essence | Baby Got Bronze Liquid Bronzer | Lightweight, Buildable, Natural Finish with Sponge Applicator| Vegan & Cruelty Free (20 | Sunkissed Sweety)

The best sculptor I've ever had! I've tried many lux products, but I was amazed that this one for just $6 works perfectly. I have shade 10, which is cool-toned and looks like a natural shadow without any yellow-orange undertones.

I have not used the original Charlotte Tilbury versions of this but I have a few of the ELFs and I have to say that even the CT ones at Sephora look extremely messy. First off, I have a couple of the Essence blushes in this style and though I like them, I find it so hard to use a small enough amount to not look like a clown and have to blend for a ridiculous time. So I went into this knowing how to open and close the top but there is still something about the puff on the top that makes these so hard to use. Maybe it is because I prefer creme to liquid. Either way, I am quite pale and I ended up really liking this color on my face. It was nice to not have to worry about it being too warm since it is a straight cool grey. I also used one of the Essence blushes in a long time and as I squeezed I thought nothing was coming out and it was actually oozing out the other side, which upset me quite a bit as I lost a lot. So basically I like it, I just don't love it. You have to go into this knowing that the applicator has a serious learning curve, but if you use a minimal amount, and clean up the applicator after every use and remember to to turn it to off, it is worth the value. I do really like the blush colors a lot too. And if you don't want a cool contour, there are many warmer shades. I am taking a star off because of the aggravating applicator.

This is my first time using a liquid bronzer. I love it, a little bit goes a long way. It also blends really nice! I will be buying again!

This essence Baby Got Bronze Liquid Bronzer is such a good value! The shade I got, "10 - Sweet Shadows," has a very cool tone. It almost looks gray once it is blended into the skin. I have fair, cool-toned skin, and I always have trouble with bronzers being too orange on me. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that this one is perfect for me to use to contour! I also like the formula. It is water resistant and very long wearing - it lasts all day on me without fading much. I find it fairly easy to blend in, but the one caveat is that it is only blendable before it sets, and it sets super quickly. So, it works much better if you blend it as you go, rather than applying it all over the face and then blending it in.It comes with a sponge applicator on the tip of the bottle that locks to keep the product from coming out of the tube when not in use. When it is unlocked, it releases a lot of product quickly. So, I try to just squeeze a bit out at a time and tap the product from the applicator to the back of my hand. From there, I'll use my fingers to take it from my hand and apply (and blend) it onto my face. When I apply it directly from the bottle, it can be easy to accidentally use too much product.This bronzer has a small learning curve, since it is so pigmented, comes out rapidly, and dries down quickly. Once you get used to using it, though, it's a wonderful product. It lasts much longer than other liquid bronzers I have tried from similar brands. However, it is definitely better for contouring; if you're looking for a warm-toned bronzer that will give you a sun-kissed look, you probably won't like this.

I had high hopes for this product, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. While I appreciate the lightweight formula, the shade (Sweet Shadows) didn’t suit my skin tone at all—it just didn’t give a flattering color. On top of that, I found the product difficult to blend, even when using the included sponge applicator.I like that it’s vegan and cruelty-free, but the application process wasn’t as seamless as I expected. It took extra effort to avoid streakiness, and the finish didn’t look as natural as promised. For someone looking for a user-friendly bronzer with a smooth blend, this might not be the best option.

pros:- very affordable- lightweight and pretty blendablecons:- not for warm skin tone girlies! shade 10, sweet shadows, is incredibly cool toned and looked like gray mud on my face

My daughter had a bronser that was 40$ and this is better

I recently tried the Essence Baby Got Bronze Liquid Bronzer in the shade "10 Sweet Shadows". The product comes in a squeezy tube with a twist-lock mechanism and a cushion applicator. I don't use the cushion applicator for blending because it is a little hard but instead use a beauty blender for it. The formula is thin and blendable, which is nice, but the shade "Sweet Shadows" is extremely cool-toned—almost grey—which can look unnatural on warmer skin tones. While the bronzer does dry down and isn't too glowy, I had to spend extra time blending to achieve a natural look. For those with fair skin and cool undertones, this might be a good affordable option.
