I have been recently looking for a new bronzer as i found the one i usually use quite matte, some people may prefer a slightly matte-r bronzer to emphasise the shadows and shapings of the contours. However, personally I find bronzers with slight shimmer pigment allow extra highlighting of the cheekbones and face structure.
I have tried to review bronzers from a range of prices, as some high street are just as good or even better then labels.
The three Bronzers i tried were: Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder
Rimmel natural bronzer
Nars Bronzing powder ( Both in Laguna and Irresistablement )
The first is the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer:
This is one of my favourite bronzers, i'm on my second pallette. Being, it not a recent discovery as its a old re-use in my make up stash. I find it gives just enough colour to contour and shadow without caking your face in mud. Its not very shimmery and is quite matte but for £6.99 its a good staple bronzer to have. However, it only lightly dusts your face so if you wanted a slightly heavier contour then apply several layers.
And it smells a bit like chocolate.
Id recommend this if you want a slightly matte-r bronzer, for more contour emphasis but only very slightly
Rating : 8 / 10
Price : £6.99 RRP ( Boots )
The second is Rimmel natural bronzer :
I am pale and very very conscious about this. When you swatch the product from the pallet, It appears alarmingly orange. I am not entirely sure why this is as it is not orange at all on the face (unless a ridiculous amount is used.) Its not as matte as the bourjois bronzer but more gentle subtle tones on the skin.The fact that its a powder also means it comes with the inbuilt benefit that its going to keep your skin makeup on for longer during a long day. Again a light contour but with slightly more shade, not cakey or heavy.
Rating : 6/10
Price : £5.49 RRP ( Boots )
Finally the Nars Bronzing powder :
Almost saving the best until last! This is my new favourite bronzer, Laguna in particular. It has really good pigmentation, it isnt too heavy on the skin and has subtle shimmers which help highlight the cheeks but not too much that you're edward cullen! The colour is very natural brown and doesnt look fake. It only needs light application but you can layer it if you wanted a heavier contour. It is slightly on the pricey side but a definite worth investment!
Rating : 9/10
Price: £27.00 ( John Lewis )
Hope these are of some use to you and help!
I am in the middle of trying new BB creams from a variety of brands so that will be up in a few days.
Hope you all have a lovely day
and Tarrah for now :)
