I have recently bought myself the Charlotte tilbury cream bronzer - it’s a really big one and I’m not sure I’ll ever use it up because I rarely wear makeup these days but it’s gorgeous, really blends beautifully and isn’t sort of glittery which I have found with bronzers in the past and puts me off a bit. I don’t really want shimmer in my makeup but this isn’t shimmery. Looks very natural.
Although I need to get a better brush for applying it - the one I’ve got is rubbish 😂

FrenchOnionSuper · 10/01/2023 23:32

Do you know exactly what one or is do they only do one cream one ?

Yes the CT cream bronzer is great (comes in a number of shades - I have the lightest), but I think the CT Bronze & Glow powder is even better - it’s more neutral for me

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/01/2023 01:27

Nars Laguna which I also use as eyeshadow as well as bronzer.

extrasushiplease · 11/01/2023 03:58

Tarte Park Ave. Princess is just so natural and easy to use.

Rina66 · 11/01/2023 04:40

Charlotte Tilbury or the Chanel cream gel one in a pot, Les Beiges. I use the CT one if I'm wearing foundation and the Chanel one if I'm not.

BumBumBumBumBum · 11/01/2023 07:39

The Nars cream bronzers are excellent but they do run quite dark, even the lightest shade is a bit too dark for me and I'm medium skin toned.

ChamberLink · 11/01/2023 07:47

I'm currently using a Bobbi Brown powder bronzer & a cream blusher & I really like them.
Thinking of getting Chanel when these run out.
I love the cream blusher as I can use it on my lips too.

Sparkletastic · 11/01/2023 07:50

Charlotte Tilbury powder bronzer.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 11/01/2023 07:52

The nars cream bronzer. I’m very pale and have the lightest shade. It’s scary when you first put it on but dab sparingly and blend blend blend. It gives a really nice subtle colour then

Fluffycloudland77 · 11/01/2023 07:54

Face powder but in a shade for darker skins. I hate glitter they put it in so many bronzers.

amidsummernightsdream · 11/01/2023 07:54

Second the bobbi brown bronzer (in golden light) for me. Very easy to wear everyday.

i tried the georgio armani luminous silk this weekend and it was devine! Although very pricey so decided to leave it (and now cant stop thinking about it.) It was beautifully luminous and glowy, so maybe not an everyday one for me but felt very special.

I’m using the Hourglass ambient lighting palette and I’m slightly underwhelmed; I preferred the Charlotte Tilbury (how mad does she look in the tv adverts though?!)

TheChosenTwo · 11/01/2023 08:02

I’ve been underwhelmed by pretty much everything I’ve ever bought from Hourglass @LizzoBorden ! I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not for skin like mine (well, that and they seem renowned for their non inclusivity aside from the palettes that launched at Christmas with a choice of shade ranges). The one thing I loved was their tubing mascara but I’ve moved on now!

troppibambini6 · 11/01/2023 08:13

Chanel les beiges. It lasts me a year using it every day. It's not sparkly and you can really build the colour.

Jackiewoo · 11/01/2023 08:14

another vote for Chanel les beiges.

Charlotte Tilbury or the Chanel cream gel one in a pot, Les Beiges. I use the CT one if I'm wearing foundation and the Chanel one if I'm not.

Ditto!! These two are the holy grail.

MaverickGooseGoose · 11/01/2023 08:32

Benefit Hoola Glow

IfOnlyTheyMeantIt · 11/01/2023 08:40

I keep going back to Benefit hula. It doesn't have any kind of shimmer so is very natural and easy to wear.

VanillaSpiceCandle · 11/01/2023 08:49

Too Faced Milk Chocolate is the best powder bronzer I think. But I’ve never tried a cream bronzer.

CM283648 · 11/01/2023 09:09

Elizabeth Arden and Benefit Hoola are good.

SillyDoriswithaDangler · 11/01/2023 09:13

I have so many but the best by a mile is hourglass nude bronze light. It’s gorgeous and every time I put it on it reminds my why I love it. It’s expensive but lasts so long.

boboshmobo · 11/01/2023 09:15

I use a rimmel one . The lightest and I find it a lovely colour . I've used it for years . It's only £5 so worth a try maybe .

justasking111 · 11/01/2023 09:19

Peggy Sage one. BUT the right brush is more important and tap it out on your hand to remove excess
