Beautiful finish! I use the bronze AC finishing powder for summer/fall and the translucent for winter/spring. I think this is what Bare Escentuals MEANT to create with Warmth! You only need the tiniest amount you can imagine. I think ladies who are finding it builds during the day are using much too much. A very tiny amount applied with a super fluffy long-bristled brush mattifies and warms my skin perfectly and lasts half a day. I always use blotting papers when I touch up during the day or in the evening. I don't get a bronzy look from this powder, but I don't want one. It's perfect when my sickly white skin needs a warm boost. It makes me look healthy! Would you buy this product again? Yes

I love this powder! It is perfect for adding the finishing touch to your makeup in the summer months. It give your skin a healthy glow, with a bit of color to keep you from looking pale! Would you buy this product again? Yes

I loved this until I started breaking out all over my cheeks... then I checked the ingredients and saw that it contains bismuth oxychloride. YUCK! I can't believe I didn't notice that before I bought it! If you are not sensitive to bismuth oxychloride, then you will probably love this product. But I am SUPER disappointed in Tarte for using this ingredient, since it is well known to be irritating and acnegenic. :( Would you buy this product again? Yes

Amanda from TX on 01/20/2012
I use this in the summer when my skin is a bit more sun kissed. I love that it's matte. The dispensing system is so easy and I get the perfect amount of product every time. It's not muddy and it blends well. It's perfect for contouring or to set makeup. It doesn't dry out my skin. Would you buy this product again? Yes
Unnati from NJ on 12/09/2011
Being a medium-skinned person, I thought that I would like the bronzer shade better than the original white, which left my face a little too white for my taste. But the bronzer irritates my skin for some reason. I will be returning this product. The color is tasteful and not overpowering, but I will be sticking to the white. Would you buy this product again? Yes

Bought this 4 months ago and its only half way empty!! :o I love it, because its quality minerals it doesn't get all gross and miscolored if you sweat. I was a Bareminerals fan and I was using this with their foundation, but I have dry skin and their foundation made my skin so dry it almost hurt :'c On top of of that I went to the bathroom during work looked in the mirror and it was different colors everywhere and gunked up around my nose and at my chin and under my eye making me look way exhausted :c So the next day I just wore the bronzer from Tarte without the foundation from Bareminerals (which made me crazier nervous because I never go without foundation) but it looked SO good. I wore it with their Amazon Clay Primer that has the reflecive light to it and its kind of a creamy tone. Really looked spot on, didn't look like 20 different colors. And if your only paying 30 bucks for something that only runs out every 5 months thats a killer awesome price. I'm obessed with this stuff. It's definitly going to be that one you hang onto ten years later. Once you get something that works its like ugh finally. lol. I hope they never discontinue!! :c Oh and I love the spill proof, it also helps me keep from over apply the bronzer and looking like I deep baked for a day lol. Great stuff. Love love love love love. Really recommend if you get this to use it with the primer though, the 2 work togther PERFECTLY makes a huge difference. Would you buy this product again? Yes

I have this in white and bronze, and I prefer this bronze version - even though I have fair skin! It doesn't look too dark on, just gives a natural, slightly tan glow. Love it!!! Would you buy this product again? Yes
I really like this tinted version. Great, natural-looking bronzer! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Alice from MI on 10/12/2011

Gave this another go. This time I used a different brush. A lightweight, very fluffy brush, with long bristles. It applied it far more sheer. I actually liked it a lot then. I do think that if you are Agent 00, this is not the best for regular touch ups on oily skin as it will build. Once or twice a day and it is good. Loved this over the summer. My mother loved it so much I had to buy it again and give it a real go. Used it all summer. Still not big on the amount of dispenser holes on these. Would you buy this product again? Yes

