The product itself is great, but they stopped providing a brush with the product. However, they did not change the design of the compact. I feel that without the brush, leaving a lot of open space, not allowing the powder to stay compacted as long, and breaks up sooner and more easily. if they're going to remove the brush, I wish they would've changed the design.

I've used Bronze Goddess for years and appreciated the effects of it on my face. While it is still a good product, the new compacts have lighter tint and lack the brush. The brush was well designed and made it easy to travel with the compact without packing a separate brush. Since the brush was obviously designed for the compact, it's frustrating that is is no longer included in the package.

No brush included, so i immediately chatted with a rep. Told me oh no they dont come with a brush. I said ok can i buy one because i dont see one for sale. She said Yes your search has to be very specific. Nope Estee Lauder doesn't even sell them. Moving to another brand. Very disappointed.

I bought two of these and will find another brand going forward for bronzer. I'm on my second one used a few times and same thing happened...top part with mirror breaks off. It is frustrating. For price of this the packaging is cheaply made.

I ordered the Medium and it is too light. Not like the color displayed online. The compact is also missing the brush. My prior order from a few years back, included a brush. Seems like including a small brush should be part of the compact and an easy way to keep your customers happy.

I'm extremely disappointed with my purchase. The bronzer is completely different from what was advertised and what I had before—the shade is much lighter than it should be, barely visible on the skin, and completely pointless to use. Furthermore, the set is missing a brush, even though it's pictured in the package and included one before. This is a direct discrepancy with the description and a misrepresentation of the buyer. The product was received in improper condition.

After years -- decades actually:) - of my Mother, sister and I using this BRILLIANT product, the formula has changed. Colors changed. No more brush! There was NOTHING on the market anywhere as good and I am truly crushed. It was my makeup staple!!! Please, please bring the old formula and incredible colors back. The new one is like granny's powder! Like silt! It feels dry, looks pale, flakes easily in the compact, and is terrible. I beg you, bring back the magic! The Medium is now more like the light color. And the brush, gone- I would pay extra for it, but to open the compact and nothing to apply it with feels just wrong. Do better Estee Lauder!!

I have been using the bronze goddess for years, and the first time it crumbled I thought maybe it had dropped?? Now that it has happened to my last two compacts, I know it is sadly a new formula. Quality matters. This is not what I expect from my expensive Estee Lauder, so will have to find a new brand. Do not recommend.

I have used this bronzer for 15 years and have slowly seen this product diminish in quality over time. The lid never lasts the duration of the product and now they don't include a brush. This is Estée Lauder, not a cheap drug store brand. Estée Lauder, you need to be better. If you choose to remain with this diminishing quality, you should Lower your price and start selling your price in the make up section of discount stores as that's where it belongs with this level of quality. Soooo disappointing to see what Estée Lauder has turned into. Submitted on Nov 22, 2025 02:51 AM by Not Impressed!! from Canada

Excellent ingredients, the formula is so smooth and no shiny and the colors are stunning I love absolutely everything that Estée Lauder makes with makeup products Obviously I miss some products like the healthy glow bronzer but I cannot understand the cosmetic industry
