Best Bronzer
Why: Not only does this liquid bronzer blend seamlessly over skin to impart a just-from-the-beach glow, it also loads you up with good-for-skin ingredients, like vitamin E and jojoba oil.
Honorable Mention: Inika Organic Baked Mineral Bronzer
Readers' Choice Winner: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer
Why: This is my go-to bronzer for natural-looking, sun-kissed skin. It doesn't oxidize or turn orange on the skin, and it doesn't make naturally oily skin look patchy or dirty.
