This is a much better color (no sparkle) and looks great

Get this stuff! I used NARS laguna for years. Well, it finally ran out and I looked for a lower priced alternative. This is a much better color (no sparkle) and looks great! Use it just under your cheekbones and even on eyelid crease for "no makeup" days and you'll be good to go. I love it!

Great, highly pigmented MATTE bronzer for a very affordable price.

This is a great matte bronzer (shimmer - other than micro-shimmer - is out! Don't do it ladies! Stop right there! haha). NYX really produces high quality products with a lower price tag than the higher end designer brands (never buy Chanel makeup, go for Tom Ford/Bobby Brown/Nars/etc. if you're going to pay the high price tag - but that's another story). This is HIGHLY PIGMENTED, so go easy with applying! A little goes a long way, which is great because it will last you a long time. Now, let me say that matte bronzers are not really for "all over" color (that's really out of vogue anyway, so you'll just look cheap bc everybody can spot a all-over bronzed face a mile a way), but more for framing your face and blending the color down onto your neck so you have a flawless fade from your foundation color, to your bronzer color, to the color of your neck (crucial if you want to look like you know what you're doing with makeup). I suggest trying this, as medium can be applied lightly for very light skin and more liberally for medium tones. I will say that it can appear a bit orange (not overly orange), but also has a nice "red" undertone that gives for a more natural look. Tans always have a red undertone because there is burn associated with it. I recommend, so try it out.
