I have used the men's face bronzer since it was introduced, I guess almost 40 years ago. I must have bought hundreds of them over the years. After running out of my last one I thought I'll try the new sun-kissed face gelee. I am all for trying new things, but I really, really dislike the face gelee. It is nothing like the men's bronzer, it is hard to apply and most important, the result is not looking good. It has a yellow tint to it, and it totally looks unnatural. Reading through the reviews, I agree with most of them. Please bring back the original men's face bronzer !

What I expected vs what I got: When I bought this, gel bronzers were everywhere and largely interchangeable. I expected a smooth, gliding gel that might be fun for a while and then fade with the trend. Instead, this is one of the longest standing products in my makeup collection. It's stayed on the market and in my routine long after the trend passed. I didn't expect it to stick with me the way it has over the years. How it behaves: This isn't a slick, silicone-heavy gel or a creamy cheek tint. It's thick enough to hold its shape like a gel, but thin enough that my skin absorbs it almost immediately. It goes blotchy on my if used straight from the tube, like a stain. Mixed with a gel moisturizer (like Moisture Surge!), it becomes extremely workable, blends easily and then sets into my skin with staying power that outlasts powers and creams. How it fits in my life: I mix this into my morning moisturizer to warm up my entire face, or use the mix just on my cheeks and other high points of my face. It's flexible, low-effort, and fun to use, being able to apply it a number of ways. Once I learned how to work with it, it became my only bronzing product. Nothing else wears like it, and nothing else gives the same warmth that looks like a genuinely realistic sun-kissed glow. Does it earn its place in my collection: Yes. This is a product I keep rediscovering and reaching for over and over again. I've tried other bronzers since, and none have stood up to this one. If this formula ever game in other tones - pinks, mauves, etc. - I'd buy them immediately.

What I expected vs what I got: I expected this to be a light, smooth gel that would glide over my cheeks. Chances were I might like it but every brand had a gel bronzer at the time - it would have its moment and be done. Instead, this is one of the few that have remained on the market, and in my routine, long after the trend faded. I didn't expect it to stick with me the way it has, over YEARS. How it behaves: This isn't a slick, gliding gel, a creamy cheek balm, or a silicone-based smoothing bronzer. It's thick enough to hold it's shape like a gel, but thin enough for my skin to suck it up like a sponge upon contact. For that reason, applying this straight out of the tube can look blotchy - becomes a stain. However, mix a bit of this with a bit of gel moisturizer - like Moisture Surge! - and it becomes extremely versatile. It has the workability of a moisturizer, and a staying power that long outlasts any powers or creams. How it fits in my life: A mix with my morning moisturizer, I can use it to warm up my entire face. If I don't want it all over, I can use the mix just like I would any other bronzer. It's flexible and low effort. Once I learned how to work with it - it became my ONLY bronzing product. Nothing else stays like it - and nothing else gives that real warmth in the skin. Does it earn its place in my collection: Yes. It a product I keep rediscovering and reaching for over and over again. I've tried other bronzers, and nothing has stood up to this one. If this product came in other tones - pinks, mauves, etc. - I'd buy it immediately.
