  16. Holy Grail Contour

    Giselle

    My all time favourite contour powder - Not too cool or too warm, its perfect for creating a natural sculpted look. I always get alot of use out of this multi-purpose product, I love using it as an eyeshadow and as well as a bronzer. A little goes a long way, I'd recommend to use with a big fluffy brush

    I've been using this bronzer for about 5 years and I still love it. Such a good product and not too orange.
  20. Perfect

    Bianca

    I found this colour perfect for those who have a medium skin tone. It gives such a perfect shade without looking too ashy or too warm. Just the right in between shade for every day bronzer. I also use this when I want an everyday eyeshadow base
  21. Best Bronzer!

    Ren

    I absolutely LOVE this bronzer! It's so hard to find a bronzer that adds some colour without looking orange or muddy so I was absolutely relieved to find this one! It contours my cheekbones so well and adds a nice tan to my face without over doing it and making me look like a UK chav LOL

    Highly pigmented, it is buildable, blends easily and lasts all day.
  24. Cool toned bronzer best suited for medium and darker skins

    SarahNotSara

    Cool toned bronzer than isn't orange or patchy. Perfect for medium and darker tones as it's very pigmented and rich. I'm light toned in winter and medium in summer and I'm only able to use this as a bronzer in the summertime when I'm tanned. It's a great shade for contouring as it's not orange or too brown but if you're light to medium use a very light hand!!!
  25. Amazing

    Av

    This is one of my fav products from THEBALM. Highly pigmented, doesn't fade and blends easily.
  26. Great contour

    sarahrobyn

    Great contour for those who need something darker than Hoola
  27. Used this for years

    Zoey

    I've used this for years after I realised its just like my Nars Laguna bronzer! a friend actually took mine for herself after she used it because its that good!
  28. Great cool toned bronzer/contour

    Sarah

    This bronzer is perfect for those who have been searching for a cool toned bronzer. The fact it's cool makes it good for contouring too. As always, The Balm powders are suuuper pigmented and a little swipe goes a long way. If you're pale to light skinned you might find this shade a little too dark (You might be fine with a light hand), but light to medium and darker will love this cool tone.
  29. Great for contouring and bronzing

    Marta

    This is one of my go-to products and it works incredibly well for both bronzing up the face and contouring due to its natural colour. Also the perfect shade to use as an all over lid colour - as it is pigmented with a buildable coverage and it isn't orange at all.
  30. Bronzing staple

    Gigi

    This bronzer allows you to build up the product and blends like a dream. Is also cool toned enough you can use it as a contour.
  31. Natural colour

    F

    Very natural and pigmented shade that lasts all day. I find the pan slightly awkward to get into with a fluffy brush though.
  32. Lovelyyyy

    Kris

    I really like this bronzer, it’s very natural looking, easy to blend and matched my skin tone so well!
  33. nice and natural

    ton

    I do love this bronzer, it's smooth and doesn't get muddy but i find it too cool toned and more of a contour shade.
  34. everyday Bronzer

    Cherry

    it is a nice everyday bronzer that is very easy to apply and very blendable. i sometimes use it alone on my eyes to create a simple look.
  35. Island glow

    Bec

    Gives my face this gorgeous, island glow! Super beautiful bronze with no orange tint. I love this!!
  36. A decent bronzer, particularly for a beginner

    Mandstar87

    This was the first bronzer I ever purchased, as I used a lot of items from TheBalm to begin with. It is a decent bronzer, the colour is a nice tone, but I would recommend going in with a light hand. For reference I am NC 25-30.
  37. Beautiful bronzer/contour

    Ella

    Love this bronzer, especially since it is cruelty free. It's a lovely matte shade that isn't too orange-y, and looks great when used as both a contour and bronzer. As always, The Balm also has greatly pigmented products.
  38. Amazing

    Prabhjot

    This is an amazing matte bronzer which is buildable and pigmented. It takes a bit of time to blend in but once blended in properly, it looks beautiful and lasts long time.
  39. Lovely

    Kit

    This is a great all rounder bronzer, I wore it when I had brown hair and can wear it now that I have copper hair. It builds beautifully and if you over apply, it doesn't go muddy.
  40. Amazing!

