The Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer is a popular bronzer and for good reason! It has a smooth, luxurious feel and it’s very easy to apply to the skin. I find that the butter bronzers have the absolute best formulas. The finish of this product is not flat matte – it has a healthy skin-like finish. The color payoff is also great and it blends well with other products.
The Milani Silky Matte Bronzing Powder is an excellent choice for fair skin and lighter skin tones. The shade “02 Sun Kissed” is a light cool-toned shade that compliments very pale complexions. The powder itself has great color payoff, has a silky texture, and it’s buildable.
The e.l.f. Primer Infused Bronzer in the shade “Forever Sunkissed” has a silky matte finish but the neutral warm undertone is to be noted here! It’s really gorgeous. If cool toned bronzers tend to look too gray or muddy on you, this is a good bronzer to try. It’s very natural and healthy looking and easy to blend.
The Wet ‘n Wild Color Icon Bronzer is an excellent bronzer that has natural glow finish to it to give you that perfect beach glow. It’s easy to blend and super flattering on all skin types.
I usually prefer to use a bronzer that has a satin-matte finish, but the Makeup Revolution Bronzer Reloaded is absolutely gorgeous! If you want to create a healthy glow and bronze at the same time, you’ll love this baked bronzer. The colors are really creamy and healthy looking, without making you look like disco balls.
Between all of my cream bronzers (including my high end ones), I always want to reach for the Physicians Formula Sculpting Bronzer first. The formula is incredibly creamy and blendable, and it’s so easy to work with. The best part of this bronzer is little bit goes a long way, but it will always blend out perfectly. I would totally recommend this one for dry skin.
The e.l.f. Putty Bronzer is another amazing cream bronzer option. It’s creamy, blendable, and has a few different shades in the line to work with different skin tones and undertones. My favorite way to use this product is to dip in with a smaller synthetic brush and buff into the skin. Best of all, this is one of the most affordable drugstore cream bronzers at $6.00!
The Essence Sun Club Matt Bronzing Powder comes in two shades, and the lighter shade will work super well for very pale skin tones and blondes. If the Milani one on this list doesn’t work well for you, give the Essence one a try! The darker shade in this works better for me, but I don’t think it would work for darker skin tones.
The Maybelline City Bronzer is a natural satin-matte powder that comes in 3 shades for light, medium, and deep skin tones. This is a gorgeous bronzer and I love that it comes in different colors based on skin tones!
