   I’m not particularly fair, nc25-30, and this works well on me. It doesn’t look like a bronzer in the pot but more of a pinky gold satin eyeshadow. On skin, it’s more of a healthy glow product and a lift than a bronzer, which suits me fine. I like it in winter as it’s not dark and just applying it makes be feel better. It’s quite unique as well and not dupable.
   I find it can emphasise pores and texture so not great if you’re having a bad skin day.

   First I did not like this bronzer becuase I thought it is too yellow to my skin. But once I was able to think outside the box and not try to blush with it, it actually looks really good. This shade is so light that I was for the first time use it as a bronzer is intended to. You see, whenever I have used a bronzer in past I would only use it either as a blush or contour. I would always have to be super carefull how much I apply. But this one just brings a tiny bit of color to my face without loooking like I have tried to contour. It does not work as a blush at all. It is too yellow for that.So I rather dust this on the sides of my face, even on my forehead, which I would never in a million years could have done with other bronzers becuase my forehead is like a huge white area on my face and any other bronzer would look patchy and orangey because of the whiteness of my skin. It never manage to irritate myskin and I even love to use it on my eyelids as an eyeshadow. Waikiki is a great product, but be aware that it is more yellow than most bronzers.

   This is a nice natural bronzer. Safe ingredients and I feel good about what I am putting on my face. Did not cause any breakouts or anything. It does blend nicely but you will need a good brush to get the effect you want. I find that the staying power is not overly great which may be expected with a natural product. If I use a mineral mist right before I put it on that helps. I would repurchase if I do not find a cheaper product with decent reviews.

   So so so pretty on us pale English Roses. I blend a little with their Clementine Blusher on nights out if I want a deeper, rosy glow with a hint of shimmer. I’m only on a tester pot and a little goes so far as the pigment is so strong. Love love love it.

   This is a great colour and a really subtle shade. Usually with bronzer I have to be careful not to apply too much and to build it gradually, but Waikiki is very subtle and I’ve never had to be careful applying it!

   I use a darker/warmer bronze on my cheeks, and then use Waikiki to sweep up on my cheek bones and perhaps warm my nose, forehead and chin slightly.

   Now this is a great colour for those gals that never get a sunburn, but almost never tan either. (Or maybe that´s just me?)

   Waikiki is somewhat speckled, which adds a more natural hue to the skin. The bronzer also works as a blush.

   This is a thrifty purchase. A little goes a long way. Too much product on the brush results in a very, very, brown-tanned face.

   Wakiki bronzer is lovely, so fine and I use such a small amount to give a sheen on my cheeks and a little goes a long way, don’t overload the brush ( and I wouldn’t recommend using the sponge for this one) I have pale reddish skin with yellow undertone and it is lovely, my friends one of whom paler and the other medium skin shade ( both in my age range) love it too, It is a sheen effect, no sparkle and I love it . Oh the lily lolo is site easy to order from too.

   I am nearly finished with my sample, I really like it. I’ll probably get a full-size when it gets closer to summer. It looks natural on me, but I only apply a little bit. I find that it looks quite much like the color I tan, which is not much at all, just a touch of golden to the skin. I think it also has some pink in it, at least its a kind of skin-tone color with some gold in it. And with the little shimmer in it, it doubles as a highlighter for summer.

   I am a great devotee of the Lily Lolo range, so I thought I’d sample their bronzer for pale complexions despite the fact that I have never yet managed to find a bronzer that doesn’t make me look orange.

   The sample size is extremely generous and well worth the 0.99 pence it costs. I have enough powder in my sample to last me several weeks, if not months, as a tiny amount is plenty per application. The positives first: Waikiki is a relatively sheer, shimmery bronzer which leaves a pretty sheen on the surface of your skin without making you look disco sparkly. The pigmentation is not as matte and dense as that of many other bronzers on the market, which is important if you’re as pale as I am. The colour also did not fade at all on me throughout the day.

   Negatives: Despite its relative sheerness, there is an odd, reddish-brick coloured undertone to this bronzer shade that is quite unflattering on my skin. Under some light it comes up looking muddy orange, despite a very light hand with the application. Even more disappointingly, this bronzer actually makes me look more washed out than a normal blusher would–it simply didn’t suit me. If you’re pale, by all means sample, but don’t buy full size right off the bat.
