@ Mary , What was I thinking ?? or more correctly, NOT thinking ? You brought up the most important thing in a bronzer : no sparkles!! And you’re right, most of them are glittery. It doesn’t matter how old or young you happen to be, it looks silly.

@M – thanks so much for stopping by. Glad you found some good things. I hope you enjoy the bronzers. As I said in the article, the only woman who would have to take care with too much gold pigment is a very light cool type. And one of the many great things about Paula is that you can request samples.

@Mary , as you can see, there are many women like us who don’t want to sparkle. It should be a diffusion of colors into one another. I seem to prefer more sheer color as I get older, so these bronzers are perfect in that respect. I also refuse to spend $45 or whatever the high end ones go for. Good to hear from you.

Found your site via a mention in Paula’s weekly newsletter. Like what I’ve read so far, and will check out your older posts.

Thanks for the tips and demo of bronzer use. I’ve looked at many, tried a couple, but never had much luck. Colors not right, too much shimmer (why do folks think shimmer looks good in broad daylight? Dunno…) The rare matte looked muddy.

Need to order some skincare anyway, so will give this powder a try.

I just found your blog (via Paula Begoun, you famous woman!) and I love it. It’s a gentle glove-slap on the face of The Man, who tells us that we shouldn’t grow older–that aging is bad. Look at you! You’re fabulous! And now I want to try a bronzer. Thanks for this wonderful, though-provoking blog. I’ll visit often!

Just found your site via a referral in Paula’s weekly newsletter. Thanks for the demo of bronzer and how you use it.
Like you, I have looked at various bronzers over the years, and found them too—well, you know..lol. You left out irridescent—why do manufacturers feel compelled to make everything shimmery?

I need to order some other items from Paula’s, so will give this a try. And btw, love your haircut—-looks easy. I may “steal” it!

You have a nice site here—enjoying checking it out.
