LORAC TANtalizer Baked Matte Satin Bronzer SPF 15 ($30) LORAC has packed Red Carpet radiance into a velvety-smooth bronzing powder with SPF 15. This mineral-based baked formula is long-wearing, weightless, can be used wet or dry according to the intensity you desire, and is also great for contouring. Get a natural glow with TANtalizer Matte Satin Baked Bronzing Powder!
My Thoughts:
I like this bronzer much better than LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer. Even though it’s supposed to be matte, it’s not. It does have a bit of shimmer, but not as shimmery as the LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer. I think the TANtalizer Baked Matte Satin Bronzer gives a more natural, healthy glow. I love the color. It gives you a gorgeous sun-kissed look. The color lasts all day and looks better as the day progresses. If you have a light complexion, use a light hand. This color can be too dark and unnatural if you use too much. I definetly would choose TANtalizer Baked Matte Satin Bronzer over the LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer.

Too Faced Caribbean In a Compact ($25) All right girls listen up…enough sun damage and endangering your life with those nasty UVB and UVA rays. There is no excuse when Too Faced has created five unique one-of-a-kind bronzers. Control your fake bake and choose a subtle glow or a savage tan.
My Thoughts:
I have this bronzer in Snow Bunny (pictured). I use this as a bronzer, highlighter, and blush. It’s shimmery, but nothing to be afraid of. It gives you a healthy glow. I’ve had this for a couple of years now and I still haven’t hit the bottom yet. I mostly use this during the late fall, winter, and early spring when I am pale and in desperate need of some color. I love how it doesn’t make me orange or look like I have a fake tan. It gives you a natural look.

Too Faced Bronze ($28.50) This good-for-you bronzing powder is made of pure minerals and real crushed fresh water pearls to give an authentically natural flawless tan all year long! Pure illuminating pigments are naturally activated by your skin to create a brighter smoother and more radiant complexion.
My Thoughts:
Even though this bronzer shimmers, it gives your complexion a soft glow. Like a glow from within. It has a sheer coverage that is buildable. So if you have fair skin, you don’t have to worry about this being too dark. I can tell this is the type of bronzer that I will be using year round.

Guerlain Terracotta Mineral Flawless Bronzing Powder ($65) Guerlain Terracotta Mineral Flawless Bronzing Powder provides a natural-looking tan and a flawless finish—just like that of a sheer foundation. When Guerlain’s legendary bronzing expertise unites with the power of minerals, the result is a luminous, glowing complexion. Applying your Terracotta is as easy as ever, thanks to its revolutionary format: Housed in a clever, portable case with a mini professional Kabuki brush, the loose powder cannot escape!
My Thoughts:
This bronzer is perfect for light complexions. The colors aren’t very dark at all and layering isn’t a problem. It’s a loose powder that can lead to messiness if you’re always in a hurry like me. It looks very natural and soft when applied and doesn’t have any shimmer at all. I will not be repurchasing the bronzer because I don’t think the bronzer is worth $65. I can find bronzers that work much better for half the price.

LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer ($30) Baked on terra cotta, this silky-smooth, luminous bronzing powder keeps you looking bronze and beautiful long after the sun has set and the cameras have gone. Swirling sun-kissed shades deliver Red Carpet radiance in an instant. Extend the summer with this all-in-one compact containing a bronzer in the top compartment and a brush and mirror in the lower compartment.
My Thoughts:
WOW! Is this bronzer shimmery or what? It does give your complexion a healthy glow I must admit, but I think the glow is a little too unnatural for me. It didn’t make me orange, but a nice, natural tan color. I don’t think this bronzer will work for fair-skinned complexions, because it may be a tad bit too dark. It was a little bit too dark for me, because I’m still a little pale from hibernating during the winter. The color lasts all day, and I love the color. If you have a medium or dark complexion or are tan, definitely give LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer a try. I think it will look really good especially during the summer.
