Cream bronzers are ideal for adding warmth and luminosity to your skin, enhancing your features in a natural way. With soft textures and easy to blend, these bronzers are the perfect complement to achieve a healthy, fresh finish without excess.
Types of Formulas: There are many formats of cream bronzers. Bronzing drops, such as W7 Bronzing Drops, are a versatile option as they can be easily mixed with your moisturiser or foundation to create a customised colour intensity. Stick bronzers are an ideal choice for ease of use and blendability, such as essence's Baby Got Bronze stick bronzer. Cream bronzers, are perfect for enhancing natural beauty and defining features, thanks to their sponge applicator that provides the perfect amount.
Finish: There are three types of finishes for cream bronzers, including matte finishes, which provide a natural look without shine and are ideal for combination to oily skin, as they control excess shine, such as Danessa Myricks Power Bronzer. Shimmer finishes contain glitter particles for a more luminous and eye-catching effect, so on oily skin it can give an excessively shiny appearance. Satin finishes are those that offer a soft touch of luminosity without being too shiny, such as Max Factor's Miracle Pure.
Pair with foundation: For an even finish, apply your foundation and then cream bronzer to areas such as the forehead, cheekbones and sides of the nose. Blend well to blend with foundation for a natural look without harsh lines.
Combination with Illuminators and Powders: Enhance the cheekbones by applying the cream bronzer and illuminator on top of the bronzer, especially on the high areas of the face, such as the top of the cheekbones. There are products that have the perfect combination for this, such as Revolution's contour and highlighter stick duo.
Complete Contouring Routine: For a complete contouring routine, apply concealer to the areas you want to highlight and use the cream bronzer on the areas you want to shade (cheekbones, jawline and nose). Blend well and, for more definition, add a touch of bronzing powder to the same areas. Seal the look with setting powder and a touch of highlighter for a professional finish.
There are two main methods of application depending on preference and taste:
Makeup Brush Application: Use dense, synthetic bristle brushes to apply cream bronzer. Apply the product to the areas you want to tan (cheekbones, forehead, nose) and blend with circular movements to achieve a smooth and even finish. We recommend the number 132 brush by corazona.
Sponge application: A damp make-up sponge is ideal for a light and natural application. Place the cream bronzer on the sponge and dab it onto the face. Ideal for this is the Ecotools rosewater make-up sponge.

Yes, cream bronzers can also be suitable for oily skin, especially if you opt for light, matte-finish formulas. For longer wear, you can seal it in with a translucent powder, which helps to control shine.
To avoid an uneven finish, start small and add more if necessary, making sure to blend the colour in circular motions for a natural-looking result.
Apply cream bronzer after foundation and before powder. You can combine it with a highlighter to highlight specific areas. The key is to blend each layer well for a smooth, line-free finish.
The most recommended tools for blending cream bronzer are synthetic bristle brushes or damp makeup sponges. Each method allows for an even application, but brushes offer a more polished finish and sponges a more natural finish.
