Nice golden bronzer. Will try it as eye make up as well as bronzer.

Not rue about the bronzer, haven’t used it since about 1988. DDs and I are all pale as pale so I suspect this will not be our colour. This is the first dud for me though so I can’t complain.

Agree about the 1988 comment, I wasn't sure people still go for that look. Perhaps someone can tell me what to do with it for an up to date look? Thanks

I'm not sure about the bronzer either, I'm pale, pink-toned and freckly and don't wear foundation (just tinted moisturiser occasionally). I already have a really nice gold eye-shadow. Not sure whether to try it or leave it untouched so I can give it away.

Pale and freckly non- bronzer user here too! It scares me a bit! But I will give it a go and use it on my eyes too, that's a great suggestion.

Only 2 days left!

I don't even know what a bronzer is. I don't wear foundation so is it pointless for someone like me.

Yup, after the spoiler yesterday I knew what I was getting but it looks lovely & I shall give it a go for xmas day.

You could always keep it for summer for arms and décolleté

I've used it as a very light dusting over my tinted moisturizer this morning and it gives a nice shimmer, rather than a full-on bronzed look. On the M&S website 1 reviewer said it can be layered up to give a stronger colour if that's what you want.

Today's value is £12.50, bringing our running total to £272.05.

I love that idea!

I like today's, but am also extremely pale so never use bronzer in the winter, unless for some reason tanned, so will wait until summer!
You just brush it across the areas where you tan/burn/go most freckly first in the sun. Top of cheekbones, bridge of nose and forehead.

Today is the day it is one of two things.

Some received the Autograph bronzer, others the Pur Afterglow Skin-Perfecting Powder Highlighter.

I received the bronzer.

Can you use the blusher brush? Or do you need a bigger one?

Nope, bronzer doesn't work for me. Into my stepdaughter's stocking it goes - just like 80% of the other things. Very disappointed.

Not something I really need as I find they last for about fifty million years. But a nice colour so I'll probably keep hold of it for now.
Agree with PPs if you're not a big make up person a light dusting over your collar bones for summer and for nights out is a nice way to use it.

Another non bronzer wearing pale person here... If anyone wants one and has something to swap then let me know!

Make up experts - can I use the bronzer as eyeshadow safely?

Lovely bronzer. I’m a pale woman too but I love bronzers. Can’t wait to try it. And I’ll try it on my lids too. ;)

I'm really happy with the brown eyeliner. I wore it yesterday and it looked natural and just gave my eyes some definition.

Not sure about bronzer but will read the tips and give it a go!

I've tried most products and the only one i don't like it the Skye lip thing that dried my lips out. Everything is such good quality, better than what I usually buy! Really enjoying it!

Yaaaaasssssss!

meet love the bronzer!!

Yay this is great as I wouldn't usually buy a bronzer!

I don't see why it couldn't be used as eyeshadow cuppy as I have a few sets that double up as eye/cheek products.

Love the eyeliner - well happy with last few days

I got the bronzer. I'm not a fan of bronzer, I'm very freckley so bronzer just makes me look mucky, like I've not washed in a month.

I use bronzer like blusher in the summer. Not all over my face.

Bluelady why are you disappointed with 80% of the products? You can find them out in advance (I watched a YouTube reveal thingie).

@Bluelady I've been running the liberty thread and there are a couple of products I daren't even open (as I am useless at make up and hair care) so happy to swap them with you if you're interested
