Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer - 1 Fair

Pros: This bronzer has a lovely soft, smooth texture that glides onto the skin effortlessly when applied with a dense synthetic brush. I like that the formula feels lightweight and has a matte finish once it sets. I found it easy to apply with the Zoeva 142 concealer buffer brush as it’s synthetic, small, dense and domed which allows for more precise application. I also used the Zoeva Face Shape brush, which is a similar shape, but larger, which helped to blend the product without disturbing the foundation underneath. The gold and black packaging is aesthetically pleasing, sturdy, secure, and generous in size, with a large mirror, so it’s travel friendly and should last a good while. Cons: The undertone of 3 -Tan is darker and more neutral than the CT powder bronzer ... MorePros: This bronzer has a lovely soft, smooth texture that glides onto the skin effortlessly when applied with a dense synthetic brush.

Cons: The undertone of 3 -Tan is darker and more neutral than the CT powder bronzer in the same shade. As a result, this bronzer has more of a soft contouring effect on my medium deep skin tone, as opposed to a true warm bronzing effect. However, the overall finish once applied over foundation and blended, is still flattering. This product could be improved by adding 2-3 more shades with warmer undertones for deeper complexions.

This is hands down my favorite bronzer as a fair to medium cool leaning olive. It’s not going to work for everyone, but it’s a good option if you’re someone fair who leans green. Also, some reviews say this is patchy and wears off. I apply with a dense tapered brush lightly stippling and taking my time to blend. I also set my face with Charlotte Tilbury setting spray and this makes my makeup mosh pit proof. So I personally haven’t had any issues with fading or patchiness.However, I think this bronzer is likely better suited for foundations instead of skin tints. There also may be some user error if not using the right tools or doing enough skin prep. Overall, it’s worth a shot (especially shade 1 for fair to light medium olives). I also can use shade 2 and it runs ... MoreThis is hands down my favorite bronzer as a fair to medium cool leaning olive.

I also can use shade 2 and it runs warmer. Shade 1 feels more suited to green undertones. Now that it’s summer though I’m mixing just a bit of shade 2 into 1, but year round shade 1 is all I need. Aside from everything else I’ve said, for Charlotte Tilbury you get a lot of product in a nice compact. Personally I will be rebuying a back up just in case this gets discontinued because not a lot of bronzers work this well for me.

This is a bronzer like no other! As a pale princess this bronzer snatches my face and makes me an absolute bronzed goddess. The texted of this product is amazingly creamy and it melts onto your skin and stays in place once settled in your skin. I have bought this product with my own money and I have been using it since I found out about it last year. The price is absolutely perfect, it may seem like a lot of money but a little goes a long way, if you see this product in real life it is humongous and will last you a lifetime. I would most definitely recommend this bronzer for whoever is looking for a natural or full glam look, it can do both. This product is so long lasting I fell in love with it the first time I ever used it.

Beyond Disappointed with Charlotte Tilbury's Beaut

My recent experience with Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer has been nothing short of a complete letdown, and I feel compelled to share my frustration with others considering this product.I was genuinely excited to try out the Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer, as I had heard positive reviews about Charlotte Tilbury's products in the past. Unfortunately, this bronzer failed to live up to even the lowest of expectations.First and foremost, the product itself was a disappointment.

Unfortunately, this bronzer failed to live up to even the lowest of expectations.First and foremost, the product itself was a disappointment. The texture was far from creamy; instead, it felt dry and difficult to blend. Applying it to my skin was a struggle, and instead of achieving a sun-kissed glow, I ended up with uneven patches that looked unnatural and far from flattering.Furthermore, the shade range of this product is severely lacking. As someone with a medium skin tone, I was hopeful that the bronzer would provide a natural sun-kissed effect. However, the shade turned out to be oddly ashy and did nothing to enhance my complexion. It's perplexing how a brand that claims to cater to a wide range of skin tones could miss the mark so drastically.To make matters worse, the bronzer wore off within mere hours. After investing time into applying and blending the product, it was disheartening to see it disappear so quickly. The lack of longevity further solidified my disappointment in the quality of the Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer.Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this experience was the lack of customer support from Charlotte Tilbury. After reaching out to express my dissatisfaction with the product, I received no response whatsoever. It's astonishing that a brand that prides itself on luxury and quality would disregard customer concerns.My experience with Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Cream Bronzer has left me questioning the brand's commitment to delivering products that live up to their reputation. I strongly advise anyone considerin

Ehhh..

