With summer on the horizon, we’re all for bronzed and glowing makeup right now.
So aside from upping our fake tan schedules to accomodate the wardrobe change, we’re also looking to swap our matte bronzers for illuminating ones (unless your sweat provides the perfect sheen – we get that too).
Combining the best of highlighters and bronzers, illuminating bronzers give you a luminosity regular bronzers just can’t, so we put together 10 of our favourites.

Unfortunately I don't use Bronzers I am sure that the Younger Beauties will have much to say about such products.
I love the look of the Hourglass Bronzer but not in my budget.
I’ve got an Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer, and it really is gorgeous. But my absolute favourite and most used bronzer is Too Faced Sweetie Pie.
So many great products there.
I have quite a yellow tone to my skin, so I'm not sure if bronzers will suit me. I would be happy to use bronzer if I could find the right shade for my skin tone
My skin glows to the moon and because of melasma strategically placed evenly in the areas where ones uses bronzers…I have permanent glowy bronzer on. Want it off though. Do not like bronzed look at all!
Perfect for summer
I don't use bronzer, it always looks muddy on me, I like using contour to define my face
I dont mind a little shimmer. I have a great mix of bronzers some with shimmer and some without
From the cute video (love the 22 seconds!) I am loving the wearing of the bronzer on the eyelids – looks so good!
Love bronzer! If it has a matte texture with no shimmer I tend to use it as a contour product under my cheekbones but if it has a little finely milled subtle shimmer (like in the Clinique one that I love) I tend to use it as a bronzer across my cheeks, forehead etc. It still looks natural if the shimmer is 'perfected' and not at the illumination level.
Its always great to use a bit of shimmer glow in the summer
Not a fan of bronzers. It interferes with my 'Aging but Still Trying Goth' look. I do have the RAWW bronzer that I mainly use as eyeshadow.
I never use bronzer anymore haven't seen I was in my early 20's I don't think!
I love these, these are beautiful and so lovely.
Some beautiful looking products, but I don't use a bronzer.
I don't use bronzer but if I did Mecca would be my pick of these
None , didn't use any bronzer for ages.
I have the Hourglass bronzer, I got it as part of a limited edition compact and am yet to use it. I have the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess (GWP) and use it as a contour as I am not really a fan of a tan look. (It makes a great contour btw).
I have started using my bronzer as a contoured. Looks great. I even had a compliment from someone I don't know saying my skin looked good. I said it's makeup. She was surprised and said 'well it looks natural'.
love a good bronzer
*Aging but Still Trying Goth' look
Haha! I can relate to that, Frenchy!
I don't do bronzer either, Margi.
Had a body shop bronzer years ago but don't use them anymore.
I am not a fan of them.
I am not a bronzer fan and don't own any but if it is ever going to be will be with shimmer
I’ve got a Natio bronzer that I’ve had for years. I didn’t really like the results but it was probably my technique or it’s just too dark for my skin. I’ve been using it as an eyeshadow. I like the looks of the too faced, the loreal, the MCoBeauty and the bourjois though
The packaging and look of the Hourglass bronzer looks so luxurious, I love it!
I have to be so careful, my pale skin can look so overdone even with just one extra brush stroke
I’ve never felt confident using a bronzer.
The Chantecaille looks lovely, but there is only one in my book. Guerlain Terracotta is THE best and comes in different shades to suit different skin tones. Being pale like I am, the light shade suits me without looking muddy and it’s so luxe. They do the Meteorite version that has a bit of shimmery illuminating pearls too.
Loving the looks of the sun imprint on the Bourjois product there!
I haven’t tried any of these ones but the Estée Lauder one look amazing!
I love bronzer but prefer a matte one rather than shimmery.
I rarely do bronzer but when I do, it needs to be subtle. I can't do like those youtubers that make it look obvious like a side burn.
I tried bronzers in the past, then again recently, same result…. My face just looked dirty!
Lovely shades.
Yes it is wonderful! You should give it a try next time you are at the counter
I love my bronzer ! I use the el bronzed goddess most days! Love haha
Gorgeous bronzers, loving the range. Would like to try the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Powder.
I love this post, I've kept a few of these bronzers on my mind now on my shopping list. But I must admit the hourglass and the becca which I'm wanting to try are hella expensive.
I'm just not into bronzers for my pale skin.
Bronzer is always something I forget to use.
I haven't tried any of these but the Hourglass bronzer looks gorgeous!
Even though I don't use bronzer, the Too Faced one smells divine… I cheat and get my chocolate fix from the eye palettes instead 😉
Hello everyone, my name is Dawn from California. I am here to share this great testimony for a great work Dr Marabul have done for my family. I’m so happy that my broken Marriage has been restored. “We recently made up, even though it was difficult.

The nightmare that had lasted for almost 2 years before we broke up is finally over. It’s like we fall in love all over again! We’ve both put the past behind us, and are trying to move forward – and for the first time in a long time, the future looks a lot brighter. I can’t express in words how grateful I am ever since Dr Marabul bring my home back together again! It’s like we’ve finally rediscovered those things about each other that made us fall in love in the first place. All of the worrying and stress has simply vanished. Thank you Dr Marabul for saving my broken Marriage and brought my husband back to me!”. Me and my husband are living together happily again..
