Bronzers are a great way to bring a bit of that natural-looking golden glow to your cheeks – to create a gorgeous contour -, neck and even your entire body without exposing yourself to the damaging sun radiation or frustrating self-tanning sessions.
You need to choose your bronzer shade wisely, since it needs to match your skin tone in order to get that great, healthy tanned look. Also, depending on your skin type, you can consider the multitude of textures, choosing from powdery and creamy to mousse and bronzer tanning lotions to get a beautiful, natural glowing skin.
Best Bronzer for Fair Skin
For fair skin, the best bronzer shades are those with a hint of peach or shimmering honey to them. Consider the light Mineral Wear talc-free correcting bronzer from Physicians Formula which will bring a bit of glowing warmth to your pale complexion. Get a fresh, natural glowing look with Vapour Organic Beauty: the brand’s Solar Translucent Bronzer in pale gold Mirage is one of the best bronzers for fair skin. If you want to stay true to your pale complexion, while adding a sun-kissed touch to your cheeks, then CARGO Bronzing Powder in the light shade is just right for you.
Best Bronzer for Olive Skin
Olive skin needs a bit more color, so deep rose to coppery and dark tanned are the best bronzers for olive skin. Try the face and body bronzer from Vincent Longo La Riviera Sun in their Copper Kiss shade, for a long lasting glow, or Lancome’s Star Bronzer for a touch of shimmer. Another product considered by many the best bronzer for olive skin is Mini Tantalizer Baked Bronzer by LORAC: it has a deep rose hue will beautifully contour your features.
