I’ve sampled many a bronzer leading up to this summer season. Here are my picks for this year!
 Urban Decay’s new "baked" bronzer in Gilded Gold is a great choice for those with fair skin, or looking to add a metallic sheen to their complexion. Coverage is streak-free, and looks beautifully natural. Retail is $24 at Sephora.com |
 If you’re looking for some serious bronzing power, tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer should be your choice for this season. "Park Avenue Princess" is a deep, dark bronze… perfect to mimic a Caribbean escape, or for use on darker complexions. And who can resist the luxe gold crocodile-stamped case, complete with gold chains! Retail price is $28 at tarte and Sephora |
 Smashbox would prefer you to not refer to Fusion Soft Lights as a "bronzer", but this amazing mosaic of 5 different bronze shades makes the skin look both tanned and radiant, earning it a slot in this list! Retail price is $30, and can be found at smashbox or Sephora.com |
 The ideal product for cheek contouring, Hourglass Blush Duo In Brazilian contains two bronze shades. Each can be used as blush, or as an all-over face color! This palette was my introduction to the Hourglass brand, and I am hooked! Hourglass Blush Duo in Brazilian retails for $58 at Sephora |
