Now that you know which are the best bronzers to go for, here are a few points to keep in mind while buying any of them.

Things To Consider When Buying A Bronzer 

• Skin Type 

If you have normal or combination skin, go for powder bronzers as they blend well. For dry skin, cream-based or liquid bronzers are the best as they add moisture to the skin. For oily and acne-prone skin, gel or powder-based matte or shine-free bronzers are ideal as they help balance the oil and sebum on your skin.

• Skin Tone 

The key to selecting the perfect bronzer is to go for one that is one or two shades darker than your skin tone. If you have a cool undertone, opt for shades like warm peach, soft brown, and beige hues. For warm undertones, shades of golden brown are the best. For neutral undertones, natural brown shades are the best.

• Sun Protection 

Bronzers often come with sun protection. Look for ones that have SPF 30 or above to protect your skin from sun damage. An added layer of sun defense is always good for your skin.

• Staying Power 

Look for bronzers that are long-lasting and do not wear off quickly. Check the product label to find out the staying power. Additionally, you can also check user reviews to get an idea about how long the bronzer lasts on the cheeks.
