I prefer matte bronzers. I don’t want any shimmer in them if possible. Satin is fine too, but I gravitate towards matte. I’m almost done with my shimmery version of NARS Laguna and can’t wait to go out and get their matte version or go back to Tarte Princess Ave. I should branch out a little, but I’m comfortable with what I know in the bronzer realm!

The same as you, Christine; satin or semi-matte. These just look more skin-like and realistic as opposed to dry matte or shimmery formulas. While my much beloved UD Jawbone is a matte, it isn’t dry looking or too flat. But, this year I find myself using the Laura Mercier 03 Bronzer on the regular, as I haven’t been outside enough to get my usual springtime darkening up of my complexion. The LM 03 seems to be slightly satin or semi-matte applied.

I am the same way, my skin tone is medium-tan and I don’t really like blush. So if I’m using bronzer I apply it like a blush. I want it to warm up my skin and give a bit of glow but not shimmer. So I guess more of a satin-matte finish.
