"Blonzers" (Blush-bronzer hybrids)
Drugstore Bronzers
Another day, another hit from Milani! This is a beautifully creamy and pigmented bronzer that applies and blends like a dream. It settles down into a more satin/soft matte finish so it's a great option if you want to use a cream bronzer but don't wan...
Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer 120 Spilling Tea
An absolute drugstore gem! So pigmented, creamy, and blends like a dream. I use the shades Summer Fling (for contour) and Soul Mate (warm bronzer).
Australis Dewy + Daring Cream Bronzer
An absolute steal for the price! This is a great beginner bronzer with a nice amount of pigment that applies and blends so easily. The formula claims to be waterproof too which is a bonus during the summer months.
Rimmel Natural Bronzer
It's in the name! This powder bronzer is so buttery smooth and is the least powdery formula. There's an undertone in the range to suit a lot of complexions, and it has a tropical scent to it. Super easy to apply and extremely blendable. You can't rea...
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer
Cream Bronzers
One of the most skin-like cream bronzers on the market! This one mimics the skin and melts in perfectly, leaving a balmy sheen that isn't greasy or sticky. You know it's made by a makeup artist because of the perfect undertones in the shade selection...
Tanielle Jai Bronzour
A velvety formula that blends perfectly but wheeew she's PIGMENTED! This one sets down and leaves a more satin finish to the skin. It's really longwearing and can be worn sheer or built up in coverage. You can go overboard with this but the pigmentat...

Powder Bronzers
RMS really knows how to do powder products. This Hydra formula is a talc-free, longwear gel-to-powder bronzer that looks just like skin when you apply it. The bronzer looks as if you're glowing and lit from within without looking powdery or too glitt...
ReDimension Hydra Bronzer
(I know, I'm so sorry they're so expensive, but) nothing compares to the Hourglass Ambient powders. A light dusting over your face adds an indescribable, flattering, lit-from-within glow that I've never seen any other product replicate. This is one o...
Hourglass Ambient™ Lighting Palette
A viral and cult classic bronzer from the YouTube makeup days, Give Me Sun! is the staple for fake tanners who want a very warm colour for their bronzer. The formula is pigmented and so smooth, with a slight reflection (not shimmery or glittery) that...
MAC Give Me Sun!
This is an amazing blonzer or a great option if you want a touch of pink to your bronzer rather than an orange, golden or olive tone. It has a beautiful rosy undertone to it for that flattering, sunkissed effect. The powder is great for using as eyes...
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Blush Duo
Want the JLo glow? This is the highlighter for that. It has a neutral tan base with silver and gold pearls marbled throughout, so it offers a perfectly balanced yet bronzey look to your skin. I like using this one sparingly as a highlighter, bronzer ...
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder Highlighter 'Global Glow'
A bronzer for olive skin tones and those who lean more neutral. The ABH smooth powder bronzer is a matte formula with a lovely range of shades that don't lean too red, orange or warm, but rather provide a more realistic neutral tan. Think: the tone y...
If you want a sheer wash of colour that comes with a shimmery, highlighting glow, Halo Glow is for you. I love using a liquid product like this in a deeper, bronze shade to add a soft filter effect on “no makeup” days. If you're sensitive or acne-pro...
e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter
Looking for a liquid bronzer? Try a foundation skin tint in a darker, warmer shade instead! This Maybelline Skin Tint is a great formula for bronzing as it holds up really well and has a beautiful, skin-like look to it. It's not overly liquidy but bl...
Maybelline Superstay 24H Skin Tint
"Blonzers" (Blush-bronzer hybrids)
The perfect holiday travel bag blonzer! It goes on smoothly without applying too much product or being overly pigmented and creamy. It has a warmer, reddish tan tone which is great as a ‘swipe-on-and-blend’ cheek product for that sunkissed look.
Nudestix Terracotta Tan
A great little summer palette with a perfectly peachy-pink powder blush, a warm blonzer cream balm, and a rosy golden shimmering cream highlighter. If you like a peachy, toasted cheek, this trio by Morphe is perfect!
