I use the shade 1-Fair in the CT bronzer, simply because I'm only a shade or two up from clotted cream. It gives me a really nice colour without me looking like toast! I've had the lightest colours in some brands; Laura Mercier 01, ABH Rosewood, Nars Laguna which are too dark, so the CT one works really well.💙:-)
I also use shade 1 and it’s great for me. For reference I use shade 2 fair in the airbrush foundation and shade 1 in the powder :) This shade has eased me into using bronzer 😂
I'm thinking about buying the fair, but I would like to see it in person first, when I am able to get to a Sephora that is open. Sadly, we are not allowed to swatch anything anymore in the US.
Both bronzers look amazing, but the Gucci packaging is stunning. That is what is drawing me in, if price wasn't the issue and I had to pick between the two, I would automatically go toward the Gucci.
Gucci is now my number one chefs kiss bronzer 👌 I bought it in fair and it is just lush. Great showdown, perfect shade for you in both with choice of finishes..perfect x
Girl, I do not need to be buying a $60 bronzer but you have me thinking about it! I am a sucker for a good bronzer. My holy grail is the discontinued KVD bronzer that blends beautifully and had a bit of gold shimmer, it was perfect. That Gucci... wow.
Great video! I have shades fair and medium in the Charlotte Tilbury bronzer. I can use fair but it is a very very subtle bronzer on me which I actually don't mind. I have to be careful with medium or it can be muddy. Also the CT can make me look a little dry by the end of the day. I wish there was a shade in between fair and medium. I haven't gotten the Gucci bronzer yet. I'm thinking it is too red for me. My favorite bronzer is Marc Jacobs Tan-tastic. For reference I'll be 68 on Thursday (good heavens!), very dry mature skin with a light complexion (Shiseido refreshing foundation in Linen and Quartz mixed, TF Shade & Illuminate in Vellum 2.7). You look gorgeous!
I took a chance and ordered Gucci shade 3, very happy I love it. Then I noticed the back of compact states shade 2, so I ran and fished the invoice and box out of recycling , shade 3 on both. Somehow ended up with shade 2 , I guess. Anyway it’s beautiful and I am keeping it
I have shade 1 of the CT and that’s as bronze as I ever want to be. I’m a redhead with very fair skin. Other bronzers are always too dark or too orange.
This was so helpful, I have been debating between these! I think I’ll go for the Gucci because I like how it performs and that glow is so beautiful. In holland the price difference is ‘only’ 5€. I love the packaging of the Gucci better as well
FYI, the Amy Loves Makeup channel did a review of the CT Fair bronzer if you want to see it. She loved it and did comparison swatches to show how different it is from other brands.
Thanks for the review Charlotte!! I love my CT bronzer and for my glowy bronzer I have the Kosas bronzer which I’m totally loving so will give this one a miss!!! Plus I really don’t like fragrance in makeup or skincare!! I’m just fussy like that !! 😝💓
I have the Charlotte shade 1 and I love it-it looks like a believable tan on me and I like not having to worry about overdoing it. (I’m fair-skinned and hardly tan. I can see using this one in the winter, too.) I also have the Gucci in shade one and have to go on very lightly. It’s SO pretty and looks a bit more like a tan/burn on me bc of the red. I can see using this for slightly more glam looks and at night. I sometimes use them together-the Gucci on my cheeks and the Charlotte all over my face. Both look good as eyeshadow. But if you’re trying to choose btw the two, if you’re VERY fair-like red-hair and freckles-and want a natural look, the Gucci might be too dark, even in number 1, and the Charlotte would be great.
Charlotte, did I miss what shades you are using? I’m extremely tired so it’s highly likely. Thanks for the comparisons. If the Gucci wasn’t so red in undertone I would be all over it! I appreciate that both brands made these refillable. About time!
I prefer my chanel les beiges powder finish over the Charlotte tilbury as it has a slight luminosity, so I think I need to try the Gucci one now 😁 great review! X
I really like like the Charlotte Tilbury it blended better looked more natural, but I really like the sheen with the Guerlain! You’re eye makeup was flawless so beautifully blended! The pink really suits you! You are flawless, absolutely gorgeous! Cheers!
