Basic Bronzer Info

Ever since Jennifer Lopez's bronze tan hit the runways, Hollywood, as well as the rest of the world, has gone bronzer bananas. These days, bronzers are a secret weapon of the flawless faces of Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Jessica Biel, and many more. The ongoing craze over tanning has made both body and face bronzers a total must for every makeup artist's arsenal.

Lucky for the rest of us common dwellers, the tanning as well as make up industry has paid close attention to this trend. This means that we have effective and cost efficient bronzing options in a wide range of products.

Bronzer Lotions/Gels: These can be found in make up counters and drug stores across the country. Many long standing makeup brands have delved into the trend by offering their consumers a more permanent product. Remember that self tanners you plan to use on your face should work very gradually, so that you can build up to the color you want without looking ridiculous. You may also want to try these products on your arms before you start slapping them across your face.

Bronzer Sprays: For a smoother look, with less chance of streaking, sprays can prove very effective. The spray is important for achieving an even and natural tan in the face area. The best thing about bronzer sprays is that they can be applied to any part of your body. Spray a little bit onto a makeup sponge and dab across your cheeks. Spray up and down your legs for a quick mini-tan.

Makeup Bronzer : For a less permanent solution to your bronzed yearnings, makeup bronzers can help you play around with the look before you commit. A good cheek bronzer should always be in your makeup bag. Use it even through the colder months to look as if you've been wintering on an exotic beach.


Bronzers are more than just a fad. They help you achieve a look of youth and vibrancy without subjecting yourself to harmful sun rays. Read through reviews to find great products within any price range.
