I just felt in love with new Bobbie Brown illuminating bronzing powders and I bought mine in Hondos Centre

also,I love Mac refined golden

I find Bourjois bronzer (the one that looks like a chocolate bar) quite nice, but it is a tiny bit shimmery. The color is really nice, though

I have a Natural Collection bronzer. It's nowhere near the high end bronzers but it still gives a nice bronzing effect and price-wise, it's awesome

 

[irini]

thanks for the reccomendetions guys,but i would rather if you suggest one of the bronzers in the poll

I voted for the Dior, but imo NARS in laguna in the best bronzer of all time lol

 

[ArielleMonai]

I like the MUFE bronzer cause a little goes a long way and there isn't any annoying glitter for the oily skinned divas...

 

[irini]

guys my question: which actually gives a tan/brown color and not orange?

 

[aleksis210]

Opps! Sorry didn't see that you don't get NARS ...I'd go for the MUFE..

This chick is the one who helped me a month ago when I had the same dilemma. Even detailed down why certain brands would be better for me and she was right. I ended up with a Stila no. 2 and Bobbi Brown....Bobbi Brown was the winner for me but she knows her stuff.

Thank you once again HerGreyness because I was freaking clueless and it was irking me severely.

It just depends on your skin color (foundation brand and colors do you use?) and what you want. What i've found is that a lot of bronzers have some sort of shimmer in it which i don't like.
MUFE Mat Bronze Bronzer doesn't. I am NC37 in MAC Studio Fix Foundation SPF 15 and MUFE HD Foundation Foundation 140 and 155/127 and (lol) and i used Light Bronze 0 for my skin to naturally contour my face and cheekbones. It gives a little hint of color and helps me blend my foundation into the sides of my face as the center of my face/cheeks are much lighter than the outside (which includes my forehead of course. infact i think Light Bronze 0 matches my forehead perfectly lol).
Before purchasing this i got Stila Sun Bronzing Powder in Shade 01 which looks like it has some slight shimmer in it but nothing when i swatched it in store. Too bad i lost my receipt and didn't need it anymore when i bought the MUFE bronzer.

Benefit Hula apparently is a bronzer that people like but if you have sensitive skin this might not be the bronzer for you because it has some sort of fragrance in it and apparently it makes people break out. I wouldn't know this because i haven't personally tried it.

Cargo which is a brand that's known for their bronzers has a matte one called medium matte is a little too orange on me. It's on sale at Sephora.com for half off of $28 which comes out to just $14 because they are no longer carrying Cargo at their store. But who knows, it might just work for you depending on your skin tone color
and they have 3 other shades available too.

Umm.. hmm.. oh, Kim Kardashian swears by Smashbox's Bronze Lights bronzer in suntan matte. It's $28. I've thought about trying this but since i'm already happy with my MUFE bronzer i don't want to spend another $28 on one. It's tempting though. =).

Hope this helps.
