The Best Bronzers for All Skin Tones

Here at Slapp we’re obsessed with bronzer. A simple swipe can immediately turn sallow, dull skin (hello, British winter) into a healthy glow, not to mention defining the face, adding warmth and a lit from within radiance. But with so many on the market, which are the best?
From powders, creams and sticks, we’ve narrowed it down to the products you need to know about now.
In 2017 Rihanna was determined to create a beauty line that was inclusive to everyone, and she did not disappoint. From beginning with foundations and concealers with a 40 shade range, Rihanna’s lead the way for inclusivity in beauty and has since moved on to blushers, highlighters, bronzers and everything in between. Enter the Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Skinstick - a non creasing, non-caking cream-to-powder bronzer in 20 different shades.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Bronzer
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer, is one for those makeup magpies that love shiny, gold packaging (hi there) and a highly luxurious product to boot. It comes in 4 different shades – Fair, Tan, Medium and Deep, and you get a real sense of Charlotte’s taste and glamour in this bronzer – it is decadently huge and will sit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Being Charlotte Tilbury, she didn’t stop there – she added in the wonder ingredient hyaluronic acid, to give a blurring, soft focus effect with a beautiful matte finish. We’re in love.
Prefer creams instead? We’ve got you covered with the Huda Beauty Tantour Bronzer. Sweat resistant and water resistant, this little beauty doubles as both a contour and a bronzer, perfect for on the go and for warmer temperatures. It comes in 5 shades, starting with Fair, a honey shade best for very light complexions, to Rich, a deep mahogany for very deep complexions; with Light, Medium and Tan shades in between. A little goes a long way – lightly layer for a defined contour, or build up for a more bronzed look.
If you’re looking for an all over bronzed glow for face or body, then you need the D-Bronzi Antipollution Drops by Drunk Elephant in your life. Apply a couple of drops to your favourite serum, oil or moisturiser to create a beautiful glow, whilst also resting in the knowledge that you’re helping protect your skin from environmental stressors. This makeup-skincare hybrid contains Vitamins D and F and botanical seed oils to help provide antioxidant protection.
Can we just take a moment for this packaging? This oh so chic GUCCI Poudre De Beauté Éclat Soleil powder will look stunning in your makeup bag or to casually take out from your handbag on the go – especially as it comes with this adorable brush. Silky soft and with a GUCCI embossed logo, this is a bronzer we won’t be without this summer.
