Gucci$65- “This is truly one of the best luxury products on the market, bronzer or otherwise”▶ 3:15

- “It's just really stunningly longwearing”▶ 3:34
- “This is an incredibly unique shade and I think that that is part of the lore of this product, but at the end of the day, the formula just actually stands up to the shade”▶ 3:39

- “Since this has been in my life, it has been a top recommendation for all of my drugstore videos, this is the bronzer that I always go back to over and over”▶ 6:15
The Bronzershade · Light Tan- “It's just a more neutral leaning rosy tan”▶ 7:00
- “I like the way that this emulates that”▶ 7:19
- “It's quite pigmented and yet it is very blendable as well”
- “I do think this is like it feels like a more pigmented version of the Makeup by Mario powder bronzers”
- “I just think this is a really, really well thought out product”▶ 6:52
SOSHE Beauty$28Blurring Pillow Blushshade · Olive Drift- “This is a true olive bronze”▶ 9:08

SOSHE Beauty$28Blurring Pillow Blushshade · Bronze Linen
SOSHE Beauty$28Blurring Pillow Blushshade · Speakeasy- “This is the most stunning bronzer ever”

- “So, it has quite a bit of brown to it and it definitely has that like mauve color”▶ 10:50
- “If you haven't tried this formula, it's very soft. It's more plushy and creamy, but then it goes down onto the skin in this more matte powder finish, which I really enjoy”▶ 11:07
- “It just sets down on the skin so beautifully, but it gives you the ease of that powder”▶ 11:19
- “I am a huge huge fan of this new launch from SOSHE Beauty. They absolutely killed it with this one”▶ 11:31
MAKEUP BY MARIO$34.00SoftSculpt® Shaping Stickshade · Light- “These are matte. These lock in”▶ 12:13
- “I used these on my sister and her wedding day actually. And the reason being is that they are creamy, but wherever you place them, they just stay put”▶ 12:20
- “The shades in my opinion are so gorgeous. They tend to lean towards a sculpt rather than a true orangey ambery bronze, which I really enjoy personally”▶ 12:27
- “You can see when it applies, it doesn't want to go choppy and muddy. It just wants to like really sculpt out the skin. It's a very perfecting kind of product”▶ 13:03

MAKEUP BY MARIO$38.00SoftSculpt Blurring Bronzershade · Light Medium
Rhode$25.00Pocket Bronzershade · Pebble- “It's quite pink. It's very very rosy, but it's also very saturated and super pigmented and it's not a lighter pink”▶ 15:24
- “If you personally find that you look better with a pink that's a little stronger, I think Pebble could actually be a really good bet for you”▶ 15:44
- “If you are very cool toned with really not a lot of color to your skin, I think it runs the risk of just being a bit too dark”▶ 15:56
Rhode$25.00Pocket Bronzershade · Sip
Rhode$25.00Pocket Bronzershade · Sunbed- “The shade Sunbed, I think, leans slightly more neutral, but again, it is on the deeper side as far as what I can pull off”▶ 16:28
- “When I wear that kind of sheerly, it looks really nice”▶ 16:35

- “I think the shade Sand from Summer Fridays is just a better shade for me personally”
- “I like that this goes down to a more natural finish”▶ 17:56

- “I was actually really surprised with the way that it lasted on my skin, too”▶ 18:07
- “It's not going to be like a 10-hour wear product, but it also blended really easily”▶ 18:10
- “I feel like it has a nice balance of lasting a bit, but also being really easy to get on”▶ 18:16
e.l.f. Cosmetics$7.00Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contourshade · 2 Fair Light Cool- “To me, it's just this really soft, blendable, flattering kind of beige with a little bit of pink to it”▶ 18:34

- “The formula in and of itself is fantastic”▶ 19:04
- “I personally think that it is one of the best formulas at the drugstore”▶ 19:08

Soft Glam Cream Bronzershade · Fair
Ciele$36.00Shade & Protect SPF 45+ Powder Bronzershade · SPF 45 / Cabo- “This does have a really really subtle kind of glimmer to it. It's not shimmer. It's not even really luminosity or I would have put it in the luminous category, but it just kind of gives it a satiny life on the skin”▶ 20:46
- “A really lovely beige bronzed olive color”▶ 21:10
- “So, if you enjoy a little bit more olive in your bronzer, I think that this is going to be a hit”