Ehhh... I have a mixed feelings. I have heard nothing but great things about this so i decided I'd give it a shot. I was hoping it would be similar to her contour wand as thats a decent product but the amount you get for the price is ridiculous so when I saw how much bigger this was I thought maybe it'll be just as good, well not so much. I'm a fair girl so based off that and the reviews I went for the fair shade and online it looked more cool toned which is perfect on me. However when I applied this it was a muddy orange color. I will say it's definitely creamy but for some reason it still came out super blotchy. Which could be caused by the primer I had on, but still the color was way off! It's too orange for me even if I used it as a bronzer. So if anything I ... MoreEhhh... I have a mixed feelings. I have heard nothing but great things about this so i decided I'd give it a shot.

Holy Grail Bronzer!

I bought this CT Bronzer as soon as it was released and it blew me away as soon as I put it on my face!I purchased the shade Medium and it's the perfect bronzed, beach glow without being orange. For reference, I have a light to medium skintone with warmer undertones.I apply it everyday before I set my face with powder and before and blush, highlighter etc.For a more subtle bronze, I use my damp sponge and if I want a more intense bronze or contour I'll use a dense brush.The product is very pigmented, creamy and super easy to blend out. It never looks heavy or streaky! And it almost dries/sets to a more powder finish.I honestly don't know how I did my makeup before this product came along and it's become one of my holy grail makeup products!!!

Let’s Compare!

For those that need it, I am adding comparison pics of the CT medium bronzer cream, the medium bronzer powder, and the light/medium contour wand, as well as swatches of all three blended onto my arm in natural lighting. (Contour wand is top, bronzer powder middle, bronzer cream bottom) For reference I am a Mac NW25.I think the cream bronzer is great for exactly what it is. It’s a cream bronzer that blends into a soft matte finish, that does not emphasize texture or make the skin dewy or oily. It’s a combo/oily person’s perfect cream bronzer. Lol. The one thing I will say though is the consistency did surprise me because I thought it was going to be similar to the NARS cream bronzers, but those are much more mailable and creamy, and the CT cream bronzer is thinner ... MoreFor those that need it, I am adding comparison pics of the CT medium bronzer cream, the medium bronzer powder, and the light/medium contour wand, as well as swatches of all three blended onto my arm in natural lighting.

Also you will be less likely to disturb products placed under it the less blending you do.If you would like a more in depth review of this product and comparisons, you’re welcome to check out my channel on YouTube The Not So Evil Stepmother where I will be comparing and testing this to it’s counterparts as well as other recent bronzer releases.

Snatches me

I can see why this product is polarizing, and I agree with reviews that said it's not going to be for everyone. I absolutely love it, though.For context, my skin is combination/normal, light to light medium, neutral leaning cool, and olive. Shade fair looks gray in the pan, but it does look like a bronzer on me, albeit not an orange one as most do. I find it easy enough to blend, and because it leaves more of a powder finish, it stays on.I feel like Charlotte's prices are a rip off, but you get so much product here with a shelf life of 24 months and really quality packaging. It's not hyaluronic happikiss vibes with cheap packaging. I didn't mind paying for this beautiful, unique bronzer, especially during the VIB sale.If you have trouble finding a bronzer because ... MoreI can see why this product is polarizing, and I agree with reviews that said it's not going to be for everyone.

Worth the splurge

Absolutely love this formula and shade for contouring and slight bronzing. I’ll preface by saying i am naturally a fan of cream products. This formula is unique by being more of a cream to satiny powder finish. The lightest shade is perfect for me because it lands more on the cool side, whereas the others are slightly more warm toned. If you’re a fan of cream products, i definitely recommend giving this a try. It plays nice with all other face products I’ve used under or over it. For me, this has become my holy grail cream contour/bronzer. Little goes a long way, yet it’s also buildable. 10/10

favorite cream bronzer

such a lovely bronzer with a smooth and creamy consistency. if you haven’t hopped on the cream bronzer train already pls give it a try. there’s no precision with powder bronzers and they tend to make my makeup look muddy and not very seamless but creams are super blendablethe shade is really flattering as a lot of bronzers can look really orange and kinda rusty on me even though i have a medium- tan skin tone with warm undertones. this bronzer gives a really nice and natural tan sun kissed look. the packaging also has a huge mirror on in it which makes it really nice for travel. the only thing about it is i can’t justify price. it’s a nice splurge tho.
