I have always been a bronzer girl. I know blush has been having its moment, but bronzer is the key to sun-kissed skin. Bronzer provides that tropical getaway glow, without trying too hard.
More importantly, bronzer adds dimension and contours your face. It provides a framework to add blush and concealer. I also love to use bronzer on my eyelids, after seeing Kendall Jenner’s makeup artist do the same.
There are lots of bronzers on the market, but Chanel’s Les Beiges Bronzing Cream is a standout product. The velvet-like texture is unlike most bronzers. It is a cream formula that is featherlight and smooth. The product is buildable, long-lasting and doesn’t cake. The natural feel of the bronzer definitely provides that vacation glow in a jar.
I would love to achieve a healthy glow every time I wear makeup. However, at $50, the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream is definitely a splurge. It is a bit much to spend on bronzer that comes in a small jar. Thankfully, there are plenty of Chanel bronzer dupe on the market. These dupes have similar creamy textures as the original.
Scroll below for the list of Chanel bronzer dupes which are comparable to the original.
A little goes a long way with the Chanel bronzing cream. A combination of mineral waxes and silica provides that natural-looking radiance.
