Nars Laguna bronzer

I love this bronzer! It's still my go to and it suitable for so many skin tones.

As my skin is quite fair I find a lot of bronzers seem a bit orange and don't suit me at all. But Laguna really does. I use it on my face as a contour colour or to give my whole face a summery glow. It blends really well and is buildable.

I also use this as a body bronzer at times, mostly on my neck and chest if I need to darken those areas. It gives you the look of a nice, natural tan.

It's not the cheapest bronzer on the market but the packaging is great and a little goes a long way. Certainly worth the price

I purchased this bronzer not so long ago after trying it on in store. I live quiet a distance away from mecca cosmetica, which is where i purchased it from, and on the drive home I couldn't stop looking at how gorgeous it looked......I was hooked.

I have a round face and this is perfect for adding shape and dimension. After I put it on my whole face shape changes. Im rather fair skinned and I thought when I first looked at it that it would be too dark for my skin but Its perfect for me, very blend-able and is very build-able. I have used this as a quick colour on my eye and it too looks amazing.

If you purchase this you will have no regrets! The only regret would be that you didn't purchase it sooner!

I will never use another bronzer again, perfect holy grail item to bronze and contour with....Im in love.

I recently gave in and purchased this bronzer online from Mecca (ouch expensive) but I can tell you that at $72 (not sure where it retails at $57) it was worth every cent!!

Absolutely no regrets! The bronzer be beautiful and silky it the tiniest hint of shimmer which prevents it from turning 'muddy' on your skin.

I wish I had given in earlier because I don't think I will ever use another bronzer again! Total Holy Grail Cult beauty product.

I absolutely adore the simple classic NARS packaging - although it can tend to get a bit filthy so I clean mine regularly (just call me Monica).

If you don't own this bronzer and would like too but are putting it off due to the price I say go for it. honestly you definitely wont regret it!

I waited until I was overseas before purchasing the Laguna bronzer because I thought I wold be disappointed and did not want to pay NZ price. I'm so glad I bought it! It completely lives up to the hype and I don't think I will be able to go back to my old favourite MAC bronzer. Its perfect for my slightly lighter skin tone as its not too dark and not orange at all. My pet hate is having orange bronzer.

It is a creamy brown colour, matte and velvety. Super easy powder to apply, I use it to contour my cheeks and it blends perfectly.

I'd recommend using a nice, fluffy brush as I found my firmer brushes would lift excess powder and leave it loose in the pan. Use a light brush and build up colour.

I'm quite pale, and I don't like to bronze up my skin much, but this bronzer is the PERFECT bronzer for contouring ever!

When I first saw it I thought it was going to be too dark on me but a little bit on my contour brush and wow it made my skin look so defined! I love how it's green-based so it counters out my redness in my face making it look more balanced. I also like how it's not completely matte as matte powders seem to make me look flat and lifeless.

I love how it's buildable too if you wanted to build up the contour from daytime to nighttime.

this product is my ultimate holy grail bronzer ever, i will never go back to using any other one, i have had my laguna for about 10 months and i have only just hit pan! lasts a very long time! the color is gorgeous i contour with it every day , you can do a more defined contour or a more natural one, it is very build-able and it doesn't look orange, cakey or muddy at all! its also very easy to blend out :) would recommend 100% worth the price

I was sad when my bronzer was deleted.... but my sorrow was short lived. In walked Nars and my life was never the same.

You need a bronzer. No really you do. Contouring is your friend, sun kissed without the damage, yummy tones and people asking you what you are doing to look so good. Seriously.

If you are a fan of the blusher Nars Orgasm this is it's bronzer sister. They pair up together beautifully. Or are perfect alone by themselves.

Nars has great casing. Simple, black and has a great mirror (great for those on the go).

The reason I like this bronzer is that it has a gradual build up. I am very pale (like a ghost) so I am always worried if a bronzer is too dark. But this has a gorgeous brown shimmer that applys wonderfully and blends with your natural colour. So if you want it to be darker you just add more.

It wears well - usually I apply before I go to work and then I might add a bit more if I am heading out after (I prefer my bronzer slightly darker for night wear)

I know this has a bigger price tag but it really is worth the $$ and it lasts a long time. I mean I get great wear out of mine and I use this everyday. I will even sometimes only use bronzer and mascara (if I do not want a make up day) just to give my face a little colour. I can not recommend this enough.

As a beauty lover I just had to purchase this cult favourite to see what all the fuss was about! The hype is true...this is a lovely product!

The packaging is the standard gorgeous and very classic Nars packaging which I love the look off, but, hate how everything possible seems to cling to it making it grubby looking most of the time. It is a sturdy, sleek and secure case with a decent mirror inside making it a great travel companion.

The bronzer itself is a matte perfect shade of brown, neither too orange or grey making it perfect for both contouring and an all over colour. It does have a fine gold shimmer through it, but, this is more visible in the pan than on the skin and translates on the face as more of a healthy glow which is why I describe it as matte (there are no visible glitters on the face, unless you got a magnifying glass out). The tone of this bronzer really is fantastic for my cool fair skin and I find it is perfectly pigmented. It is not so pigmented that I easily apply too much (I'm fair so this isn't hard), but, not lacking pigment to the degree that it needs a lot of building up. I find it wears well lasting throughout the day without wearing off or becoming patchy

The texture is smooth and silky and not at all powder which makes it look super natural on the skin and easy to evenly apply and blend into the skin. Nars is a high end brand so the price is a little steep, but, it is a fail proof gorgeous product that I will repurchase because I think it is worth it.

I will give all the tips to the packaging. I’ll admit, if it wasn’t for the sleek design of the compact, I would never consider paying $60 on a bronzer, when I could buy a perfectly good one for a third of that price.

It’s a very nice, sturdy, black matte compact, with the simple logo on it in white. It features an excellent quality mirror inside which is the perfect size for seeing your entire face inside. The only thing that I dislike a little bit about the compact, is that it is matte, which means every single bit of makeup will take its place on it, if you are not careful. i have to give it a wipe down once a week with a makeup remover to remove traces of make up from it.

Now to the actual product. You do get a lot of it, which I am happy about, in comparison to their highlighter, you get heaps! Mine is in the shade Laguna, which I was told was the perfect shade for everyone, and it has even won many prizes too.

I’m not a very pale person, I have an almost olive toned skin, and I found that laguna was a tad bit too dark for me. Not so dark that it was non usable, in fact, with some serious blending, it matched my skin perfectly! So depending on your skin tone, try it out too see if you need a little bit of product or more.

While it is a powder, I find that it has a lovely creamy consistency which melts on my skin. It is easily build-able and easily blended out! Also be warned you need very, very little product with this! I went a bit overboard the first time I tried it! But hey again that’s good news! A little goes a long way, and this will last you forever!

I like that it’s not glittery, or shimmery - which to me is what makes it a perfect bronzer! It’s neither too orange, or too brown! So if you’re worried about looking “fake” it won’t do that to you!

It does last on the skin a very long time, even with being someone like me who always touches their face all the time. It does transfer a tiny bit on your fingers if you are touching your face, but you’ll have to be touching it hard or very often.

The best bronzer on the market! Not orange, not muddy, just a beautiful, glowy brown bronze! Blends out impeccably. I was too poor to buy another one when I ran out so I ended up buying cheaper ones that didn't last half as long or give me the same results. I am still using up my last bronzer (which I wish I had invested in laguna again but stupid me I didn't) and when that's gone I am buying this again, I don't care how expensive it is!!
