 Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer ($28) Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer is an oil-, talc- and fragrance-free bronzer that fuses earthly minerals with naturally derived ingredients for a finish that’s pure perfection. This bronzer contains Skinvigorating™ ingredients like vitamins A and E, which act as antioxidants to fight free radical damage and mineral pigments that are known for their soothing and softening properties.
My Thoughts:
This is definitely one of my favorite bronzers. Aside from the adorable packaging and clever shade names (Hotel Heiress and Park Avenue Princess), I love how light weight this bronzer feels. When I wear this bronzer, it looks like I just came back from a day a the beach. It goes on super smooth and looks so natural. The bronzer gives you a natural glow; not a shimmery glow (which I love!). I think this bronzer will work for all the skintones because of its sheerness, but yet buildable formula.

 Smashbox O-Bronze Intuitive Cheek Bronzer ($26) Get gorgeously glowing cheeks in your own perfect sunkissed bronze shade. This innovative creamy cheek bronzer instantly transforms from white to your own custom shade of bronze. O-Bronze is packed with our exclusive Goji-Berry C-Complex, ginkgo biloba, and pomegranate seed for antioxidant protection. Apply a small dab to cheeks with fingertips and blend, breaking beads to release your most natural bronze glow.
My Thoughts:
I think this bronzer is perfect for people with pale skin or who want subtle color, because the color is rather light. It’s a gel formula that contains beads that break to release the color when you blend. The bronze color is sheer, so you don’t end up with an unnatural orange color. I personally won’t be repurchasing Smashbox O-bronze, because I have to apply so much of the bronzer inorder for the bronze color to appear, and considering the size of the tube, it’s not worth it.

My Thoughts:
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! This easily could be my HG bronzer. If you look closely at the bronzer in-person, you’ll notice a bit of shimmer. But when you apply it, you don’t see the shimmer. Amazing! It gives you a healthy tanned color that doesn’t scream unnatural. It’s light and silky smooth and lasts all day. It’s on the sheer side, which I think is perfect. It makes layering for more color much easier. It’s the best and worth $42. Dior Bronze Original Tan Bronzer can be you’re HG bronzer too if you’re looking more of a matte bronzer than a shimmery bronzer.

 Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder ($32) Infused with natural minerals, these Pure Finish Mineral powders contain light-reflective mica and skin-softening silica to assure a natural luminous look, plus aloe vera and chamomile – ingredients known for their soothing and moisturizing benefits. Sweep over cheekbones, forehead and brow bones, with its own Kabuki-style brush, to give skin a healthy sun-kissed glow.
My Thoughts:
I didn’t like this bronzer at all. My main reason for not liking the Pure Finish Mineral Brozing Powder is the color. When I applied it, it gave my complexion a reddish orange color instead of the usual brownish orange color you get from a bronzer. Also, it has no staying power. I found myself having to do many touch-ups throughout the day. This lead to cakiness and a powdery finish. I only can imagine what the bronzer would look like on my face when the weather gets warmier and humid.
