For years powder bronzer has stood victorious as the most popular bronzing product and is still perfect for a light dusting of warmth, but if you’re looking to for that summertime glow even when it’s gloomy outside then cream bronzer comes up trumps. So step aside powder bronzer, it’s now time for the rise of cream bronzer for that glowing, bronzed makeup base of your dreams.
What are cream bronzers?
I just can’t get enough of cream products right now for my own makeup base, cream contour, cream blush and of course, cream bronzers! For me, they just give a much more natural finish and if like me, you’re a dry skin girl (or boy) then the added hydration they give is sometimes much needed.
If you’re not already cultivated in the wonderful world of cream bronzer, then let me give you a whistle-stop tour of the power a cream bronzer holds.
Bronzers are created to add depth and warmth to the skin to give the appearance of a sun-tan all year round. They come in multiple different formulas such as powder, liquid and cream and are the key to a flawless, sun-kissed appearance in just a few swipes.
For me, cream bronzers take the crown in the bronzing family purely for the radiance and natural appearance they give. There is nothing quite like the perfect cream bronzer to bring a makeup look to life. So sorry powder bronzer, I still love you, but cream bronzer holds my heart for the perfect natural, radiant makeup base.
