Let's talk Bronzers!

Best Bronzers out there -

This is a good time to chat Bronzers, because at this point for most of us, our tans may be fading or have fully faded. It's a good thing there are bronzers out there to give us back that glow we may have been missing!

What is the best Bronzer? This is a tough question and when I worked at Sephora it was a popular one. In my opinion, these days there are so many good, comparable brands out there. I truly feel like most brands carry a good bronzer, however I will share with you below a few of my top picks and why.

1) Smashbox Cali Contour – You may have already guessed but one of the reasons I love this palette is because it is affordable (approx $50 CAD) and it includes a bronzer, a blush, contour colours to sculpt and lighten; and 2 highlighters. It is the perfect palette for a bronzed glow.

2) Benefit Cheek Stars Palette – This is definitely the best bang for your buck. I love that it includes a regular size hoola bronzer (worth $40), a lighter colour bronzer which is perfect as we head into winter; 2 blushes and a highlighter. These are all full size. You can get this palette for $80, where if you were to buy all of these individually it would cost $200! Hoola bronzer is also one of the best selling bronzers.

3) Marc Jacobs O!mega Bronzer – I like this one because it comes in a bigger size so you won’t have to replace it as often. It also just has 3 colours to choose from which makes things easy - Light, medium and dark. As well, it applies beautifully.

4) Fenty – The Fenty bronzer is very pigmented which I love. It is right in line pricewise compared to other bronzers. They have a matte finish to them. Fenty has a wide array of colours to suite any skin tone, which is amazing. They also now carry cream bronzers which I have my eye on;) I love the option of using creams on the face as opposed to powders to bring out that extra glow in the skin.

5) The Sephora bronzer is a great option at only $24. Sephora brand still works just as comparably but is a more affordable option. Something you may not know about the Sephora brand is that the products are made in the same facilities as other big brands. They have both luminous and matte options for bronzers.

Hopefully this helps you in determining which bronzer to go for. Whether you like to splurge on a bronzer all by itself or buy it in kit, there are so many great options out there. These are ones that I have personally tried and can recommend. As I mentioned earlier, I know there are many great options out there. If there is one you love, comment below and share with us why!
