Collection Overview : Bronzers

Who would have thought that before this year I had never really used bronzer. I’d never even tried contouring! Now I’ve become a little bit of an addict.

MAC MSF in Comfort – Unfortunately this was limited edition as part of the In The Groove collection. it’s a slightly orangey toned matte shade with shimmery gold veining. When swirled together it leans more towards matte but with a slight sheen. 

Bourjois Delice De Poudre – The light neutral shade and medium to light pigmentation mean that this is a good idiot proof bronzer. It’s very difficult to over apply, is matte (which I prefer), and looks and smells like chocolate. The only problem is as I’ve had it for a couple of month it seems to be getting a little hard. £6.99 for 16g.

Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade in 2 Golden & Gorgeous – this is incredibly frosty so I really only use this on nights out swept over the cheeks for a golden glow. Although it’s gorgeous in the pan and the peach bronze shade is very pretty I just don’t seem to reach for it much. £4.19 for 10g.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Matte 01 – This came in a palette along with 2 blushes as part of a Christmas set. It’s a slightly warmer tone and more heavily pigmented that the Bourjois one but I adore this for contouring. It blends like a dream and adds a lovely warmth to the skin. You can buy the full sized version of this for £26 for 21g. I’m probably more likely to repurchase this than the others. 

Sleek Contour Kit (the contour side obviously)  in the shade Light – I’d been so curious about this for so long that I finally caved. It’s a totally matte slightly cooler toned brown which makes it perfect for contouring. You really do need a light hand with this. At first I thought it would be too dark for my skin but it’s actually fine as long as you blend well. The highlighter is lovely in this too but I won’t say too much as I have a full review coming up. £6.50 for 14g.

Clearly I’ve become a bit of a bronzer fiend! I plan on putting a dent in these before buying anything else but when I do I have a Dior bronzer in mine. What are your favourites? X
