Product Information

It’s all about adding light and shade, creating shapes, and acquiring a lit-from-within radiance that looks natural. This is the perfect combination of moisture and tint, and can be used as a bronzer, blusher and highlighter depending on the shade you go for. A top tip from Amalie: she recommends dusting a sheer coat of powder bronzer on top of a cream bronzer for a longer-lasting effect. Plus, they’re easier to use than their matte bronzer counterparts, so if you’re a bronzer newbie, this guide is the best way to embark on your journey.

If your face needs a little powder to maintain your makeup, dust with a little translucent powder at the end of your makeup routine. Despite what you may believe, cream bronzers are actually very easy to apply (no, you don’t need some fancy brush to blend yours out). The kabuki-esque design has super soft bristles made from synthetic hair, and they’ve been designed to pick up just the right amount of product while always working to ensure product blends well into skin. Bronzer is best applied where the sun would naturally hit your face, touching the high points of your forehead, nose, chin and the tops of your cheekbones,” says Jesse. The balm flatters skin with a delicate glisten; it’s not designed to give you chiselled cheekbones but instead to impart all-over radiance.The best bronzers elevate a sallow complexion while imparting a sun-kissed glow to the face, décolletage, arms and even legs – and on all skin tones. It’s perfect for adding all over warmth, and we loved using it with a large fluffy brush in circular motions over the cheeks and forehead. It has a classic tapered shape and super-soft bristles, making it one of my favorites if I just need to apply my makeup and run out the door without too much thought. Alternatively, you can layer on a few swipes of product for more medium coverage to look like you just got back from a tropical vacation.

It has the fluffiest synthetic bristles, and the big domed shape is great for picking up different bronzer formulas and blending them into skin. She’s created waves of gorgeous editorial looks for Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle and Glamour, and is a backstage mainstay at Fashion Week. It leaves skin luminous, can easily be applied with your fingers and is formulated with a blend of mango butter and green tea which adds a dewy finish without a greasy residue. We tried the shade travertine and found it toed the line between warm and cool undertones, so you can use it to contour cheekbones or scribble liberally onto cheeks for a more bronzed finish.

Thanks to the incredible quality and detail behind this brush, you’d have no idea it’s as affordable as it is. We considered each brush based on the feels of its bristles, its density, its handle, and its blending capabilities, and ahead, we're sharing which ones we like the most for seamless bronzer application. Although she considers herself a bronzer novice, she acknowledges that the right bronzer brush can make all the difference in application.
