L’Oreal Infallible 24HR Bronzer recently debuted a range of powder bronzers with eight shades (which seemed quite impressive, though I think it could have been more evenly distributed after swatching in person). Here are swatches of all eight shades!

I like that they launched with more than 1-2 shades but the lightest one looks like it would be too warm/orange for my very fair, cool toned skin, which is the case with the majority of bronzers. I’ll wait until you review them because if the formula is similar to the Infallible powder foundation, I’ll skip it regardless of whether it looks OK in person.
Cara, I am of porcelain complexion as well and absolutely no bronzer on this earth would suit me – they nearly all have yellow/orange undertones and I would end up looking like an oommpa loompa….this is one beauty product that I cannot use…
I do own bronzers but I never use them. I should toss them, really.
I’m not as fair as you and have neutral undertones, but I still feel uncomfortable using warm toned bronzers. I can get away with warmish blush though, but prefer more neutral to cool ones.
Hey Genevieve: To my eye, the Gucci Bronzing powder in the lightest shade (fair 01) does not look yellow or orange. It’s a beautiful formula, but super pricey.

Have you tried Maybelline City bronzer in shade 100 ? I have heard very fair people say it’s less orange and overly warm. I was planning on getting it for my best friend who is just getting into makeup and she is pale.
Genevieve, I only have 2 bronzers and one is just for work video meetings as I need something a darker than I’d typically consider to prevent me from looking more undead than usual. The “video meetings only” bronzer is Gucci 01, which is has a neutral undertone and, with a very light hand, brings some life to my face; it’s too dark to use otherwise. My all time favorite bronzer, and the only one that isn’t too dark, orange or yellow, is Guerlain’s Terracotta Light Healthy Glow in 00 Light Cool. It’s a light neutral brown color with pieces of cool toned pink blush scattered throughout, which gives a subtle natural post sunburn effect as opposed to an orange spray tan look, like most bronzers I’ve tried. I just don’t tan naturally, I burn and go back to “glow in the dark” (not that I go in the sun anyway) so bronzer as a whole will never look natural. That said, I don’t use it every time I wear makeup as I prefer to use blush to give life to my skin and lately have been loving Bare Mineral’s Kiss of Pink Blonzer to give that post sunburn look.
Yeah, I agree. Especially between Tan and Deep Tan. Those two look practically identical! And a little bit too orange for me. 🙄
I’ve heard really good things about these and seen great demos online. Someone said the formula reminded them of the Marc Jacobs bronzers.
The swatches look very warm toned, I bet they would work as a blusher/bronzer draped right on the cheeks and onto the temples and eyelid crease. Even though I have tan skin the light medium shade reminds me of my favorite (discontinued 😓) Becca shade Bronzed Bondi.
It looks very light to tan considerate and very pale and deep inconsiderate. Those are the skin tones that actually need someone to come out with great affordable options. To be positive, it’s a lot of shades for drug store though!
Every now and again L’Oreal launches with something good – and for those who like bronzers, I hope this is it. I do think it’s great that they have provided a good range of shades too.
The distribution of colour is definitely not the greatest like you mentioned on the IG post!
Good on them for including a decent sized shade range, but not sufficient variation in u/t. Good price point, but better pickings in terms of sophistication of shade in other choices.
I have seen a few deeper skin reviews and they have been positive, but I have too many bronzers now. I really need to stop.
I wanted to love these, as I’m looking for a new holy grail bronzer for the fairest of skin tones BUT….. they are all SO ORANGE!!! 🍊😭😒
I’m really happy to see a mass drugstore release swatched on the blog – it will be super helpful in the future as a point of comparison for swatches/dupes 🙂 Thanks as always!
