8 Bronzers Makeup Artists Swear By for Older Women

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.

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.
