As the temperatures slowly start to creep up this spring, getting a little color becomes a big priority. Thankfully, we can now get that color without hitting the tanning bed. Being sun savvy is incredibly important to me as a skin cancer survivor. Last spring, I pulled together a massive list of self tanners {or for the full-length pin here}. This year, I went a similar route and compiled 29 different facial bronzers in a variety of formulas and budgets. If you don't see your favorite below, be sure to leave it in the comments! I would also love your feedback on bronzers you love and loathe...
My favorite bronzer {as of late} is this one from Bobbi Brown. In my earlier days, I loved this very cost-effective one from Bonne Bell. One thing I've learned over the years is that the brush you use really does matter. I treated myself to this one with a giftcard this Christmas--and love it!

The biggest takeaway is that getting a faux glow doesn't have to be expensive. Being healthy is the most important. Using a bronzer with an SPF is the best plan. Your face will thank you when you're 60, I promise. I can't wait to hear your feedback on this bronzer debate :) xoxo {av}
I love using Sephora bronzer. But it can get expensive really quick. lol

ReplyDeleteI don't really faux tan or tan in the sun. For me, it is not important to look tan. I do like having a bit of a warm glow. I use the Sephora highlighting compact powder in golden for that. You should have a look at it!

ReplyDeleteAll about NARS! It seems to be on a different level in terms of going on smoothly and looking totally natural. Love it!

I love my MAC bronzer! Looking at all these makes me want to branch out a little though :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Clinique bronzer! It's one of my makeup staples :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Jergens or Neutrogena gradual tan lotions. They give you a little bit of color without turning you orange. I usually don't use much, though, because the color doesn't look right on me. Red heads and tans don't mix! :D
ReplyDeleteMy dad is a skin cancer survivor, so I always am an advocate for self-tanners as well! My favorite is the Loreal Sublime Bronze gel!
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I need. My skin is pretty fair and I like to have a tan - but usually I can't get one and I don't like being too exposed to the sun anyway.
ReplyDeletemy girls and I swear by the MAI Couture blotting papers - both the bronzer and the highlighter papers are fool proof and are great for travel. I've used the Guerlain Terracotta bronzer for YEARS and love it.
ReplyDeleteI love Benefit's Hoola bronzing powder that can be found at Sephora. It's smooth & light! But this makes me want to try others ones now... :)
ReplyDeletei have the bobbi brown one you featured on the very bottom- absolutely my favorite bronzer!
ReplyDeleteI've been bronzer crazy lately because I'm SO pale! I love the Bobbi Brown bronzer, it's my favorite too! Great picks all around!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great list! I love the Bobbi Brown bronzer but always want to try something different. I thought about you when I talked my girlfriend out of going to a tanning bed for an upcoming wedding! I told her to go get a spray tan! Not worth it!!
ReplyDeleteBobbi Brown bronzer is my favorite, too! And I love the shimmer brick as well! :)

this is fabulous!! i have used the bobbi brown style in the past-- and lately have switched to a BB cream with SPF AND bronzer!! :) love that you have been sharing your experiences-- so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a new bronzer! Such great suggestions, thank you, thank you! Do you have a special way of sweeping it on?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bronzer is the Bare Essentials bronzer in Warmth. It's really dark, so it's best for people with medium-dark skin tone. It gives such a beautiful sun-kissed color!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check out Rodan and Fields Foaming Sunless Tanner :) Must have!!

Thanks! I've officially banned myself from the sun this summer, so I'm looking for new products to get my tan on. I would absolutely agree with Chelsea above - I just tried the Rodan and Fields Foaming Sunless Tanner for my sister's wedding and it was amazing!! Everyone thought it was a real tan!
