The 7 Best Bronzers That Actually Look Natural (Yes, Really)

In my dreams, the air is warm, my skin is bronzed, and I've spent the last few days in the Antibes, practicing my broken French with the locals. But this is reality, and IRL, the air is a blizzard, my face is washed out, and the only thing I've practiced is how to avoid my aunt's questions about my love life during the holidays.

But just because most of us aren't currently vacationing on a island, it doesn't mean that we can't get the same (albeit way healthier) glow at home. The key is choosing a bronzer that won't make you look muddy, streaky, or like you're wearing a mask five shades darker than your skin. Easy, right? Don't worry, I've done the hard work for you and rounded up the best seven bronzers to help you take your glow-up to the next level.
