I love the tri-color bronzer... To me it lasts longer both on your body and it also last longer in the number of times you can use it.

I want to order either the SA tri-color bronzer, or the TDS bronzer.
What's your preference?...

I have both and I prefer SA...it blends easier and also what I like to do sometimes is just target my brush on one of the colors for a different look...or you can blend all the colors together

I like the TDS bronzer. It doesn't have the shimmer that the tri-colours do, so it looks like a natural tan instead of make-up. This is great for the body too!

I like and use both. Almost every day in the summerI use the SA as a blush and then the TDS for a natural tan look( I sometimes even use it to cover my strap marks from my bathing suit). In the winter I still tend to use the TDS more than I do the SA but I like both.
My vote is that you get one of each!

I don't like either. They are really the only products from BeautiControl that I don't like. But I love hearing how everyone uses them as I'd like to find a way to sell the TDS bronzer I have in stock to someone who would really like it.
Both clogged my pores when used on my face. Keep in mind though that my pores clog REALLY easily. I use the All Clear system even in the winter and I'm 44.
I gave my TDS bronzer to a friend and she admitted to me recently that she has gone back to her Estee Lauder bronzer for her face as she liked it better. (I have to admit EL's looks good on her).
I found both to be too dark. In the summer, when I was trying them, I use P3 (sometimes mixed with P4 if I use self-tanner). So it's not as if I 'm pale.

The trick to using the TDS bronzer is the harder you press the sponge applicator, the more product comes out and the darker it looks. I'm very pale, I mix N-1 with my P-2 in the winter, and I don't find either of these too dark for me. LIke all make-up, it comes down to personal preference. I agree with the earlier post, get both and see which one YOU like!

I personally know people who love the TDS but are to heavy handed to use the sponge applicator sothey always end up with it being way darker than they want it so what I suggest for people like that is that they purchase the bronzer brush and lightly press the bronzer brush on the sponge applicator and use the bronzer brush to apply it. I have several clients who do this and they say it works much better that way for them.

oh I love the TDS Bronzer but I dont even use the sponge part because it can be dark. What I do is use a blush type brush and just rub it on the sponge part to get just a little bit of bronzer and use it for my blush and just put it on the apple of my cheeks and brush lightly and it just looks like the sun has slightly kissed my cheeks.
I dont understand about it clogging your pores. It shouldnt clog your pores if you are washing your face at night too.

I love that idea! I heard from a make-up artist director toopen it up and use the brush directly in the powder. I tried it and what a mess!! And of course you get even more bronzer that way. I need to try using the brush on the sponge. That's brilliant. After usiing the sponge a lot, it tends to get saturated and leave circles where you press it on. A brush would blend much more easily. Thanks!! I'm going to share this with my team.

I love the Tri-Color Bronzer, and I useBronzed Beautias my everyday blush. My color ranges from N-3 in the summer to N-1 in the winter and I've never found it to be too dark for me. I do not use the Kabuki brush, but rather the blush brush in our brush set... I find that I get a much morenatural application this way. Slowlybuilding up the color on your cheekbones and blending softly is key too. You can always add color, but you can't take away. Eventually, you'll know just how many swirls to make to getjust the rightamount for you.I have also used the TDS bronzer as Cat suggests with the blush brush application instead of the puff. I much prefer to use it this way. Ileanmore tothe Tri-Color Bronzer morebecauseI love the soft shimmer that itadds to my face and the ability to blend the three colors to my desired intensity level.
