    What the gurus are saying

    This bronzer's cooler, more neutral tone sets it apart from typical warm bronzers, making it softer and more natural-looking on skin. Reviewers warm it on the back of their hand before applying with a fluffy brush to sculpt and define the face, focusing on the hollows and hairline for a shaped warmth rather than heavy colour. The formula blends easily and works well for those who prefer a less intensely bronzy result.

    "For underpainting I mix the Rare Beauty Bright Side cream bronzer with the Mario shaping stick in fair because I just like the colors of these together. A stick version works best for underpainting."

    FINALLY TRYING THIS NEW MAKEUP...
    "I tried out the Rare Beauty powder the other day and in that video I was reminded of how good these Rare Beauty Contour sticks are, so I wanted to wear this again. I think it's Bright Side, yeah I like the shade Bright Side. I'm going to warm this up on the back of my hand and then I'm going to apply this all around the face just to sculpt the cheeks and warm up the complexion a bit. You can see how nice that dewy glowy gel is coming through underneath the foundation, it looks so pretty."

    "The bronzer stick in the shade Bright Side is one of my favorite shades just because it's a little bit more cool toned. I'm warming that up on the back of my hand and then picking it up on a fluffier but still defined brush to warm and sculpt the face with this. It keeps quite a bit of the shape and warmth to the outside of the face."

    "I use the Rare Beauty cream bronzer in Bright Side, drawing a three on each side of my face and blending it in. It adds some definition and contour plus a little warmth, and I like these cream formulas because they work well with the dewiness I build with my skincare."

    "This is the Rare Beauty bronzer in Bright Side. I'm going right under my cheekbones here. It also, as you see, I was getting a little washed out if I don't add something back into my face."

    "For my bronzer, I'm using the Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick in Bright Side. This isn't like the warmest bronzer, it's slightly more neutral for my skin, but it's kind of like how it looks, it's not like so bronzy because it's just a little softer, everything is a little bit more soft, a little bit more natural, a little bit more like on the neutral side. I'm going to focus the forehead and the temple area first so right here up to the hairline just to add a little definition to the side of the face."

    "This is new. This is in the shade Sunlaze, which is the one shade up from the fairest, which I'm confused by. I think they probably sent it to me because the one that was a shade lighter looked really pink. It's got a lot more of a yellowy orange to it, whereas this is like ever so slightly more neutral."
