Nars Laguna bronzer

I love this product, use it every single day I wear makeup (most days!). It applies and blends out well and I find it suits my skin tone really well. It has a slight shimmer that runs through it but it is not noticeable. I personally prefer to contour with a different product (NYX blush in Taupe) but love it is a bronzer.

I absolutely love this bronzer, it has a beautiful natural colour and goes on so nicely. I use it everyday and it seems to last forever! It stays on the skin all day and you can easily layer it for a more dramatic evening look. I won’t buy any other bronzer after trying this.

I finally gave in and purchased this bronzer, and I have to say it is the best I have used!! It is so incredibly pigmented and just the perfect tone for contouring, no orange and not muddy. It has a teeny tiny hint of shimmer but once on the face, you can hardly tell. Easily buildable, and blends perfectly. Cute packaging, with a slight velvet feel to the case ( which is prone to getting grubby eeek). It does come with a higher price tag, but I think it really is well worth it, and if you are quite light handed in the bronzing department it has the possibility to last quite some time before hitting pan. Overall, this is one of my best purchases ive made. love it.

The Nars Laguna Bronzer is a holy grail in the online beauty community, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to purchase. What really sold me was the constant promises of it suiting fair complexions without looking orange. On a work trip to Wellington I popped into Mecca and was helped by a lovely sales assistant. It is a high end brand, with a price tag to match, although it could be purchased cheaper online (e.g: Nordstrom.com). The packaging is, well, Nars. Black with NARS written in white. It is sturdy and sleek which makes it great for travel and it clicks open and closed easily, but not too easily. It also contains a mirror the size of the packaging. The packaging is great, although it does get grubby easily and if I purchased further Nars bronzers they would look the same.

The bronzer is matte with tiny gold flecks that aren't noticeable on the skin. It is pigmented, reasonably easy to blend and refuses to go orange, even when I am not fake tanned. It isn't powdery in the slightest which is great as this ensures even coverage on the brush and no wastage or mess. I use this as both a contour and an all over bronzer.

I used the Nars Laguna Bronzer the first night that I purchased it and the difference between the Nars Laguna Bronzer, and my previous Clarins bronzer, was astounding. It made a significant difference to my overall look, was clean and fresh looking and gave me some killer cheekbones. It has been 3 months since my purchase, and I haven't even glanced at any other bronzers. I will continue to use Nars Laguna for a long, long time.

I've tried a number of bronzers in my time and this is one I always come back to.

It comes in a sleek black compact, with a decent sized mirror so is perfect for travel.

The powder itself is a medium brown tone, leaning on the warm side. Despite the warm coloring, it never looks orange or muddy on my fair skin, instead it always manages to make me look sunkissed and bronzed. There are some faint sparkles in the pan, but personally I don't see these transferring to the face; at best it might give a slightly more luminous finish than an average matte bronzer (which is especially great for a glowy summer look).

I like to apply this with a large fluffy brush, across my forehead, cheekbones, nose and neck, for an all over glow, and to bring some colour and life back to my fair skin after foundation. It doesn't look heavy or powdery, and blends really nicely over my base. I also like that its a buildable colour, so I can continue to apply more until I reach the desired level of bronzedness without it ever being too much.

Love love love! I don't know what i would do without my Laguna! Im am about on my 5th one of these and soon to be on my 6th. It is such an amazing shade that looks good on every skin type pale to dark. It doesn't leave your skin looking oranges and is easily build able. I use this as an all over face bronzer as well as a contour most days of the week. I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed!

I love Laguna! It's a beautiful shade that I think would suit most skin tones, it has a almost undetectable shimmer to it so can be used as a light contour. The packaging is awesome and is a good size, so will last a long time (Nars being expensive you want to get plenty of product!) I buy my Nars from kissandmakeupny.com which is based in the US but offers shipping for us$10 which I think is great!

I tried this on at the counter in Kirkaldie & Stains in Wellington. The sales assistant was really, really nice.

I had previously bought a bronzer that had a shimmer in it, and I hated it so was on the hunt for a new matte one.

The shade of this bronzer is so perfect, it'll literally suit all skin tones/colours/shades. It's also buildable so if you want a contour you can use it to contour. If you want to bronze up your face, it's perfect for bronzing up your face.

I won't be without this now. It's going in my holy grail bag!!

I've been on a forever quest to find that one bronzer that wouldn't make my porcelain near see through skin look as if I have just sat in a mud puddle and splattered it onto my face! Which is why I avoid contouring my face and really dislike. In my love of NARS I thought I would give Laguna a go and well...hello!

Packaging is in keep with all NARS blushes, a simple, flat, black, matte effect compact with NARS wrote in white letters on the lid. Flip it open and inside you are greeted with a large mirror that fits the whole lid space and the slab of milk chocolate coloured bronzer that is Laguna.

It has a softness about it that is rare in powdered products, it has no chalk feeling or harshness. The colour is a warm tone brown that makes even my fair skin look perfectly sun kissed without going over to the mud plastering affair. I personally use a rounded top kabuki to apply Laguna, as I find that is the perfect brush to just blend the bronzer out beautifully without leaving massive splodges of it on your face.

I have had a quick go at contouring with it, but alas I just can't get the effect right on my round fat face, but used as a face framer, blush topper it is gorgeous. A swirl and swish from the back of the blush line up over the forehead and in the shadows of the neck and nose gives a nice summery definition that makes my skin glow.

This is my ultimate holy grail bronzer - it far surpasses any other bronzers i've had before. I wouldn't buy any others now.

I went into Mecca Cosmetica and was recommended it from the salesperson who said it was one of their most popular bronzers.

I have fair to medium coloured skin, and other bronzers tend to look rather orangey on me- not this one!

The colour is so natural and perfect for giving me a slight glow. Ths glow is just so subtle, it just makes you look slightly sun kissed!

Expensive, but worth it. Nars products have the best bronzers and blushes!
