Hi everyone, my name is Sophia and I
run a little blog called Tattooed Tealady. I mainly blog about beauty whether
it be makeup, skincare, body care or hair care. But I also add the odd
lifestyle post and book review in every now and then to mix things up! I am
here today writing a guest post for the lovely Sasha and I am going to be
sharing with you my top five bronzers!
Tealady’s Top 5 Bronzers
I’ve always been a bronzer girl. I’m
naturally tanned as my family is half Cypriot. So I’ve been blessed with
naturally tanned olive skin than tans beautifully in the sun. For me, bronzer is
the natural choice for my face and complexion and I reach for bronzer 9 times
out of 10, and only rarely use a blusher. I have a lot of bronzers, I just can’t
stop buying them because they are something I use everyday! And picking my
top five was a hard thing to do! But I got there eventually, and here they are!
It seems only fair to start with my
absolute favourite bronzer, ever. A lot of you will have heard of this bronzer
as it is a favourite in the blogosphere. When I bought it, I felt shocked,
scared and nervous as I passed over my card to pay £25 for this bronzer. Yes,
£25. But my golly gosh was it worth it. I have never found a bronzer as perfect
as this, and it really deserves all the hype it gets. It’s great for
contouring, great for normal bronzer application, and all over. It has a very,
slight, teeny-tiny shimmer to it, but to me it’s a matte bronzer and I adore
it!
This bronzer is an absolute bargain
buy at just £1.99! It’s also the bronzer I have repurchased the most over the
years. It is quite a shimmery bronzer, but in a ‘golden glow’ kind of way. I
love this for bronzing and for highlighting and it looks lovely on the apple of
your cheeks! My favourite product from Natural Collection!!
This is the newest bronzer in my
collection but I love it! It’s got five gorgeous shades ranging from a
beautiful highlight to beautiful golden bronze shades. You can use them
separately, or together, but I opt for using them together. It is so easy to
blend too, I just love it! And again, it’s a total bargain bronzer at just
£3.49!!
This one is a little bit more on the
pricey side like the NARS one and retails for £20.50. But for a mineral,
cruelty-free, vegan friendly, halal certified and general all round good for
your skin organic bronzer, I love it! It’s quite matte, and beautiful for
contouring and perfect for those days when you want a modest, subtle bronzed
look!
I got a sample of this bronzer in a
Glossybox and at first I was like ‘WHY! It’s horrible!’ But I have been using
it more and more lately and it’s actually beautiful. I would definitely
consider purchasing the full size once I have finished it, because it’s a
reasonable £8 for a cruelty free brand. I really love this for contouring
because it’s great at defining my face!
So those are my top five bronzers! I
genuinely believe there is a bronzer out there for any skin tone and
complexion. I know a lot of paler beauties tend to stray away from bronzers but
there is definitely one out there for everyone, even the palest of beauties! Do
you have any of these bronzers? What is your favourite bronzer? I’d love to
hear your thoughts and recommendations! You can find me on my blog over at Tattooed

What a great post by her! Nice range of bronzers, for sure. The only I have and LOVE is Benefit Hoola bronzer. Before I got that, I was deciding between Hoola and Laguna. How would you compare Laguna to Hoola, if you know? Also, I'm a little disappointed with the pigmentation of Laguna compared to the rest of the swatches, but overall, they look great! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my guest post :) Laguna is a lot lighter than I usually go with a bronzer but it looks far better and more flattering on the cheek and works as a great contour shade. I don't actually have Beneit Hoola so I can't compare the two, sorry :) xo
DeleteLovely post! The swatches all look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad you liked it :) xo
