Unlike infamously orange bronzers of the past, current offerings come in a wide selection of formulas, shades, and undertones that complement a wide range of skin tones. But with so many options on the market, it can feel daunting to find the one that's best for you. So, we're taking the guesswork out of it and sharing our list of the very best bronzers. OK, we’re just gonna go out there and say it: cream bronzers are up there with the most underrated of all beauty products. Sure, we’re well aware of the power that a good foundation has, there’s no denying that a smattering of blusher will make you look alive and a sheeny highlighter adds the best finishing touch. But a great cream bronzer just hits different. Sure, powder formulas will do an alright job, but a cream will glide on and take your makeup look up a notch with minimal effort required. Plus, they’re easier to use than their matte bronzer counterparts, so if you’re a bronzer newbie, this guide is the best way to embark on your journey.

The beloved Laguna Bronzer has been iconic for decades, but it recently got even better. The brand took inspiration from its bestselling bronzer shade and expanded the line to include nine different iterations of Laguna that flatter a wide range of skin tones. The talc-free powder formula is smooth, buildable, easy to blend, and long-wearing. If you're someone with sensitive skin, you might want to avoid talc as it can be irritating and pore-clogging. And unlike a lot of totally matte bronzing powders that look flat on the skin, this one has the most subtle luminous pigments in it to give the skin a very understated glow. Ideally it should be two shades darker than your skin tone and with the same undertone for a natural look.” Here are a few tips for uncovering your undertone and then selecting a bronzer color based on your complexion.

Fair or Light Skin Tones: “Opt for lighter hues of rose or peach, and consider beige taupe and pink rather than orange and red tones,” notes James, who suggests imagining how your skin reacts in the sun, then mimic similar results with your bronzer. Neutral Undertones : According to Ono, more neutral tones should opt for a color that is a true brown-base. RiRi’s Fenty Beauty line is known for its inclusive shade range, and this cream bronzer is no exception. “I don’t wear bronzer often, but when I do, I love a creamy formula like this,” says Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro. “I swirl my finger around the pigment and dab it right along my cheeks, and then I’ll take a wet sponge to blend it in.” Its blendable formula makes it easy to achieve a natural-looking glow, and it comes in seven shades to suit a range of skin tones. Plus, the cream-to-powder finish is perfect for those who want a matte look without any cakiness. “What I’ve noticed the most about this formula is that even on super-hot days it won’t melt off or start running down my face,” Navarro adds. Hoola has been popular forever for good reason—it's a basic (in the best way) bronzer that gets the job done each and every time. The powder is completely matte and shimmer-free, though it doesn't look heavy or chalky on the skin. The original shade of Hoola is already complementary on a wide range of skin tones, though we absolutely love that the brand has expanded the range with even more shades. Now, so many more people can experience the magic that is this matte bronzer. It's silky smooth, soft, blendable, and easy to build up for full-glam looks. This makes achieving a warm, bronzy glow truly effortless, and I love how natural it looks.” – Selena Gomez
