I find that a small to medium sized brush, with stiff natural bristles works well with this bronzer. Sephora's angled blush brush is a great size for it; the compact isn't very big.
However, I typically apply my bronzer only to contour my face (sides of face, under cheek bones, sides of nose). If you're the type to apply bronzer ALL OVER, then you'll want a bigger sized brush; possibly a kabuki-type.
As for other tips...don't saturate your brush with this bronzer; a little bit goes a nice long way. You can always build up the color to your liking if it goes on too sheer the first few swipes. :)

I use a kabuki brush, and that's always worked fine for me. Just don't load too much of the bronzer on the brush.

I use the sephora brand small blush brush

Powder Brush for all over contouring, you could also use a blush brush for highlighting cheekbones and temples

I use a short handled brush, the brush itself is slightly larger, not stiff but not soft, spreads really well and light.

I personally use a kabuki brush to apply all my facial powders. For bronzers, its best to apply it where 'sun' would naturally hit your face. Basically I make giant 3s on the sides of my face, starting above my eyebrow, coming down on my cheek, and onto my jawline. I like to blend it into my hair line too so it doesn't look like i'm wearing a brown mask. Whats great about the brush is that it is easy to blend into your skin to give a natural finish. Definitely don't buy a bronzer that is too dark for your skin, your not looking to become orange. Just buy something that will give you a wonderful light glow. I am fairly light skinned and I found this bronzer to be perfect!

Tokidoki sells a kabuki brush that's perfect for this. Many brands sell their own version of a kabuki brush as well. But, really, any powder brush will do. Here's some tips: start by applying bronzer around the edges of your face, lightly, you can always add more later. brush from the outside edges of your face inward. Then just a tiny brushing along your forehead, chin and nose (if you like that look). I usually add a slight pinkish blush to the apples of my cheeks last (you can try Nars, Orgasm, which I think looks great on everyone!) Hope that helps (^_^)

I would use this product with a blush brush, not foundation... better control and you'll apply less too!

You'll want to use a large powder brush. Most of the time these will be called bronzer brushes or face/body brushes.

The reason for this is that if you use a smaller brush, the bronzing powder will be more concentrated. You'll end up with a dark line of bronzer. With a large powder brush, the powder is distributed more evenly. You get a light application of bronzer that spreads more easily over your cheeks (or wherever you want to apply) and looks more natural.

Hi,

This is one of those products that can't be messed up. You can use a Kabuki brush or a blush brush or a bronzing/blush brush. tokidoki or Sephora brand along with most of the other brands have great brushes. If a Sephora is near you, you might want to go try the brushes out and have a consultant help you. Some brushes feel really good in my hand and there's been a few that are just clumsy. You won't know that until you try.

Also, make sure to pick up some brush cleaner so that you can keep your brush clean. Once again, Sephora sells a whole bunch of them. I clean my brushes daily and shampoo about once a week. A good brush can last almost forever or until it gets lost. Many of my brushes are at least 10 years old, if not more, and in erfect condition. Knowing that a good brush can last almost forever if well taken care should probably suggest you get the best brush you can afford that's comfortable for you. I usually find, however, that the more expensive brushes aren't any better than others. Also, some people like me prefer synthetic bristles over those made of animal hair.

So choose a brush that feels good in your hand and doesn't have loose bristles. (You can tug on them a little bit to make sure they're securely attached). For bronzers and blushes I prefer a somewhat soft brush.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

Well I put it on top of my Blackberry Curve & it's as big as the first half of it. In my opinion a pretty decent size for $22. I got mine last week & I've been using it ever since & it has yet to leave a mark so it looks like it'll last a little while :)

compacr square size

It's a small enough compact to fit in your hand. It's not a giant disc or anything. Would definitely fit comfortable in any purse or make-up bag.

It's about 3"x3" square compact

pretty normal in size, normal compact size, don't need to use much. Its about 2 and half inches by 2 and a half.

It comes in a square compact that measures roughly 2inches, by 2 inches.

The case is 2 and 1/2 square. The bronze pan fits inside fully and is pretty shallow 3/16 of an inch. A little goes a long way, though, so I think it'll last a long time.

bronzer is as small as a blush kit... smaller than your plam!

It's pocket size you can easily fit it in a small make up bag, really convenient!

Hi,

I suggest using the Royal Pride (light/medium with gold shimmer) for your fair skin.

toki doki has a shimmer effect. try benefit bronzer.

I have fair skin and this stuff is amazing! It adds the perfect amount of tan to give you that 'I-just-went-to-the-pool' look, but don't go trigger happy or you will look like an orange.

I have a light skin tone and the sales girl recommended the darker color Diavolina. It looks wonderful on my skin! I use it on the main spots like cheekbones, bridge of nose, and across my forehead. If you are worried that the Diavolina is still too dark for you then go ahead and get Royal Pride since it is specially made for light/medium skin tones.

My skin is light medium, I have freckles, hazel eyes and medium brown hair, I got Royal Pride in The Robbery Palette and I cannot tell you how much I love it! Other bronzers made my face look "dirty" or were too dark, or too brown, or too yellow, this one is simply perfect. I don't think that you will be disappointed, really. I highly recommend this product.

I have a light skin tone and I was recommended the darker color Diavolina. It looks wonderful on my skin tone as well. So I think since you have a medium skin tone it will look just as fabulous on you as it does on me.

i have tried both, and cannot account for the way it looks after a workout, but i love the tokidoki more than the tarte. i have light/medium skin though. to me the tarte seemed more muddy. the tokidoki has more shimmer to it and i would consider it more gold than brown. i also like this because it doesn't dry out my already dry skin (thanks to the rice lipids)

It doesn't have those tiny flecks of shimmer that I personally find so annoying. This formula gives you a very subtle sheen, it doesn't make your skin look shiny at all. I live in South Florida and I don't need any extra glow that will make me appear sweaty. And until I found Tokidoki - in Royal Pride - I had bought and thrown away lots of different products. This one is a keeper! My skin looks smooth and radiant, with a nice, even tone, and it will last until you take it off. I will definitely repurchase.
