Best Bronzer: MAKE UP FOR EVER Uplight #23.

To add in a bit of highlighting and bronzing at the same time, I have been using this one from MAKE UP FOR EVER.  It is one of their recent launches called Uplight, and #23 offers the perfect blend of both a highlighter and a bronzer. 

Described as Pearly Golden Flesh, I dab this on the tops of my cheekbones and right under my eyebrows for a glowing look.

Uplight is made of more than 70% water, so it melts easily into the skin and feels fresh and light all day long. Also formulated with nourishing mango butter, it naturally illuminates the skin while adding in the moisture.

Uplight is available right now at Sephora, in store and online, for $29.00.

Best Bronzer: Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Shimmer Bronzer.

I know I have spoken about my love for a matte bronzer and how it gives off the most natural bronzed look. But that is just for when I want to use it all alone to add the bronze color to my skin and layer it underneath a blush.  When I want a beautiful bronzed look, I do look for a shimmer. One of my favorites is this Soft Shimmer Bronzer from Estée Lauder.

 

This one is called Bronze Goddess 02, but according to the website, it is the only Soft Shimmer Bronzer available.  It is a very soft golden brown color.  It is nor too golden (orange) or not too ruddy (red-brown), it is the perfect shade, like I said.  With a very subtle shimmer, this one is beautiful, especially for night.

Estée Lauder Soft Shimmer Bronzer can found at Estée Lauder counters and online at esteelauder.com.  It sells for $30.00.