    Flower

    Has lasted forever! Its warm enough that it makes you look tan yet cool enough that you are not orange! absolutely love. Have used it for natural and glam looks.m
  41. Quite a good contour shade

    Mandstar87

    For reference I am about NC25-30. I like natural looking makeup. This bronzer looks fine on me with a light hand, but if applied too heavy handed can look patchy and too dark. I stopped using this as I like applying bronzer without too much concern I am going to look too dark or orange. May be better suited for more tanned girls though.
  42. Amazing

    Lina

    This is my daily bronzer and I love it!!! The packaging is so cute and for the most part it is pretty neutral, however I feel like if you put on too much it can start to turn a tad but orange (on me anyway, could be my undertone to blame) and a little muddy. But if you're light handed this is amazing. Highly recommend
  43. Love

    Aline

    Easy to smudge, leaves a very beautiful depth on the skin, use as a contour. It lasts medium in the face.
  44. good for medium skin

    Emma

    This is a deep and pigmented bronzer, good for medium skin tones. I like the colour and it's not orange, however, I don't think it's the most smooth bronzer. Can be a bit patchy/muddy if you're not careful.
  45. Love it

    Natalie

    Perfect little travel bronzer for on the go, not too dark or orange love it!
  46. Bronzer

    Ka

    This has a lovely golden tan undertone, but none of that orange colour. It's definitely not a cool contour on me, more of a bronzer. Packaging is cardboard but sturdy
  47. Decent bronzer

    Neelam

    This was the very first bronzer I ever got and I love the shade. It is not too cool and not too warm and I feel like I can even contour with it. Unfortunately though I did not find it to blend out too nicely on me and sometimes could look muddy. It is very matte though and I love using it in my crease as a transition.
  48. Dupe for Nars Languna

    Zoey

    For me this is the perfect dope for the Nars Laguna bronzer ! It is super pigmented so a little really goes a long way - it's buildable but I wouldn't say necessary with this product as a small amount is all you need. The price range is amazing compared to other bronzers ! Would recommend and I have bought this many times for friends birthdays !
  49. Great colour and pigment

    Melissa

    A little goes a long way with this. It is easily blendable and the colour is natural and long lasting
  50. deep, rich bronze

    yil

    A super deep, rich bronzer that gives beautiful warmth to the face. Blends like a dream too
  51. Best Natural Bronzer

    Ess

    I love this bronzer because it gives a natural bronzey glow to my skin and looks like I just came back from a luxurious island vacay.
  52. Gorgeous!

    Brittles

    It’s a very pretty bronzer. It doesn’t go on patchy or blotchy. Very buildable which I like, looks natural also. One of the best bronzers I have come across. Give it a try ladies.
  53. Good Bronzer

    Brittany

    I find this to be very similar to the hoola benefit bronzer. It gives off a nice bronzy look without looking too dark. It's also super affordable too!
  54. Lovely bronzer

    Brittles

    Perfect bronzer. Not to warm or cool it's a perfect inbetween. It's smooth and not patchy at all. A perfect contour powder and definitely my go to. Give it a try ladies!
  55. blendable and nice colour

    Bronte

    This bronzer is such a nice colour and easy to blend. Ive been using it everyday and I still haven't hit pan so a little goes a long way!
  56. Perfect for the summer months and fake tan!

    Amy

    This product looks flawless on my skin when it is tanned!
    Really lovely and looks great! Great pigment and is a really lovely colour !
    When I am too pale to use this shade for a bronzer i use it as an eyeshadow and it performs equally as well, and really works well to warm up the crease
  57. soft bronze

    mani

    it is my favourite bronzer ever because it gives a natural bronze and is not too dark or light. little goes long way and it blends with the skin very flawlessly
  58. Favourite bronzer ever

    katelyn

    this bronzer suits my olive skin tone so well, it is just perfect! not too orange and not too ashy. i have had it for years and have barely hit pan! so affordable too, 10/10 would recommend
  59. Great for me

    Jay

    My skin colour tends to change during summer and winter a little, this looked great on my skin regardless of the weather which is unique for me!
  60. So versatile!

