    Giorgio armani no 1 bronzer =)

  4. Alexis says:

    I have always been a fan of Benefit’s Hoola…

  5. KriStyle says:

    For me it’s Chanel Bronze Universel.

  6. chapis714 says:

    Definitely SMashbox Suntan Matte.way better than Mac…has no shimmer in it which I like and gives you a warmed natural look.

  7. Andrea says:

    well I’ve only used a couple, but I really like MAC Golden Bronzer.

  8. Sans says:

    suntan matte smashbox

  9. Andrea says:

    I use MAC Enough Said as a bronzer, but I’m generally not a fan of bronzers.

  10. Chiara says:

    Nars laguna. It’s light enough for my pale skin, applies evently and doesn’t look muddy.

  11. Buttafly says:

    I really like Clinique’s Sunkissed Bronzer, I have gotten so many compliments on my skin when I wear it and it looks so natural

  12. liana says:

    NARS LAGUNA

  13. Connie says:

    I really like MAC’s Bronzer in Refined. Next to it would be the bronzer from I Nuovi’s Facescape in Malibu Barbie

  14. amy says:

    I have recently stumbled on Tarte Park Avenue Princess bronzer and loved it. I also like MAC MSF Sunny by Nature and Global Glow.

  15. Cecilia says:

    CARGO bronzer in medium. It goes smoothly and it gives me a nice natural glow.

  16. Emma says:

    Absolut MAC´s bronzer in Golden

  17. mariepouliche says:

    Mac Bronze matte!

  18. Rebecca says:

    A new favorite for me, and a brand I’ve never used before: Laura Geller Blush-N-Brighten in Sunswept. Pink and bronze swirlled together. Looks great on my complexion. Love it.

  19. Haylie says:

    Nars Laguna. It gives the perfect bronzy color, not too orange or brown, and it has glitter that just makes your face radiant.

    I want a matte bronzer and was thinking of Mac’s Refined Golden. Is it any good?

  20. Whit says:

    Ah! This is a toughie! NARS laguna, MAC MSF in Warmed or MSF Natural in Dark.

  21. Fel says:

    Nars Casino

  22. annieclaire says:

    benefit 10 is soooo pretty.
    the instructions say not to mix the two colors but it looks best mixed.
    it’s the only bronzer i use often on my fair skin.

    • Ribbons says:

      I second this, and I mix them as well to give a lovely sheen to the bronzer. Makes it a perfect colour for pale skin as well! :)

  23. yvette says:

    One that I really don’t like is Nars Laguna – it’s muddy, hard to blend, and just not pretty. I am liking Stila’s bronzer in shade 02, and I used to use the Body Shop bronzing beads all the time. Do they still make them?

  24. steph says:

    Terracotta de Guerlain

  25. Katie says:

    Nars Irresisteblement (sp?). I like bronzers without shimmer. :) This one is perfect for light skin tones.

  26. lucinda says:

    i am a little obsessed with bronzers and try out many to find the oerfect one! I still like Benefit Hoola and i aslo like the entire guerlain terracotta range!

  27. marielouise says:

    Refined Golden it is :-)

  28. Scylent says:

    MAC in Refined

  29. Heatherette87 says:

    Last summer was my first time using bronzer. I picked up Stila Sun bronzer W/SPF 15 and I love it!! It protects and gives you such a natural glow!

  30. Kimberly says:

    Mac’s refined golden.. doesn’t hurt that mine is from style warriors and I love the animal print on it :)

  31. Mabeth says:

    Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer. It’s matte, pigmented, and smells yummy!

  32. Connie says:

    Hmm… I’ve got 3 faves! Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte, Nars Irresistiblement, and Illamasqua’s Bronzing Duo in Glint & Writhe

    NARS Laguna and MAC Golden

    MAC’s golden bronzer and Guerlain’s Blonde, both lovely for NC20:-)

    NARS Laguna! It doesn’t look orange and gives me the perfect sunkissed glow!

  43. Davina says:

    LORAC Tantalizer when I want a nice glow for an evening out, it looks very natural. The Stila bronzer in Shade 02 is great too.

  44. Rachael W says:

    Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer is my HG bronzer;
    no glitter and smells delicious!

  45. yajaira says:
