Best Bronzer: Bronzers from NYC.

When hitting up the drugstore, be sure to check out the great selection of bronzers from New York Color. I was impressed by the selection and the range of powders.

They are all pretty silky to the touch and impart a nice warm color to the skin.  To use, brush on with your favorite blush or powder brush where the sun would naturally kiss your skin.  Use a bit of a heavier hand on your forehead, nose, and chin to make it look natural.

Here are three of the bronzers from the line.

Sun to Sun Bronzing Powder

Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder

Color Wheel Mosiac Face Powder

These drugstore bronzers range in price from $2.99 - $4.99.

Best Bronzer: Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder.

If you are looking for a loose powder bronzer to use all over skin, look no further than Tarte's Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finish Powder ($28.00) in Bronze.

This loose powder bronzer glides on evenly and imparts a healthy, natural warmth to my skin as I brush it on. As it bronzes, my pores, lines and wrinkles seem to almost disappear as skin appears airbrushed.

The secret to this powder may just be the intuitive and skin smart Amazonian clay, though. As it is nature's most perfect ingredient, it acts as a total skin balancer by reducing dryness and flakiness, improving clarity and texture, and removing surface oil to mattify skin for a soft and flawless lit-from-within finish; all while replenishing and rehydrating skin. And making it looked beautiful and bronzed to boot.

Best Bronzer: GlowFusion Intuitive Active Bronzer

Fusion Beauty's products, particularly those of Glow Fusion, always perplex me. There is just so much science behind their products, that I sometimes wonder - is it hype? Or are these so called "revolutionary" products really different?

Fusion Beauty's GlowFusion Intuitive Active Bronzer is formulated with their M-Tox - a special blend of naturally derived ingredients that hinder muscle movement.  M-Tox. Is it the naturally derived alternative to Botox? Well, that should be a post in itself, so excuse my question.

"This featherweight pressed bronzer creates a gorgeous glow while softly restoring your youthful lit-from-within radiance. Invisiskin delivers additional antioxidant botanicals including rice bran and honey extract into the skin and keeps skin hydrated and protected for up to 24 hours, while a soft focus effect imparts a creamy texture and diffuses light to soften imperfections. It targets the expression lines while inhibiting muscle contractions to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenates your youthful radiance while protecting your skin from free radicals that expedite premature aging."

This bronzer is also supposed to look different on everyone, as it intuitively compliments everyone's skin tone differently. I agree with this as it is a sheer bronzer that will definitely look different on all.  The pigment is thee, but it is more of a wash of pigment. It looks very nice on my skin and does last throughout the day. I have been using Luminous, which imparts a natural, sun kissed bronzed look to my skin. It also comes in Golden and Sunshine.

GlowFusion Bronzer sells for $39.00 and is available at Sephora.
