Our Favourite Bronzers For Radiance & Glow
Polly Newman, SheerLuxe Fashion Broadcaster
Bronze Balm, £27 | Merit
“When it comes to bronzers, I swear by cream formulas. This stick from Merit is impossible to mess up. Just a scribble along the cheekbones creates easy definition and a soft contour. I’m a huge fan of the effortless, natural finish.”

Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer, £35 | Makeup By Mario
"If you've ever been slightly wary of bronzer in the past, this will convert you. Part-bronzer, part-skin enhancer, this redefines the category with its unique, balmy-soft texture. Not only does it add dimension and realistic-looking warmth, it blurs texture and creates a beautiful, soft-focus effect."

Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer, £45 | Estée Lauder
“For a confidence-boosting glow, you can’t beat this bronzer. I love a powder and this one is so finely milled, it melts into the skin and hugs the contours of your face for seamless definition. I like that it’s semi-matte too but it doesn’t have a flat or dull finish.”

Rebecca Hull, Group Beauty Director
Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Liquid Bronzer, £22 | SAIE
“A little of this on a brush is all you need for a soft, glow-y bronze but what I like to do is mix a few drops in with my moisturiser. It gives the skin such an even, all-over glow, without the commitment of self-tan. Plus, the finish is really luminous, so skin looks so plump and fresh.”

Face Trace Contour Stick, £44 | Westman Atelier
“Just a little of this gives you glossy, expensive-looking skin. I use it both to sculpt and bring back some warmth to my skin. I love that there’s zero shimmer or glitter. The recently expanded shade range also means there is something for everyone. It is creamy enough to achieve a seamless blend but not so much so that it slides off by midday.”

Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream, £50 | Chanel
“There are bronzers that add colour, then there are bronzers which make your whole face look healthier and fresher. This Chanel one has a unique, cream-gel texture that melts so nicely into the skin and never leaves behind any streaks or muddiness. It’s the best for creating sun-kissed, polished skin. I’ve gone through more jars of it than I can count.”

Ambient Lighting Bronzer, £56 | Hourglass
“This breathes life back into a dull complexion. I love that it has brightening pigments in it too, so when you sweep it over the skin, you get a hit of bronze but also a luminosity that lifts the face.”

Luminous Silk Bronzer, £49 | Armani Beauty
“I love swirling a big, fluffy brush into this and just buffing it all over my complexion. It’s great for bringing extra warmth to the skin but it’s ideal when you want to carve out some definition too.”

Nana Acheampong, Fashion Editor & Broadcaster
Laguna Bronzing Powder, £40 | NARS
“My go-to every time, this gives my skin such a warm glow without any ashy tones. It blends so smoothly on my skin and makes my make-up look natural and smooth. I also like that I can build it up for a more glam look.”

Florence Eyres, Senior Shopping Editor
All Hours Hyperbronze Powder, £48 | YSL Beauty
“I’ve tried heaps of bronzers but always come back to this. Soft and silky, it skims the skin nicely and doesn’t leave any unwanted ashy tones behind. It’s my go-to for summer.”
