Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer $28 *** ** **
You may be tempted to buy this bronzer for the adorable gold compact alone and, while we wouldn’t blame you, there are much better reasons to get it. The powder feels very light on but still packs a punch. I tried two shades, Hotel Heiress, a rosy bronzer, and Park Ave. Princess, a golden-toned bronzer. Both gave me a bronze glow, so choose the shade that works best for your skin tone.

Estee Lauder Soft Duo Bronzer $29.50 *** * ****
The Estee Lauder Soft Duo is perfect for getting the natural sun-kissed look. The deeper color creates the tan and then the lighter shade helps for blending and evening. The color (I tried Amber Bronze) is sophisticated and I felt like one of those women you see at exotic resorts.
