Finding the Best Bronzer Brushes
Whether you are looking to enhance an existing sun-kissed glow or need an all-over golden lift for your complexion in the depths of winter, a good bronzer brush is essential in order to achieve an even and natural application.
Bronzer brushes are usually the largest in any set and come in different variants to work with creams, pressed and loose powders. They can be used to lightly dust your face with finishing powder, add contour or blend creamy colors.
Whatever your preferred use is, we have put together everything you need to know to ensure you find the best bronzer brush for you.
What to Consider When Choosing the Best Bronzer Brushes
Use
What’s your favorite type of bronzer? This is the first thing to consider when choosing what brush to go for. If you like creams, go for a brush that blends well, while a classic large powder brush is the go-to if you prefer loose powder — and an angled brush works best with pressed powders.
Size
If you apply your makeup on-the-go, invest in a good retractable brush which comes with a lid, as these are smaller in size and protect everything else in your bag from ending up covered in bronzer particles.
Shape
Fan shaped brushes are great if you want an extremely light application, as they only pick up a tiny amount of product. This shape is ideal for dusting the natural sun spots on the face such as the top of the nose, chin and upper forehead. Angled brushes are easier to get a more precise product placement as they curve into the skin better.
Brand
Sigma and MAC are favorites of makeup artists, and if you are looking to invest in high-quality brushes that will last a long time, they are a trustworthy option. The drugstore also has some gems on its shelves, with e.l.f, wet n wild and Physicians formula making budget-friendly options.
Bristles
Most brushes are made from synthetic bristles. The softer the hairs, the more gentle they will be on your skin — and the more densely packed they are, the less likely they are to shed.
What are the Different Types of Bronzer Brushes?
Large
A large powder brush is a beauty staple and deserves a place in everyone’s makeup bag. It can be used for both bronzers and setting powders, and the larger size also makes it easier to apply bronzer across the chest to match your face and neck color.
Angled
Angled brushes mold into the shape of your face, making them the best option if you use your bronzer to contour or as a blusher.
Dual-Ended
Dual-ended brushes are the best way to minimize makeup bag clutter and get the best value out of your investment. Even if a brush is slightly more expensive, if you get two in one, it can be worth spending a little more.
