Bronzers | It's a Steal


Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer
We all know about this bronzer and I'm pretty sure most of us love it, too. It looks dark in the pan, but once applied gives a great natural colour. It's not as pigmented as it looks (which is a good thing in this case) but applies smoothly and effortlessly and there's no patchiness, either
(which is my number one annoyance with bad bronzers). There are only two shades, but because it's so build able and not overly pink or yellow toned it'd suit most skin types. You can apply it lightly for an overall bronzed look or build it up for contouring and shading.

The Body Shop Baked to Last Bronzer
Now that the summer is coming, I like to get a little more glowing with my skin and that means chucking aside the matte finishes and coming in with something a little more shimmery. There's a fine line between subtle shimmer and full on sparkles, but the Body Shop Baked to Last Bronzer is on the right side of the tracks. It's gentle shimmer doesn't overpower the look but keeps the dewy texture (if you're sporting a dewy foundation you want to use a dewy bronzer for continuity).

What bronzer will you be whipping out for the warmer weather?
