Which bronzer is the best

So good in fact that sometimes we dust a little on to control shine and add a little extra colour later in the day. We love how finely milled this is, and that the six shades cover all skin tones.

But mainly we love the scent - that familiar, summer holiday, ylang-ylang and vanilla filled perfume. It makes applying it just that much nicer. This bronzer is that genius blend of being matte but somehow adding instant glow too. It blends beautifully, and comes in four shades.

That being said, we're were sold on the packaging alone. We love a beauty bargain, but do find high-street bronzers have a tendency to crack under the slightest bit of pressure.

This, however, stands up as well as some of its luxe lookalikes. A bit of added SPF is nice too. One of the original matte bronzers - try to find a millennial make-up fan who didn't start with this - and still one of the best.

It now comes in four shades, too. What's better than a bronzer? One that's embossed with hearts of course. Formulated with nourishing Capuacu, Cocoa Seed and Mango Seed butters and Biomimicry pigments to gently nourish skin and protect against environmental pollutants, this bronzer does it all. No bronzer works harder than this creamy, radiant wonder. Swirl it all-over to warm up your face pre-foundation, apply it with a smaller brush to contour your cheekbones, or dust it on top of your base to set and enhance.

If that's not enough to have you sold, the gigantic double-C topped jar will look great on your dresser. The cream formula is a dream on dry skin, and is so blendable you can apply it to cheeks with your fingers in the back of an Uber speaking from experience.

But for those with big ambitions, running a giant powder brush across the top of the stick means you can buff it around your hairline and across your nose — even down onto your collarbones — for maximum sun-kissed impact. Rihanna spent two years formulating her signature bronzer, ensuring there was a shade to suit all skin tones.

The result is a light-as-air matte powder that we can all get behind. A tip: apply it with this brush for killer cheekbones. Let it melt into cheeks and over eyelids for a gentle, dewy look.
