There are a lot (and we mean a lot) of bronzers to choose from, many of which claim to be the best bronzers on the market. So which ones are actually worth investing in?

Plant-Based Pigments: More and more brands are using plant-based pigments to color their bronzers. These pigments, derived from fruits, vegetables, and other botanical sources, not only provide beautiful, natural color but also deliver skin-nourishing benefits.The best natural bronzers are crafted from natural minerals, nourishing plant butters and oils, and yummy fruit pigments. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to find an organic bronzers made from cocoa powder, coffee grounds, natural iron oxide minerals, and dark berry pigments. Natural bronzers can also include a range of other ingredients such as anti-inflammatory aloe vera, antioxidant rich green tea, carrot seed oil, and pomegranate oil, and even collagen-boosting vitamin C (8, 9). Bronzers are often used by people who want to achieve a sun-kissed look without tanning their skin. This can be achieved through using bronzer on top of foundation, or by mixing it with foundation. L'Oréal consistently delivers some of the best drugstore makeup on the market, and they did a great job with this powder bronzer. It comes in eight shades which is truly outstanding (and rare) for a drugstore option. It features a smooth formula that's easy to blend, and of course, it's pretty affordable compared to others we've researched. The powder has a very fine, soft consistency which makes it easy to apply and build up to your desired color payoff, which we think makes it a great option for bronzer beginners. Pressed Powder & Loose Powder Natural Bronzers – Powder bronzers are usually crafted from natural earth minerals such as iron oxides + ultramarines, mica, titanium dioxide, and silica. These earth minerals are responsible for the pigments, opaqueness, and shimmer of natural bronzers. Many of these pigments are mined directly from the earth and/or decontaminated/synthesized in a laboratory to remove naturally occurring harmful heavy metals. For oily, acne-prone, combination, or normal skin, powders tend to be best as they keep any excess oil at bay.

Do you use a bronzer every day? Do you use bronzers mostly in the summer months? Bronzers are great to add an instant healthy-looking tan and glow to your skin. According to dermatologists, ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol, and peptides may all boost your skin's anti-aging abilities, so those are a bonus to find in any cosmetic product. Additionally, a bronzer that contains ingredients that hydrate, such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin, will not only keep skin in better shape while you're wearing it, it'll help prevent your makeup from looking overly dry on your face.

Cream Bronzers: Similar to liquid bronzers, cream bronzers are a combination of potent botanicals and natural pigments. Cream bronzers get their butter-like consistency from various waxes ( such as beeswax or candelilla wax ) and luscious plant butters ( such as cocoa and shea butter ) added to the formulation. Now for the most important part: placement. As legendary make-up artist Gucci Westman explains, 'you don't want to go into the nose or below the cheek. When applying bronzer I focus on the upper half of the face. Blend it so it finishes naturally on your cheeks, or you’ll struggle to fade the colour out.'

But with so many bronzers on the shelves, how do you know which one to choose? Select the wrong shade, and you might end up more terracotta than tanned.
