If you have been around here for some time, I am sure that you will know that I adore bronzer. If I had to pick my favourite makeup item, it would probably in fact be bronzers. I can have all of my makeup on, with the exception of bronzer and it feels very bizarre. The minute that I apply whatever bronzer I am using at that moment, the whole look comes together.
For that reason, I wanted to round up my go to bronzers and share them with you today. I will have probably reviewed all of these items before and gushed about them. But they seriously deserve another minute in the spotlight. I will let you know the list of bronzers that I am loving, along with some of the reasons why they are my current favourites.
MAC Darkest Deep Mineralise Skin Finish.
When speaking about bronzers, I have always mentioned that MAC Give Me Sun is my all time favourite. To this day, it is probably my most used bronzer. However, last year I gave into the hype, and I picked up the MAC Darkest Deep Mineralise Skin Finish. Within an instant, it became my favourite bronzer of all time. It blends in like a dream. The shade of it is wonderful for people with medium/tan skintone. However, for me, the difference between this and Give Me Sun is that this doesn’t pull as orange in tone. I will never quit on this amazing bronzing powder.
Â
Benefit Hoola Caramel.
I put off buying this Benefit Hoola Caramel bronzer for many years. The reason behind it is petty, but at the same time I feel justified. For many years, the original Hoola was the only bronzer that Benefit had in their range. People were crying out for them to add another shade to the range for people with more pigment in their skin. However, it appeared to fall on deaf ears. By the time that Hoola Caramel was released, people felt like it was too little too late. However, after finally trying it, I realised that I had been missing out. For somebody with a medium skintone like me, the colour of this Hoola Caramel bronzer is simply perfect.
Â
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer.
When this was first released, I knew that I had to pick it up. As with everything else that Charlotte Tilbury has released, this was an instant winner. For many years I used the Airbrush Finish Powder for setting and blotting all over the face. My only requirement was that this bronzer be the same texture as the face powder, and it is. When I pick up the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer on my Tom Ford Bronzer brush, you can instantly see how finely milled the product is. This allows you to get a really seamless blend when you are applying it to the face.
Â
Dior Nude Glow Bronzer.
I have always loved the Dior range of products and the bronzer is no different. I literally only wanted this because of the beautiful packaging to begin with. Very quickly I realised just how much of a wonderful bronzer this was. What I adore about this is how light this applies to the skin. Even when I am not wearing makeup, I always go in with a very small amount of this bronzer. I take this on a super soft blending brush, lightly touch over the high points of my face. That alone just adds a beautiful wash of bronzer and nothing too deep.
Â
Vieve Bronzing Powder.
The final bronzer that I am going to mention is by no means my least favourite. As you guys will probably know by now, I adore Jamie Genevieve. There are very few YouTubers that I would support, but I adore the Vieve brand. You can clearly see with these items that they are products created by a makeup artist, for people that love makeup. That certainly is the case with the Vieve bronzing powder. The pan of product has two amazing shades in, so with this you can get a great overall colour and a good chisel in the hallow of the cheekbones with the deeper.
As always, I hope that you guys enjoyed my round up of my go to bronzers. They are all amazing items. They perform wonderfully and my skin always looks so perfected and bronze afterwards. Honestly, I do recognise that I have far too many bronzers in my collection. There really is no need to own this many items. However, this is part of my job and to be honest, I just adore them. I actually have three other bronzers waiting in the wings at the moment for me to try and start wearing. You will see the reviews on those items coming soon here on my blog. As always, I would love to hear from you guys on my go to bronzers. What do you think of the selection? Do you have any bronzers in your own collection that you think I should be using?
