Best Bronzer: Urban Decay Baked Bronzer.

Urban Decay bronzers are of the baked variety, appropriately called Baked Bronzers.

Baked means that these powders are baked in terra-cotta pans until they achieve the perfect consistency. This one has a beautiful feel to it. It is super silky soft and blends onto skin with no streaking of pulling.  All that you get is a pretty, sunny glow. Just what I expect from a bronzer.

Baked Bronzers come in three shades; Baked, Gilded and Toasted.

This shade is Gilded, which is very golden bronze with shimmer, along with gold strewn into the formula. The result is sexy, and I love using it on my shoulders and chest for that extra special sheen.

Urban Decay Baked Bronzers sell for $26.00 each and can be purchased at Urban Decay and Sephora.

Best Bronzer: Sephora Sun Disk.

If you are a bronzing babe that either uses bronzer everyday or uses it on your body as well as your face, you have to check out this HUGE bronzer from Sephora. It is the Sephora Collection Sun Disk - and disk is becasuse of the large size. Coming in at a large 4 1/2 ", this compact contains a whole lot of bronzer to love.

Sun Disk comes in one shade, Aruba! The name is perfect, as the glow you get from this bronzer is gorgeous and golden - just like you spent a day in the hot Aruba sun.

The formula is made up of micronized pigment particles, so it goes on super smooth and streak free.

Sephora Collection Sun Disk retails for $22.00 and is available at Sephora.

Best Bronzer: BECCA Mineral Bronzing/Highlighter Duo.

I love to bronze - that is a fact.  When going out or for an extra special look, I love to add in a bit of a radiant glow too, and for that I reach for this, BECCA Mineral Bronzing/Highlighter Duo.

In one compact you get both a beautiful matte light bronze to wash cheeks in a beautiful bronze wash, while on the other side there is a highlighter that gives off a soft, radiant glow. Not only do I apply the highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones, I also apply a bit under my brows and a gentle touch of it on my chin and nose to just glow, all over.  It is soft, as in not a hard highlighter that can sometimes accent fine lines.  This one actually softens my look while making my lines look less visible, sort of out-of-focus, if you will.

This bronzer is very luxe in formula and in packaging.  It sells for $43.00 online at beccacosmetics.com, as well as others such as b-glowing.com, glow.com and dermstore.com.
