The Budget Beauty - Episode 14

My Favorite Bronzers/Illuminizors


I personally do not use bronzers on myself.  I have however, used them on a client during a photo shoot.  She was Caucasian.  She was the first Caucasian whose makeup I had ever done.  I now understand why bronzers are used. 

I had always heard that Bronzers give you that “sun kissed” look.  Looking in the mirror, I was already sun kissed and did not need it.  So, I never bothered to purchase any. 

One day while shopping in my local Wal-Mart, I happened upon Bronzers from a company called “Hard Candy” and decided to purchase 3 of them.  I had also heard about the Queen Collection Bronzers.  Wal-Mart was out of those.  I actually got them to use on my Ebony clients.  But they can be used on anyone.

To make a long story short, I used them on her and she look amazing!  The bronzer seemed to make her come alive.  That is the best way that I can described it. I am so happy I decided to get them.  Now to get the “Queen Collection” of bronzers what are recommended by Mr. Sam Fine himself!







1.  Hard Candy - Tropics






2.  Hard Candy - Tiki




3.  Hard Candy - Hula Hula





I do however like Illuminators!  I use Tiki as one and Giella, I Am Glam for the other.  I also use Estee Lauder's limited edition illuminator in Topaz Chameleon but not on my face.  Only in my décolleté area.

1.  Giella - I am Glam





2.  Estee Lauder Topaz Chemeleon



I have a few other products that I use but these are the major ones!

  1. I have been eyeing the tiki bronzer for a while to use a highlighter. I am nc44. Do you think that it would look nice on me? Does it show sparkles in the light?

    1. Personally, I think Tiki would look amazing on you. To me it does not sparkle, it just glows like, The Balm's Mary-Lou-Manizer and Lorac"s Spotlight. When I hear the word sparkle, the first thing that comes to mind is glitter. Those products have no glitter in them. I hope this helps and thanks for stopping by!