Wow your eye make-up 😍 Love the packaging and the glow on the Gucci side ! My bank account has suffered too much shopping online so I'll wait a little longer 🤷🏽♀️
I use the charlotte tilbury no 1 for my summer finishing powder. I love it. I wear a dior shade 2.0 foundation so I am not super light. His is a beautiful finish with a hint of color. My favorite
I never remember to use bronzer....I know! I could hear your gasp from all the way over here! I COULD say that I'm embracing my paleness....but the truth of the matter is... I just don't think of it😂😂 Give me ALL the blush though! Have a perfect day!❤
Initially, I refused to wear bronzer. I like being pale. I like matte makeup. However, I noticed my face flattened out and even with blush and a little highlighter, I still looked like a moon face. I am too inept to use contour and I heard bronzer could create some definition. A very small amount of light bronzer does wonders on adjusting that pancake face of mine. That said, I still prefer a matte bronzer to a luminous one as I fear it will only illustrate my pores and texture. Even highlighters I have to use a light hand. When you're middle aged, one can't be as glistening and dewy as someone half my age. It just looks ridiculous. I want my skin to look natural, but the best natural I can be.
I have just come across this video because I wanted a good review of the Gucci bronzer. Please can you tell me what you have on your eyes it’s so pretty ❤ I have been following you now for about 3 years and I love your work.
This is a great video I came over from a Instagram and I love the insight that you give with the two it does help to make a better informed decisions for sure… Thank you
Charlotte you’re just absolutely stunning ! You’re such a beauty ! It’s insane ~ I need to know your tanning routine .. I want the same healthy tanned skin as you ! Here in the U.K. it’s practically impossible to get a natural one 🙄😏 I have the Charlotte tilbury one and I’m obsessed ! There’s something about that bronzer it just makes me look so much better than I normally are .. it’s insane but totally true. Xx
Oh goody!!! I'm not even past 1 minute in and I'm dying of anticipation.... I have the CT in Med (LOVE) and Tan (struggling with...a bit dark??), and I just ordered the Gucci in #3 to see if it's better than the darker CT. Can't wait to see what you think.
I wear shade 1 from CT but it’s because I only want a hint of bronzer and in fair. If I want to use bronzer like most use them then it actually would be too light.
Before I got the CT bronzer, cream bronzers had been my preference for a long time because I’ve got such a heavy hand that powders always looked ridiculous. However I can pretty much go as heavy as I like with this one and it looks great. Now I’ve found my holy grail, that’s it 😀xx
Hi Charlotte! I have just discovered your chanell trough Morgan's video. I like very much your content, your background, informative videos, fresh, positive! :)
Hey lovely, I love my Charlotte Tilbury bronzer and I have so many bronzers! I have seem the Gucci one but I said after the CT I said that’s it until I use some up 😂 I’m sure it’s lovely but I only have one face 🤣🤣🤣 great review lots of love Jo xoxo
Love Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer don’t make me buy Gucci please ....I have CT one because I’m as pale as milk and it works.... When I first saw it though I was thinking no It won’t work but it does...I think I will stick with CT because the Gucci is slightly red.....Love ya girl♥️🇦🇺💋
Ooo I have the CT and find it a little patchy but that’s probably because I hate powdering, buuuuut I like that it’s matt so my natural skin comes through and I can add glow. Now I want to buy the Gucci though! Dam you haha!!! 🤍🤍🤍
I can't really help that 🤣🤣 there are lots of creators with lighter skintones than me who have reviewed the bronzers so they may be more helpful to you. I personally find it very hard to find reviews around my skintone being tan so I know its very helpful for others x
I used shade 1 as a finishing powder lol thought it was worth the until I realized it was breaking me out (cornstarch) idk why she always puts that ingredient in her pressed powders.
Ok now THIS is the comparison I needed!! I feel like I really need the Gucci, but I already have the CT and I’m so happy with it. What do you think about the CT up against the Chantecaille? Based on your review I prefer to stick with CT.
