Looking to add a bit of colour to my face. What bronzers do you love?

What's the budget? And how would you describe your complexion?

It's definitely bronzer season and I'm loving it 😁

Chanel Les Beiges bronzing cream-gel is The One. It’s so easy to apply/blend and looks amazing. Bit pricey but the pot lasts for absolutely ages.

I don't mind paying a fair bit as I have some vouchers to use up.
I am quite fair, but I tan easy as I lived on the equator for 17 years. As soon as the sun comes out I go darker, but would still like to glow in a bronze way 😉

In that case I would go with the Chanel Les beiges bronzing cream for a dewy look.

Or the Charlotte Tilbury beautiful sunkissed glow which makes my skin look lovely!

I am very, very fair (Irish skin) but I love a fake tan as I go red then back white in the sun haha. They are my go too 🙂

The benefit hoola is a better budget option, doesn't look great on everyone though. You can get mini versions in boots which I recommend first just to see if you like it on your skin before buying a full size product.

The Chanel one is great to apply but does come up orangey. So check what undertone you have as you might want something a bit more greyish.

e.l.f do a few pots that are easy to apply and quite sheer so difficult to get wrong. They have warm and cool shades.

Benefit Hoola is great if you want something in powder rather than cream formula and also matte. Too many bronzers are glittery.

oooohhhhh, thx so much. Just treated myself to the Chanel bronzer.

I have the Elf pot bronzer that's quite nice and is buildable. Like PP said they have warm and cool shades.

Bare Minerals loose faux tan powder is also nice. I wasn't convinced when the person at the counter showed me as it looks quite dark, but it's really nice and subtle.

My holy grail is Huda Beauty cream bronzer.
