Our top 5 bronzers work great on all skin types, have rich formulas but different consistencies but promise to give you a goddess-like glow with sculpted cheekbones!
Guidelines to use :
Let’s talk about the basics –
Use the number 2 as a guide to apply your bronzer from the forehead temples and going down the jawline on both sides of your face.
You can go down the sides of the nose to make it look thinner and add a slight dusting of the product on the tip for a sun-kissed effect.

Difference Between Contour and Bronzer
POWDERS:
1. The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer
I picked this bronzer not just because of the beautiful glow that it leaves behind but also because I know how difficult it can be to pick out your shade when you’re trying out a new product.
I love matte bronzers because they can be used for both contouring and bronzing and this particular one is so pigmented it stays put all day!
To get that fresh-off-the-beach glow, This matte bronzer gives you a very natural, sun-kissed skin without orange undertones.
It can also be used as the perfect contour powder, neutral brow-filler, and eyeshadow.
It has a slight shimmer in it that is warm-toned so you can easily use it to warm up your foundation which is too light for your skin and you can even skip blush, and highlight because this bronzer does it all!
The product is Free from parabens and talc also it is cruelty-free.
2. SUGAR Contour De Force Mini Bronzer
Can we begin by talking about just how simple yet classy the packaging of this product is?
The mini travel size comes, with a great price point so I think it’s a great first bronzer, to begin with, if you’re new to using this product. That way you invest less, there is less wastage of product and you still get a fabulous bronzer that can absolutely pack a bunch!
It comes in two different shades Taupe Topper is a Cool-toned Brown, Gray Undertone, and Woody Wonder is Warm Brown.
What I love the most is that this bronzer feels super silky to the touch which makes blending an absolute dream.
The product is Sheer, matte and light in texture, To add that instant bronzed glow, you only need a small amount to warm the skin.
Blush, highlight, and contouring palettes are an absolute steal because you get multiple products at the price of just one so I wanted to throw this one into the mix and show you just how versatile product is and how much you can get out of this at such a good price.
It has 8 good-sized pans that hold both r cool and warm skin tones contours, setting powders, and even a highlighting shade that looks amazing on different skin tones!
All of these shades can also be used as eyeshadows as well because of how intensely pigmented they are! So grab your brushes and start experimenting!
CREAMS:
1. Nykaa SKIN Genius Foundation Stick
Another incredibly travel-friendly and affordable product is this cream contour stick by Nykaa! I highly recommend starting with creams especially if you’re a beginner just diving into the world of contouring because of how easy these sticks are to use, their amazing blend-ability, and absolutely natural finish!
This formula is also very long wearing and crease-proof so you don’t need to set it with a powder on top either
Just swipe on the product in the areas you wish to warm up and use either your fingertip or a damp sponge to blend it in and get rid of the harsh edges! This product is part of Nykaa’s foundation range and is a shade for deeper skin tones, so I’m super impressed with the number of shades they stock in this range.

LIQUIDS:
1.L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer

I use a shade one tone lighter than my skin tone to highlight the center of my face and go in with the shade coffee on the outer perimeters to contour and bronze!
