What the gurus are saying

The shade range stands out as a strong point compared to pricier competitors, though the formula itself reads as versatile rather than essential for daily routines. One reviewer found it most useful mixed into other products, while others prefer a light hand applied solo. At the price point, those wanting flexibility and colour options without the premium cost may find it worth trying.

"I've tried the e.l.f. Bronzing Drops before, and if I remember correctly, I think I like them better because they had more of a shade range. Something can be the best quality. However, if the shade doesn't work for my deeper skin tone, then what am I going to do with that?"

After 8 Rounds of Five Below Skincare Dupes, they Need JAIL!

"I wouldn't reach for the drunk elephant at all when it comes to the Bronzing Drops. If you prefer this color anyway, and you can save yourself some money and get more product, go for the Five Below. But if you like this color better, go for the E.L.F."

"It's literally perfect to match my face to my self tan. [...] It's not splotchy, not streaky, not metallic, not glittery, doesn't look greasy or shiny, [...] adds a subtle bit of radiance without looking overly wet. [...] I also tested it under a skin tint and it works great, doesn't mess up the wear. [...] I will definitely be keeping it in my collection, I feel like this type of product has been missing for me."

"I feel like everyone's doing Bronzing Drops, and to be honest, I haven't really gone into the bronzing drop world. I own a lot and I get sent a lot in PR. This is a really nice color, though, I will say, but it's just not something I personally use often as a daily part of my routine. [...] It's kind of an interesting product to me. I think it's meant to be mixed into things, but I'm just going to use it as a little bronzing tint underneath the Supergoop."
