If there is one makeup must-have for Black women, bronzer is definitely that girl! While it’s easy to think that your foundation, concealer, blush, and highlighter are all you need to pull off a stunning beauty beat, you’d be surprised to see how the right bronzer can upgrade your makeup.

And we’re not talking about those old school formulas that give your face a chalky look on your melanin-rich skin. These days bronzers come in an array of formulas including stick, cream, powder offerings to give your face the finish you’re looking for.

So, what’s the hype about bronzer? With so many makeup products out there, it’s no surprise that many people classify bronzer as an optional find, but when it comes to brown skin tones, this essential can make all the difference. Bronzer adds warmth, definition to skin to help give your skin a bright and vibrant look. In other words, you can achieve a sun-kissed glow with a few swipes.

Down to upgrade your makeup collection with the finest primers for brown skin? Get ready to take some notes so you know which one to grab on your next shopping trip.

Since we’ve covered the best bronzers for brown skin, it’s only right we point you in the direction of the best beauty tools to apply it with. Of course, when it comes to cream bronzer, you can use a makeup blender or your fingertips to apply color. But if you prefer the look of an air-brushed finish, a bronzer brush, contour brush, or face sculpting brush will come in handy. You can also use theses brushes to apply other bronzer formulas. The goal is to utilize a brush that can provide flawless coverage without missing any areas.

And then there’s the Fenty Beauty Sculpting Bronzer Brush ($34, Fentybeauty.com) makes it all easy. This brush has a tapered brush head with a custom paw shape that works to contour products perfectly. Check out the video below of Rihanna working her magic with this brush AND her cream bronzer so you know just what to expect.
