We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

None of these hold a candle to Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer. It is the perfect fair girls bronzer and the formula is so smooth. I also like Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless Matte but it’s discontinued but I imagine their milk chocolate soleil is similar?

Not sure why, but I haven’t been able to add my all-time favorite bronzer for my skintone, UD Jawbone from the Jean-Michel Basquiat Gallery Cheek palette? I DO see other LE products elected, so I doubt that this would be a problem. I literally use this bronzer almost every single day due to how seamlessly it melds with my coloring without giving me any orange Cheeto effect!

Not selecting, though I think i’m up for balm desert. The only bronzer I have that suits me is snow bunny. Total ho for Nars blush, but no lovin’ for any of his bronzers. Most look sallow and muddy. I think it’s a skintone issue…the same one that makes most corals look so wrong.

WetnWild Ticket to Brazil I love it! Also Reserve my Cabana (although can be a bronzer or highliter very light) but beautiful! Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer.

I apologize if this is not the right place for posting this, but I would like to submit for the category Best Natural Highlighter, the lovely Nars Hot Sand powder blush, which is really and truly a highlighter.

My recommendations are all listed above: Victoria Beckman for Estee Lauder Saffron Sun.
Terra by Tom Ford and Tan-Tastic by Marc Jacobs. I think they are all great for medium complexions.
