Tarte amazonian clay bronzer is the only bronzer i use. I find its the longest lasting, this one is waterproof and has the right undertone that doesnt pull too orange or muddy. I find it really hard to overdue this one

Smooth powder and is great for dry skin. Sets makeup but does have a glow in the powder (doesnt look like shimmer) on your skin, looks like a natural glow, great for all over the face.
