16 Best Bronzers
Editor's Rating & Review
Many makeup artists recommend applying blush on cheeks after using bronzer to make a faux tan look more natural. That's exactly why Nars Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo is a keeper, with bronzer/highlighter on one side and blush on the other. (No brush though; you'll need your own). The powder formulas are shimmery enough to make skin glow, but not so much that they enhance flaws. And they offer medium coverage that won't budge all day. Of the five shade options, my favorite combo is the universally flattering Orgasm/Laguna.

Makeup Bag Staple
I had been wanting to try the infamous Laguna bronzer from NARS and their blush in Deep Throat, so when Sephora released this duo with these colors, I had to snatch it up! Both are everything I had hoped for. Laguna is a very flattering bronzer and contour color, even on my fair skin. Deep Throat is more peach than than I expected, but very pretty. It adds a nice pop of color to the cheeks, bu...read moret is still fairly subtle. Both apply and blend really easily, making the colors look seamless on my face. The compact has a great mirror which makes this perfect for my makeup bag, not to mention that having a versatile blush and bronzer in one compact is wonderful. This duo runs $41 which ain't cheap, but considering that as single NARS blush is almost $30 and the Laguna bronzer is even more, it was nice to be able to try both for a bit cheaper. The amount of product you get is generous as well so I am a happy camper. I like each color enough to purchase them solo when the time comes. For now I will carry my duo in my purse for easy on the go application.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 16 of 21 people said helpful

Not horrible, but not amazing
This may be a little over priced for what it is. It's just a dark bronzer with little specks of glitter and a blush that is way too glittery. However, I like how it's a blush and bronzer duo, it's convenient. Laguna is a deep brown with specks of gold glitter. The glitter doesn't show up on the skin as much as the blush. The blush looks good in dim light, but when you're out in the sun or under br...read moreight light, the glitter is very noticeable. To be honest, I wouldn't repurchase. It's too expensive for not being my favorite blush nor bronzer. It's overall an OKAY product for me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 14 people said helpful

0rgasm is my favorite blush [which was CORALista before I used it] & Laguna quickly became my favorite bronzer. I had been using a cheap Jane. or ELF bronzer my whole life so I never knew how great a real bronzer can look. Laguna does not look orange, too shimmery, or unnatural on my light skin. It is the perfect mocha color for contouring my cheeks. I really want to try Albatross because I hear t...read morehat it is such a fabulous highlighter as well. I sampled it in Sephora and was pleased but I would prefer to see the color outside first. I love the NARS rubbery packaging but this is so0o expensive!
