Once upon a time, a fair-skinned brunette examined her Elf bronzer and proclaimed "This is too orange!" She set out in pursuit of Essence's Sun Club matt bronzing powder (for blondes) and concluded that it was good: neither shimmery nor orange-like. She wrote a review on Ulta, giving the product four kisses because she was no connoisseur of bronzers and felt every product had room for improvement. Nevertheless, she had found a new love in her bronzer and took greater pleasure in her contouring ritual, knowing the effect was more natural and flattering on her visage. The price, the presentation, and party-themed design on the compact made the girl's mornings, from that day forth, ever so grand.
After reading the reviews I thought I'd give it a try for contouring. I'm pale with reddish brown hair and freckles so it's hard to find a good contour color that doesn't end up muddy or orange. Unfortunately this one did turn out orange. The light color is very warm. I won't ever use this product but since it was only a few bucks I'm not going to bother returning it but be warned, this is not a contouring bronzer. I think the shade would be good for adding warmth but for contouring you want to use a color that will give the impression of a shadow, not a warm glow, so this is NOT a good contouring bronzer like I was expecting it to be; just keep that in mind before purchasing

I love essence products and I'm so glad I tried this bronzer! I use it everyday since purchasing.
Bridgett from fl
This is perfect for my fair skin! I would say it's more suited for real life than photos. It doesn't make me look muddy and adds just enough color.

It's the perfect cover for your whole face & neck. Not heavy goes over your foundation and helps to cover any imperfections

This has become my absolute favorite bronzer! It's the perfect shade for my very fair skin, smells amazing and goes a long way AND will last forever! 10/10

At first looked okay, but looked in the mirror later and it had turned orange.

I would not recommend this product. It does not deposit any pigment on the skin.

I bought the "darker" color, but there is no way this would show up on tan/dark skin. I'm pretty fair and the darker color is a nice wash of color. I recommend if you're fairer skinned.

i recommend this bronzer with 👏 a 👏 passion 👏 oh btw- if you going for a more natural but still sun kissed look, i recommend the matte bronzer. but if your going for a golden and more glow, the luminous. back to the review: it's bigger than the picture shows. the bronzer itself smells like coconut, a tropical vacation and a hint of new car! i really like it lol it looks so natural, it's very buildable and you can't go over board with it unless you're trying to. 5/5 love it and don't hesitate to buy!
Vonmac from Washington DcC
This is a great bronzer if you have fair skin. I would say it's more of a neutral color which is especially nice for all skin tones. This can be built up. It's also long wearing. If you are new to bronzers this is especially helpful since it's not intense. It gives a lovely glow.

Literally on here looking for a replacement for this product today so I thought i'd write a review. Normally Essence knocks it out of the park with their products, but like other reviews mention - there's no pigment. You really have to scrub your brush on here to get anything to come up. And when I could finally get some color to develop, I feel like it pulls orange on my skin. Got the darker/brunette shade. Upside - they really give you a lot and there's a nice mild scent.

no pigment. the little pigment I did get was just orange
Skin Queen from Northern California
This is actually my very first review. I just received it in the mail today and used it on my clean and moisturized face, I love the results. I have fair skin and it really added a light tan glow. I understand that other reviewers said it took awhile to build pigmentation, However, that's exactly why I bought it, to control the amount. The color was on point. And not to mention, the heat we have been having, it's been a blessing not to perspire on my face because it blocks it for some reason. I have it 5 stars because of price, smell , locks in moisture and a beautiful tan glow.

I'll admit I'm scared of bronzer . I am tan and never thought I needed it until I decided I definitely needed a little double chin contouring. Sadly, this product has MINIMAL pigment . Not impressed but I'll use for my no make up make up look on a daily.
Becky from Montana
I first tried the lighter shade, which was recommended for my skin tone. It hardly showed up at all. I then tried the darker shade, which wasn't much better.
E from Riverside
I got shade light but you can't tell a huge difference when I use it due to the fact that I am just a shade or two lighter than it, but it's really nice. I use it when I want a very natural look with a little glam ! (The scent to it is also really nice)
Stephanie999 from Hogkins
I got the shade brunette/deeper skin and it had no pigment. Like none it has a nice scent but no pigment. Even going roughly and still no color.I have a light to medium complexion it didn't even appear as an eyeshadow.
Ms. Sunshine 724 from Niskayuna, NY
I really like the coverage of this product on my face. I don't use it as a bronzer - I use it as my foundation. I have medium olive skin tone, and I'm using the 01 for lighter skin. Yes, I know - sounds like it would be too light, but for me, it's not!! Truth be told, my face actually looks like I have no makeup on at all. My face never looks cakey, just a smooth and even skin tone. And surprisingly, it stays on all day and looks very natural. I have an oily T-zone and it doesn't turn orange or change color like other face powders will do when oil surfaces on the skin. I also like that even though it's a bronzer, it has very little shimmer. And the price is right!
Kristy from Machesney park
I got the deepest color because I love contouring my face. When I tell you there was barely any pigment, I'm not lying. I love the smell of it and was excited to use it because I've heard rave reviews about it. Wouldn't suggest buying this.
I use this product every day. Sometimes without foundation underneath. It covers up what I need & goes well with my skin tone.