- “This is a very unique shade”▶ 21:32
- “Really, it's going to be good for all skin types. So, this is kind of a crowd-pleaser in my opinion”▶ 21:40
Essence$5.99Soft Touch Butter Bronzershade · 10 whipped buttercup- “This smells very very strongly of coconut. So, if you do not like that, this is a pass”▶ 22:04
- “This is a really nice shade, you guys. I was really impressed with this shade”▶ 22:31
- “It's kind of just like this light muted caramel shade. It's quite light in actual depth”▶ 22:33
- “But I can just see some of you that want warmth without going really warm would really enjoy this one”▶ 22:43
- “It has this really nice kind of satiny finish to it. It's not really matte and again not super luminous. Just looks really natural on the skin”▶ 22:49
- “This is some of the cheapest packaging I've ever experienced. But if you do not care about that and you just want a good formula, something to maybe even like just like throw into your purse, yeah, I think that this is a good one”
- “Definitely more of a subtle bronze on me, but I really enjoy that”▶ 23:14
Westman Atelier$58.00Sun Tone Hydrating Matte Bronzing Dropsshade · Parfait 01- “This is definitely more of a pinky kind of bronze. It's just a very soft kind of muted rosy brown”▶ 23:43
- “I really enjoy this one”
- “I think specifically for mature skin. If you feel like no matter the bronzer that you choose, your skin just kind of looks dull, but you want that bronzed glow back to your skin, I have a feeling something like this could come in handy because it's very liquidy and light”
- “It kind of brings that luminosity back to your skin and that glow”▶ 24:11
- “I think it would mess with heavier makeup. So, if you wear foundation or BB creams or whatever with more coverage, I feel like this would dilute the coverage a little bit. So, keep that in mind”▶ 24:16
- “I think this is better for like underpainting or even just for people that don't like a lot of makeup”▶ 24:27
Westman Atelier$91.00Face Trace Cream Contour Stickshade · Biscuit- “I think that they're solid, but I don't think that they are like the absolute homerun best bronzer”▶ 24:55
- “One thing that they get right and they really get right are the shades”▶ 24:57
- “Biscuit's a nice neutral shade”▶ 25:06
- “If you do well with more silicone rich formulas, you don't find that they like pick up on your peach fuzz or any texture, then I could very easily see these being your dream bronzer”▶ 25:17
- “I have more hair over here, like I have sideburns, and it really can pick up on cheek hair in my opinion. Silicone formulas can do that”▶ 25:30
Westman Atelier$48.00Face Trace Cream Contour Stickshade · Toast
Saie$26.00Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Effortless Liquid Bronzershade · Sand- “When I'm thinking about quick makeup with bronzers, I'm almost always thinking about the Saie bronzers because they just kind of blend themselves out”▶ 26:28
- “They're more of a luminous finish”▶ 26:40
- “If my skin is just feeling kind of dull, they're really easy to get on and kind of just bring some life back to my skin”▶ 26:42
- “The shade sand is slightly more warm. Just kind of like a soft golden wheat shade. It's not too deep”▶ 26:47
- “If I want a little bit of that natural tanned effect, I'll definitely go with sand”
- “It's not going to be the most long-lasting bronzer in this video, but for that quick makeup, I really enjoy it”▶ 27:14
Saie$26.00Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Effortless Liquid Bronzershade · Salt- “The shade salt definitely has more depth to it, but it is a little bit more cool. I see quite a bit of gray in this one”▶ 26:59
- “I have a feeling that if you do have more of an olive undertone, you could enjoy that little bit of gray that it has”
- “If I want a little bit of sculpt, I'll go with salt”▶ 27:44
Dior$52.00Forever Skin Bronze Bronzing Balm Stickshade · 03 Light Medium- “This is another one of those really easy, balmy, quick, kind of stripe it on the skin products for me”
- “It is quite neutral, but it isn't very gray”▶ 28:05
- “So, it feels like a nice kind of bridge between sculpt and bronze for me”▶ 28:08
- “This has been one of those products this year that I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do”▶ 28:22
Fara Homidi$78.00Essential Bronzer Refillable Compactshade · Bois- “It's incredibly unique this shade in specific because it's a really interesting taupey rose light to medium rose with this really interesting kind of taupe shift to it and I love it”▶ 29:14
- “This to me isn't necessarily going to be a bronzing product for me because of the undertone, but it's really, really pretty”▶ 29:38
- “It actually has quite a bit of luminosity to it”▶ 29:46
- “I think the reason people really enjoy it is it feels like it's harder to find these decidedly rosy bronzers that have a little bit of like that gray that taupiness to them. It's a really really unique color”▶ 29:51
NYX$11.00Buttermelt Bronzershade · 02- “I have loved these for quite a while”▶ 30:19
- “The NYX is not as densely pressed. It's more pigmented. You're going to need a lighter hand”▶ 30:34
- “You just need to take your time. You really do need that fluffy brush. Tap it in here or on the back of your hand and then apply. Really slowly build it up”▶ 30:40
- “But these formulas are uncanny. The way they lay on the skin are very, very similar”▶ 30:54
- “This shade in particular, all buttered up, it's more of a peachy beige bronze”▶ 31:01
- “If you just want to play with that kind of formula, I highly recommend checking these out”▶ 31:09
- “This is really lovely at getting that diffused bronzer effect on the skin with more control because it is angled”▶ 32:10
- “I feel like it just you really cover a lot of ground really quickly while still having a lot of control because it's more angled”▶ 32:16
- “The bristles are really soft, so they don't feel scratchy or strange”▶ 32:23
BK Beauty$33- no stillBK Beauty$32
- “This is smaller. It's probably better if you like to be more precise”
- “This is probably a little bit better for blush”
IT Cosmetics$28.00- “This is lovely because it works really well for foundation, too”▶ 33:47
- “It's so gorgeously soft”
- “It's like dense enough to apply cream product, but it's also movable enough that it works really well for foundation”▶ 34:06
- “Actual shape is really nice cuz it's kind of in between. It's good for blush, for bronzer, for foundation, and you have this really nice like soft concealer brush or eyeshadow brush on the other side”▶ 34:15
