I'm not an avid bronzer user - Probably because I don't really know how to use it to get the most out of the whole bronzed goddess look, so I was super happy to get this in my prize from BB, that way I could really experiment, esp with it being such an amazing brand!

I love the compact and the cute little kabuki that comes with it. The bronzer itself is a cake beneath a grater dial which you need to twist right, and a few shards are shaved off the top. Once you dip the kabuki in it, it becomes a super fine powder - The kabuki allows for perfect and precise application of this bronzer. It is a beautiful color with gold particles in it. It is the most amazing thing I have ever seen as it effectively reflects light, enhances my complexion, giving me a perfect golden skin, bronzed goddess look! Its soooo easy to use this product and the results are gorgeous!

I use it as a blush, and it gives my skin the perfect hint of radiant glow, I love it!!! It has good staying power, and does not split - even though I have oily skin.

Get a fresh-ground natural glow with Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder, filled with minerals, mica, sea water complex, aloe, and Vitamins A, C, and E. Includes a mini folding kabuki brush for a perfectly bronzed look.

Nothing is more seductive than bare, sun-kissed skin. Nothing feels more natural than pure micro-light minerals; this is exactly what I get when I use the Elizabeth Arden Bronzing Powder.

This is such a unique and beautifully packaged product. You have fresh ground bronzer every time. The powder is oil, talc and fragrance free that make it perfect for every skin type. Due to its unique design, there’s no mess, no waste and no fooling around; it’s a sophisticated product for the discerning make-up fundi.

The packaging is simply exquisite. A squared silver box with gold edging and the synonymous Red Door logo on the front. All writing is done in bold black. The powder is 7.7g and lasts for ages; one compact can easily last longer than 8 months. The compact itself is gold in colour and circular. It has a black ring round the middle with a little push button that releases the lid. The top has the Red Door logo and along the front rim is etched ELIZABETH ARDEN. Once open, there is a slight raise edged in black that has a cute little black fold-up angled brush. There is a white circular sticker above the grater. The inside of the lid has a mirror; this is as convenient as it makes touch-ups a breeze. The mirror is also large enough to use to use when applying all your other make-up too. The mini- folding brush when opened fits perfectly into the compact. It’s an ultra-soft, angled brush that is designed to achieve a flawless, even, professional make-up application. The bristles are made with synthetic hair for the ultimate purity; the brush delivers just the right amount of powder.

The bronzer is absolutely fine and not irritating. It goes on smoothly and creates the perfect end to any look. It can be used to create definition and highlight your best features. When I attended the Elizabeth Arden Cosmopolitan Workshop, I finally learnt how to use this wonder make-up essential. It has since been a necessity product that I cannot do without. Even though the overall look is sophisticated and very elegant, do not be daunted by this product. It is simple to use and highly effective in creating the perfect runway look.

I didn’t know how to explain correctly the process of how to use the compact and so below find the application process as found on Elizabeth Ardens Website:

[Twist Mineral Powder Foundation compact rim half way to the right (clockwise) so that there is a small amount of loose mineral powder in the grinder. Swirl loose powder with Elizabeth Arden Face Powder Brush until bristles are covered with powder. Tap to ensure powder settles into bristles, and to remove excess powder. Apply onto skin in circular motions. Start in the centre of your face, blending outward toward forehead and cheeks. Always start by applying a light layer. For more coverage repeat until you achieve your desired look.]

I have used other brands of bronzers and to an absolute fail! I’ve ended up looking too tan or orange or once even very hollow and “Jersey Shore”. I love how even though this is a bronzer, the colour is so matted and universal that even if too much is used it doesn’t show up as a noticeable mistake. If you’re looking for reliability, results you can trust and a beautiful glowing look; look no further than this amazing Bronzer from Elizabeth Arden at R280.
