The first I have written about before and it is the the famous Hoola bronzer from benefit. This is a matte bronzer so predominantly good for contouring. I think this really works especially for pale skin because even the most heavy handed of people (me :/ ) it's difficult to go too over the top unless you literally cake it on. It's a really nice warm colour that's not orangey nor shimmery so you can create contours in your face whilst warming up your complexion so what more could you want in a bronzer! It's currently £23.50 at the benefit counter, which is not too extortionate but also not cheap, however it's something that for me is worth saving up for!
The second is another pretty famous bronzer that I definitely approve of and think it has every right to it's fame is Nars' laguna bronzer! Only a recent buy of mine because I thought I'd love it and then end up buying it for the rest of my life..and it's not cheap (£29). Alas this is what has happened, I finally caved and loved it! I could tell that it was very loved bronzer even by the Nars' stand, as it was by far the most used tester of the whole Space Nk shop. I think the reason its' so loved is because it's very universal and can be used by many different skin tones either as a contour because of it matte texture or as a bronzer to warm the skin because it blends seamlessly with my pale skin and I'm sure it would with darker skin tones as I've seen it work on my friends, some of which have skin tones are that are a fair bit darker than mine. Obviously it's not going to work for everyone but for my personally this bronzer gets a massive thumbs up just purely because of the non orangey colour, matte texture and ability to blend really well with my skin...side note, this also makes a great eye shadow :)
lastly this next one is definitely a bronzer and not a contour. It's Bobbi Brown's shimmer brink in Bronze (so I'm allowed to count it as a bronzer) for currently £29.25. This product is so good for many reasons, you can use the bronzing end with a small brush to bronze your face and make it look glowy and tanned or use the lighter highlighting end to add light and definition to your face. Another thing about this bronzer is that it can also be used as separate eye shadow colours! and they work as really good shimmery shades.. But my favourite thing about this product is that is all in one and with a big fluffy brush I can blend the shades together and create a tanned/glowing complexion with a few strokes of the brush.
Thankyou for reading about my favourite Bronzer's! I've left the swatches on my hand below (L-R Bobbi Brown shimmer brick, Nars' Laguna, Benefit's Hoola) If anyone has any suggestions of any good bronzers I haven't mentioned feel free to leave a comment.