I got the medium shade in CT... I’m pretty fair but even I thought I couldn’t pull off the 1st fair shade! However I just can’t get it to work, no pigment, wonder if I’m using it wrong or got a dud one?? 😩
I like the Charlotte Tilbury one better, I don’t mind it being mat, the color is perfect, I think Gucci is a little too red. Hands down for me Charlotte Tilbury. Good video.
Great to know! I didn't mention self tan or teenagers at any point! I was referring to the reviews of fair/light creators that I've watched (who don't self tan either) x
@@CharlotteHoldcroft I didn't say you did refer to either I was just pointing out that there is a place for this shade in my personal experience. I thought the whole point of feedback is to share knowledge to enhance everyones chance of buying a product right for them. Sorry if this offended you
I wasn't offended at all lovely! As i said, that's great to know, i was just confused by the self tan reference as i didn't mention self tan and didn't know what that was referring to x

Packaging is glorious!! X
I've seen some very fair people use shade 1 and they seem to like it a lot because it's not too orange.

Thank you lovely! X

Oh damn now I really want to Gucci
Love the Charlotte tilbury all ready
I really didn't think it could be matched! X
I have shade 1 of the CT and that’s as bronze as I ever want to be. I’m a redhead with very fair skin. Other bronzers are always too dark or too orange.
Anyone else watch just to listen to Charlotte talk? Love her accent. 💕

Thank you soo much! Helped me decide. Gucci it is..

I've missed you Charlotte. I've moved and been really busy. Now trying to catch up. Still unpacking too. 😊🤩💐👏
Awww hope you're settling in well lovely!! X
Both look beautiful on you 🤗, ordering the Gucci ! Thank you for the review, came at a perfect time for me!
Both look beautiful..I have the Charlotte tilbury...love it ❤️❤️
It's beautiful!! X

She doesn’t use fake tan, she’s goes this golden just by the U.K. sun! She looks fab doesn’t she x
Aww thank you!! My skintone is natural lovely x
Charlotte Holdcroft 0h wow ! I would never think so but you’re so lucky ! 🧡
Oh goody!!! I'm not even past 1 minute in and I'm dying of anticipation.... I have the CT in Med (LOVE) and Tan (struggling with...a bit dark??), and I just ordered the Gucci in #3 to see if it's better than the darker CT. Can't wait to see what you think.
Thanks so much for the side by side💜
Am I actually first...? 🤔🙈 Two beautiful bronzer packagings and also they perform great! Thanks for the video!
🥰🥰🥰 thank you lovely, yes totally agree packaging is amazing for both of the bronzers x
I love the shade 1. And I’m an NC25. I use a cream contour and then the CT to bronze/warm up. It’s my fav and I’ve hit pan!
Amy Loves Makeup uses the fair one and loves it. I sent it back as although I am super pale it didn’t look like it would have much impact on me
Thanks for sharing!!
Not everyone is tan or have a fake tan esp during fall and winter. So yes there are people who have fair light skin that use shade 1 from CT.
I wear shade 1 from CT but it’s because I only want a hint of bronzer and in fair. If I want to use bronzer like most use them then it actually would be too light.
Before I got the CT bronzer, cream bronzers had been my preference for a long time because I’ve got such a heavy hand that powders always looked ridiculous. However I can pretty much go as heavy as I like with this one and it looks great. Now I’ve found my holy grail, that’s it 😀xx
Enjoyed the video. I'm one of those using the lightest shade of CT.
Both of them look beautiful on you
I beg you to do a tutorial of your eye look. I’m stunned.
Its essentially the same look that I did in my review x
Hi Charlotte! I have just discovered your chanell trough Morgan's video. I like very much your content, your background, informative videos, fresh, positive! :)
The Gucci is (unfortunately) calling me. Not saying the CT isn't great, it's just the sheen, without sparkle, is so pretty. 💗💗
Yes i know what you mean! X
While the Gucci is too red (for my personal taste) the glow it gives is stunning.
Love all of the detail you out into your reviews - thank you! 😊
Have a fantastic weekend!
