Face Trace Contour Stick, £44 | Westman Atelier

Formulated by world-renowned make-up artist Gucci Westman and expert chemists, Westman Atelier products bring skincare and incredible colour together. This cream bronzer has a luxurious texture which goes onto skin with ease. Trace the outer contours of your face in a figure-of-eight motion before buffing it out with a stippling brush for an all-over glow. Alternatively, pack the product on with a kabuki brush for a more intense finish.

Cream Bronzer, £32 | Anastasia Beverly Hills

With an almost balm-like texture, this product is a treat to apply. We like using our fingers to softly tap the product onto the areas in need a little bit of warmth – but you can also apply it with a brush and buff it out. With seven shades to choose from (and another on the way) there’s something for everyone to try.

Cream Luxe Bronzer, £16 | Sculpted By Aimee

Best applied into the hollows of your cheeks, this is one for those looking to sculpt their jawline and create a more contoured finish. The cooler-toned shades are best for this, while warmer tones are more appropriate for an all-over glow. The creamy soft texture doesn't dry down completely, either, leaving skin with a subtle glow.

Effortless Bronzer, £22 | Rare Beauty

This Rare Beauty bronzer is slightly lighter in tone, so you can build coverage and sculpt with ease. The rounded point also allows for more precise application. The non-greasy formula is matte and water-resistant, reducing the chance of creasing throughout the day.

Les Beiges Bronzing Cream, £43 | Chanel

This is a true cult favourite. A little bit more expensive, it’s worth it for the generously sized pot and lightweight, cream-gel texture. Velvety smooth, it blends seamlessly onto the face without clinging to dry patches or rubbing away make-up underneath. Meanwhile, added light-reflecting pigments deliver a natural glow – though you can sculpt and contour by using an angled, smaller brush to carve out the hollows of the face.

Miracle Balm in ‘Disco’, £34 | Jones Road

A ‘no make-up make-up’ holy-grail product, the ‘Disco’ shade is perfect for achieving a universally flattering glow. If you have oily skin, a little will go a long way, but the warm tone and light-reflecting pigment is great to tap onto the high points of your face for something a little extra. We love tapping it onto the bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed touch.

Nudes All Over Matte Face Colour in ‘Bondi Bae’, £28 | Nudestix

With a matte finish, this one is great for those with oilier or more textured skin. Designed to be applied directly onto the face, the product also comes equipped with a brush, so you can flip it round to blend it out.

Cream Bronzer in ‘Tan’, £18 | Refy

Refy’s cream products are some of the best. Use a large stippling brush directly in the pan to buff the product onto the outer areas of your face. The natural velvety finish isn’t too dewy and comes with the perfect undertone to create a natural-looking tint. The formulation is nourishing but also works to stop excess oil developing by 3pm.

Sun Melt Bronzer, £20 | Saie

With a seriously blendable formula, this bronzer is easy to build, so you can achieve a look entirely based on your preference. The cream blends seamlessly into other products, without turning muddy, working to enhance the health of your complexion with ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, grapeseed oil and elderberry extract.
