I am planning on purchasing some bronzer makeup and I was just wondering which bronzer do you use. What is the best drugstore bronzer? The best department store brand?
Wet n Wild and Physician's Formula make good drugstore bronzers.
As for department stores, Guerlain arguably makes the best one. Nars is good too. I'm using a bronzer by theBalm right now and like it, but I'm not really a bronzer girl.
IMO bronzer is one of those things that you can be cheap about, so just go for drugstore. Makeupalley has reviews on many different bronzers that you can check out (but they all have a pretty high 4-5 rating, another reason why you can go cheap with bronzers).
I agree with Gigi about using Physician's Formula products... they're pretty good and relatively inexpensive from my experience. I also don't use bronzer much, but I have one from Everyday Minerals (that I got as a free gift) and it works nicely whenever I actually do use it.
I've also heard that Eyeko's tinted cream is good for adding a touch of bronzed shimmer as well.
Off-topic (sorta) but I HATE the Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips. No matter how I use it or how clean my fingers/brush are, this nasty crust forms over the top which prevents me from getting enough product. And sometimes they can be like $23CND, which isn't that much cheaper from a higher-end brand.
So I'd try something different from PF if I were you =p
