I am looking for a multi-color, multi-purpose (cheeks, eyes, chest) bronzer/highlighter  Anyone have any suggestions  I think basically every product line carries such a product...anyone have any favorites or suggestions?
I was looking at Physician's Formula...anyone have experience with this line |

| Sassyred and myself went shopping while I was in San Diego last year and we found this really gorgeous Clinique bronzer (that was just released then, so it would have been May 2005 in the USA) that had little squares of different colors - that looked really good! They were bigger chunks of color than on the Physician's Formula compacts but the texture was lovely. |

| I find that they have some good makeup products (not all) but I do stay away from their skincare. |

For years I used the one in this photo: 
It didn't have a brand name on the back and I normally bought it from salons, the last time from Las Olas Beauty in Fort Lauderdale. Right now I'm using the one by Victoria's Secret and it's just as nice. |

A problem with many of the bronzer/highlighter products if you’re seriously pale like me is that they just don’t look good. No matter how lightly you apply them, it still looks way too obvious! I found one from Prescriptives called “Pressed Leaves Powder” that is fabulous for my pale skin. It brightens up my whole face without screaming, “Fake bronzer, fake bronzer, fake bronzer!” Here’s the skinny from MUA: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemID=34493/Pressed_Powder_Leaves/Prescriptives/Blush/
Another one that gets a lot of buzz in the beauty mags, but which I haven’t personally tried, is the one from Laura Geller called “Bronze-N-Brighten.” Apparently it’s such a best-seller that QVC can’t keep it in stock! Here’s what they say about this one on MUA: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemID=34499/Bronze-N-Brighten/Laura_Geller/Bronzers/
I have used Physician Formula products in the past and liked them well enough, particularly a green correction powder compact that I used to use many years ago to counteract the ruddiness in my skin. I think most of their products are a good value for the money. I still have a brightening “mosiac” eye shadow that I bought from there line years ago which I recently passed along to my mom who promptly fell in love with it and has been bugging me to pick up the other shades for her! If you have any lingering misgivings about trying Physician’s Formula products, buy it from some place like Walgreens, CVS or Ulta, where you can return the item within 30 days if you don’t like it, no questions asked. |

Thanks for the replies 
FreeFall2: The one in the picture looks great, exactly what I was looking for 
Think I am going to go with the PF Light Bronzer It is readily available and the price is right plus I can always return it if I look like a clown |

| The Physicians Formula products look really good to me, especially the bronzing palettes, I think you have made a good choice |