    Lulu

    This bronzer is so versatile - I use this as a contour, blush and to add a hint of colour as an eyeshadow. It gives me the perfect natural bronze that wears the entire day and I highly recommend!
  61. Great colour and texture

    Rhiannon

    The colour is perfect and so blendable. I’ve used on both olive and fairer complexions and it works beautifully.
  62. perfect for summer

    monique

    bronzer is the perfect colour for summer and complements olive skin tones well. packaging is sleek and small so perfect for travelling
  63. lovely matte bronzer

    Thi

    i love this bronzer

    - its matte and no shimmer
    - this bronzer is more cool tone brown rather than a strange orangey bronzer
    - so universal for contouring and shaping features on the face
    - doesn't fade and great pigmentation
  64. Love this!

    Lucy

    I love this I’m gonna cry when I run out it’s the best!
  65. This is a staple!

    SBL

    This bronzer is my ultimate go-to. I have textured skin, so I don't want any reflectiveness in my bronzer at all and this is as matte as they come.

    It isn't too cool or too warm toned so it can be used for both contouring and bronzing to warm the face and it's a smooth easily blendable formula so it never looks stipey or patchy!
  66. My favorite bronzer

    Lina

    By far this is my FAVOURITE bronzer of all time. I love the packaging, it blends like a dream and the colour is just right. This is definitely a bronzer, so i wouldn't use it to contour my face (I have light skin). The colour isn't orange but it's isn't neutral or cool either. I've had for ages and I still haven't hit pan and I use it almost everyday. Just perfect
  67. So Good!

    Fran

    This Bronzer is perfect if you are after a bronzer with no shimmer - It is great for contouring as well. Great for a day look where you aren't wanting shimmer!
  68. Great multi use product

    Alice

    Great color, to contour if you are into that. Personally i love to pop this in the crease of my lid to warm up an eye look. Super blendable ( I use a nars fluffy blending brush), but works for my fave bronzey warm eye look.
  69. great bronzer

    Neel88

    This is a cult favourite for a reason. It suits most skin tones, blends out nicely and is just an overall winner. I was after a matte bronzer and there didn't seem to be a lot out there, they all seemed to have some shimmer. This is one of my favourites.
  70. Great brand

    Carly

    Love the balm bronzers especially Bahama mama. Such a nice but natural tone. Light enough for winter but can put on bit more in summer
  71. Great neutral bronzer

    Bec

    I love this bronzer so much! I imagine it would be good for both cool and warm toned skin as it is quite a neutral and matte bronzer. Looks great on my skin when I am at my palest, and when I am my most bronzed in summer.
  72. Great

    Jess

    This is a great matte bronzer. It has a beautiful warm tone and blends well
  73. in love with it

    perfecting skin

    it is a very soft matte bronzing powder. and gives your face a warm tone. i use it for contouring on the cheeks and forehead. little goes a long way. i have fair complexion and dry skin but this powder has never given me any troubles.
  74. Love!

    Kate

    This is an excellent bronzer, which I reach for daily. I've tried many different bronzers, but still prefer this one. The colour is great and suits both my mum and I, who is much tanner than I am. It doesn't look muddy or orange and gives me a well defined contour. The packaging is super cute and compact too
  75. Great Contouring Product

    Suzie

    I use this to contour my face. It's not too harsh, and can be used to build on for a natural looking definition of cheeks.
  76. Love

    Taylah

    The formula of this is excellent, it has just the right amount of pigment and blends effortlessly. The shade is neutral and works great on fair skin as a contour shade, or on medium - tanned skin as a bronzer.
  77. Great colour

    Leah

    Smooth application, good colour that isn’t red orange or glittery. Just a good decent mid tone brown that is fairly foolproof if you use a light hand.