I Love this bronzer! I got it today and it gives such a glow to ur face! Will rebuy this agian!!!!!!!!!!! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Kourtney from OH on 08/27/2011
This was a 5 star product until I found out it had bismuth oxychloride in it !!!! I along with many others are allergic to bismuth and it makes skin itch. I'm so surprised an ingredient like this is in a tarte product. It's not in the original powder(white) which I love, so why is it in this???? I loved everything about it until my skin had a reaction to it. Please Maureen, TAKE THE BISMUTH OUT !!!! ....and this would be a forever 5 star product thanks!!!! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Cheryl from MA on 08/11/2011
I use this as a bronzer and as an all-over powder to set my makeup. I love it! It looks very natural on my fair skin. Would you buy this product again? Yes

EMELINDA from NY on 08/02/2011
My holy grail bronzer! This is the first bronzer that does not turn my skin orange! I get alot of compliments when I wear this! It looks natural, lasts all day, holds up well during the heat and the formula of this product is AMAZING! I immediatly ran out and got a back up because I am afraid of running out! LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Jena from VA on 06/26/2011
I love this bronzer. It gives you a nice and natural looking golden glow! It looks beautiful on all skin types!!! Would you buy this product again? Yes
diane from NY on 06/16/2011
I love this. The amazonian clay has done wonders for my big pores and combination skin. My skin looks airbrushed when I wear this or the original formula. This is probably my favorite bronzing powder- it actually makes my super fair skin look bronzed, not dirty or orange. Well done, tarte! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Lauren from KY on 06/07/2011
This is such a wonderful product! I have excessively oily skin and it is hard to find a product that doesn't just build up over the day, however, smooth operator works wonders. Most powders just matte my face giving it a "made up" look but this allows a healthy glow to show though.
I am also a redhead that tans only minimally and the bronzer isn't too much and leaves a great glow that isn't overwhelming.
I love this product! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Love the color it gives but it does not mattify as well as the original. Still a great product though! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Tiffany from OH on 05/22/2011
I've been using this powder for a few days and I already love it... I use it in conjunction with the agent 16 smooth operator tinted moisturizer and its perfect. Wonderful for darker skin tones. I'm really becoming a Tarte-a-holic! Would you buy this product again? Yes
Celina from WA on 05/12/2011
This works just as well as the original, but with the bonus of a beautiful, natural glow. I use it all over my face because it's not too dark, not shimmery and it does a fantastic job of minimizing the pores on my nose (I have combination skin.) I am truly addicted! Just for reference, I'm Asian, with medium skin w/yellow undertones. I currently use Agent 14. I find that the Park Avenue Princess bronzer is perfect for my skin, w/o looking too dark or unnatural. Would you buy this product again? Yes
Teasha from PA on 05/12/2011
This is not for the ultra fair as an allover, if you have very oily skin and need to reapply throughout the day. It builds on the skin, and is noticeable in the light of day. I do like it as a bronzer in select areas on fair skin, it is so sheer that it just contours in a very very subtle way that I like. I hate to return products because of a color issue, they just get thrown away, and I probably know someone who could use it. I had my mom try this, she is medium to tan in the summer and she loves it as an allover. She hated powders, until this one. My friend with a tan to deep complexion, who has the original but uses it sparingly, loves this one because it does not change the color of her skin. I am not sure if this reduces pore size yet, I use the original, but time will tell and I will submit another review. I do love the idea of a powder shrinking pores. I think if you are fair or light with normal skin go for it, if you are oily do the original as an all over. If you are fair or light and hate all bronzers, but wish you liked one, try this as a bronzer. If you are medium or darker, get this instead of the original. I think you will prefer this one. Would you buy this product again? Yes
Lindsay from CA on 05/12/2011
I LOVE THIS! It took a bit of getting used to as it's so highly pigmented, but it blends beautifully and is super super natural once you figure out the right amount for you.
Even thought it's matte, it leaves the skin looking really soft and not chalky or dry at all like some other bronzing powders without shine.
ALSO...great color...some bronzers leave you dirty looking or are a bit muddy but not this one.
I absolutely recommend it! Would you buy this product again? Yes
