Amazon →SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Tom Ford's Soleil Matte Bronzing Powder has a silky, blurring matte formula that several creators praise as buildable and luxurious, especially for drier skin types. However, the shade range is a consistent criticism: the lightest shade runs warm and dark, making it difficult for very fair skin to use without overdoing it. Tania B. Wells notes the formula is incredible but wishes for better color options, while Sofia Sees Beauty calls it "the best buildable bronzer" for light to deep complexions.

- “I think they're so good and you know I've heard some people saying oh it's nothing special, nothing basic. I actually think that it is special”19:52–19:57

- “Man, I fell in love. I fell in love with these so much”24:12–24:23
- “I think the formula is incredible, the way it blends, so blurring, so beautiful”24:50–24:58
- “The shades is where it's a little bit more difficult. I think shade one is a little more pigmented than shade two. Shade two is quite warm”24:56–25:02
- “If you can find a color that works for you, don't hesitate because the formula is so smooth. It is more of a matte formula, but I love that in a bronzer because you can really control where the shine goes, but it's not powdery at all. They are really, really good”
- “I like these bronzers from Tom Ford better than the old formula. So, also the packaging is beautiful. So, this is definitely a favorite”
- “I feel like every time I put them on, it just sculpts my face so nicely”26:17–26:25

Variant: Corisca
- “This is the best buildable bronzer”
- “The bronzer where you can really build up the color or sheer it out if that's something that you need to kind of customize throughout the year depending on your complexion, if you get tan”
- “This formula is very, very luxurious feeling in my opinion. It is incredibly silky. It is the most buttery out of all the ones that we're talking about in this section”20:05–20:12
- “Really great if you have a drier skin type. It just like it feels so rich and like amazingly silky to the touch”20:18–20:29
- “They also upgraded the packaging, which I think is very luxe, very beautiful”20:29–20:34
- “The biggest criticism of this bronzer is the shade range. This range does lean quite warm”
- “This lightest shade, which is called Corsica, this works for me especially because I can sheer this out, but it does have a very like warmer, peachier undertone”20:50–20:57
- “This lightest shade, it looks so dark compared to the lightest shade of some of the other ones that I'm mentioning in this video”

Variant: 02
- “It definitely has more warmth to it, but is not near as pigmented as you would think it was looking at it in the pan. Cuz I'm really having to kind of dig to get it on the brush, but that's a good thing for someone like me who has a very heavy hand”11:13–11:18
