My Favorite Bronzers
I'm a girly that likes to have a glow.
I use it on my face but also on my body. Here are my honest reviews and I've tried so many!
This is amazing. Inexpensive and has a beautiful tone. This is the deep bronze. It is available in medium, ultra deep bronze
Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Body Mousse
Skinny Tan. I use this white spray bottle of Skinny Tan. It isn't very dark but it's spray which is hard to find in a good bronzer. Some days I just don't want to get bronzer all over my hands so I use this.
Skinny Tan
I love Btan for my face. I put 2 drops in my hand and then put my lotion on my hand too. It keeps it from being too splotchy. The only thing that gives it a 9/10 is the tiny bronzer smell but when I add my lotion the sleep isn't noticeable.
that next level bronze... bronzing glow drops | b.tan
This "blush" bronzer is nice because it's more subtle and has a lovely glow. This is what you want if you just a hint of a glow.
Airbrush Bronzer – Medium - Charlotte Tilbury
My 16 year old turned me on to this. It just like a beautiful, sheer touch of glow. A tiny drop goes a long way' 10/10
D-Bronzi™ Bronzing Face drops
I use the Milk Stick in "Baked" for defining. It's a good way to define your neck and cheekbones.
MILK MAKEUP Matte Cream Bronzer Stick
If you are ok with spending a little more ($65) you have to get this Gucci Bronzer. Not only is the formula magnificent, the packaging is chefs kiss! I want it just for the packaging
03, Poudre De Beauté Éclat Soleil Powder - Gucci
I love all colors of this Glossier Cloud Paint but the Golden Bronze is what I use to add a very light glow. Like for winter, or just a sheer extra kiss of color. I also use it on my lips
Glossier Cloud Paint
I've tried so many. This one is the best!
Cheek-Hugging Bronzer Brush 190
I have this one for summer when my face gets dry and may already be tan but I want a glow. It's very hydrating
Sunny Serum
Get a mitt so your hands won't stain. This is my favorite brand. Their bronzers are good too.
Tanning Applicator Mitt
Things to Never Buy!
This will turn your hair orange. Don’t do it. It’s not temporary
Sun-In Spray-In Hair Lightener, 4.7 fl oz
The smell disappoints me and it's too "thin"
Bain de Soleil
Wear sun protection outside
The best I've ever used. Not the best smell of course. If you don't care about scent it's #1
ShadeDrops SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
If you know you know. The fragrance cannot replicated (vacation is close). I spray or lotion it on sometimes for fragrance only. I love it
Coppertone: Homepage
It smells SO good and the formula is more advanced than the Coppertone. they have a new whipped one that's fun! They also sell a perfume that I will be adding to my favorite scents. I just discovered it
Vacation® The World's Best-Smelling Sunscreen
I've been slathering this on since the 80's when we never worn sunscreen. Now they put a little sunscreen in it but I doubt it is still great for your skin. But it's soooo fun to use and you will smell like a covomut