Tammy Roy🇨🇦
Hey lovely, I love my Charlotte Tilbury bronzer and I have so many bronzers! I have seem the Gucci one but I said after the CT I said that’s it until I use some up 😂 I’m sure it’s lovely but I only have one face 🤣🤣🤣 great review lots of love Jo xoxo
Love Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer don’t make me buy Gucci please ....I have CT one because I’m as pale as milk and it works.... When I first saw it though I was thinking no It won’t work but it does...I think I will stick with CT because the Gucci is slightly red.....Love ya girl♥️🇦🇺💋
Even though this is a bronzer review I can’t stop looking at your eyes. That Devine Rose is calling me. XO
Awww thank you!! X
Excellent job. Thank you very much!
Ooo I have the CT and find it a little patchy but that’s probably because I hate powdering, buuuuut I like that it’s matt so my natural skin comes through and I can add glow.
Now I want to buy the Gucci though! Dam you haha!!! 🤍🤍🤍
It define applies far better over set foundation x
Wish that you could have compared Gucci 01 Shade
I use shade 1 in the CT and it works great, but I'm super pale.
Thanks so much for sharing!! X
Your such a pretty girl and I love your videos. But because your so tanned it’s hard to see if I would be too pale for the bronzers.
I can't really help that 🤣🤣 there are lots of creators with lighter skintones than me who have reviewed the bronzers so they may be more helpful to you. I personally find it very hard to find reviews around my skintone being tan so I know its very helpful for others x
Charlotte Holdcroft I wish I could tan like you, I just burn. Love your UA-cam though. You do some great product reviews xxx
What brush did you use to apply the bronzer xx
Sonia G face pro x
I used shade 1 as a finishing powder lol thought it was worth the until I realized it was breaking me out (cornstarch) idk why she always puts that ingredient in her pressed powders.
Loving the CT more. 😍
great comparisons and demo!
Thank you! X
Ok now THIS is the comparison I needed!! I feel like I really need the Gucci, but I already have the CT and I’m so happy with it. What do you think about the CT up against the Chantecaille? Based on your review I prefer to stick with CT.
I don't have any Chantecaille bronzers x
Have you seen the new Burberry blush/higlighters quarts..?
They are stunning. 😀
Hugs from Stine from Denmark 🇩🇰 🌹 🌺 🥰
Thankyou so much! Its really helpful😘
Your so welcome xx
I have both the CT in Medium and Tan and love them both. Gucci in my Sephora cart but so decided on which shade to get. Two or three. ?????
I don’t own any CT. I’ve been looking at her website. It’s a hard decision. Lol. Not sure what to try first. 😂🤯
Ok so this video made me want both!! 😂
I like the Gucci more 😍😍😍
I got the medium shade in CT... I’m pretty fair but even I thought I couldn’t pull off the 1st fair shade! However I just can’t get it to work, no pigment, wonder if I’m using it wrong or got a dud one?? 😩
I like the Charlotte Tilbury one better, I don’t mind it being mat, the color is perfect, I think Gucci is a little too red. Hands down for me Charlotte Tilbury. Good video.
Obviously they have other shades with different undertones but I get redder toned when I'm in the sun so that's the most natural for me! X
What brush did you use to use the bronzers. I ant believe your colour to your skin is natural tan and not fake tan I honestly thought you tanned xx
Sonia G face pro! i get that a lot....🙈🙈
Charlotte, do you know if the Gucci pressed powder in similar packaging was a special limited edition?
They don't seem to clearly declare availability I'm afraid! X
Thanks. IF you compare CT with the MJ tantastic - any thoughts? 💕
MJ is far lighter x
Charlotte without her mascara on is like “who is she?..” 🤷🏻♀️👁👁🧐😂
Totally!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Gucci has a brush under the bronzer, it can be opened 💋
Yeh i don't use it at all, threw it straight out lol x
what bronzer brush do you use?
Sonia G face pro x
My daughter is very fair and shade 1 is perfect for her skin tone to warm up her complexion. Not every teenager self tans!
Great to know! I didn't mention self tan or teenagers at any point! I was referring to the reviews of fair/light creators that I've watched (who don't self tan either) x