    I’ve got light NC20 skin that is ageing and dry. Works fine on me.
  78. Love it

    Lilly

    Very happy with this product, the bronzer give you a great holiday bronze at a cheap price. Have recommended it friends already.
  79. Will give you a holiday bronze

    C

    This bronzer is really natural and easily buildable without looking cakey or uneven, it's a nice brown that will look just like you've been on holiday and got a natural tan. I have quite pale skin but with olive undertones and tan a lot, maybe wouldn't recommend for pale skin with pink undertones, however it is quite light and natural so would probably suit most people. I usually get the Natio bro...

  84. Great bronzer be sure to blend

    sarah

    This is by far the best bronzer , great value for money as lasts ages . Be sure to blend well as will look patchy otherwise , very easy product to blend however. Also gives you that bronzed look without making your skin look dirty
  85. Not the best

    Georgia

    Not sure if I love this product. If you're looking for a bronzer with no shimmer then don't get this.

    Kiara

    This bronzer is my go to. I have olive skin, and most bronzers either make my cheeks look orange or muddy. This one however is amazing! It is the perfect colour and blends out so so well on my skin! Will be repurchasing!
  88. Love This Bronzer

    Yiana

    This has taken top spot on my list of favourite bronzers. I have very olive skin and detest when bronzers are too orangey, but Bahama Mama has such cool undertones and suits me when I am super pale in winter and also (with a more heavy hand of course) when I go super dark during summer.
    The formula is amazing and doesn't become streaky at all. I have always found it really easy to blend, whe...

  89. Highly pigmented!

    Mikaela

    I love this bronzer on my medium skin tone - not too orange or red, but a nice tan colour. Just be careful as it’s highly pigmented so can apply patchily if not applied well/with a good brush/a heavy hand.
  90. Amazing

    Lily-Rose

    I loooove the formula!!! It makes me look so tan and the packaging is amazing
  91. Not too pink or red!

    Victoria

    I have light-ish skin with yellow undertones, and I find most bronzers are way too pink/red for me and look very strange on my skin. However, this is the perfect colour, even when I'm wearing fake tan. It just looks like my skin tone but darker - no pink/red in sight!

    It's also quite pigmented and blends easily. Would definitely recommend :)
  92. Great

    Jaimi

    Loved this bronzer for so long! Unfortunately I’ve got no tan at the moment and it’s too deep for my white skin but it’s a beautiful product! Loved it and used it daily when I could
  93. Superb

    Chantelle

    This bronzer is AMAZING. I can't stress this enough. It works really well with pale skin tones up to tan skin tones. The formula blends out really nicely and doesn't look harsh or cakey on the skin. The packaging itself is so nice and the product will last you for ages.
  94. Neat little package

    Riya

    Lovely cool toned bronzer. Works really great for contouring and bronzing. Very compact - so it is great for travelling as well.
  95. YES

    Johanna

    Great bronzer, great value. Don't have to have heaps of product on the brush to get a good result.
  96. Amazing!

    Nic

    This is one of my favourite bronzers of all time. It gives me such a deep and rich bronze glow, with minimal shimmer so it's perfect for contouring. It doesn't make my skin look muddy at all, which is really good for a contour shade. A little product goes a long way with this product so it lasts a really long time. I would definitely recommend this for darker skins.
  97. Loooove

    Brittany

    I love it! It creates a natural shade and very comparable to the Benefit Hoola bronzer.
  98. great bronzer for medium skin!

    gigi

    Normally bronzers that show up on my medium skin are too orange or red but this has such a lovely shade which is great for adding back warmth to my face after foundation and can even be used as a light contour!!
  99. Once you go Bahama Mama you never go back!

    Katie

    For years I have tried to find a bronzer that suits my skin and I have finally found it. I have fairly pale, pink-toned skin and found most bronzers too orange and shimmery. This one has no shimmer and a greenish undertone to counteract the pink in my skin. Because I am so fair I don't need to use a lot so this product lasts a long time. It would suit all skin types as it is very buildable. I use ...

    Lucy

    I bought this ages ago but always come back to it - I have fair/light coloured skin which is really oily but this stays on forever I use it everyday and still haven’t hit pan. It is warm toned but nothing a light hand can’t fix I use the nude by nature brush with this to bronze. Love this product!
