The Best Bronzing Powders on the Market
Don’t you just love the feeling of being tan and having people comment on it? The truth is that a tanned face is very flattering and it also makes me look prettier and boosts my self-esteem.
The downside is that you can’t be eternally tanned; in fact, I can’t and I don’t want to. I can’t because of time, or simply because I don’t live in an eternal summer. I don’t want to because of the harmful effects the sun has on my skin in the long term, both aesthetically and health-wise. But you know what? The solution is quite simple. Finding good bronzing powder.
Yes, it’s like magic powder, this bronzer achieves the effect you’re looking for without needing to spend long hours in the service of the sun god Lorenzo.
A few simple applications are enough to get the tone you’re looking for on your skin. However, you have to choose them well and above all, choose a good one. That’s why today we’re going to review the 5 best bronzing powders we’ve found.
Guerlain Terracotta Sun Trio
Not only are these my favorite, but I’m sure more than one has already chosen them as their revered sun powder. It consists of a trio of three shades, so that in just a moment you can capture the effect of the sun on your face.
What I like most about this makeup is the matte and super natural finish it gives to the skin. If you like people asking if you’ve been in the sun, like me, I assure you that using this trio of powders you’ll get tired of them thinking you’re back from a Caribbean vacation.
The scent is something that drives me crazy. And it’s not just that it smells great, it’s one of those scents that transports you, that makes you feel better.
You may think I’m exaggerating, but I love how it smells and how it helps me escape. Orange blossom, vanilla, and tonka bean are some of the ingredients that make this fragrance so special.
Its matte finish makes the tan look very real, and the blend of the three tones in the palette achieves a finish that lasts for quite a few hours.
Furthermore, it doesn’t dry out the complexion, which is greatly appreciated, allowing you to wear them all day effectively and most importantly, comfortably.
L’Oreal Glam Bronze La Terra
And when we talk about bronzing powders, we can’t forget about a star brand in makeup products, and it’s not surprising that L’Oreal has something to say in this regard.
This product is ideal for fair skin and ensures that you find the natural tan tone throughout the year. In fact, when you apply it, you can achieve the same effect as if you were exposed to the sun for 2 weeks.
It’s important that you choose the right skin tone you want, as they only have one shade, so if you choose incorrectly you won’t achieve the desired effect. Although it is true that the trio we talked about before is perhaps safer to find the perfect tone, it is also true that you can achieve an adequate tone with this product.
L’Oreal’s sun powders are available in two colors and one of the things I like most is their fine and velvety texture, which leaves your complexion extremely soft. A real delight.
We recommend that, when choosing a shade, don’t be ambitious and want to be the tannest in the office. If you choose a shade much above your skin color, it will be noticeable and look quite artificial.
The best thing is to choose the closest to your skin tone and apply several layers until you increase the color intensity on your face. If you need help, you can always go to a professional for advice.
DiorSkin Mineral Nude Bronze
Christian Dior brings us number 3 on this list of sun powders, a makeup that has little to envy its companions, and which, as its own house calls them, are the powders of the “good face” effect.
Dior has developed this product to bring luminosity to our face, so that in addition to staying tanned, we also have that light that many days we miss.
For this, it uses a blend enriched with minerals that, with all golden and pink tones, achieve that good face effect.
Another thing the brand claims is that, its formula not only gives you that natural tan you so desire, but it will also be beneficial and care for your skin from external aggressions such as those produced by pollution or weather conditions.
In addition, they are enriched with vitamins and trace elements, allowing your complexion to breathe.
While it is true that the effect is natural and I am sure that my skin is not affected by harmful agents thanks to the protection that Dior gives us, it is also true that its texture is somewhat denser than other powders of the same style, which is a bit heavier. Personally, I prefer to opt for a lighter one.
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess
Estee Lauder’s were one of the first powders I tried and the truth is that I liked several things about them. To begin with, their matte finish provides just the right amount of light to the face and achieves a uniform and quite real tan, which was the first claim that hooked me.
They have 4 shades to choose from, so we’ll have to pick the one that best suits our skin type. Remember not to choose a shade above your natural color because it will look very forced.
This makeup also has no scent, which is a relief for some people, and the truth is that they don’t smell like anything at all.
They are suitable for all skin types and do not contain oil, which will ensure that the texture is not greasy at all and you’ll even forget you’re wearing the powder.
The downside is that they are a bit expensive, and although it’s true that they are quite good, the price-quality ratio, honestly, is a bit too high for me.
Bourjois Délice De Poudre Bronzing Powder
We come to the last place with Délice de Poudré. A bronzing powder that unifies the skin and achieves a light tanning effect, ideal for fairer skins.
Another thing I like is that it leaves a light golden hue, but without glitter.
This product achieves an even tone and an iridescent touch, thanks to the pearlescent particles it includes. Its scent is reminiscent of chocolate, which is a hit, as I suppose there will be few people who do not like this smell.
The downside is that the golden tone makes it a bit more superficial, in my opinion. And although it achieves a pretty color, the truth is that I prefer a more natural tone for my everyday look.
