Recommend a bronzer!

Kelly M., on August 15, 2016 at 2:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

So I am doing my own makeup (for various reasons, a makeup artist is not an option), and I'm pretty happy with my practice runs so far. I'm not doing any crazy contouring, but I do need a bronzer to add a little definition. Can anyone recommend a great one?

I'm adding a pic so you can see my complexion (fair and freckled!)

    I would get yourself to a Sephora where you can try on shades before you buy. That's how I usually find a new product. My current new bronzer is by Bobbi Brown and I like it. It is matte pressed powder and that is what I wanted.

    I've tried one recently that I got a sample of, Bareminerals sheer sun serum, and it was super easy to use too. It is liquid and you just put a drop on your finger and blend (I suppose you could use a brush too). i didn't think I'd like it but I do. It is very easy to start with a tiny bit and build it up if you want.

    Just go play. Ask an employee to help you try a few on. Take samples home if possible before you buy so you can test them more. Laguna by Nars is a cult classic, but there are other good products. I know a lot of people like Hoola by Benefit but I've never used it, I just know a lot of people do.

    Higher end: My favorite is Laura Gellar bronze and brighten or Hoola by Benefit

    Drugstore: Nyx Matte Bronzer is my favorite! I use this everyday! Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer is also amazing!

    Laine nailed it.

    Drug store- any of the Physician's forumla ones are good (the butter bronzer smells amazing)

    and Hoola by Benefit- I am on the fence about it- but peopel RAVE over it like it's the second coming- it might very well work for you.

    I have a Bobbi Brown one, it's matte. I prefer matte bronzers as I use them to lightly contour. I've also been eyeing Makeup Geek's contour shades.

    @Jo have you used the Laura Gellar Bronze and Brighten? My mom of all people introduced me to it before Laura Gellar was cool (she found her on QVC lol). I love the stuff!

    I'm obsessed with Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess - mostly because I'm pale 90% of the year and whenever I wear it, coworkers and friends always ask if I've been tanning
