"An effortless way to add warmth and glow"

The product

As the weather warms up, we will do just about anything to give our skin a sun-safe, sun-kissed glow. And no we don't just mean upping the bronzing factor by a little, we want lit-from-within radiance that has heads turning. 

And how do we achieve such bronze-y toned, shimmery glory? By turning once again to the Revlon Illuminance range. If you've been on the journey with us, you'll know that the Revlon Illuminance range is here to give your skin an undeniable glossy glow. And their latest launch is absolutely no exception. 

The Revlon Illuminance Bronzing Drops are the latest in the skin-loving, ingredient-first range, designed with the same ultra-lightweight, super wearable, serum-like consistency we've all been loving. All you need is a couple of drops blended into either a moisturiser or foundation or even worn alone for the perfect, sun-kissed tone. 

Much like us, our REVIEWcrew members love to head out the door for Sunday brunch without much makeup on, and they claim that these glossy drops have been perfect additions to their 'no makeup makeup' routines. 

So, all that's left to do is hear what our members had to say about these glow-drenching drops...

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the Revlon Illuminance Bronzing Drops to a panel of women aged 25 to 35 looking to get a natural, lit-from-within glow.

The lowdown

The lightweight texture: Who has time to blend and layer and blend again? We sure don't and neither do our members, which is exactly why they loved the lightweight, easy to apply, serum-like texture of these drops.

The warm, radiant tone: Is there anything worse than layering on a bronzer only to realise you're left looking rather... orange? We think not. Thankfully this glowy, glossy formula has been designed to give your skin a sun-kissed warmth, sans the sun. 

The hydrating, skin-loving ingredients: Who doesn't love to see a skin-loving ingredient make its way into your regular makeup routine? Our REVIEWcrew members sure do! That's why when they saw the nourishing inclusions of squalane and niacinamide they knew their skin was in for a hydrated, supported treat.

I’ve been using and loving the Revlon Illuminance Bronzing Drops – they’re such an effortless way to add warmth and glow to my look. The formula is lightweight and serum-like, blending seamlessly into my moisturiser for a natural sun-kissed effect. What I love most is how customisable it is - just a drop or two gives a subtle radiance, while layering builds a deeper bronzed look. Unlike some bronzing products, these drops never leave streaks or that dreaded orange cast. I ultimately love the skincare benefits included, which makes it feel more like a glow-boosting treatment than just makeup.

I'm so impressed with the Revlon Illuminance Bronzing Drops! I was unsure what to expect as on initial view of the small amount I pumped out (bottle suggests 1-2 drops), the colour looked scarily dark. However with a light silky serum texture, it mixes so easily and beautifully with moisturiser and smooths evenly over the skin. My face felt very hydrated and these bronzing drops instantly added a lovely warm glow, making my skin look radiant and healthy. The addition of niacinamide and squalene mean it is hydrating, does not feel oily or sticky. The product is so easy to apply, dispensed from a pump topped tube, and only a small amount is needed to produce a beautiful result. I found this product worked equally well in combination with make up and without - on weekends it was sufficient on its own. Just needed a bit of mascara and I walked out the door with slightly bronzed, glowing skin. A great product!

These are the best bronzing drops I have found so far. they are not too orange and provide a nice warm glow without making me look like I’ve fallen face first into a vat of fake tan. I also love how it’s shimmery but not glittery, it give me a nice little glow. The packaging as well is amazing. The pump is an amazing addition and so much easier to use. I love how lightweight it feels and it mixes so easily into moisturiser making it perfect for those no-makeup makeup days. This is probably my favourite bronzing drop yet and I’ve tried a few
