I don't have any bronzer recommendations but for highlighter the NYX Illuminators (the powder ones, not the liquid) are fantastic, they're not glittery or chunky and give a beautiful glow (:

The Physician formula bronzers and highlighters are literally the best I have tried, however I know they can be a bit expensive despite being drugstore.

I really like the Australis contour kit, it's a great price, and you get contour and bronzer shades, and a really nice highlight (which isn't too glittery or intense, it gives a nice glow).

The essence highlighters are apparently really nice too (and SUPER cheap)

Physician's formula highlighters. LA Girl also has a fantastic highlighter range with their Strobelite powders.

I recommend trying the Wet N Wild Illuminator Palette for a Creme Contour. The new highlighters by Milani (Strobelight Glow Powders) are literally the best you can get in the drugstore now! I have swatches on my IG page. They aren't powdery or dusty, and they provide a gorgeous wash of color. They're very pigmented but not in such a way that will make you look like a clown or a bright light from afar. Just stunning! I have to disagree with the Physicians Formula recommendations, and I'm surprised to see the comments recommending them. Of course, everything works differently for each person, but PF is typically rated the worst, especially their highlighters. They don't have much pigment and can be rather frustrating, at least all the ones I've tried were. I think there's one new one that people seem to like a little better. Be sure to purchase from a store that allows returns.

I have physician formula butter bronze. it does have a smell not really coconut maybe tanning lotion type smell, not bad but it is strong. I also like wet n wild contouring palette. most bronzers turn orange on me but these two are good.

NYX has a great contour/ highlight palette that is very reasonably priced. I prefer the powder to the cream. Sonia Kashuk has a nice cream bronzer- some say it's a dupe for Soleil Tan de Chanel. Rimmel has great powder bronzers- I like that they have multiple shades.
