15 Of The Best Bronzer Brushes

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Bronzer is your shortcut to a healthy, have-you-been-on-holiday glow in just a few swipes. Application is key though, and you’ll need one of the best bronzer brushes to avoid a muddy or tangoed finish. 

 

Not sure what kind of brush to use for your bronzer? The answer will be slightly different depending on who you speak to. Some makeup artists recommend a tapered angled brush when asked how to apply bronzer, while others prefer a domed one that could be used as the same brush for bronzer and blush. Fluffy kabuki brushes are a popular choice too, and work best for bronzer vs contour. 

 

Ultimately, it comes down to the texture of bronzer you’re using (the best cream bronzer brush will vary from the best powder one) and the kind of look you’re hoping to create. This brings us neatly to the questions of where to apply bronzer and where should bronzer go on the face. Ideally, bronzer should be kept to the so-called ‘high points’ where the sun naturally hits. That’s your forehead, the bridge of your nose, the tops of your cheekbones and your chin. Being this precise with your bronzer placement will take a little more consideration than smooshing it all over, but the payoff will be far more convincing.

A lot of thought has gone into the bristles on this sleek bronzer brush. Not only are they synthetic, but they’re also infused with anti-bacterial properties and crafted to exactly the right length to ensure they distribute the perfect amount of bronzer onto your complexion. Impressive, eh? 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”2. MF4 FACE BRUSH – ANGLED ALL OVER “][vc_single_image image=”98974″ link=”url:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fmade-by-mitchell%2Fmf4-face-brush-angled-all-over%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

If you prefer bold brights over classic black and metallics then you’ll love the zesty lime shade of the Mitchell MF4 Brush. The precision size and angled shape are perfect for getting into the smaller areas of your face, such as around the nose. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”3. 143S BRONZER FAN BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98966″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fmac-cosmetics%2F143s-bronzer-fan-brush%2F%20||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

Flat, fan-shaped brushes like this one from MAC are great for bronzer brush beginners as they make it easy to place powder products onto your skin in a way that follows the natural curves of your face. Top marks for the chic bronze handle too. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”4. P-25 DENSE ANGLED BUFFER BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98975″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Ftrixie-cosmetics%2Fp-25-dense-angled-buffer-brush%2F%20||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

Cream and liquid bronzers can take a bit more persuasion to get them where you want them, and this angled brush has the perfect bristle density for smudge and drip-free blending and sculpting. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”5. HD CONTOUR BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98971″ link=”url:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fbrushworks%2Fhd-contour-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

Bronzer can be used for contouring but requires a slightly different approach as you’re using the product in the hollows of your face to create the illusion of shadows rather than a sun-kissed glow. The Brushworks HD Contour Brush is the ideal shape for carving out your cheekbones and jawline.  

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”6. CREATE YOUR LOOK RETRACTABLE KABUKI BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98968″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fmakeup-revolution%2Fcreate-your-look-retractable-kabuki-brush%2F%20||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

Good brushes don’t need to break the bank, and this one is very affordable at just £6. The retractable shape isn’t just handy for travel but also allows you to control how sparse the bristles are – keep them more tightly packed for cream formulas and more spaced out for powder.  

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”7. ROUNDED CHEEK BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98978″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fbh-cosmetics%2Frounded-cheek-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

Another purse-friendly brush, the BH Cosmetics Rounded Cheek Brush will work hard in your kit, doubling up as a blusher and highlighter brush too. The rounded shape is great for creating a soft finish. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”8. F29 HD BRONZE™ BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98970″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fsigma-beauty%2Ff29-hd-bronze-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

No one likes a starchy makeup brush, so you’ll be pleased to know that the synthetic bristles on the Sigma Beauty F29 HD Bronze Brush are velvety soft. The handle is super durable too, making for a tool that’s built to last. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”9. KABUKI BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98972″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Feffn-beauty%2Fkabuki-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

This kabuki brush from EFFN may have been made with tanning in mind but works just as well with bronzer too. The handle is short enough for maximum precision, but long enough to give you the space to blend and buff too. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”10. A01 – DOMED POWDER BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98967″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fspectrum-collections%2Fa01-domed-powder-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”12. SUNTORINI MULTI-POWDER BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98979″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fzoeva%2Fsuntorini-multi-powder-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

Worried about your best bronzer brush getting grubby in your bag? This retractable, pocket-sized brush with a lid is a simple solution. It’s a multi-tasking master too, as the domed shape and mini size make it perfect for applying bronzer, blusher or setting powder. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”13. DRIPPING GOLD LARGE KABUKI BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98969″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Fsosu-by-suzanne-jackson%2Fdripping-gold-large-kabuki-brush%2F||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

If you want a bronzer brush that will work on your body for a spot of tantouring (that’s contouring with tan) too, then Sosu Cosmetics Dripping Gold Large Kabuki Brush is just the ticket. The densely packed bristles are great for really working bronzer or fake tan into your skin for a flawless finish. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”14.

The cruelty-free beauty movement has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and now most makeup brushes available are vegan – but we still like to see brands shouting out their eco-credentials. The synthetic hairs on this super-sized bronzer brush by Lethal Cosmetics are extra soft too. 

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”15. PRECISION DUO CONTOUR BRUSH “][vc_single_image image=”98977″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautybay.com%2Fp%2Ficonic-london%2Fprecision-duo-contour-brush%2F%20||target:%20_blank” onclick=”custom_link”][vc_column_text]

If you really want to get into the detail then this brush is the perfect tool for you. The fluffier end is great for buffing bronzer onto your forehead, cheeks and chin while the clever ‘U’ shaped brush has been carefully designed to contour and sculpt the sides of your nose.
