Beauty Essential: My Favorite Bronzing Powder

Aug 29, 2011 at 6:00am by Lauren Conrad

Bronzer is a touchy cosmetic–some are too brown and some are too orange, so I tend to stay in the middle. Simply put, it's super important to find the perfect balance between brown and orange for your skin tone. I prefer Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Power in #64 Desert Bronze. It's a warm shade that looks true to my skin tone and leaves a lovely natural radiance to my complexion. I always finish off my beauty routine with a few sweeps of this illuminating powder for a gorgeous glow.

You can pick up your own Chanel Moisturizing Bronzing Power for $50 at Chanel.com.

Or, for only $28 (and a similar glow a la Chanel), try Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder.

What bronzer do you use?

      I use the channel in desert bronze also, but I am afraid that as winter comes and I lose my tan it will be to warm and peachy orange on my ivory skin! Any suggestions?!?!

      I use nars laguna bronzer. I've tried many (toofaced, tarte, drugstore) but I feel Nars is the most natural.. and I can't really screw it up either :)

      For bronzer I love one from MAC called Natural Skin Finish Minerilize in the color SUN POWER is amazing I swear. I also have the Chanel Moisturizing Bronzer Powder in Desert and I agree with you Lauren, it is amazing!

      I like the bronzed and the beautiful bronzing palette from two faced, it has 3 different bronzers: snow bunny, sun bunny, and pink leopard. I use sun bunny the most, it's great for contouring!

      Sephora's Sun Disk Bronzer is my favorite. I have gone through a ton of different kinds of bronzers trying to find my favorite and this is it! It is hung and has lasted forever, and its not running out anytime soon. It is great because it doesn't give a fake look, just the all over sun kissed look that I need. It is great and affordable!
