Our Favorite Powder Bronzers For Summer

Summer is coming, which means it’s the perfect time to show off a radiant, beaming complexion. Luminous skin will always be in vogue, and the best way to get the glow without extra UV exposure? Bronzer! We put together a list of our favorite powder bronzers to help you achieve sun-kissed perfection.

1. Best All-Over Glow

CLARINS BRONZING DUO SPF 15

Clarins Bronzing Duo SPF 15 pairs a lighter matte tan tint and a darker, pigmented color—with a hint of sparkle. Use each pan separately or mix them together for the ideal illuminating glow. The mineral formula absorbs beautifully into skin (and distributes a much needed dose of SPF), suitable for lighter complexions looking for a subtle flush of color.

2. The Full Package

CHANEL SOLEIL TAN DE CHANEL LUMINOUS BRONZING POWDER

When you've finished obsessing over Chanel's vanity-ready Bronzing Powder, use the varied tones to sculpt cheekbones and slim down your nose. The gradient of shades makes it easy to custom blend anything from a light dusting of color to a full on fake-baked look!

3. Ideal for Darker Skin Tones

TOPSHOP BRONZER IN GLOBAL

Darker skin can still benefit from an extra boost of pigment! Topshop’s Bronzer (we recommend the Global shade) blends seamlessly into deeper complexions and gives a healthy dose of sheen.

4. Best on a Budget

SONIA KASHUK ILLUMINATING BRONZER

Sonia Kashuk’s Illuminating Bronzer doesn’t just look cool (how rad is the faux alligator finish?), the silky texture glides on flawlessly! At $12.99, the buildable, beginner-friendly formula is a true bargain.
