Why We Love It
Very creamy formula
Easy to use
Good shade range
What to Consider
The shades lean slightly orange/very warm
This formula comes highly recommended by Johnson and for good reason: you’ve never met a creamier and easier-to-blend formula, she says. It’s very pigmented and offers full coverage, which is great at blurring fine lines, blemishes, large pores, and more. However, despite its rich color payoff, it melts seamlessly into the skin and takes no effort to blend. The moisturizing texture comes from rosehip oil, which is rich in antioxidants and can help improve the look of dark spots; soothing green tea extract; and hydrating sodium hyaluronate to plump skin.

Best Powder
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer

Why We Love It
Offers radiant finish
Airy texture
What to Consider
It could offer deeper shades
If you want a powder formula (we get it—creams can feel intimidating), try this one, which is so light and airy that there’s no chance it appears chalky or dry. When choosing a powder formula, bronzer, or otherwise, McCormick says you’ll want something that’s finely milled. A bonus to this formula is the photoluminescent technology, which means it contains tiny particles that manipulate and refract light to make skin appear luminous. “This is my go-to because it gives the perfect amount of glow without highlighting fine lines and texture,” says McCormick.
