The Bronzers Our Editors Are Loving This Summer

Makeup By Mario Softsculpt Shaping Stick + Urban Decay Beached Bronzer
Admittedly, I’m pretty high maintenance when it comes to bronzer. I feel like it’s the step that really pulls my makeup together, and I love to layer cream and powder formulas to get my desired look and wear. I’ve been loving the tone, blendability and ease of use of the Makeup By Mario cream bronzer. To top it off and ensure it lasts all day, I dust just a bit of the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer on top. It’s a powder formula that has the perfect pigmentation and a matte finish that doesn’t look flat.

NYX Professional Makeup Luminous Cheek Serum in Sienna Bronze
Being that it’s summertime, I’ve found myself reaching for more liquid products and the consistency of this is like no other. It’s made with tremella mushroom, giving my skin a boost of hydration, without feeling sticky or heavy. I love how easy it is to work with. I typically use my fingers to apply it to my cheekbones and forehead and it leaves me with a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. I haven’t put it down since I got it!

L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Bronze It Bronzer + EM Cosmetics So Soft Multi Face Play
I love experimenting with different bronzer shades and textures during the summer, especially if I’m already sporting a natural tan. Lately, I’ve been layering the EM Cosmetics So Soft Multi Face Play, a cream bronzer multi-stick, and the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Bronze It Bronzer, a shimmery bronzer powder. First, I use the multi-stick to accentuate the areas where I’m naturally tan from the sun, and then after rubbing it in, I dab a fluffy makeup brush into the powder bronzer and swipe it across my cheeks for an added hint of color and glow.

Kosas The Sun Show Bronzer in Medium
When you have a very yellow undertone like mine, it’s hard to find bronzers that don’t accentuate the yellowness. After searching high and low for a while, I discovered the Sun Show — a baked formula with a golden-reddish hue that actually neutralizes all the yellow tones in my skin. I love this bronzer because it lives up to its hype: it’s pigmented, gives a soft-diffused finish and has shea butter and meadowfoam oil for a little dew. It’s literally golden hour in a compact and I haven’t gone a summer without it!
