I used this back (in Baked) in 2005, when bronzers seemingly started to take over the market (well, at least, to me). A Sephora Makeup Artist recommended this to me for a big event, and it worked very well.

At the time, I only wore makeup for special occasions, so when I dropped it awhile later, I was very sad to see it break into a few large pieces.

A year after that, I decided it was high time for another bronzer, so I headed down to Sephora and picked a new one out. It must have been summer or something, b/c Sephora had this tower of bronzers. A Makeup Artist picked out two, and I’m still using one of those today. Maybe I don’t wear makeup much (I’m up to weekly now), but Cargo’s bronzer gives me a nice glow that BF thought was natural, ie tan =D I love how finely milled it is - so fine, that sometimes I’m not sure if I’m wearing enough. It has subtle sparkles/glitter in it that I’ve had people comment on, but only if they’re like THIS CLOSE to your face. Try it if you haven’t, Cargo’s bronzers are GREAT! If this huge pan ever runs out, I might try another, but I think I’ll always have a soft spot for this.

Okay, this is one I really want to have - bronzers are great for “older” skin - like mine!

Tracy, not what I had, but I bet it’s beautiful. I adore bronzers on my fair skin because it a touch of natural color and there’s no chance of looking flushed or sunburned! Looks like I will have to someday add another one to my collection. Leave it to Urban Decay to take something as ubiquitous as a bronzer and make it their own.
Jen, I love UD’s design idea, but not all my makeup is vegan so I’d have to cheat and that just defeats the whole purpose. If I had the $50 I could grab the few items I need, but I need those items to grab the 50 bucks. Quite a catch 22 yeah?
Decorative Diva, it’s amazing. Seriously, my hands down favorite.

I’ve never tried Urban Decay, but I was drooling over it at my first visit to a Sephora store last week.

Oooo… I like the idea of using it both wet or dry. What a cool concept! Thanks for the review MBB!

Mo, is this the stuff you had on the other day that looks so incredible?
