Now real talk moment:
I cannot tan. Or, at least, I shouldn’t tan. Whenever I have gotten a great tan “naturally” it usually means that I’ve actually gotten burned, then freckled, then burned again, and then it fades into a tan. So, as you can see – that’s a dangerous, and frankly reckless, way to achieve a summery bronze.
Best Bronzers and Self Tanners
My Favourite Products to Achieve a Perfect Summer Bronze
Self Tanners:
As I mentioned in my latest Sun-less Tanning routine, I am obsessed with the St Tropez Water Mousse, and St Tropez Water Mist.



Bronzers:
Laura Mercier Soleil
I recently just got and started using the Laura Mercier Soleil bronzer and you guys – I am obsessed. This bronzer is a bit lighter than what I have used previously, but I seriously love it. It adds such a smooth, soft, and delicate bronze to your skin and never looks chalky, muddy, or orange. It’s absolutely stunning.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer
The bronzer I have been using for years and years is my Benefit Hoola Bronzer. I love this bronzer and the fact that it’s a slightly cooler and darker bronze shade than the others in today’s post. I tend to use this more when I have a tan or my sunless tan is at it’s deepest bronze. I find when I am back to being my normal paleness that this bronzer can appear a bit too harsh on my skin. If I use this when I am pale, I tend to mix it with a lighter bronzer so that this bronzer acts more like a contour shade.
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Palette
The Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Palette has been one of my go-tos since last summer, and I honestly think it’s going to always be in my makeup bag. This bronzer is lighter than hoola, but a slight bit deeper than soleil, making it a great in-between shade for when I am looking for something to give me a bit of a deeper bronze without looking like I am contouring. I would also say this shade is a bit warmer than the two above.


Nudestix Bondi Bae
Bondi Bae is another bronzer I absolutely adore. The cream formula makes it great for drier skin types, and it blends out super easily. This is the warmest shade out of all the ones mentioned today, so I would recommend using it just as a bronzer and not a contour shade and also using a light hand when applying.
