This is a pretty good bronzer. It adds color, but it does have a little shimmer, so if you want a totally matte bronzer this may not be it. Its not like sparkly though, so no worries there. But the packaging is a little weird. When i dip the built in brush into the little hole where the bronzer comes out, there can sometimes be too much bronzer on the brush. But what i do to fix that is to dab the brush and the excess bronzer onto the plastic lid that you screw off and its ok if you get bronzer on that part because it would touch bronzer anyway when you turn it upside down to get the product out. But overall, nice product :)
