What is your most-used bronzer?
I hardly reach for bronzer myself, but if I had to think about which I’ve used the most, it’d be Kosas Medium Bronzer.

Guerlain’s Terracotta Healthy Glow bronzer in 00 Light Cool. It’s perfect for my vampire pale skintone as it has pieces of cool pink blush mixed with the light neutral bronzer so it gives a natural post sunburn look.
Thanks. Might have to try that one. My ATF was too faced snow bunny, with light stripes of pink, white, taupe, and gold. Used up 2 and I NEVER hit pan on anything. Light cool may be close.
Gucci bronzing powder – shade 2 for winter and shade 5 for summer.
Laura Mercier Ritual, I really have to finish it.
For several years, it was always UD Jawbone, until it became just an outer rim and difficult to get enough on my brush. This year I began to use Huda Beauty Glowing Bronzer in Tan Light in its place. Not bad! But, not quite Jawbone, either.
So, because many YT’ers who fell in the Medium upwards into Tan had reviewed the Hourglass Tiger Face palette and said that the setting powder was too dark for them to use as such, they demonstrated using it as a bronzer instead. Tried it. Not terrible for a more hazy bronze for winter, but pretty sheer, though! Not sure how Glam Girl Chelsea, Tara Lynn and Charlotte Holdcroft are getting more on their brush, but I’m just getting a haze of bronze on mine. Perhaps I need a stiffer bristle brush?
Toss up between Benefit Hoola and Hourglass diffused bronze light!
I don’t wear bronzer often. Either theBalm Balm Desert or Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer in Light.
No I don’t use a bronzer with my very pale porcelain complexion, it would look quite unnatural. But if I did, I would go for a very subtle shade – one that wasn’t too orangey, as many of them are.
The Gucci bronzer, is my current favorite. Between the formula and the packaging I fall more in love each time I use it.
NARS cream bronzer and Becca Capri Coast
Bronzer? What is that? 😉
I have a few but never use them. I just done get bronzers to tell the truth, I suppose I just don’t like them on my skin tone. Perhaps I haven’t found the right one. Anyway I have one from Bare Minerals, that I sometime use, it’s very light and sheer so it kind of works.
I don’t use bronzer much – I can’t really get it to look very natural on me – but when I do, it’s either Too Faced Sweetie Pie Bronzer (I’ve been using it a lot lately recovering from this knee surgery business – I’m not going out much nor am I wearing much makeup but a few swishes of that stuff around my face makes me look less pale and wan) or an oldie from Clarins – Aquatic Treasures Summer Bronzing Compact – which was very much like the Guerlain bronzers with the 4 quadrants. Sadly, both of these bronzers are either LE or discontinued but considering how slowly I use bronzers, I’m in no danger of finishing either of them.
Tarte Park Avenue Princess, by far! I don’t know what it is about the shade, but it looks so good on my pale, cool toned skin! I really want to find a cream bronzer that I love as much.
ColourPop’s SOL Face & Body Bronzing Balm in Medium. Best bang for your buck, and the formula is great on my oily skin despite it being a cream product. I don’t mind the coconut scent either.
