and I never look orange with this product. I'm 20 and I have bought this bronzer for 3 years now, only one I trust. Highly recommended — 1 year, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Nice Color
This is really nice for overall color, i have really fair skin and look like I tanned naturally with this on. Biggest complaint: if you have combo skin it can give you a shine four hours into wear. keep in mind that i'm trying this in winter, not a big sweat season... so i dont imagine this will hold up in summer season. like the previous review said it will last a long long time. keep blotting sheets with you!!! — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Bronzey!
This bronzer has to be one of my favorites...it last soooo long..ive had it for about 1 1/2 years now...the only downside is that if you want to look really bronzey (my inspiration JLO) you kinda have to pile this on and it has shimmers so its not really good for conturing (for conturing i suggest NYC bronzer its really matte)...but overall good for everyday! — 2 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Natural Glow :)
I can understand why ppl have been complaining about the shimmer but it does not bother me at all. to be honest I don't even notice, it is so subtle and tiny, that it gives your skin a glow without looking like you have sparkles on your face. I love love love the packaging, I have had ppl ask me what I'm using when I touch up in public because the packaging looks so chic :) and I'm happy it comes with a mirror. Beware of the brush tho, it can make the powder look splotchy on your face. so instead use your own professional bronzer or powder brush. I also love how the colour is buildable and not too dark. I have very light golden-undertoned skin and the shade light-medium works for me. for the summer I will be trying medium-dark to add contour on my cheekbones, but for now this will do :) will repurchase again & again. — 3 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

GREAT! EXCEPT FOR THE glitter :(
This product would be amazing if it was matte, overall it is great-no streaking, or orangish glow. It is very natural-except for the glitter.... I don't think I would repurchase — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

A decent bronzer
I bought this as a back-up and it's a pretty decent bronzer. I have the light color, and it leaves a color that I can live with, not my absolute favorite but it works. The light color seems to be a little too yellow, but not horrible. The darker color may be better, I'd spend the money again to find out. — 3 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
