Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer (Always Sunny)

Product Information

Swipe onto cheekbones, forehead, and chin to build dimension and definition, then blend with fingertips, a brush, or a sponge. Unlike infamously orange bronzers of the past, current offerings come in a wide selection of formulas, shades, and undertones that complement a wide range of skin tones. But with so many options on the market, it can feel daunting to find the one that's best for you. So, we're taking the guesswork out of it and sharing our list of the very best bronzers. Cream bronzers typically offer a bit of glow as well as workable, forgiving formulas, but if you're looking for one that delivers on pigmentation and staying powder, this one from Nars does that and more. Seriously, Nars has mastered the world of bronzers. In addition to their beloved Laguna powder bronzer, the range now comes in an incredible cream formula. The creamy texture is deeply pigmented (be sure to start with a light hand), easy to blend, super long-wearing, and natural-looking on the skin. It creates an airbrushed wash of color, and we appreciate that it layers beautifully on top of foundation and with other cream and powder cheek products. RiRi’s Fenty Beauty line is known for its inclusive shade range, and this cream bronzer is no exception. “I don’t wear bronzer often, but when I do, I love a creamy formula like this,” says Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro. “I swirl my finger around the pigment and dab it right along my cheeks, and then I’ll take a wet sponge to blend it in.” Its blendable formula makes it easy to achieve a natural-looking glow, and it comes in seven shades to suit a range of skin tones. Plus, the cream-to-powder finish is perfect for those who want a matte look without any cakiness. “What I’ve noticed the most about this formula is that even on super-hot days it won’t melt off or start running down my face,” Navarro adds.

I have dry, acne-prone skin, so when it comes to makeup, I opt for products with creamy, hydrating consistencies that won't break me out. I don't wear a full face of makeup very often, and instead, I usually like to go for a "no-makeup makeup" look that relies heavily on tinted SPF and ultrashiny lip balms. I love products that can be easily added into my routine that aren't too heavy and don't leave my face looking cakey or dry. The beloved Laguna Bronzer has been iconic for decades, but it recently got even better. The brand took inspiration from its bestselling bronzer shade and expanded the line to include nine different iterations of Laguna that flatter a wide range of skin tones. The talc-free powder formula is smooth, buildable, easy to blend, and long-wearing. If you're someone with sensitive skin, you might want to avoid talc as it can be irritating and pore-clogging. And unlike a lot of totally matte bronzing powders that look flat on the skin, this one has the most subtle luminous pigments in it to give the skin a very understated glow.Our best overall winner is the Nars Laguna Talc-Free Bronzer Powder, a top-rated product that's beloved by our beauty editors and consumers for its buildable and blendable formula that gives the complexion a beautiful bronze glow. And it's now better than ever thanks to an expanded shade range. For something more affordable, consider the L'Oréal Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Bronzer which comes in an impressive shade range and easy-to-use formula. The second is that you should consider your undertone, just like you would with your { foundation} and { concealer}. Made with Rare Beauty’s Botanical Blend of lotus, gardenia, and white water lily, this formula helps soothe, calm, and nourish skin. Hoola has been popular forever for good reason—it's a basic (in the best way) bronzer that gets the job done each and every time. The powder is completely matte and shimmer-free, though it doesn't look heavy or chalky on the skin. The original shade of Hoola is already complementary on a wide range of skin tones, though we absolutely love that the brand has expanded the range with even more shades. Now, so many more people can experience the magic that is this matte bronzer. It's silky smooth, soft, blendable, and easy to build up for full-glam looks.
