Fingers! I find that a brush sweeps away too much of the product and sheers it out more than I like. The color builds up and layers easily though!

I don't really make much use of bronzers, so it would be silly of me to buy one the size of my rib cage, but the colour on that one does seem very subtle and appealing.

Sooo, I've got that huge mosaic powder in my online cart. I don't know what to do. I am waiting to be enabled by anyone, specifically Ingenue(

). I am not a fan of bronzers, but I did find one I like: Bobbi Brown's matte powder bronzer. Not sure if I need another one, but this one looks so luxurious and awesome. Will it really make enough of a difference on my skin? Will I regret buying it? That's what I'm afraid of. I hate returns. Ah, what to do?

Now see...

I love the Giant Mosaic Bronzer. Once the overspray is gone, the color scheme is divine for darker skin tones. It evens out the skin and makes it just glow...

I couldn't resist. Today I went to get the Mosaic bronzer and also brought the Terra Inca Sublime Radiant powder too. Now I am done with bronzers for a lifetime. I know I didn't need them both but I had to bring them home with me. Why o why???

Ingenue - your skin looks gorgeous!

Thanks. I agree that the brush will adsorb most of the product, but my eyes are very small so it's hard for me to use my finger to blend without bring it way to high. It will be better when I get the hang of it.

Thanks you guys!

I don't use bronzers to add color... I typically use them to even out my skintone. The Giant Mosaic gives me an overall glow that totally works... even in sunlight. I'm not a fan of shimmer bronzers all over (that's why Terra Inca gets used as a blush/highlight) because I'm not trying to look like a Twilight Vampire.

I love it. Now... I'm a bit of a bronzer whore so you might not wanna take my word for it. I just love the 'cheat' of a bronzer on my skin. It's better than a pressed powder for me. So as long as there's minimal or no shimmer, I'm game.

The Giant Mosaic is fabulous for me because you get a LOT of product for the money. As much as I love the Terracotta Bronzers... they are a lot smaller (and not much cheaper).

Haha another believer! Me too... I use it quite a bit now. I've been slammed on a current project and have had no time to actually play in my makeup... BOOO! But I'll be getting back to the FOTD's soon...

I really wish I had the opportunity to swatch this damn bronzer in person. :eek:hboy: My local mall thinks it's so damn fancy and yet, none of the department stores carry Guerlain.

The initial shimmer will turn you off, but it goes away SO FAST... and then there is just this big ol' pan of bronzer goodness underneath.

Holy wow! I've been test-driving the Inca bronzer and it has quickly become my favorite highlighter for summer. My all-time HG is (of course) Dior's Amber Diamond, but A/D gives me a shine while Inca seems to give me a serious lit-from-within GLOW. Super glowing skin -- in loveeeee! I don't think I'll be able to pull it off as well when I pale out for winter, so I'm trying to get the best use out of it while the sun's still out. :) Thanks for the recommendations, ladies!!

^^ Yup the glow that inca gives is so addictive. I keep wanting to wear it day after day. Can it be worn over pink blush, has anyone tried the combi? I bought terracotta bronzer in 00 today. The packaging is pretty but it feels difficult to open the lid. I don't want to damage the powder like what happened to my inca. I visited the guerlain counter at DFS and no giant mosaic there too.

I wear it with Overdyed from the Jeanius collection and it helps give my skin a summer glow - I've been wearing this combo ever since I purchased Terra Inca and love it!

I heard somewhere that using pinks and soft browns help the skin look glowy and trust me it works :)
