I noticed that application went well with my fingers, a brush, and a sponge. I always prefer a brush in any case ( I’m a brush lover for every type of product, lol), but it’s good to know that if you’re more of a sponge or fingers type of gal, you don’t have to worry about application either. Longevity I wouldn’t say it’s completely water-resistant, as in, I wouldn’t recommend swimming with it, but it can handle humid weather, sweating, or some rain for sure. When it comes to choosing the right bronzer your skin tone definitely matters,” explains James. “It's important not to go too dark when selecting your bronzer,” he says.

She has been wearing and experimenting with bronzers for years, and has personally tried every product on this list. Alyssa has been a commerce writer at Byrdie since 2022, where she covers all things beauty. 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.

Take into consideration your undertone—this could be cool, warm, or neutral,” says Ono. “To figure out your undertone, look at your veins on your arm: if they are blueish, you have a cool undertone; if they are more green, you’re warmer; and if you can’t really determine which shade you are, you’re more likely a neutral undertone,” she says. While it's not for the makeup user who's looking for a no-makeup makeup (or sheer) bronzer with a dewy finish, it's the perfect choice for anyone on the hunt for a pigmented cream formula that lasts on the skin. Not to mention, it comes in an awesome shade selection that ranges in depth and undertone, so everyone can find a color that suits their complexion.

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. Powder bronzers can provide a more matte finish, or a slight glow if it contains some shimmer (like the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer)," says Bass. "Cream bronzers tend to provide more of a dewy finish and work really well on drier skin. Layering a powder over cream is a great way [to achieve] ultimate staying power."

Deeper Skin Tones : “Look for chocolate or espresso shades with warm or blue undertones,” recommends James.Shade Range: Bronzer comes in a variety of shades designed to give different complexions a sun-kissed glow. Your skin tone will determine what type of undertone looks most natural on your skin. Bronzer undertones vary from yellow to golden and red, and looking for a formula that comes in several shades is the best way to ensure you find one that suits you. The Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer comes in an impressive selection of colors and undertones. The Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Cream Bronzer is a great alternative and comes with a “build-in” brush as well – which is even more convenient for people on the go.

And the formula has a matte finish, a must for Ono, who prefers to keep her bronzer and contour shimmer-free (but can layer highlighter on top, if desired) to prevent looking too shiny. 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.
