I’m A Cream Bronzer Fanatic – These Are The Best Formulas For The Ultimate Sunkissed Glow

If you've ever seen a picture of REFY's Co-founder looking glowing and bronzy, she's most likely wearing the brand's cream bronzer. We love the creamy formula that simply glides over the skin to naturally enhance without looking muddy. At a great price point, the bronzer is available in four shades to recreate natural warmth on the skin. We tested REFY's Cream Bronzer and found the formula to work well with dry, blemish-prone skin. The product glides over the skin evenly and can be built up easily to leave a soft yet sunkissed finish.

Charlotte Tilbury knows a thing or two about glow. Part of the Beautiful Skin range, the Sunkissed Glow cream bronzer is your summer essential to bronze up the face and body. Infused with hyaluronic acid, we found this formula feels super lightweight on the skin and has a blurring effect to hide imperfections. Designed to last on the skin for up to 16-hours, proving to be both sweat and humidity proof, this bronzer is perfect for your summer make-up look.

We all know and love the classic Laguna bronzer from NARS, but now we can get the famous shade in a cream formula. Not only is the shade Laguna available in cream format, but it's available in five shade variations to suit a range of skin tones. Great for dry skin tones, we love the moisturising texture this bronzing cream leaves on the skin, feeling super lightweight. Simply blend with a buffing or stippling brush for a sun-kissed glow or use a more dense brush for a defined finish.

We love the formula of Glossier's Cloud Paint Blush so when the Bronzer launched, we had to get our hands on it. The whipped, 'clean-girl' formula adds glow to the skin alongside keeping the skin hydration. Much like the blush version, the bronzer can be easily built up on the skin depending on your desired look without looking muddy or orange. We found that the gel texture works on all skin types and particularly those with drier skin to add moisture and glow.

We love the creamy formulas Milk Makeup offer, and the matte cream bronzer certainly doesn't disappoint. This matte yet blendable bronzer works to bronze and contour the skin in one handy formula. The compact, retractable product is ideal for on-the-go touch-ups to easily add colour and definition to the skin without too much sparkle. If you love a creamy bronzer that promises to last on the skin, we recommend picking up this one from Milk Makeup.

We couldn't not include Chanel's Les Beiges Bronzing Cream. One of the first of it's kind, this cream bronzer has been reformulated since the launch of the original and is still going strong. We can now shop this classic beauty product across many retailers as it's finally back in stock. Available in three perfect shades ,the cream-gel bronzer leaves a velvet finish on the skin, feels lightweight and looks effortless.

As the name would suggest, Rare Beauty's Effortless bronzer is a super easy to use, creamy stick that glides over the skin. If you're looking for a stick bronzer which allows you to tailor your bronzer placement, this one is a great option. The liquid-like formula melts into the skin and can be easily blended to build up to your desired look. Plus, love the water-resistant formula for summer as there's nothing worse than your bronzer looking streaky.

This multi-purpose product is available in a range of shades perfectly suited for your skin tone to bronze, sculpt and define. The sweat and water-resistant formula has been made to last for hours on the skin without worrying about any smudging. Reviewers have been raving about how easy it is to blend into the skin, which is essential to a great cream bronzer.

Combine powerful skincare ingredients with a blurring, soft-focus cream bronzer with Rose Inc's Solar Infusion. Designed to add tonnes of radiance to the skin, this bronzer revives lacklustre skin with the added vitamins C and E. The creamy formula can be built up on the skin to your desired finish, and reviewers have called it a great option for fair skin tones.
