Nars Laguna bronzer

I recently gave in and purchased this bronzer online from Mecca (ouch expensive) but I can tell you that at $72 (not sure where it retails at $57) it was worth every cent!!

Absolutely no regrets! The bronzer be beautiful and silky it the tiniest hint of shimmer which prevents it from turning 'muddy' on your skin.

I wish I had given in earlier because I don't think I will ever use another bronzer again! Total Holy Grail Cult beauty product.

I absolutely adore the simple classic NARS packaging - although it can tend to get a bit filthy so I clean mine regularly (just call me Monica).

If you don't own this bronzer and would like too but are putting it off due to the price I say go for it. honestly you definitely wont regret it!

I have medium-dark skin and this works well as a contouring powder for me. Even though it contains shimmer, the particles are so fine that they don't really translate onto the skin, or are barely visible. That makes it perfect for contouring! Also this doesn't look orange like some bronzers do. It is more of a dusky brown with golden shimmer. I probably wouldn't repurchase only because I like my tarte bronzer a little better. But this is an amazing product!

I really, really, really like this bronzer. It's the perfect one bronzer for contouring and bronzing, it has just enough of a cool undertone to use for contouring but it's warm enough to use as bronzer. It also blends beautifully on your skin and it manages to suit most skin tones. When I first got this as mini in a gwp, I used the mini to contour every time I did my makeup for days and still didn't see a dent in the small mini and so ended purchasing it in a palette. It's buildable and doesn't look powdery or cakey on the skin. The only gripe I have about this bronzer is the Nars packaging. It's this rubberized sleek looking packaging until, you use it and the powder sticks to and makes it look dirty. If Nars would just change their packaging I would buy more of their products. But that being said, I still would repurchase this bronzer.

I was sad when my bronzer was deleted.... but my sorrow was short lived. In walked Nars and my life was never the same.

You need a bronzer. No really you do. Contouring is your friend, sun kissed without the damage, yummy tones and people asking you what you are doing to look so good. Seriously.

If you are a fan of the blusher Nars Orgasm this is it's bronzer sister. They pair up together beautifully. Or are perfect alone by themselves.

Nars has great casing. Simple, black and has a great mirror (great for those on the go).

The reason I like this bronzer is that it has a gradual build up. I am very pale (like a ghost) so I am always worried if a bronzer is too dark. But this has a gorgeous brown shimmer that applys wonderfully and blends with your natural colour. So if you want it to be darker you just add more.

It wears well - usually I apply before I go to work and then I might add a bit more if I am heading out after (I prefer my bronzer slightly darker for night wear)

I know this has a bigger price tag but it really is worth the $$ and it lasts a long time. I mean I get great wear out of mine and I use this everyday. I will even sometimes only use bronzer and mascara (if I do not want a make up day) just to give my face a little colour. I can not recommend this enough.

I've been wearing this bronzer for the last two months straight. I love using this things so for me to want to keep using the same product, means I must really like it!

I don't actually have the separate pan of this, I have the bronzer in a face palette with other blushes and a highlight. The usual nars packaging is pretty basic, I've owned a blush before. It's a black thin compact that gets dirty pretty easily!

The actual powder is a medium toned, warm brown. It has some shimmer to it in the pan, but I never actually notice it on my face, I think it just more looks like a glow on my face rather than a glitter bomb. I like to use a big fluffy powder brush to put it on the outsides of my face and cheekbones. I sort of use it to contour but not properly as it really is too warm for that. This powder blends out really nicely, it doesn't stick to patches on my face or look chunky. I have quite light skin but it doesn't look too much on me. It is a more buildable powder, so the darker you are, the more you would need to put on. I think most light to medium skins would be able to wear this.

I can definitely see myself using this all up and repurchasing one day. I'd recommend to others, although I know it is pricey. Bronzers do last for quite a while though.

I decided to mix things up and try some NARS products and Laguna was at the top of my list to try. Like all NARS products the packaging is matte and classy looking while the product itself is gorgeous! A lovely shimmer to it, Laguna looks beautiful and sits beautifully on my skin (oliy)- I was nervous that being quite fair skinned it would look too dark but its easy to blend and build coverage with it - the NARS Ita brush is fab to use it with too! Its not quite my favourite as I adore Hoola too much but it is a gorgeous product and my only complaint would be that for the price you don't get much product and will hit pan if you don't use it evenly within a month

As a beauty lover I just had to purchase this cult favourite to see what all the fuss was about! The hype is true...this is a lovely product!

The packaging is the standard gorgeous and very classic Nars packaging which I love the look off, but, hate how everything possible seems to cling to it making it grubby looking most of the time. It is a sturdy, sleek and secure case with a decent mirror inside making it a great travel companion.

The bronzer itself is a matte perfect shade of brown, neither too orange or grey making it perfect for both contouring and an all over colour. It does have a fine gold shimmer through it, but, this is more visible in the pan than on the skin and translates on the face as more of a healthy glow which is why I describe it as matte (there are no visible glitters on the face, unless you got a magnifying glass out). The tone of this bronzer really is fantastic for my cool fair skin and I find it is perfectly pigmented. It is not so pigmented that I easily apply too much (I'm fair so this isn't hard), but, not lacking pigment to the degree that it needs a lot of building up. I find it wears well lasting throughout the day without wearing off or becoming patchy

The texture is smooth and silky and not at all powder which makes it look super natural on the skin and easy to evenly apply and blend into the skin. Nars is a high end brand so the price is a little steep, but, it is a fail proof gorgeous product that I will repurchase because I think it is worth it.

Purchased one of these afew years back as I had heard it was a cult classic and unfortunately mine didn’t seem to have much colour pay off it was like it had a film or layer over the top so not too sure if I got a dud or I just need to work into it more with my brush

Nars Laguna is my HOLY GRAIL bronzer, it is not only a very buildable bronzer but also a very versatile product. I can go with a nice natural all over face bronze to give myself a nice subtle glow or I can use it as a dark contour and build on it more to define my face. I also love using this bronzer as an eyeshadow shade, because you can build it to be a very good transition shade. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a new bronzer!

This is the perfect summer bronzer and I'll never be without it. It's totally he perfect neutral to warm tone for bronzing, I've heard some use it to contour but I think it's too warm and it has a slight gold shimmer through it which doesn't show up too much on the face. I like to use it with a big fluffy brush all round the perimeter of my face to frame it and give me some colour. It's a pricey item but I do think it's worth it
