FAVOURITES: Bronzers

Hi Beautiful Readers!

Today I wanted to introduce my FAVOURITES FOR BRONZERS. I always use bronzer when applying makeup nowadays. I feel that it makes a significant difference. I believe that it really enhances features on faces, that cannot be seen without, which is why I love contouring, highlighting and such.

I have quite tanned, oily-combination skin. So there are some bronzers that are just perfect for that. 

1. NARS Casino

2. Benefit Hoola Hoola

3. Australis Bronzing Powder

First off, I am absolutely in love with the NARS Casino bronzer. When I first went to Mecca Maxima to go and get a bronzer, I was first intrigued by the NARS Laguna. Once looking at the difference between the two, I am able to see that the Casino is more suited, mostly because I am a darker complexion. The main reason why Casino is my all time favourite, and now my holy grail, is because it is so easy to blend and still very visible. Unlike some other bronzers that are harsh on my face, that don’t blend, aren’t visible and come out patchy for some reason, Casino has never let me down. I am so close to hitting pan on this bronzer, meaning I am absolutely in love!

The benefit Hoola Hoola was so highly spoken of. When I had the chance to get my hands of one, I took it. Similarly to Casino, it was easy to blend away, not too harsh and visible. 

I didn't use the brush that came along with because it didn’t feel great, so instead I use a real techniques contour brush. 

The only reason why I steered away from Hula Hula was mainly because of the physical design of the box. Don’t get me wrong, it is quite a beautiful design, but it was a bit of an inconvenience for when I was on the go and late.

Lastly, my favourite drugstore bronzer, hands down, has to be AUSTRALIS BRONZING POWDER! Now this stuff got me into learning about contour and manipulating the shape and shadows of my face. It opened NEW doors for me! This bronzer wasn’t appealing at first because the powder looked quite shimmery and glittery. But after I learnt the technique of contouring, I was able to see that the glitter isn’t to be seen on the face after a good blend. It comes out matte and identical to NARS Casino.

This bronzer does only come in one colour, but in my opinion it suits everyone from fair to dark! I have recommended this product to 4 friends with all different skin types and tones, and they all loved it and have also hit pan! This was my holy grail until I found Casino, but occasionally I still like to use it!

To all my readers out there, learn and master how to contour for your face. You honestly wont regret it, you will enhance your beautiful features!

If you have tanned skin and an oily-combination skin, my recommendation is the NARS Casino, Benefit Hula Hula and the Australis Bronzing Powder.
